About me

Tim Marston SEO — Me trying to look cool.

This site isn’t about me.

It’s about you, your business, and how I can help you make more money.

However, I understand you need to know why you should trust me.

So, I will explain my SEO background and my approach to ranking websites.

My Background in SEO (It's Not What You Might Expect!)

20 years ago, when traveling around Australia, I became totally obsessed with fire juggling.

I got shown a few tricks by a fire performer and was instantly hooked.

This was the result:

Tim Marston Fire Breathing — (Yes, that is me, and yes, it was hot, smokey, and a bit scary!)

When I came home to the UK, I trained hard until I felt I was good enough to start charging money for my shows, and then I had a website built.

Once the site was live, I had an experience familiar to many business owners.

I realized I had no idea how to get customers actually to visit my amazing new website!

So I started to study SEO. I spent hours each day reading, watching videos, and researching keywords.

I then start applying all this knowledge to my website JugglingInferno.com (that’s me in the photo at the top, flapping my arms around trying to look impressive!)

To cut a long story short, I built a very successful fire and circus performance business using SEO.

I employed a team of freelance fire performers who were doing gigs for me all across the UK and even internationally.

Then when I had had enough of being on the road doing gigs every weekend, I sold the fire business for a nice little sum and moved into full-time SEO.

Since hanging up my fire juggling staff, I have worked full time in search engine optimization.

How does this story affect you?

I know what it feels like to be a business owner who needs more customers.

I understand that digital marketing can seem daunting, confusing, or too technical for some clients.

Most importantly, I understand that SEO is a means to an end.

That the ultimate goal is an increase in revenue for the lowest investment possible.

My Approach to You and Your Business

If we work together, my approach will be to deliver:

Search Engine Optimization that is safe for the long term.
Targeting of the most profitable words and phrases.
Applying high-quality technical SEO to maximize the return on your investment.
To give you a no-nonsense, cost effective, long-term strategy for success.
