About

Kola here. I’m an SEO specialist with over two years of hands-on experience, passionate about helping businesses of various sizes optimize their site, improve search ranking, and gain profitable traction.

With an engineering background and core skills in Technical SEO, On-Page SEO, and Local SEO, I’m well-equipped with the skill set and mindset to craft and execute a befitting SEO strategy for your business. I’m curious-minded and a lifelong learner with relevant SEO and marketing certifications from Google, Semrush, and BlueArray SEO.

Currently, I’m based in Abuja, Nigeria but I work with clients around the world. When I’m not handling clients’ projects and taking courses to update my SEO knowledge, I lead the team at Explore Abuja — a digital media publication where we curate guides on all things Abuja for locals and tourists to have a remarkable experience in Nigeria’s capital city. In my free time, I love watching football games, hanging out with friends, watching viral TikToks, and bingeing the latest Netflix specials.

My favourite quote is ‘Be the change you want to see in the world.’ You can connect with me on LinkedIn.
