Todd Heim
CEO, Essential Internet Marketing, LLC
SEO Manager

Since graduating with a technical degree in Communications from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in 2000, Todd has been working as a professional Internet Marketer for the past 9 years. His technical ability coupled with a sharp marketing saavy makes him especially dangerous in the competitive world of Search Engine Optimization.

For the past 3+ years, Todd has been working as a professional SEO Manager including 3 years with an industry leading SEO agency We Build Pages. There, his comprehensive understanding of SEO made Todd the "go-to guy" for larger accounts and trainer of new employees and even future team leaders.

When Todd isn't working 16 hour days online, he's an active athlete and stays involved in his local community. Born and raised in the Capital Region, he recently bought a house in the heart of Albany, NY and has no intentions of leaving the area.

Todd's approach to Internet Marketing is purely strategic. He believes that comprehensive research and planning is essential to the success of any type of marketing, especially SEO.

People who've recommended Todd:

“When I joined We Build Pages, Todd was my first introduction to the team and in retrospect it's because he was the heart of that team. Todd was one of the longest employees and without question was dedicated to the future of the company. He helped every link builder, touched every internal project and connected with every client. He took it upon himself to learn more about the industry than anyone else in the company and quickly grew into a well-rounded SEO. When I joined things were hectic and Todd was my right hand man, I could always trust him to get the job done and I'll miss having someone so dependable and fun to work with. The team looked up to him and I certainly do, too. I highly recommend Todd's passion, knowledge and commitment for whatever life may bring.” - Rhea Drysdale, COO, Outspoken Media
