About Blake Smith
Hello! My name is Blake Smith.
I’m an Australian SEO consultant and a digital marketing lifer. I built my first website in 2007 and have specialised in SEO for more than a decade.
A Digital Marketing Lifer
I’m a dad of 3 awesome boys, I have a degree in Marketing from the Iowa Wesleyan University (where I was also a member of the Men’s basketball team) and I am a digital marketing lifer since I built my first website in 2007.
Since 2012 I’ve been working in marketing in some capacity at some awesome companies. It didn’t take long for me to gravitate towards SEO.
This site was created back in 2015 to test some of my SEO hypotheses.
Over the years, it has evolved into a place for me to share my thoughts. Due to the number of people contacting me about SEO consulting (and more recently AI SEO & ChatGPT optimisation), it eventually evolved into a channel for people to enquire about my SEO services.
