Building world-class Search Engine Optimization expertise

We’ve just returned from the Search Engine Strategies Conference in San Jose.

This was maybe the best SES I can recall attending. It’s our first time to exhibit in San Jose. We are regulars at the Chicago SES. We’ve had a booth there for several years.

ClevelandSEO was extremely well represented. People that were there included: Paul Elliot (and several other cool Emergent/Brulant folks), Chris Caputo, Matt Bailey, The Karcher Group, Dave Goebel, Steve Lamb from IdeaStar, Jeff Rohrs and yours truly. Did I miss anyone?

Paul Elliot and Jeff Rohrs spoke throughout the week. Matt Bailey and I taught a training class at the end of the week:

Training Classes: Search Engine Strategies San Jose

My class was fairly technical. But being that I am an English/Music major, I think I bring a real personal touch to the tech world People seemed to enjoy it. There will be evaluations coming out soon, so we’ll know for sure. I sat in on Matt’s class dealing with analytics. He has a great perspective on this topic. He is becoming (if not already is) the leading voice in this area.

Paul Elliot continues to hire extensively. This makes the Cleveland search community even stronger than it already is.

If you have never attended a Search Engine Strategies, I can’t recommend it enough. It’s the center of the universe for the best minds in search for that given week.

If you ever wonder how powerful the Northern Ohio search engine marketing community is, you just need to go to a show in San Jose, Chicago or New York and see how well Cleveland is represented as the leading minds in the industry. We are extremely fortunate to have the people we have here. I’m incredibly proud to be a part of the overall community.

Nice work everybody!
