Friendly Neighborhood Content Strategist

With great content comes great responsibility

If you're not using content marketing, you're missing out on one of the most powerful tools in your online arsenal. Content marketing is the process of creating and distributing valuable content to attract and retain a clearly defined audience.

SEO

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.

Conversion Optimization

Conversion optimization is the process of increasing the amount of visitors to a website who take a desired action, such as making a purchase or filling out a contact form. Conversion helps you achieve your business goals by increasing traffic 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

Vikram Kinkar, TechNorms

I have worked with Melissa for nearly a decade now. She is a highly disciplined and exceptionally creative writer who doesn’t leave any stone unturned to get the best information on any given topic. She has an amazing work ethic, is dedicated, methodical and very capable of accepting any challenge that comes her way.

Her writing is very well crafted keeping SEO in mind. That’s one reason why some of her work from a decade back still ranks in the top 10 results for us. Since she has such excellent grasp on web content writing her recommendations for content development are spot on. That’s the best RoI anyone could ask for.

If you need a writer in the tech, automobile or social media space there are few who are as good as her. She is one team member on whom I can always count on.

Jack Roldan, See Deep Local

Melissa is a phenomenal force to work with, a real team player, she truly defined leadership, creativity and expertise in multiple disciplines. From being a tremendous asset to clients by not just meeting their needs but exceeding their goals and delivering differentiating content stratagem, she is an outstanding resource and expert that can be trusted to deliver outstanding output. Highly recommended!

Adam Ragsdale, NuLeaf Naturals

Melissa has a unique superpower to uplift any team. She brings a tremendous breadth of expertise not only in digital, but marketing strategy overall. A perpetual learner, she has her finger on the pulse of innovation and is eager to share her knowledge. Anyone would be fortunate to work with Melissa.
