SeoTuner’s Jeremiah Weilert Is named “The Google Wrangler” by Swagger Magazine

On May 10^th, Swagger Magazine released a feature on our co-founder Jeremiah Weilert, referring to him as a self-made man stocked with “gumption and go-getter-ism”. And to think it all started with going door-to-door in second grade to sell polished rocks (which he made a $20 profit off of)!

So how did he go from his rock selling days to running a multimillion-dollar SEO company alongside Tony Durso?

What Inspired Jeremiah to Begin SeoTuners?

Jeremiah used to work in a “cookie-cutter sales role” as Swagger put it, which is typically how the business world works—you have to put in your time at the bottom. Learn the ropes as a cog in the machine of the company, and hope that with enough hard work and overtime, someone in higher management will eventually notice you and invite you to move up a step.

Of course, there’s definitely something to be said for putting in your time to learn the lay of the land while working your way up—but sometimes you can become stuck in a business hierarchy that is not functioning well. This can happen when a company refuses to reconsider the way it does business even though circumstances are changing, or when management consistently

turns a deaf ear to innovative suggestions from employees.

Jeremiah was not unwilling to do the work—he became sales manager within six months of starting the job, and in another six months, he became the director of the whole department. This quick advancement is owed to his driven personality—he was passionate about learning and challenging himself, and willing to pivot his management style when it wasn’t working.

But even in this role with perceived leadership power, he found himself constrained by upper management’s inability or unwillingness to change—which ultimately resulted in the company’s dissolution due to Google’s Penguin update. As he notes in the feature:

“When you get as big as they were, and you can’t pivot, you leave yourself vulnerable to Google,” he recalls. “We were running this ginormous SEO company going, ‘there are so many ways for this to go better,’ but upper management wouldn’t take the advice we gave.”

Jeremiah wanted to create a company that would value the ability to anticipate new changes and welcome innovation—and that’s exactly what SeoTuners became.

Creating An Even Playing Field

Cracking the myth that one had to start at the bottom and slowly move to the top, Jeremiah set out to use SEO to ensure that small, budget-conscious companies could consistently show up on the first page of Google, even beating out major brands.

SeoTuners is all about efficiency, adaptation, and resilience. Rather than doing the same things that used to work before, the business focuses on continually trying new and different things that might work even better. And it turns out, this is exactly the type of attitude that’s needed as Google continues to update its algorithms.

The only way to stay at the top in SEO is to change, adapt, and mold one’s strategy as the digital landscape continues to change. And SeoTuners does this by keeping up to date with all of the latest news, statistics, and algorithm updates that are constantly rolling out.

And as Google’s algorithm continues to favor quality, relevance, and credibility, it becomes easier and easier for businesses (no matter their size or wealth) to rank on the front page so long as they showcase these qualities.

Merit Over Profit

For a multitude of industries, bigger doesn’t mean better. SeoTuners wants to help businesses big or small reach their audience so that they can do whatever it is they do best—and sometimes they have to win out over others who only care about making a profit.

This is especially true when it comes to the drug and alcohol treatment center niche. SeoTuners now works with over a hundred of these organizations across the U.S. to help them rank higher on Google so they can better reach the people who need them.

SEO done right is a way to “level the playing field” and help smaller businesses “compete with the big boys online”. It’s a chance to have how high a business ranks on Google have much more to do with the quality of the service than the budget of the business.
