Professor M
My family always owned local businesses (stationery shop, jewellers, insurance agency) and I would help in the Summer and Holidays.
However, my parents wanted me to go to University, so I was the first “one” in my family to go.
After university in 2004, I moved to UK with my Girlfriend at the time (and now my beautiful wife) to feel and be more independent, looking for a new adventure.
I’ve worked in crazy big multinationals and started a few businesses. But after the initial buzz of the first 6-12 months albeit successful, I would get bored and felt that something was missing in me to feel fulfilled.
As I have been doing Local SEO since 2007! (time flies), and in 2011, I started a Local Digital Marketing Agency, specialized in Local SEO and Google Local Listings Product (whatever was its name: Google Places, Google+, Google My Business…)
We carried out management services and consultancy work around the world (mainly in the US, UK, Canada, Australia) for businesses of various sizes from micro-enterprises to multinationals until I sold it at the end of 2019, even before the covid-19 pandemic.
Why I sold my profitable Agency? 2 events in my life made me rethink my “path”. First, I found that people with the same genetic condition (Polycystic kidney disease) as me have an average survival age of 54 years old. And I am almost 40… Yet, I believe that I will live many more years than that. Then the second event, my brother died at 39 years of age…
So I started thinking about my mortality, what would be my mark on this world, my legacy?
Also, what good is it to have a big house in a great place, an expensive car… if I am not trying to make a difference in people’s lives.
“Ok, I want to make a difference. How?…”
So my Passions are Marketing, Business, and Teaching (that’s why I was nicknamed Professor M…), who then can I help?
In 2019, I realized that I had to do something about it! So I sold the agency and started “Professor M”. A dumb thing to do? Financially, probably. But personally, it’s the best thing I ever did.
I hope to make a difference by educating on how to properly use Google Business Profile (formerly Google My Business) and Local SEO.
