Sarah has been working in search marketing since 2006, when her career in sales brought her into a role selling web development and search services. It wasn’t long before she realised that her sales experience and knowledge of how people behave was far more valuable online than off. Since then she has worked both client and agency side, applying her philosophy that SEO can only be achieved through client education and empowerment. She now works at Bloom Media as SEO Project manager, making sure that everything stays on target & on budget.

Sarah blogs with the boys at LeedsSEO, and with the girls at SEO Chicks, & when all of that is done and she gets a minute to herself she likes to take it really old school and spend some time on her spinning wheel pretending the internet hasn’t been invented yet (or the steam engine for that matter).
