Global brands

Selected brands, websites and products I’ve worked with

This list represents different types of professional relationships across my career, including employment, consulting, SEO delivery, digital product work and brands or websites I worked directly on.

Australian businesses

Hundreds of businesses, not only household names

Australian ecommerce, services, hospitality and local search

A major part of my career has also involved helping smaller and mid-sized businesses compete in Google. That work matters because it keeps SEO grounded in real commercial outcomes, not just enterprise process.

International hospitality & regional businesses

I’ve also worked with hospitality and local businesses outside Australia, including brands where local visibility, commercial intent and direct bookings matter more than enterprise scale.

How I work

I’m comfortable moving between code-level problems and commercial questions

Technical diagnosis

Crawling, indexation, rendering, JavaScript, canonicals, internal linking, schema and architecture.

Product thinking

Prioritisation, roadmaps, engineering requirements, QA and cross-functional delivery.

Commercial search

Keyword opportunity, acquisition, conversion, market expansion and the economics behind organic traffic.
