Experience you can explore
The person behind your search strategy
Stephen’s background spans more than two decades in digital marketing, including time on the Google Search team. Today, his focus is helping business owners improve how their company appears in local search, on Google Maps, and across AI search experiences.
At HuskyTail, he combines consulting with implementation: reviewing your website and business profile, identifying priorities, carrying out SEO work, and explaining progress. Your business goals guide the work, from the services you want to grow to the locations you serve.
Previous experience at Google is part of his background. HuskyTail is an independent consultancy; that experience does not provide special access to rankings or control over search results.
