At EcoSEO, it all comes down to people. We’re a hands-on crew with sharp minds, curious energy, and a real passion for digital work.

Meet the Humans Behind Your SEO Wins
Behind every ranking jump, every traffic spike, and every “holy cow, where did these leads come from?” moment at EcoSEO, there’s a small team making it happen. No big-agency bureaucracy. No endless chains of account managers who “check with the team.” We are the team — thinkers, doers, fixers.
Some of us get lost in keyword data until the numbers line up like a perfect puzzle. Others thrive in the strategy seat, mapping the moves that will outpace competitors. And some of us are deep in the back end, fixing the invisible stuff no one else wants to touch — the things that make Google smile and your conversions climb.
The common thread? We care. We do it properly. We build things that last. When your site wins, we were in the trenches with you.
Pears Jobs
CEO & SEO Specialist
Pears isn’t just steering the EcoSEO ship — he’s down in the engine room, too. With over 20 years in digital strategy, he’s seen every trend come and go, and he’s allergic to buzzwords that don’t translate into results. Give him a slow site and he’ll turn it into a conversion machine.
Case in point: one client was drowning in traffic that didn’t convert. Pears led the overhaul that turned that chaos into a 560% increase in qualified leads. Not a fluke. Not luck. Just sharp strategy, clean execution and an obsession with getting the details right.
His toolkit runs deep — Google Analytics, site architecture, crawl optimisation — but he’s just as invested in growing his team as he is in growing your metrics. Close the laptop and you’ll probably find him hiking mountain trails, swapping data dashboards for fresh air and altitude.
Simon Shaw
Project Leader
If Pears is the engine, Simon’s the gearbox. He’s the reason campaigns move forward without veering off-track.
With a Project Management Diploma from UJ and a shelf full of Agile certifications, Simon is part strategist, part traffic controller, part calm-in-a-storm. Need proof? He once took a client from “invisible in local search” to a 20% increase in rankings — and did it without breaking a sweat. That’s his thing: big goals broken into clear, workable steps that actually get done. And while he can manage multiple timelines at once, his balance isn’t just figurative — when he’s not keeping campaigns on track, he’s on a surfboard.
