Gordon G.

I'm an experienced SEO content writer and search engine optimisation specialist, having built over 300 websites and written the content for all of them. My content writing achieves top rankings in the search results of Google and other search engines, with very high conversion rates. I enjoy producing great content which engages readers and draws in new visitors. A good Call To Action leading to a high CTR and conversion rate is important. As a professional SEO working for a large number of clients and affiliate networks, I know what makes websites nurture and grow their audiences, resulting in visitor engagement and transactional results, whether the aim is to click on a link, sign people up to a subscription or buy a product or service. My last major engagement was writing the content of a very large ecommerce website. I was responsible for writing feature articles and "how-to" advice for that industry, as well as over 1,000 product sales pages/product description pages for the site's large online store. All of this long-form content I meticulously SEO optimised for Google and the main search engines, and, even though the website was very young and had a very low DA score as a result of this, many of these articles gained 1st-page listings in the Google search results after only a few days of being posted, due to optimised content alone, and before any backlink campaign had been started. I've run my own successful Internet-based business for many years, and as a business owner, I know what other business owners want. In particular, I'm highly methodical about return on investment and especially keeping to deadlines, so clients need not worry about that when they hire me! Academic qualifications and early work experience: I have a degree in English Literature and a Master's degree in Modern Literature. During my earlier experience in the market research industry, I had a staff of 350 incredible people. I taught myself to code and was a specwriter for several years in the data prep and data processing side of the industry, analysing the results of the research projects that our clients had set for us. So I'm very comfortable in a technical as well as a linguistic environment. Successful SEO web writing needs a very good understanding of both. Any successful Internet marketing and SEO project starts with robust keyword research and takes off from there; if this keyword research (which measures both search volume and competition metrics) is wrong at the start, then any subsequent work will not be based on a firm foundation and the campaign will likely fail. I've completed a lot of work for several agencies and also for private clients through LinkedIn, etc. Although I've had only three projects here on Upwork, these have tended to be long projects, sometimes lasting for several years, as my clients have treated me as a partner to their businesses, and not 'just' a freelancer. The extent and diversity of projects I've worked on, and the top-rated feedback from my clients, can be seen in my portfolio and reviews both on Upwork and elsewhere. My clients have always been very satisfied and happy with my work, and this is a reputation I continue to sustain.
