James Welch

Executive Director @ Making You Content

About

I'm James, a digital marketing veteran since 2000, building successful strategies that elevate your websites into true industry leaders when it comes to search. I've had amazing success with companies from many sectors. From turning one-man business into industry leaders, to turning offline industry giants into companies that dominate online for thousands of search terms. I'm able to help any member of the C-suite to understand what is needed to be successful in their industry - and to get them there, too. My aim is to support those people that have experienced mediocre, or average experiences with SEO agencies. I like to show people that strategies are always more simple than you think - but that hard work is still required. Send me a DM if you would like some help.
