SEO Copywriting

I have been in love with advertising since I was six years old. I remember watching Saturday morning cartoons and seeing the Frito Bandito on the screen (that ought to "date" me). I looked up at my mom and exclaimed, "I want to do THAT!"

It was fascinating to me that the way words were used, the way particular images were shown or where a logo was placed in an ad would decrease or improve its performance. The whole advertising process was exciting and I literally fell in love with it!

Since that time I have spent my business life in pursuit of advertising as a whole. I obtained my college degree in Marketing. Every job I have held in the corporate world - from newspapers to radio stations to ad agencies - has allowed me to learn more and more about the process of advertising copywriting.

A few years ago, I began to study the Myers-Briggs outline of behaviors and eventually graduated from a DISC Behavioral Model course. Once again… the ways in which people respond to various words, actions, colors or attitudes had me in awe. As I began to incorporate those new bits of knowledge into my copywriting, I found it was working better and better.

In addition to this, I added search engine copywriting in 2001 as my specialty. I find it fun, facinating and a challenge to write copy that appeals to both the site visitor and the search engines. I also love the thrill of combining keyphrases with copy strategies for an outcome that helps pages rank higher and sell better.
