As an SEO Consultant, speaker, blogger, trainer and adviser on the subject of search engine optimization, Scott Pierson's first goal is to maximize his own web visibility and authority on the core subjects that pertain to Inbound Marketing.

By aligning the content he publishes with his customer’s needs and interests in mind, Scott hopes to attract inbound traffic that he can then nurture, convert, and delight over time. With the help of regular conversations using all available resources, the same resources he recommends to his clients, Scott is determined to grow his firm beyond its current level into a thriving consulting practice with clients lined up at the door.

Using his eight years of experience in CAN SPAM compliant email marketing, search engine marketing (SEM/online advertising), web analytics and link building, Scott is currently undertaking advanced certifications in a wide area of skill-sets. Another short-term goal currently underway is to become certified as an official Google Partner. Scott was recently invited to join this program debut and is eager to receive all of the advanced resources and training that it offers.
