Hi, I’m Sierra Skelly.

I am a local business marketing consultant, SEO strategist, and content marketing expert. I have over eight years of experience growing organic traffic and business revenue for a variety of industries from parenting and travel, to home insurance and small business loans.

Most recently, I was the Marketing Director for a restaurant group where I managed multi-million dollar marketing budgets, optimized marketing processes, and led all marketing initiatives, including local SEO, promotions, and events.

Before that, I grew a recommence brand’s organic search revenue by 33% and organic search and blog traffic by more than 400%.

But, growing traffic is only part of what I do. It’s a result of creating compelling, value-adding content that your consumers care about. I’d love to help you form a sustainable strategy that can connect your consumers to your product or service in a helpful (and fun!) way.

  • If your brand needs to efficiently optimize organic search, your team needs Sierra!

    During Sierra's time at GoodBuy Gear she made incredible contributions to the organic marketing team. She owned the brand's SEO and editorial strategy, managed a team of writers, lead content distribution across all organic channels and so much more. Her efforts helped GoodBuy Gear rank #1 for several key terms and increased organic search traffic +46% YoY. While managing Sierra I was incredibly impressed by the results she drove singlehandedly compared to the results I've seen when previously working with large SEO agencies.

  • Sierra is the most talented editorial manager I have ever worked with.

    She wore so many hats during our time working together and absolutely blew our team away with her organization and speed. If you ever get the chance to work with Sierra, consider yourself lucky, because she is a star.

  • Sierra is a team-player that brings great ideas to the table and also really "gets" SEO-focused content marketing.

    Sierra was a great asset to Siege Media. Myself and our entire team were always impressed with her professionalism as well, which stood out amongst her colleagues. Sierra has my strong recommendation and I believe she would excel in any content marketing-focused capacity.
