Joey's Story - From A Love of Writing to a Self-Taught Digital Marketer
Joey’s journey into SEO began because of his love for writing.
After graduating from the University of Puget Sound, he pursued a career to be a full-time writer. He found himself as a writer in a growing SEO agency, knowing nothing about SEO or digital marketing. During this process, he began self-teaching himself SEO, website development, and digital marketing best practices.
He read over 500 articles and watched over 200 hours worth of online tutorials, becoming obsessed with all-things digital marketing.
After growing with this other agency for 3 years, Joey discovered the agency didn’t treat their clients or team members very well. The game was sell, sell, sell, sell. Delivering great results was secondary.
He left and started SEO Growth Partners Digital Marketing in 2019.

What Makes Joey Different
He cuts through the BS
Many other digital marketing agencies and ‘gurus’ are, for back of a better term, sleezy salesmen. Joey speaks to business owners in layman’s terms that they can understand.
He encourages you to fire him if he can’t get results:
When other agencies fail to get results, they frequently ask their clients to increase budget. Joey is the opposite. If he can’t get results, he asks you to fire him. seeking to dominate local, national, or international markets.
He shares the secret sauce:
Joey has filmed over 30 hours of YouTube video content and written dozens of articles sharing his ‘secret sauce’. Just because folks know the formula, doesn’t mean they have the time or expertise to execute it themselves. Knowledge is power.
He’s not afraid to say “no”:
If Joey doesn’t think he can help you substantially grow your business through strategic digital marketing campaigns, he’ll tell you. Other agencies and freelancers will take your money knowing that they can’t actually help.
