Grant Simmons, SEO

SEO Speaker

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, now leading and mentoring their own 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 these explorations have shaped my appreciation of other cultures and my home in the US. I believe they are foundational to empathy, communication, and my positive attitude of gratitude.

I’ve been fortunate enough to present at search and marketing conferences around the globe. At these conferences, 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).

Got SEO Strategy?

Looking for some ideas, SEO consulting, SEO strategy, or a different perspective on your online business?

I’m available for hourly consulting or retainer-based projects. Contact me, and let’s chat to see if there’s a mutually beneficial opportunity.

This is J.K. Simmons (no relation), but I’ve also seen it all. In SEO.
That experience can save you time, money, and hair.
(Too late for both JK and I lol)

Grant is someone that can inject immense humour into boring topics whilst keeping his audience engaged.

“The Senior Care Marketing & Sales Summit (SMASH) has had the honor of having Grant Simmons give our opening keynote. He’s amazing – not only unbelievably smart and insightful about all things digital, but he also gets to know the audience in advance and delivers the goods with fantastic energy and humor! We can’t wait for the next time!”

Grant’s extensive background in SEO and his deep understanding of search engines, particularly InLinks Entity SEO, made all the difference in driving success for our initiative.

Grant’s presentation at DMO Advanced was fantastic. He did a great job of balancing out the theoretical with the actionable about how to create content that satisfies users and search engines. Aside from the top-notch material he presented, he did so with tons of energy and with the goal of keeping us all engaged. It’s not often you attend a talk that’s this perfect blend of entertaining and informative!

Grant is a legend. So very well known for his cut the crap attitude to getting things done. Doing this year’s Digital Elite Day conference had its challenges and putting on a 2 day virtual conference was a little scary. I asked Grant slightly last minute to do a session and he delivered big time. I know he is someone I can totally rely on to enhance one of our conferences.

Are you looking for an SEO Trainer?

It’s an honor to share my years of expertise and insights with your stakeholders, department, team, or (in some cases) clients. I’ve worked with large and small companies, agencies, and non-profits to ensure department alignment, improved knowledge, and better processes are in place, to optimize the outcomes for your business.

Are you interested in seeing some of my prior SEO talks and interviews?

There’s a selection on my SEO interviews page and around the web if you search (on Google = Irony)

Need a second SEO opinion or sounding board?

A famous SEO saying goes something like this: “Put 10 SEOs in a room, and you’ll get 10 different opinions!” It’s not far from the truth, but the real truth is that there are potentially multiple ways to get to where your business needs to go, and having only one opinion might not get you there.

Leverage the many mistakes I made, the tests I’ve run, and the successes I’ve been a part of to get a second (or third) opinion with actionable insights and recommendations.

Get unstuck, find the right path, and get moving toward your goals, knowing that you’ve crossed t’s and dotted i’s in your SEO initiatives!
