Century Communities - SEO Strategy

SEO Manager, Century Communities

As the SEO Manager at Century Communities, I spearheaded comprehensive, data-driven SEO strategies and upgraded our organic growth strategy as a one-person marketing team. I owned partnerships with three third-party vendors, ensuring alignment with our objectives and delivering measurable results.


How To Register Your New Home Address



#1 Ranked Blog and Digital PR  Campaign. Top traffic driver as a simple solution to a common new homeowner problem. 

What Is the New Home Construction Process Timeline?


Collab with our internal Design team to boost our image rankings with a slick infographic. 

Backlink Strategy: What Interest Rate Will Make Homebuyers Take The Plunge?

We deployed a Digital PR campaign using primary survey data that attracted local news stations and top finance blogs. 


Omni Local Pack Ranking

Optimized local listings and deployed a crafty review acquisition strategy for Local Pack Rankings. 




Technical SEO

Breadcrumbs and internal linking creatively led to over mass page indexation. 

AI Overview Optimization

Dominated AI overview rankings by keeping up with current trends and baking them into our current business practices. 

Fyllo - B2B Tech Copywriting

What's the best way to establish yourself as a thought leader in highly regulated tech industries like medical cannabis, crypto, micromobility or short-term rentals? Conduct your own unique research, draw meaningful conclusions and share that newfound knowledge with your readers through blogs, playbooks, one-sheets and whitepapers.

 That's exactly what we did at Fyllo using our Regulatory Database built for aggregating the latest news in cannabis regulations. Creating content using our own in-house data and information helped our prospects understand how our products can grow their business.

ONA.Life - SEO & Copy

As one of many cannabis delivery services in San Francisco's "no dispensary zone," ONA needed a smarter way to build incremental sales with new customers. 

To stand out, we created a "Top Brands" page that featured products for our highest-selling partners to receive backlinks. 

Results: 13% increase in CTR, 146.3% increase in web clicks and wonderfully-sourced backlinks from our high-authority web partners. Check out the Top Brands page and more high-performing content below. 

BLAZE SaaS - SEO & Copywriting

There was a time when one of the top cannabis POS providers felt the market was becoming oversaturated. With other cannabis POS systems out there,  BLAZE couldn't be another innovative startup getting lost in the crowd. 

To win more site traffic, I helped BLAZE create content geared specifically toward prospective cannabis business owners. By writing how-to guides and B2B blog content, we helped the people using our software the most perform their jobs at the highest level.  

Archery Games Denver is an action-packed, family-friendly outing that combines the likes of dodgeball, tag and archery. While the kids love it, kids pay no bills. How do we broaden our audience to ensure a consistent flow of business?

Rather than take something for kids and make it feel more adult, how about we make adults feel like kids?  This content strategy focused on keywords that were more likely to get the attention of adults ages 18 - 34, such as "bachelor/bachelorette parties" and "team-building activities."

Turns out adults loved tapping into their inner arrow-slinging child. As a result of owning the above keywords, Archery Games Denver balances preteen adrenaline in the daytime with pregame shenanigans in the evening.  Click here to read more!
