Digital Marketing | Japanese Speaker

I've been working with Joe for almost two years. In those two years, I've seen how great he is at SEO. This guy is a real definition of an SEO Wizard.

We built our website from scratch (bramblefurniture.com) and Joe played an important role in defining the structure and getting our website to be always on the first page for our targeted keywords.

Honestly, in my course of work both in Japan and Indonesia, I can tell that he's one of the best SEO experts I ever met in Indonesia. By the best, I'm not exagerating. He's been invited to a lot of SEO seminars and workshops as one of the speakers. One that is worth to mention is SEOCon 2020.

One of the traits that I really like about him is his eagerness to always learn something new. He's well informed about what's happening out there, and therefore, he can catch up with the latest development in his forte. It's been a pleasure to have him on the team.

I will call Joe as an SEO evangelist. His expertise helped a lot along the major SEO projects and milestones at BLANJA.com. The result was spectacular, the site got 300% spike in organic traffic (source: analytic). This is also noted as one of biggest company wide achievement of the year 2018.

In personal, he is also a good leader and persistent person. He would open communication and maintain relationship very well with various stakeholders for the company success.

I hugely enjoyed working with him and look forward to collaborate again, to solve big problems, find solution, and celebrate the achievement.

Literally, the best SEO practitioner that I've ever known and worked with. Moreover, not only Joe's terrific at what he does but he's also a great colleague. Personally, he's brought a great impact to my understanding of SEO. I mean, without his guidance, I wouldn't get the knowledge as much as I have right now. To me, he's a guru.

The interesting thing about Joe, he might seem nonchalant at times. But it is actually the opposite. He would notice every tiny detail that could be solved and improved. Also, his creative ideas often make some successful plays to the team effort. But the most valuable trait of him is passion. He only does 100%, and let the results speak for itself. Working with him by far, it has always been translated as "action speaks louder than words" kind of experience. It is not an exaggeration for me to dub Joe as an SEO professional nonpareil.
