Grant Simmons, SEO

I’m an online marketing strategist, motivational leader, entrepreneur, trainer, speaker, author, and experienced bridge between marketing & technology. As an SEO practitioner since before SEO was a “thing,” I use logic, data, knowledge, experience, and a large slice of common sense to solve large site challenges, medium-sized site issues, and small site considerations to improve and grow the right traffic for financial, business and organizational success.

I’ve led teams of 15+ search marketers, mentoring, inspiring, and teaching, and I am proud to say many are working at large enterprises, leading and mentoring their teams.

I’ve been in agency leadership positions where I have helped the agency and their clients realize organic traffic success, ensure processes are solid, ensure client retention is optimized, and SEO teams are experiencing positive career growth and efficiency (all while delivering a superior SEO product!)

I love to travel and explore, and my appreciation of other cultures and my home in the US comes from these explorations. I believe they are a foundational part of empathy, communication, and my positive attitude of gratitude.

I’ve been fortunate enough to present at search and marketing conferences around the globe, where I mix an appropriate amount of English humour, self-designed slides, engaging themes, and valuable takeaways to entertain and educate diverse audiences of advanced and beginner search marketers, SEOs, agency owners, and other marketing professionals. A smattering of those marketing presentations can be found on Slideshare (and some on Speaker Deck.)
