About Me

SEO Specialist and WordPress Developer with 16+ Years of Hands-On Experience

I’m Mark Arvin Alagos. I’ve worked in SEO since 2010, starting as a virtual assistant and SEO specialist and moving through web development, project management and senior SEO roles for agencies and businesses in the US and Australia.

Most SEO specialists stop at the report. I’m also a developer, so I audit the site, build the strategy and implement the fixes myself, from the content and the code to the server it runs on.

Working With Clients in the US, UK, Australia and New Zealand

I’m based in the Philippines (GMT+8) and work remotely with businesses and agencies overseas. Here’s what that looks like in practice:

  • Australia and New Zealand: my working day overlaps with yours, so same-day turnaround and live calls are easy.
  • United Kingdom: calls in your morning or early afternoon, with work completed while you’re offline.
  • United States: calls in your late afternoon or evening, and progress waiting for you when your day starts.
  • Direct communication: you deal with me, not an account manager, over email, Slack, Teams, Zoom or Google Meet.
  • Your tools, your process: I work inside your project management system and reporting templates, and I’m happy to sign an NDA.
  • Clear pricing in USD: every service page lists a starting price, and each project gets a written quote before work begins.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where are you based?

General Santos City, Philippines. I work remotely and take on clients in the United States, United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand.

Do you work alone or with a team?

You work directly with me. I do the strategy and the implementation myself, so nothing gets lost between an account manager, an SEO and a developer.

How do we get started?

Send me your site and what you want to achieve. I’ll reply with an honest view of where you stand and what I’d do first, then a written quote if it’s a fit.

Let’s Talk About Your Project

Tell me about your site, your goals and your market, and I’ll tell you where I’d start.
