Joie Balestrino

Joe is an experienced freelance SEO consultant with over two decades of expertise. His journey began in the mid-nineties when he taught himself web design. However, he soon realized that a well-designed website alone does not guarantee increased traffic. This realization motivated Joe to become a pioneer and innovator in the field of Search Engine Optimization.

In 2004, Joe founded Mr-SEO, establishing himself as a prominent figure and acknowledged authority within the SEO community. After successfully leading and growing Mr-SEO, Joe decided to sell the company in 2008 to explore new opportunities in marketing.

Subsequently, Joe assumed the role of head of SEO at ALM Media, where he developed marketing strategies for more than 30 websites. These websites encompassed various domains such as news, e-commerce, e-learning, and directories. Following a fruitful tenure of nearly five years at ALM, Joe transitioned to a senior position at Yodle. In this capacity, he spearheaded the SEO strategies for prominent franchise clients, including Miracle-ear, Maaco, Two Men And A Truck, Merry Maids, Deca Dental, Hand & Stone, and other well-known brands.
