Geoff's SEO Experience
The organic search channel was a huge priority during Geoff’s time at Overstock. They were competing against the likes of Amazon and the stakes were incredibly high. After a year or so of disappointing results and critical time wasted working with agencies and consultants, they brought efforts in-house.
The first time Geoff heard about SEO, he remembers thinking, “Wow. You can just make technical changes to your site so that Google can understand it better, and then you get all of this free traffic? That sounds too good to be true.” But lo and behold, if you give Google what they want, they’ll send you a lot of traffic.
Geoff and his team did research and concluded that SEO was fundamentally a technical problem revolving around how well websites communicate with Google’s Search Bots. Armed with this thesis, they developed a strategy and deployed tactics like structured data markup that grew Overstock’s SEO channel from $0 to $300 million in a few short years, and, in the process, shaped the entire company’s strategy. It was a great run. After spending seven years at Overstock, Geoff realized he had an opportunity to improve the SEO industry as a whole and help large and small businesses in virtually every vertical achieve their own success. And that’s when he started Huckabuy.
