Your SEO Consultant
I’m Michaela Laubscher, and I’ve spent over sixteen years immersed in the ever-evolving digital marketing landscape, specialising in SEO for the past seven years.
Based in Christchurch, New Zealand, I bring a global outlook and extensive experience to guide businesses like yours to new heights online.
A Journey of Growth
My career in digital marketing began with a role in London, where I managed digital content for an illustration agency. This initial exposure to digital strategies led me to launch my own consultancy, where I spent six years specialising in content creation for businesses, including case studies, blogs and email marketing. This period was instrumental in shaping my approach to digital marketing.
In 2017, I relocated to New Zealand, where I expanded my expertise to include SEO. Joining esteemed agencies such as Reach Local, Firefly Digital, Empire9, and Adenium, I have honed my skills in search engine optimisation. This experience has given me a comprehensive understanding of different industries and CMS platforms, enabling me to deliver tailored SEO solutions.
Since taking on the role of Head of Department in 2021, I have been fortunate to lead and mentor SEO teams, driving innovative strategies and achieving excellent results. Additionally, teaching SEO strategy at NZIE (New Zealand Institute of Education) has been a fulfilling extension of my career, allowing me to pass on my knowledge and passion to aspiring SEO professionals.
This journey of growth has been both challenging and rewarding. I’m committed to leveraging my extensive experience to provide customised SEO solutions that deliver tangible results and support the growth of businesses and professionals. Thank you for considering Altitude Search as your trusted partner in digital success.
