All About Angela

Since joining 1st on the List in 1997, Angela has witnessed the remarkable evolution of the search engine landscape. In those early days, platforms like Yahoo, AOL, AltaVista, HotBot, and Excite and others dominated the web, and Google had yet to emerge as a global powerhouse. Search engine algorithms were relatively simple compared to today’s standards, but even then, it took insight and expertise to understand what these platforms valued—something that Chris Genge, the company founder, had mastered.

Angela began her career creating and optimizing web pages, but as Google’s and other search engines algorithms gained prominence and complexity, her main focus shifted. She discovered a passion for analyzing websites, identifying issues that impacted indexing and rankings, creating an audit of key areas needing work and then devising solutions to improve performance. Her ability to adapt to the ever-changing demands of search engines has made her a trusted advisor to clients.

When I’m Away From My Desk

Angela considers her greatest professional achievement to be working alongside some of the industry’s most talented and inspiring individuals. Beyond that, she takes immense pride in helping clients around the world achieve success. From diagnosing and resolving indexing and ranking issues to seeing measurable improvements in their website performance, Angela finds fulfillment in earning and maintaining their trust. As search engines continue to evolve, she remains committed to uncovering opportunities for improvement and growth for every site she works on.

When I’m Away From My Desk

Family is at the heart of Angela’s life. She is a proud mother to three daughters and a doting grandmother to eight grandchildren. After work, her days are filled with helping her elderly mother, who now lives with her and her husband, and visiting her father at a care facility for dementia patients. When time allows, Angela loves tending to her garden, taking power walks, hitting the gym, and travelling with her husband, Glen. With work and these activities and her deep connections to loved ones bring balance and joy to her life.

What I’ve Been Writing About

Quickfire Questions, Honest Answers

Back in 1998, the internet was still relatively new, and businesses were just starting to see its potential. I stumbled upon an ad from Chris about SEO, and I was instantly intrigued—how do you get a website to rank in those coveted top positions? The challenge of optimizing websites for search engines and seeing real, tangible results hooked me, and that curiosity turned into a lifelong passion.

I’ve been in the industry since 1998, so I’ve had the chance to watch it evolve in some pretty incredible ways—everything from the days of keyword stuffing to today’s advanced algorithms that prioritize user experience and quality content. What I love most is the problem-solving aspect. Analyzing a website, finding areas to improve, and then seeing those changes lead to better rankings, more traffic, and happy clients—it never gets old!

I truly appreciate the team here. Chris (and now Keiran) has built an amazing group of professionals who genuinely support each other and collaborate so well. Everyone is committed to providing exceptional service and helping our clients succeed. The positive and knowledgeable environment makes every project feel rewarding.

Without a doubt, AI is the most exciting trend. From AI-driven content creation to advanced predictive analytics and automation, it’s transforming how we optimize websites, analyze data, and improve user experience. The ability to personalize search results and automate repetitive tasks is opening up all kinds of new possibilities for SEO.

I think we’ll see even more growth in AI and machine learning. Search engines will get even better at understanding user intent and context, which means that high-quality, authoritative content will be more important than ever. We’ll also see a rise in voice search, visual search, and hyper-personalized experiences. Plus, with Google focusing more on user experience (Core Web Vitals, E-E-A-T), businesses will need to focus on technical SEO, fast-loading websites, and building trust to stay competitive.
