Signals are the story we tellabout our brand
As the founder of Offpage, I've been involved in digital signals since 2007 and have helped thousands of businesses improve, protect and grow their signal profiles.
My Philosophy
"Signals are the story we tell search engines, AI systems, and the world about who we are, what we do and why we should be valued. Links, mentions, citations, and data points form the comprehensive narrative that determines how we are discovered, understood, and recommended in an increasingly AI-driven digital landscape."
My Story
I was a high volume link builder prior to 2012 with a large offshore operation, then through the advent of Penguin and Google's changing opinion on links as a signal I founded Kerboo. Kerboo was one of the world's leading link analysis platforms, winner of two UK Search Awards for Best SEO Software.
Since 2020 I relaunched the signal analysis offering as Opphive.com and founded Offpage.co.uk to help businesses take a more intelligent, measured and effective stance on how they build the complete signal profile that modern search and AI systems use to understand and rank brands.
We get involved in all aspects of signals and authority building - links, mentions, citations, data presence - at every level and for clients of all sizes and industries.
