Less is more

The future of successful websites won’t be defined by size but by precision. The websites that thrive will be those that carefully choose their battles, excelling in a few key areas rather than attempting to dominate an infinite digital landscape.

What do people say about me?

Jono is not “just” one of the world’s best SEOs, he’s one of the world’s best digital marketers. He has a profound understanding of the needs of consumers, organizations and – and this is what makes him truly unique – the tech behind the web.

Founder, Yoast SEO

Jono is clearly an expert in his field especially when handling sites at scale and complexity such as ours. While uncovering a few site hygiene and content quality issues, he was always available to advise our engineering teams with ease and felt like part of the team.

Jono is incredibly smart, but he is also one of the best communicators that I have ever met. He’s able to distil complex, technical concepts into something that anyone could understand. He sees marketing strategies in all of their nuances and can think 5 steps ahead, to know all that needs to be planned for, downstream.

Quite simply, Jono is the maestro of technical SEO. He is the person I turn to first for an expert opinion because of his deep understanding of how to translate the needs of brands into relevant actions.

Jono is undoubtedly one of the best – if not THE best – technical SEOs I’ve encountered and had the pleasure of working with in my career. Jono knows technical SEO – particularly issues related to structured data, WordPress, CloudFlare, and website performance – inside and out. He comes up with creative solutions for solving complex SEO problems and is always a pleasure to work with. He is reliable, trustworthy, and an incredible asset to the SEO industry.
