My name is Michael D. Jackson, and I am the founder of Viral Footprint. I have been in the SEO industry since 2005, working with clients in all types of various industries in the SEO realm. With over 51k+ hours of expertise, 350+ marketing consultations, and 1,900+ successful projects to date.
In 2005, I started as the CEO of Auto Search Technologies, Inc./AST specializing in SEO (Search Engine Optimization) primarily for the automotive industry before most businesses even knew what SEO even was. Making sure to get our clients multi-millions of visitors by getting their websites ranked in the top listings with SEO in all the major search engines (Google, Bing, Yahoo…) was the primary focus for AST. This was accomplished without the use of PPC (Pay Per Click) advertising and accomplished organically in the search engines utilizing SEO.
Auto Search Technologies, Inc. grew exponentially to a network of thousands of auto dealerships across the US, and because of our expertise, we started working on additional products and services other than just automotive website technology. AST has built specific software technology for the governing body in the automotive industry for the NIADA (National Independent Automotive Dealers Association) as well as over 27 of the individual state-level associations, NIADA.tv, NIADA Certified Pre-Owned, as well as several nationwide automotive dealership listing services.
As a leader in the SEO industry, I have written over 65 articles in nationally published magazines, as well as speaking/keynote speaker for of 40+ conventions and expos.
While still the CEO of Auto Search Technologies, Inc., I was the Chairman of the NYIADA (New York Independent Auto Dealers Association from 2007 to 2010. Auto Search Technologies, Inc., was outgrowing just dealership websites and is now become “Vehicles Network” with Chris Jackson as the Current CEO.
This change took effect in 2016, and I started to grow and build business for putting on conventions in the automotive industry, as well as a website consulting/copy/content writing business in the On-SEO & Off-Site SEO industry.
With the mastering of On-Site SEO, I have created Viral Footprint to expand in the world of Off-Site SEO for all types of businesses in all industries. I would love to help your business reach its full SEO potential.
