Heather has also been named monthly columnist for Web Site Magazine doing her Findability Makeovers for web site business owners.

Heather began her Internet career as a web designer and then became a Paid Search Manager at a large dot com in Denver, Colorado, where she was responsible for a multi-million dollar paid search budget.   Heather’s favorite anecdote from the early days of business web sites is this: “If I heard, “If you build it they will come” one more time, I was going to scream, because it wasn’t true. People didn’t automatically come to a web site; you had to figure out how to get them there.”   Heather started consulting in response to all the web site owners who had paid for web sites that weren’t performing. Indeed, it was her clients’ frustration with getting traffic to their sites that was her inspiration for learning and mastering the art and science of search engine visibility.  Heather became an expert at what works and what doesn’t in producing consistent search marketing success.

The summation of Heather’s knowledge and experience is this: What works in the field of successful search engine marketing is keyword-driven searches.  She literally wrote the book on this subject. And she now shares her expertise with audiences nationwide.
