Dear Sir/Madam
I am currently working on my own portfolio of websites and YouTube videos, after a difficult decision I made to close down my SEO Company, where I currently enjoy honing my skills in developing effective search engine optimization campaigns based on thorough research, analysis and creative-problem solving. I now feel ready for the next challenge in my seo career as an SEO Specialist at your company
My strengths lie in the ability to find solutions and think outside the box, communicate my skills effectively, adhere to strict deadlines and juggle multiple projects by prioritizing. I have great attention to detail and accuracy when gathering data, conducting analysis and preparing reports.
When it comes to SEO, I employ a multi-prolonged approach that involves methods including competitor analysis, keyword research, content creation and link building.
These strategies have enabled me to develop effective SEO campaigns for local businesses, niche sites, affiliate websites and youtube videos to boost organic traffic by improving search engine ranking to increase revenue through ad placements as a result.
I possess the confidence required to give regular presentations in boardroom settings. I am comfortable conveying technical information to clients in a simple and informative manner and I work well with others in an office environment.
Importantly, I keep myself up-to date with the fast moving SEO landscape, particularly technological and search engine trends, the changing algorithms and ranking factors. I understand the importance of always staying one step ahead in this dynamic and ever – changing field.
You will find my resume attached and I look forward to discussing the position of Digital Marketing Manager at your company with you further.
Yours Sincerely
Silas T. Nkoana
