More than just its president and founder, Steve Phillips is Purple Trout’s driving SEO force. For the last six years, his dedication to producing higher search engine rankings for every one of his clients has paid off in spades – with company revenues up every year.
Former corporate trainer, 12-year sports journalist, current SEO expert, Steve focuses on educating all clients on the art and science of achieving high rankings on the Internet’s highest traffic search engines. And it doesn’t stop there – no
“one-and-done” successes. Neither Steve nor his team settle when clients are ranked number 50 or number 10. “There’s always room for improvement.” And that’s straight from the big fish himself.
Interests: gadgets, fishing, media, pens, books, sarcasm.
