Content marketer / Ecommerce / Technical SEO specialist
I have a degree in Marketing and Brand Management from NHH Norwegian School of Economics in Bergen.
In 2014 I entered the world of search engine optimization as a content writer for an agency, which gave me the opportunity to improve my writing skills in different niches.
In the process, I slowly gained interest in on-page and technical SEO.
To maximize their online visibility, I helped these companies develop content strategies, perform competitor analysis and audits, and launch successful PR campaigns.
Besides content marketing, I conducted technical audits, worked on website speed optimization, performance testing, and analyzed traffic drops that occurred.
As my career grew steadily,
I explored a whole new area –
Ecommerce SEO.
I learned to work with several platforms, including Shopify, Magento, and BigCommerce.
I helped e-commerce companies improve their visibility in a very saturated market by performing e-commerce-focused keyword research, optimizing website content and faceted navigation, and improving information architecture.
In 2021, I put my experience and hours of research into creating content that could benefit those on a similar career path.
I strive to make this content interesting and easy to read, even for someone diving into the big world of SEO.
SEO and marketing is about following rules and trends and staying current. I like to share my personal experiences and keep up to date with changes in the field.
My experience working with teams, understanding project requirements, and reporting to executives and managers has also taught me how to communicate clearly with professionals from different backgrounds.
