In early 2020 I created a small agency with my wife called Made Ya Click! to allow me to make freelancing during the COVID-19 pandemic easier. During this time I performed SEO services such as content optimization, content briefs, audits, technical improvements (adding schema and improving core web vitals), and consulting. Particular highlights included completing the vendor requirements to work with a Raymond James franchise, and in-depth audit of AECOM covering content, technical, and outreach. In addition to my work in SEO I had to perform business development, sales, and human resources functions including negotiation contracts, hiring contractors and vendors, and sourcing and closing leads. I also designed and developed the agency website in WordPress. In this capacity I joined the Wellington (FL) Chamber of Commerce and eventually became an Ambassador to both support the local community and pursue business development opportunities.
