Board of Advisors

Member of Board of Advisors
Peter Martin’s decision to invite Greg to join the BOA for Testimonial Builder is best explained with his following comment. “Greg is undoubtedly the number one SEO guy in the auto industry and probably one of the best in any field. Having him on our board and involved in helping us continually improve our product is a huge win for the company and more importantly our clients who will ultimately benefit from his expertise.”

He’s got over 16 years of online marketing and web design experience, and he speaks internationally at both automotive and SEO conferences, teaching thousands of small business owners and marketers how to get their sites to show up higher in local search rankings.
Greg also spends his time doing freelance website design and SEO for local businesses. He graduated from Southern Methodist University with a BA in Cinema and Communications, and has an obscure movie quote for just about any situation.
Greg accepted the invitation to join the BOA of TB based on his following observations. “Video has a huge impact on SEO and when I saw how easy Testimonial Builder made it to create and publish content I knew it was a winner and I wanted to be a part of it.”
Greg has a very comprehensive background and reputation in the digital world. He provided the following examples of relevant experience to evidence his ability to contribute to the BOA:
- I was the mascot for SMU in the early 90s
- I’ve been in the automotive industry since 2007 (started as the Flash designer for AutoRevo)
- I had my own website design company from 2003-2007

This year, I did Brighton SEO (UK’s biggest search marketing conference) twice, and am doing SearchCamp in December (also in the UK)
Next year, I’ll be doing Brighton SEO again (twice), I’m scheduled to keynote SMX Munich in the spring (Europe’s biggest search marketing conference), and I’m speaking at a conference in Dublin next November.
