With great content comes great responsibility

SEO is the practice of optimizing a website for Google and other search engines with the goal of earning more web traffic and improving the visibility of the site. When done correctly, SEO results in increased leads, customers, and sales.

Brands really can make a difference...

Developing a content strategy that focuses on creating valuable, engaging content that will resonate with your target audience needs a superhero to drive results.

I am that superhero. I’m a content strategist with over 20 years of experience in content marketing and SEO with proven results.

I’m a content writer first and foremost who develops SEO and content strategies for businesses big and small. I love working with brands who are passionate about their work and want to make a difference in their community.

My goal is to help these businesses succeed and reach more people online with story-based, expert-driven content. I truly believe every company has a story to tell – even if they don’t think they do.

I've worked with some pretty awesome people

I only worked with Melissa for a short time, and I think her skills are misunderstood. Her profile says that she’s an expert writer, content strategist and link developer, but I consider her to more of an artist. Melissa can take a subject she knows little about and transform it into a blog or piece of content that’s relevant, timely and interesting. That’s really hard and she’s really good. She’s also a wizard when it comes to link development and understands how to build a strong profile that boosts and maintains search engine rankings. She’s also open, welcoming, honest and fun and would make a fantastic addition to any organization.
