KEY TAKEAWAYS:
- If you are buying a link you need to make sure the quality of the links that you are buying is reasonable and not a scam.
- Put the keyword in the first paragraph, the last paragraph and at least 1 heading on the page. Any more than that for keyword usage could get your page flagged.
- SEO has to be used all the time and it’s got to be used within every blog post you write. If you don’t have the skills, you’re going to have to hire someone to at least consult with you and teach you how to do it or to do it, do it for you.
BIO:
I’ve never believed that quality should be expensive; which is why I started TwoFeetMarketing. My adventure started at University. After studying BA Management and Mathematics, I took an MSc in Management where I specialized in Marketing and Human Resources.
During my early career, I worked in recruitment and human resources and ran a CV writing company, Avid CVs. I’ve also spent time learning to be a professional digital marketer. Early in my marketing career, I advised people how to market themselves online after setting up my own author blog.
In July 2013, I took the skills I had learned and began offering online marketing services to businesses. I kept to my original beliefs – quality does not have to be expensive, and continually offered great services at affordable prices.
I have a mixture of clients from solopreneurs to large organizations. I expand brand awareness while increasing website visits, generating leads and sales. My SEO skills are good. Companies that have used my SEO skills have seen their rank skyrocket, and even small businesses have found themselves competing with, and in many cases ranking higher than big industry leaders.
In 2017, I was a finalist for the best business blog award in the Essex Digital Awards.
I’m a dedicated father to three great children and husband. In my spare time, I look after my collection of animals including Geckos, Bearded Dragon, Kenyan Sand Boa, rabbits, guinea pigs and chickens. I can also be found walking around the fields several times a day with my dalmatian dog, April.
Feel free to reach out to me and connect. I would love to hear from you.
David Lowbridge. Copywriter, SEO Consultant, Digital Marketer.
