SEO & Travel Industry Partnerships Strategist

Over Two decades of turning strategy into steady growth.

I build search visibility and partnership pipelines that outlast the campaign that started them.

How I Got Here

What changed in Search. What didn't.

I’m Anthony Howard. I’ve worked in SEO for 21+ years, and for the last several years I’ve been deepening that expertise specifically in AI search visibility (GEO) and E-E-A-T, the parts of SEO that help a site get cited and trusted by search engines and AI systems, not just ranked

Fourteen of those years I ran my own firm, Howard SEM Group, working with businesses that needed someone who understood both the technical and business sides of search.

A few years ago I stepped into something new, co-owning a travel agency. It’s given me a chance to apply what I know about search and partnerships in an industry I’m still learning from the inside, including hands-on AI search visibility work on a franchise platform with real structural limits; no canonical control, index fragmentation I couldn’t fix at the root, schema that needed rebuilding from scratch. It’s been a genuinely useful way to understand these systems in practice, not just in theory.

I’ve never worked in a role where client success, account management or strategic partnerships were someone else’s department, as a business owner and founder, that responsibility was always mine to carry, learned from the ground up rather than handed to me. Over the years that’s meant managing relationships across a wide range, from large corporations and big teams down to hundreds of individual small businesses. Different scales, same rule: if a client isn’t genuinely succeeding, neither am I, that’s the actual measure I hold myself to.

I’m a husband, son, and father first — everything else gets built around that.

Right now I’m open to what’s next: a full-time or part-time remote role, or a consulting engagement, whichever makes sense for the right fit. I’d rather have one honest conversation than send fifty generic applications — so if any of this sounds interesting, let’s talk.
