Emil Sandström

Hi, I'm Emil - A senior SEO with a decade of diverse SEO experience.

I learned how to capture search intent, match it to SEO-optimized content, and find creative ways to get links. I also have a thing for the technical aspects of SEO, where rendering, crawlability, and indexing are three key issues.

I'm still fun at parties, I promise.

I'm not just a results-driven SEO professional but also a celebrator of success (confetti optional, but highly encouraged!). My passion for achieving top rankings translates into tangible results, as you'll see in the following examples:

Affiliate Launches: Skyrocketed new sites to over 2,000 daily organic visitors in under eight months, achieving remarkable profitability.

Local SEO Victories: Elevated established brands from obscurity (#15) to prominence (#1) for competitive keywords in weeks.

Dominating High Competition Niches: Boosted visibility for prime keywords in fiercely competitive markets like sports betting and payday loans, trusted by industry leaders.

E-commerce Mastery: Achieved top Google rankings for hundreds of product pages, directly impacting sales.

My forward-thinking nature and endless curiosity fuel my pursuit of innovative SEO strategies, especially those leveraging AI, to enhance web positioning significantly. 

I have many hobbies - Something that I think are essential for work-life balance and high performace - Here are my favorites in descending order: Latin dance, hiking, martial arts, climbing, gym & workout, travel, food & wine.

I am from the north of Sweden - The coastal city of Umeå. I grew up close to nature, and I still love that. But even more so, I'm in love with the city vibe, people, and community of beautiful and vibrant Barcelona; that is where I live now.  A perfect day for me consists of focused work, a little less than an hour at the gym, social dining with friends, and taking or teaching a dance class.

I hope you enjoyed learning a little about me and that there are more pleasant surprises to discover if we schedule a personal and professional meeting. I look forward to hearing back from you soon!

Best regards,

Emil Sandström
