About SEO Consultant Jake Braught
I’m based in Oregon where I live with my partner and two dachshunds. We enjoy gardening, hiking, camping, and swims in surrounding lakes and rivers.
I’ve been an SEO professional for over 11 years and have been fortunate enough to work work with companies of all sizes and stages from new small businesses to heritage brands and large enterprise corporations.
My favorite thing about search is that it is the most useful form of marketing—your customers are looking for your products and services in Google and increasingly asking AI chatbots for recommendations.
When your customers are searching, your brand needs to be visible and the sentiment about your brand must be positive to avoid losing people. We’ll work together to help you show up over your competitors.
