Join Andrew Lees, Clint McPherson, and their guest John Vuong as he speaks about SEO and what it does in growing a brand. Before John started out with SEO, he knew nothing of the field and was always in Sales. But because he loves organic approaches and believes anyone can do paid ads, John figured out where the abundance of searches is coming from. In this episode, he further explains who benefits from SEO and how brands can get the best out of it. As an entrepreneur, the reason behind starting a business should complement what one wants in life for John. Otherwise, he believes, it’s going to be a question of how long one could endure before giving up.

In this episode you will learn:

• From directories to search engines.
• People are ready to consume when they’re on search engines.
• SEO is for who?
• How to attract traffic with SEO?
• The challenge of an SEO business.
•  …and so much more.

John’s entrepreneurial spirit and experience working with more than 5,000 local business owners inspired him to start his own company, Local SEO Search, in 2013. A graduate of the University of Western Ontario, John earned his Bachelor of Administrative and Commercial Studies (ACS) in 2003. His career began at Yellow Pages Group, where he was among the top 2% of sales representatives across Canada.
