I am Google Certified and have been in the Search Marketing industry for six plus years and in marketing for over fourteen years. My Search experience includes managing all aspects of SEM –PPC (Pay-per-Click), SEO (Search Engine Optimization), and SMO (Social Media Optimization) for both b2c and b2b clients.
I have managed many large and very competitive, PPC campaigns (many exceeding $100K a month) – with a track record of driving down Cost Per Actions (CPA's), increasing ROI, improving Click through Rates (CTR), and much more. I have dealt with and overcame issues, such as pharma policies, click fraud, duplicate keyword needs and bidding against oneself (due to the magnitude of campaigns and their reach), and trademark issues. I also facilitate teams – contractors and/or in house folks – to ensure the most impact – not divide, but combine and conquer. And most importantly track, track, track!
Also I have in depth experience in landing page optimization – whether it’s using Website Optimizer or working with design teams to create several ‘sticky’ landing pages. Test, Test, and Test more.
