About

TL;DR I help you multiply your organic traffic, handle complex website migrations and mergers, and convert more of your visitors into customers. 🔍 SEO for eComm businesses ↗️ Site migrations/merges 🎤 Event talks Hi, I’m Jonathan. I own SwishDM, a global eCommerce SEO agency working with mid and enterprise-level brands to boost visibility and conversion rates through smarter SEO. Running an eComm business is no mean feat. I know, because I’ve been in your shoes. As well as having over a decade of experience in SEO, I built and (in 2022) sold my own eCommerce store, SEOButler.com. Now, my team helps businesses like yours to make more money out of the internet. We especially love working with brands and business owners who have… 🟠 complex issues 🔵 ambitious KPIs 🟠 high standards for success You are our people. We’ll improve your website performance, and we’ve got the case studies to prove it. You can find them on our website and in my featured posts section. Or just pop me an email and I’ll tell you all about it. john@swishdm.com I value radical transparency above all else, which is why we show you what we’re doing every step of the way. I share some of our methods here on LinkedIn, along with tips on how to boost your own site’s performance. One of the reasons I set up SwishDM is because I got tired of seeing other agencies upsell their clients with services they don’t need. We never sell templated, out-of-the-box SEO services or overinflate the brief. We only advise you on what you ACTUALLY need. And because our team works remotely across five time zones, we can be truly agile. I’m also an event speaker, and I’m one of only a handful of people to have spoken twice at Chiang Mai SEO. So, if you need a knowledgeable speaker who’s been there, done that (and helped people sell the t-shirt via SEO 😉) get in touch.

Founder

SEOButler.com

2014-11 - 2022-10 · 8 yrs

Brighton, United Kingdom

I founded SEOButler, originally called PBNButler, in 2014. I saw a need for a competent, dependable service provider for marketers and SEOs. We sold various services and adapted our product offering as the industry's needs changed. Notable services we sold were content, social signals, press releases, guest posts, etc. Over eight years, I established a household brand in the SEO space that catapulted my career into SEO. SEOButler was set apart thanks to its quality assurance processes, dynamite customer service, and 100% money-back guarantee. I sold SEOButler in 2022 and began to devote my time solely to other business ventures, primarily my SEO agency. Key Accomplishments & Takeaways - Established a reputable household brand - Built a custom software that managed the entire backend and management processes of the website so we could provide the best customer services, awesome products, and manage the entire writing and management team. - Invited to be a speaker at the Chiang Mai SEO Conference in 2017 and 2019

I was headhunted by Human Factors International (HFI) in 2008 to join their sales team. A global leader in CX/UX testing and engineering solutions, I spent those two years immersed in European sales for the brand. One of my best accomplishments while working at HFI was leading the first sales team for the DACH area, culminating in my promotions and takeover of sales for the entire EU market. Other highlights and skills during my time at HFI include: - Managing and building relationships with key players and enterprise clients, such as Bosch and Fujitsu - Bridging the gap between C-suite clients and engineering departments - Strategically crafting deals for clients that satisfied both HFI's benchmarks and client requests
