Passionate SEO Learner & Future Specialist

About Me – My SEO Journey

I’m Ella Mae Baloran, and welcome to my SEO journey! This space was born out of my desire to learn digital marketing, share my progress, and inspire others who may also be starting their path in search engine optimization. When I first discovered SEO, I realized it was more than just a technical skill  it’s a powerful tool that helps businesses connect with their audience, increase visibility, and grow in the competitive online space.

Like many beginners, I started with curiosity. I wanted to understand how websites appear on search engines like Google and why some brands thrive online while others struggle to be found. That curiosity led me to formal training, where I’ve been diving deeper into the fundamentals of SEO  from keyword research and website audits to technical optimization and local SEO strategies.

This website reflects my journey, both as a learner and as someone who wants to apply SEO in real-world settings. By documenting my training sessions and the key lessons I’ve gained, I’m able to strengthen my understanding while creating a resource that can also help others.

Why I Chose SEO

The digital world is growing rapidly, and every business now needs a strong online presence. For me, SEO stood out because it’s not about quick tricks; it’s about building a foundation for long-term growth. I love the idea of combining strategy, creativity, and analysis to solve real problems.

SEO requires patience and consistency, but it’s also rewarding. Every small win whether it’s fixing a technical issue, choosing the right keywords, or seeing a website improve in search results adds up to long-term success. That’s what excites me about this field: you can make a real difference for brands and individuals by helping them reach more people online.

My Mission and Values

My mission is to help websites rank higher and reach more people. I aim to support small businesses, entrepreneurs, and individuals who may not have the resources for complex digital marketing campaigns but still want to grow online.

I value:

  • Continuous Learning: SEO is always changing, and I believe in staying curious and adaptable.
  • Clarity and Simplicity: I want to make SEO less intimidating by breaking it down step by step.
  • Practical Application: It’s not just about theory — I apply what I learn through audits, keyword mapping, and real website practice.
  • Empowerment: By sharing what I learn, I hope to empower others to explore SEO for themselves.

My Training & Key Learnings

So far, my training sessions have introduced me to the fundamentals of SEO, the importance of keyword research, how sitemaps guide search engines, and the process of conducting website audits. I’ve learned how technical issues like redirects, duplicate content, or broken links can hurt visibility, and how strategic keyword mapping keeps content targeted and effective.

Each lesson I’ve gained is shaping me into a more confident digital marketer. I document these insights not only for my growth but also to create a portfolio that shows my progress. In the future, I aim to expand my expertise and work with businesses that want to build strong digital foundations.

Looking Ahead

This journey is only the beginning. As I continue to learn and practice, I envision myself becoming a trusted SEO professional who can guide brands toward visibility, growth, and online success. For now, I focus on taking things step by step, building confidence, and offering beginner-friendly services to put my skills into practice.
