Kevin Donnelly founded XP Web Services before most people had even heard of SEO (or Google, for that matter). Since then he’s helped businesses of all shapes and sizes (from the cruise ship industry to online jewellers, photographers to furniture stores) find more customers by helping them climb the Google rankings.
Mike Brown is a copywriter and founder of Word Forge. His words help organisations make more of an impact online and in print. He writes for aerospace, health, oil and gas, financial services and construction in the UK and internationally. His work has been used at the United Nations. He’s quite proud of that.
