I’m Jared Carrizales, I craft digital legacies.

It’s not enough to simply grow traffic, most SEOs can do that. I believe it’s also my job to help that traffic convert.

I started in the digital marketing space in 2008, and have personally managed hundreds of campaigns for SMBs, e-commerce stores, and the Fortune 500.

About Me​


I certainly enjoy SEO, but I also make time to work on other personal and professional pursuits.

I also make an effort to speak at events throughout the year, as able. These typically revolve around marketing and remote work.

As much as I enjoy work, personal time has its place as well. Away from work, I enjoy playing tennis and competing in trivia nights with friends regularly.

My Experience​

Throughout my career, I’ve been guided by two main objectives: bring value to website visitors, and do so ethically.

In 2008 I started my own website, having no clue what goes into that. I didn’t realize it at the time, but over the next two years, I would essentially give myself a crash course education in all things digital marketing.

Since then, I’ve been building layer upon layer of additional knowledge within my roles. This has resulted in working with companies and organizations like Elementor, DuWest Realty, St. Edward’s University, Southern Methodist University, Benzinga, and the Tulsa Chamber of Commerce.

After exiting my own agency in 2022, I would very much like to be part of a team again. Learning and succeeding with others is important to me personally, and doing that with a good company is very rewarding.

2022​

Fractional SEO Manager

For the majority of the last couple of years I’ve been helping clients make the most of their sites by managing their content marketing and SEO efforts, as well as expanding upon my speaking engagements from pre-covid.

2013

Founder – Heroic Search​

I started Heroic Search as a full service agency, but shifted to link building a few years later. My main job consisted of campaign strategy, account management, and personnel.

2012

SEO Strategist​

In my first agency role, I was in charge of developing strategies for several SMBs, as well as “in the trenches” optimization for the sites themselves.

2010

Freelance Consultant​

Like most marketers, I fell into SEO by accident. This role began after I built my first website. I learned so much about SEO and digital marketing that I decided to monetize those skills.

Don’t Take My Word For It​

I’ve worked with some great people over the years. Here’s what some of them have had to say.

Jared and I have worked together on several projects over the years. He has an immense amount of knowledge about this industry and an absolute passion for staying up to date on the newest and latest trends. His friendly demeanor and can-do attitude are what makes him so easy to work with. I can’t imagine working with anyone else.

I had the pleasure of working with Jared, whom I can say is personable (with staff and clients), professional, detail-oriented, and success-driven, but made those of us he supervised feel encouraged and at ease at the same time. When Jared came onboard we felt like a team, learned more, and felt more driven to succeed.

As an advocate for unique and quality content creation, Jared worked diligently to improve the SEO department’s industry knowledge as well as creative link building and content marketing strategies. He worked with his team to brainstorm and implement campaigns intended to improve the client’s traffic, search rankings, brand recognition, and most importantly ROI. He was a good teacher and a good leader and would be an asset to any team.

Jared walked me through the mystery of analytics, helped me understand far more than I ever could have figured out on my own. Listened to what I wanted, walked me through the steps, and wrote it all out so I can reference everything. Wonderful job helping me understand traffic patterns to my site, goals for Google Analytics, and more!

Publications and Interviews

It’s my belief that if you’re not participating in the SEO industry, you probably aren’t learning much. I try to make sure I’m always engaging with the community, as well as keeping my eye open for good content contributions. Making this a priority helps not only me, but my campaigns. Here are some past contributions that fall into that category.
