About

Hello! I am Marcin Kuruc. With over 6 years of extensive professional experience across diverse sectors including home improvement, construction, chimney cleaning, garage building, heavy-duty truck parts, food and grocery delivery services, retaining rings and wave springs, and industrial printing machines and parts. My background encompasses both B2B and B2C markets, allowing me to be versatile and adaptable to messaging the content to the appropriate customer audience.

I continuously learn about the constant updates to algorithms to better serve advertisements on Google, Bing, and social media. My philosophy for SEM begins with understanding campaign strategies and creating solutions that enhance advertisement delivery through quality and relevant landing pages, excellent ad strength, dynamic keyword insertions, ad extensions, and relevancy. Regarding search engine and SEO algorithms, my approach involves learning and adapting to changes made by Google and Bing. This process starts with keyword research to create relevant, readable, and conversational content, which is then fully optimized using SEO meta tags, internal linking, and schema markups.
