Have you ever wondered how companies get their websites right at the top of a Google Search Engine? Over a decade ago, Damon Burton beat a billion dollar company by outranking their website on Google. Since then, he has gone on to build an international search engine marketing company that has worked with NBA teams, and Inc 5000 & Shark Tank featured businesses. In the decade of running a global team, he’s never met any of his team in person. Burton can speak on how to manage a remote team, as well as how he approaches dedicating time to family and balancing it all. Since founding his company SEO National in 2007, he writes for Forbes, has been featured in publications including Entrepreneur Magazine, BuzzFeed and USA Weekly, and has helped high-profile clients make more in a month than they used to in a year.
