Michelle Lowery is an independent SEO content editor, writer and strategist. In this role, I help clients earn customers, traffic and rankings through the creation and management of high-quality content. I have more than 35 years’ experience as a writer and editor, and have worked in content and SEO since 2008.

One of my favorite things to do is find a low-performing page, optimize it, and watch it bounce back in the SERPs to start earning traffic again. I also enjoy building and managing high-performing content teams.

I’ve contributed to publications such as SEJ, Bruce Clay, Buffer and several others. I’ve spoken at Pubcon Austin, SEJ Summit, State of Search, ACES, EFA Con and WordCamp, and have given webinars for Clearscope, Quiet Light Brokerage, and others. I’m also an occasional podcast guest.

Outside of work, I love to read, take day trips around Texas, cook, and create beaded Christmas ornaments. I also attend Star Trek and science fiction conventions whenever possible.

Always open to contract work
