Joshua George is the founder of ClickSlice, an SEO Agency based in London, UK.
He has eight years of experience as an SEO Consultant and was recently hired by the UK government for SEO training. Joshua also owns the best-selling SEO course on Udemy, and has taught SEO to over 100,000 students.
His work has been featured in Forbes, Entrepreneur, Agency Analytics, Wix and lots more other reputable publications.
Joshua originally got involved with SEO as an end result of selling on eBay.
He loved selling on eBay but hated paying the eBay commission fees (also known as final value fees).
Instead of paying eBay a fee every time he sold an item, he decided to make his own website where he could sell as many items as he wanted without paying any eBay fees.
However, after making his website, he realised it was getting no traffic and as a result it wasn’t generating any sales. As you do, he started to Google things like “how to get my website onto the first page of Google” and stumbled across SEO in 2015.
Joshua remembers this day like it was yesterday and says whilst smiling “13th Sept 2015, the day I first stumbled across SEO. I knew from this point onwards my future would take a different direction”.
From this day onwards, Joshua studied SEO, day in day out. He mastered the skill within 3 years and now regularly helps business owners in the UK rank higher in Google and generate more revenue.
SEO is forever changing, to stay on top of your game you have to constantly be trying and testing new things. Joshua regularly attends SEO conferences across the world to ensure he’s always updated on the latest Google algorithm updates and trends.
He spends most of his time as an SEO Consultant For Businesses in London.
Business aside, Joshua is extremely family orientated and is a big believer in “family is everything”.
When he’s not working on the SEO Agency, you can most likely find him in a gym in London.
