HIRING & TRAINING

Don't just rent my expertise. Build it into your team.

I help you hire and train the SEO and growth team that fits your stage - in-house and freelancers. The right roles, real vetting, and the training to get them productive fast, so growth doesn't depend on any one person.

a team that owns growth without me
The problem

Most growth hiring fails before the interview - the role and the bar were never defined.

// "we don't know who to hire first"

Unclear roles & sequencing

// "we keep mis-hiring for SEO"

No way to vet expertise

// "our freelancers are hit or miss"

Unvetted contractors

// "growth lives in one person's head"

Key-person risk

How it works

Define the roles. Vet for real skill. Train them to own it.

In-house, freelance, or a blend - built around where you are and where you're going.

01

Define the team you need

The right roles and sequence for your stage, with scorecards that describe what "good" actually looks like.

02

Vet for real expertise

Screening, exercises, and interview support that separate genuine SEO/growth skill from buzzwords - for hires and freelancers alike.

03

Onboard & train

Ramp plans, playbooks, and hands-on training so new hires get productive fast and to a consistent standard.

04

Mentor to ownership

Ongoing mentorship and a stakeholder loop so the team owns growth long-term - without depending on me or any single person.

What's included

The roles, the vetting, and the training to make growth a team capability.

  • Role definition and scorecards for SEO/growth hires
  • Hiring process: sourcing, screening, and skills exercises
  • Freelancer/agency vetting and management framework
  • Onboarding and ramp plans for new hires
  • Training workshops and playbooks (tone, standards, process)
  • Ongoing mentorship to senior-level ownership
Who it's for

What you need to build shifts with your stage.

SEED / PRE-PMF

SERIES A / SCALING

Build out the team and the playbooks so growth scales beyond the founder.

SERIES B+ / GROWTH

Level up an existing team, vet senior hires, and remove key-person risk.

Operators I've done this kind of work for.

Andre was extremely helpful. As a fellow entrepreneur, he could relate to the issues I'm experiencing and came prepared with practical tips on how I can grow my business through referral marketing and upsells. He was patient, answered all my questions, and went over the time allotted. Highly recommend!

It's not often that the most knowledgeable person in your organization is also the most approachable and ready to share. Andre's the rare exception. Quite literally, he's a walking, breathing marketing oracle. You'd be hard-pressed to find any SEO/growth topic that he isn't only fluent in. And, whether you're employee number 1 or number 1000, he'd be equally as enthusiastic to share his unique insights and help you in your professional growth.
