Neil Cox

Neil Cox |-| - | - SEO | PPC VACANCIES (UK | SA) INTRODUCTION I come from a self employed background in the Health and Fitness industry. My experience in Search Engine Optimisation and Pay Per Click comes from being self taught and assuming the total online marketing responsibility and footprint of the business. This business was in operation in Johannesburg South Africa for a period of 10 years. I ran and managed Google Adwords campaigns for the 1st five years of the business. Due to budget cuts, I spent the second five years building a blog and achieving organic rank for certain search terms. This was from 2008 - 2017. Unfortunately, due to strenuous economic conditions, the business was engineered into foreclosure at the end of 2017. I am now based close to London UK and looking for opportunities in both locations. GOALS FOR PPC / SEO I have never been employed in this capacity before, which means I have never worked on a 3rd party project before. I would like to change that and work with a business / agency that can challenge and develop my skills. Since the beginning of 2018 I have been unemployed and have taken the time constructively to finish my Google Certifications (see below) and to develop an automated online personal training system with full video instruction. I'm looking forward to seeing how handy my SEO skills are to achieve organic rank - top of page 1 for the search term ONLINE PERSONAL TRAINER | https://onlineptcoach.blogspot.com SKILLS GOALS I would like to develop my skills in Word Press, Google Analytics / Tag Manager and Broad spectrum Adwords. The ultimate goal would be to be an experienced AdWords Pro, having enough skill to help any client in any industry working with an agency or freelance.
