What I’ve Been Writing About

Quickfire Questions, Honest Answers

The founder of 1st on the List, Chris Genge, was a major inspiration. I’ve always had a strong interest in business and marketing, and Chris encouraged me to dive deeper into understanding how SEO can be a powerful driver for growth—not just for the businesses we help, but for my own ventures as well.

I’ve been in the industry for about eight years now. What I enjoy most is seeing the tangible results we achieve for our clients. Hearing their stories, understanding their goals, and helping their businesses grow is incredibly rewarding—especially when I get a call or email six months later saying, “We’re getting so many more leads now!” That’s what makes the work worthwhile.

Running my own businesses has given me a unique perspective—I know what it’s like to be on the other side, investing in marketing and expecting real returns. That’s why I approach every project with a results-driven mindset, focusing on strategies that actually help a business grow, not just look good on paper.

I blend technical expertise with a business-first mindset. A lot of SEO and web design professionals focus purely on rankings or aesthetics—I care just as much about how those efforts translate into leads, sales, and long-term growth. I also like to keep things practical and no-nonsense, so my clients always know exactly what’s working and why.

A lot of businesses think a website is just a digital brochure, but it should be a powerful sales and lead-generation tool. The same goes for SEO—ranking high in search results is great, but if your website isn’t built to convert visitors into customers, you’re leaving money on the table.

Don’t chase quick wins—focus on long-term, sustainable growth. A solid website, well-researched SEO strategy, and ongoing optimization will always outperform shortcuts and gimmicks. The businesses that invest in quality marketing now will be the ones still thriving years down the road.
