    Sara Smith - Head of SEO at Odin Digital
    Background

    How Sara got here.

    Sara has spent 10+ years working in SEO, across technical optimisation and content strategy.

    Her work has driven 200%+ organic traffic growth for clients across a range of industries.

    On the technical side she works on crawlability, indexation, site structure and structured data — the issues that quietly cap what content can achieve.

    On the content side she maps search demand to buying stages, then briefs pages against a target query, the intent behind it and the action the page should drive.

    She writes and reviews a large share of the search guides published on the Odin Digital blog.

    The values behind how Sara works are set out in our ethos, and you can meet the wider leadership group on the about page.
