About Clayton Alan Curtis

After graduating from the University of Vermont in 2007 with a dual major in English Literature and T.V. & Film I\'ve held several positions in digital media. My first position was with a startup called TrainerTV where I become proficient in digital video (shooting, editing, optimizing, and publishing). I also started learning HTML & CSS and was able to build several websites that we used to host the videos. Upon the dissolution of TrainerTV I accepted a position as the Digital Marketing Coordinator for the luxury home exchange site 3rdHome. My primary responsibilities included SEO, email marketing, and WordPress development. After 3rdHome moved their headquarters to Nashville I decided to stay in Atlanta and shift my focus entirely to SEO. I had a solid understanding of how websites worked from a technical perspective and was successful in getting 3rdHome to rank for highly competitive keywords in Google. I then began working for an insurance agent in Alpharetta, GA where I ran nine lead-generation sites. As well as getting us to rank organically for highly competitive insurance keywords I also performed general maintenance on each site. I was instrumental in refining our lead generation process and helped move the company to SalesForce.After a brief stint consulting for the launch of ProtectYourBubble.com I accepted a full time position as the Senior SEO Strategist for industry-leading eCommerce site Instawares. I sat in the IT department and implemented advanced SEO strategies including but not limited to; canonicalization, A/B testing, baseline metrics, block-level analysis, client-side tracking, GEO targeting, mod rewrites, and search funnel creation. I was able to improve site architecture and improve rankings for over 30 key phrases.
