Sandeep
Sandeep has worked in search engine optimisation for ten years, across technical SEO, content strategy, local search and the tools the job actually runs on. He writes and edits everything on Techno Xprt. His approach here is deliberately unglamorous: check the vendor's own pricing page rather than a roundup, confirm a feature still exists before recommending it, and go back and correct a post when the facts move. A large part of the work on this site has been exactly that, finding advice that quietly went out of date and fixing it. He writes for people doing the work themselves, small business owners and in-house marketers, rather than for other SEOs.
