My story
From team lead to independent
I started as a Top Rated freelancer on Upwork in 2017, running SEO audits and custom strategies for clients across industries. That led to a role as SEO Manager at JP Marketing USA in Dallas, where I coordinated a 20+ person team of webmasters, content managers, and a copywriter, helping grow one client’s web presence by 40% and lifting sign-up conversions from 16% to 29%.
From there I joined ProDev Consults PH as part of a 50+ person SEO team, contributing to a 30% increase in organic search traffic across client sites. Now, as Toufiq SEO, I bring that same agency-level rigor directly to clients, without the overhead or the rotating account managers.

My SEO Philosophy
I did not start out planning to specialize in SEO. I started as a freelancer taking on whatever digital marketing work paid the bills, and SEO was the discipline that stuck, because it rewarded the part of my thinking I enjoyed most: diagnosing why something was not working, then fixing the root cause instead of the symptom.
Managing a 20-person team at JP Marketing USA and later working within a 50-person team at ProDev Consults PH taught me two things that shape how I run my own practice today. The first is that SEO fails most often at the handoff, when a strategist recommends something and a different person is responsible for implementing it without full context. The second is that clients rarely leave because results were slow, they leave because nobody explained clearly what was happening and why.
Every engagement starts with a conversation, not a sales pitch. I want to understand what has already been tried, what a good outcome actually looks like for your business, and what constraints I need to work within. From there I run a full audit and come back with a plan that is specific to your situation rather than a repackaged template.
Once an engagement starts, you get a monthly report that connects the work directly to outcomes, and you get direct access to me for questions in between, not a support ticket queue.
