At SearchLab, we’re proud of what we’ve built. We’ve recently been named to the Inc. 5,000 list for the third year in a row, and we’re shortlisted for TEN US Search Awards. One of the building blocks that allowed us to get to where we are today is our people. We wouldn’t be where we are today if we didn’t hire the top talent in the industry.

I’ve learned over the years that it’s not just about having top talent, it’s also important to play to people’s strengths. If someone gets to come to work every day and use their talents to do what they love, clients get better results and our team is happier.

Today, we’re thrilled to announce two significant leadership changes that will help us reach new heights in the future.

Dane Saville Promoted to Director of Brand Experience

Dane Saville has been promoted to the newly created role of Director of Brand Experience.

In his two years as Director of SEO, Dane oversaw our award-winning SEO team. Dane led the team through a transitionary period, which has allowed SearchLab to grow aggressively in 2024. As of this writing, SearchLab has more SEO clients and higher monthly recurring revenue than at any point in company history.

Dane has an incredible mind and a unique talent for talking to clients at their level – at heart, he’s a born educator. In his new role, Dane will focus on developing SearchLab’s brand through conference speaking, podcasting, conducting and publishing industry studies. He will also act as a subject matter expert during sales demonstrations to prospective clients and as an ambassador for new clients, ensuring a smooth onboarding experience.

His expertise will be instrumental in further strengthening our brand’s presence and enhancing the overall experience for current and future clients.

Andrew Marr Returns as Director of Search Marketing

We are also excited to welcome back Andrew Marr, who will be rejoining SearchLab after two years as SEO Director at Performics. Andrew is no stranger to our team, having previously served as an SEO consultant, team lead, and manager. During his time at SearchLab, Andrew was a beloved co-worker and mentor. His work on behalf of client Tom Kadlec Kia earned SearchLab our first US Search Award.

Andrew’s return comes at a pivotal time as we continue to grow our team and scale operations. His deep knowledge of search marketing, ability to manage large teams, and alignment with SearchLab’s core values make him the perfect fit for this role.

Looking Forward

These leadership changes underscore our commitment to evolving and adapting to the needs of our clients and our team. The last twelve months have seen tremendous growth, and we’re making moves to set ourselves up for even more success in the future. These guys are amazing at what they do – I can’t wait to see the impact that Dane and Andrew will have in their new roles.

Join us in congratulating Dane Saville on his well-deserved promotion and in welcoming back Andrew Marr to the SearchLab family!
