My Journey in the SEO World

Throughout my career, navigating the turbulent waters of the SEO world from various management roles in different companies, I’ve encountered my fair share of frustrations with multiple SEO agencies. Each experience was a learning opportunity, highlighting a prevalent issue within the SEO services industry: a glaring lack of quality and transparency in the services provided. This realization wasn’t just a passing thought; it was a repeated disappointment, a pattern I observed across numerous SEO agencies promising to elevate online visibility and drive digital success.

Issues with SEO Agencies

• Cookie-cutter strategies that failed to consider the unique aspects of my companies’ digital footprints
• A disheartening lack of communication and transparency about the methodologies being employed
• Lack of costs transparency when it comes to SEO services, mostly for the ongoing SEO outreach (link-building) services.

Time and again, I found myself grappling with strategies that not only underdelivered but also, in some cases, increased SEO monthly budgets since third-party or middle men are adding a significant additional cost to the ongoing campaigns we ran at that time on the companies I worked for.

Misalignment of Priorities

One of the most critical issues I faced was the misalignment of agencies’ priorities with our own. Rather than tailoring their approach to fit our specific needs and objectives, many SEO agencies seemed to prioritize their bottom line over our digital success. This approach not only led to inefficient use of resources but also to missed opportunities in a rapidly evolving digital landscape.

Lack of Commitment to Learning

Moreover, the industry’s fast-paced nature meant that staying ahead required a commitment to continuous learning and adaptation commitment that was often promised but rarely fulfilled. The final straw was the realization that many SEO agencies lacked a fundamental understanding of the intricate balance between SEO overall and technical SEO and how they could be leveraged together to create a cohesive and powerful online marketing strategy.

Founding onwardSEO

Driven by these repeated frustrations and the conviction that online businesses deserved better, I founded onwardSEO – SEO agency. The vision was clear: to build an SEO agency that stood for quality, transparency, and innovation in the SEO and Technical SEO space. At onwardSEO, we are committed to demystifying the complex world of online marketing for our clients, providing them with unparalleled SEO services that are tailored to their unique needs and goals.
