About
Who is Pablo Villalpando?
- I focus on Technical and Content SEO
- I’ve been in the industry for 9 years. Hello Penguin 3.0 đ§ đ
- I love helping small businesses grow, create jobs, and improve their local communities. Outside of work, I enjoy live music.
Pablo Villalpando is an award-winning SEO Manager at Generation Tux. In this role, I lead technical website optimization and content marketing efforts to hit aggressive revenue goals through SEO. As a highly collaborative role, I partner with other digital marketers, a product manager, designers, developers, and engineers to ensure our SEO roadmap is executed on and aligned with company objectives.
I’ve been in the industry for 9 years. After 6+ years in the agency world, I am fortunate to have developed a well-rounded background on technical, content, and off-site SEO. I’ve had the privilege of owning SEO Strategy for hundreds of companies, from local family businesses in Maine to international brands like Meta, HP, and my personal favorite Dungeons & Dragons.
At work, I love cross-team collaboration, breaking down silos, and sharing success stories. It gets people pumped and excited for more! Outside of work, I enjoy volunteering with non-profits, astronomy, live music, and video games. Catch me at the Texas Solar Eclipse Festival this April!
