The task
SEO is not just about ranking higher in search results; it's about connecting businesses with their target audience, building online visibility, and unlocking the true potential of digital success.
I have had the privilege of working with C21 and its affiliated companies as one of their Senior Web and SEO Specialists. During my tenure, I played a crucial role in optimizing the online presence and visibility of various websites under the C21 umbrella. As a Senior Web and SEO Specialist, my responsibilities encompassed a wide range of tasks aimed at driving organic traffic and improving search engine rankings for these websites.
One of my key contributions was conducting comprehensive keyword research to identify relevant and high-traffic keywords that could enhance the websites’ visibility in search engine results pages (SERPs). I utilized various tools and techniques to analyze search trends, competition, and user intent, ensuring that our websites were well-positioned to attract the right audience.
I worked closely with the development and content teams to implement on-page optimization strategies. This involved optimizing website structures, meta tags, headings, and URLs to make them search engine-friendly. Additionally, I provided guidance on content creation and optimization, ensuring that the websites featured high-quality, keyword-rich content that resonated with both users and search engines.
