About me
Hi! I’m Mike Gil,
a freelance SEO specialist based in the Philippines, helping businesses grow through search.
With over 5 years of hands-on SEO experience, I’ve worked on websites across various industries—fixing technical issues, improving rankings, and developing strategies that drive consistent organic traffic.
My background in web development gives me an edge. I don’t just look at SEO from a content perspective—I understand how websites function behind the scenes, which allows me to identify and fix issues that most people miss.
I focus on SEO that actually drives business results. Not vanity metrics. Not shortcuts. Just strategies that work and hold up over time.
My Approach to SEO
Most SEO campaigns fail because they focus on the wrong things—either chasing rankings without strategy or relying on outdated tactics.
Here’s how I approach it:
- Fix technical issues that affect crawling, indexing, and performance
- Align content with real search intent—not just keywords
- Optimize pages to improve both rankings and conversions
- Build topical authority that strengthens long-term visibility
SEO isn’t just about traffic—it’s about getting the right traffic and turning it into growth.
