Leica Nelson
Search Engine Strategist
Leica has held a very keen interest in search engine optimization and online marketing from the moment she knew what a search engine was. She’s achieved and held over 1,000 top 5 rankings in Google alone for numerous competitive keyword phrases. As Kootenay Web Weaver, she’s had the pleasure of working with close to 100 clients in web development and has assisted all of them in ensuring they receive sites that are, at the very least, search engine friendly. From the first website she developed nine years ago, Leica refused to build any without the basics of SEO already in place, a standard she’s not willing to sacrifice. It’s very unlikely anything in her future will hold her attention quite like her love affair with SEO. |
