Our guest on this week’s episode of Suds & Search is Edwin Romero, an independent SEO consultant.

Edwin is a veteran digital marketer who has served in senior positions at several different agencies. He is an expert at a very specific and important field of SEO – Website migrations.

When a business launches a new website, there’s a lot that can go wrong. Edwin brings a level of organization to the migration process and helps to ensure that it is handled carefully from an SEO perspective.

About a year ago, he took a leap out of agency life and began freelancing on his own.

Many of the best SEOs we know don’t work for a large agency. They don’t work in-house for some giant corporation. They are freelancers.

We start our conversation with Edwin talking about his transition from agency life to freelancer.

What made him forgo the security of a regular paycheck and go out on his own?

How do freelancers get new clients?

Does it ever get lonely not having colleagues?

We’re going to ask Edwin these questions and many others.

Grab something cold to drink and join us for a conversation with Edwin Romero. We’ll talk about common mistakes people make during a website migration, we’ll chat about the SEO freelancer community, and we’ll talk a little bit about his involvement in the digital marketing program and Depaul University.
