Jeff Watts
Founder and CEO
Jeff Watts, Strongpages founder and CEO, has participated in the evolution of the search engine optimization industry over the last decade by working on large-scale search programs spanning multiple countries and languages. He understands how businesses and search engines can partner – rather than compete – to achieve cost-effective and often dramatic results.
Prior to forming Strongpages, Jeff served as a product manager for Bazaarvoice, an early stage company that provides Ratings & Reviews for large retail, manufacturing, and financial services websites. While there, Jeff was responsible for streamlining and automating SEO to help the world’s biggest brands significantly improve the search value of user-generated content. His work produced annual average growth rates of 276% for their established clients.
Prior to Bazaarvoice, Jeff managed the global SEO program at National Instruments, an industrial electronics supplier in Austin, Texas with operations in 40 countries and 9 languages. There, he started the SEO program from the ground up, ultimately driving approximately a half million searches per month, with 98% generated from less than 1% of the budget.
Jeff is an industry figurehead and frequent speaker on search engine optimization and marketing. He is also a software developer and holds a computer engineering degree from Texas A&M University.
