About The SEO Guy
NZ SEO Company / SEO Consultant
Search Engine Optimization Consultancy Services
| The SEO Guy | Work Profile |
NZ SEO consultant Ben Kemp began delivering SEO consultancy services in the days when search engines such as Excite, Northern Light, Lycos and Alta Vista ruled the world, and Google had not yet been invented! Ben was one of the first SEO specialist practitioners in New Zealand, and has more than a decade of “hands-on” practical experience at resolving SEO issues.
Globally, there is a shortage of experienced, ethical and professional SEO consultants and it’s not easy to find a reputable SEO company or SEO firm. Ben currently delivers SEO consulting services to companies in locations as diverse as New Zealand, Australia, Alaska, USA and UK.SEO / SEM (search engine optimisation / marketing) consultancy services are based on modest hourly rates, with fixed price contracts.
Ben commenced full-time work in the Information Technology field in 1987 as an Electronic Data Processing Officer, advancing to the position of IT Manager, and serving time on the management team of a district council. In 1994 he was awarded both national and international awards* for Information Technology project implementations. (*1994 ITMG Local Government “Innovation Award” and the *1994 AURISA (Australasian Urban & Regional Information Systems Association) “Achievers Award”

Ben splits his summer-time between Lake Brunner, on the West Coast of New Zealand’s South Island, and the city of Christchurch in the east. During the NZ winter, he sometimes escapes to a warmer climate.
A dedicated fly-fisherman, Ben has also done a little work as a professional fly fishing guide through the summer…”This has to be the best stress-relief activity going… walking up pristine river valleys with nice people from the UK and USA, coaching and teaching clients the skills needed to coax big wild brown trout to take a tiny little dry fly!”
Aside from fishing, Ben has interests in motorcycles, and hiking – and the abundance of local mountain tops provides unlimited scope for keeping fit. “There is nothing like a mountain top to put a problem into perspective!”
SEO Consultant
SEO consultant Ben has worked as a free-lance (self-employed) Information Technology consultant since 1994. He has been involved in projects as diverse as Geographic Information Systems project management, computer network implementation and administration, internet and intranet web site design & development, and search engine optimisation.
An interest in development of corporate Intranets led to involvement in web site design. The development of several web sites early in the evolution of the Internet e.g. BG (before Google!) led in turn to an intensive exploration of the arcane world of search engine optimisation.
