About Brian Gorman | SEO Consultant & Digital Strategist

Hi, I'm Brian Gorman

I'm an SEO consultant and digital strategist based in North Carolina. I've had the privilege of working with brands like GEICO, Staples, Adobe, The New York Times, the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, and Phillips & Cohen—solving algorithmic penalties, uncovering unseen technical issues, and building strategies that grow organic traffic and revenue significantly.

My breadth of agency experience is what Dan Smullen calls "the Master's Degree in SEO." I've seen it all, from devastating algorithm updates to miraculous recoveries, and I bring that depth of knowledge to every engagement.

I'm also a former school teacher of 6 years. I leverage my skills in lesson planning and instruction to educate teams and individuals on all things SEO. Whether you need hands-on implementation or want to build internal capabilities, I meet you where you are.

What I bring to the table

A combination of technical skills, strategic thinking, and genuine passion for helping businesses grow.

Deep expertise in site architecture, crawlability, indexation, Core Web Vitals, and structured data. I identify and fix the technical issues holding your site back from reaching its potential.

Fluent in Google Analytics 4, Search Console, and various SEO tools. I translate complex data into actionable insights and clear reporting that stakeholders actually understand.

Training & Education

Proven ability to teach complex SEO concepts to teams at all skill levels. My training programs have helped professionals advance their careers and in-house teams become self-sufficient.

The path that led here

My SEO journey began over a decade ago when I discovered the fascinating intersection of technology, content, and user behavior. What started as curiosity quickly became a passion, I loved the puzzle of understanding what makes content rank and how to help businesses compete online.

Over the years, I've worked across industries from local service businesses to national brands, from healthcare to e-commerce. Each engagement taught me something new and reinforced my belief that great SEO is built on understanding your audience, not gaming algorithms.

Today, I focus on the work I find most rewarding: partnering directly with businesses who value strategic thinking and are ready to invest in sustainable growth. No shortcuts, no black-hat tactics. Just smart, ethical SEO that builds lasting results.

Presence on the Web

Real Clients. Real Results.

Published work, case studies, and industry recognition.

Industry Recognition

My work has been featured in industry publications and I've had the privilege of working alongside some of the best minds in SEO, including the late Bill Slawski.
