Andrew founded Page Zero Media in 2000 with a plan to figure out how to structure services to the already fast-growing search engine marketing (SEM) segment. When early clients complained that SEO firms weren’t listening to what they needed, Andrew listened. Transparency, trust, and terms were all big parts of these client wish-lists.
Andrew was galvanized by Google’s release of Google AdWords Select in 2002. He released the world’s first “how-to” on AdWords – “21 Ways to Maximize ROI on Google AdWords Select,” in April 2002, briefly rivaling Eminem’s The Eminem Show for global sales.
The need to get the right people on the bus increased after this, as consulting business was growing steadily. Page Zero still believes it doesn’t have to be big — just really good. The team grew steadily, but not hugely, over the years.
In 2005, Andrew published Winning Results with Google AdWords (McGraw-Hill; 2nd ed. 2008), considered the leading resource in the field. The book has been translated into six languages.
Andrew has been active on the conference circuit since 2002. He once maintained an “iron man” streak of speaking at every North American SES Conference (48, before missing the Chicago show to speak at SMX Milan). For five years, he served on the SES Conference’s Global Advisory Board, helping to set the direction for content. In addition, Andrew has been a regular contributor to industry publications like ClickZ and Search Engine Land.
