About

My name is Matt Siltala and I am an Arizona SEO, and here is a little look into my life – the life of a search engine optimizer!

I really started getting into computers when my mom would bring home the apple IIGS (she worked at a school and could check them out for summers) with Math Crunchers, and other games like that I can’t even remember.

We never did have a computer growing up, so these times of using the computer I cherished! I always knew I was going to have a long term profession in computers of some sort, I just did not know what at that point.

I really started to figure things out when I was living in Fiji for a couple of years serving a mission for my church. I was put in charge of doing a lot of tasks on the computer, and I ended up teaching most people in the office how to run a computer and get it to do basic tasks. (I was learning the process myself too and that is what was funny). I got it though, and I guess that was the difference.

I started taking computer classes at a college in 1997 and ended up getting a degree in Computer Information Systems. The focus was in networking and I learned nothing about ecommerce, web design, internet marketing or search engine optimization. I had dove into this side of computers on my own though.

I created my first three websites for a Radio Station I was a morning co-host on. From that moment on, I knew what direction I would be going in my professional life. The Internet was my passion! I saw how easy it was to manipulate search engines and get amazing rankings, and this was before I even knew what I was doing. I did not even know of terms such as search engine optimization, or internet marketing!

Several years later and hundreds of personal business consulting clients later while working as a business consultant for a small business mentoring company, as well as several internet business of my own brings me to where I am today.

I take on some consulting jobs if it is the right job. I love what I do and still don’t know how to explain to my family exactly what it is that I do to make a living! I love the internet!
