Professional profile

I'm Gay Aida Dumaguing, an SEO specialist with 16 years of experience helping businesses improve their organic visibility. I work directly with clients and focus on practical priorities, transparent reporting, and steady progress.

My work covers service businesses and e-commerce websites across international markets, including the US, UK, AU, CA, and Dubai.

My approach is straightforward: understand the website, find realistic opportunities, prioritize the work that matters, and track progress through data. I do not promise instant rankings or unnecessary activity just to make SEO look busy.

Why clients work with me: direct communication, realistic expectations, practical SEO priorities, and clear reporting — without agency layers or unnecessary fluff.

Web Development

Cheap Web Development Cebu Philippines Affordable Web Developer

As an IT graduate, I also have the knowledge and skills on web development, and as a SEO specialist I know how important it is to have a well designed website. Starting 2015 I will officially include this as part of my services since a number of people have already contacted me for different simple projects.

I aim to be able to provide professional service too with businesses that are in a tight budget, so I have different options for you to choose from to have your very own official website. Here are your options:

Blogger Website - $300

Website Hosting: by Blogger/Blogspot (FREE)
Custom Domain: Not Included
Content: Not IncludedDesign: Using Templates and Customize it.
Price: $300

Blogger is a free blogging platform that is now owned by Google. Your website hosting is free by Google, but you must keep it update with your blog posts – which is advisable for personal, blogs, and businesses especially if you want it to be optimized and have a SEO service.

Wordpress Website - $500

Website Hosting: Not Included
Custom Domain: Not Included
Duration: 1 month (maximum)
Content: Not Included
Design: Using Templates and Customize it.
Price: $500

We’ll be using a template and customize it as your own.

Fully Customized Wordpress Website 

Website Hosting: Not Included
Duration: 1 month (maximum) with 2 weeks free corrections or alterations.
Custom Domain: Not Included
Content: Not Included
Price: $700 or more (depending on your demand)

Wordpress is the most in demand platform for years because of its user-friendliness. But it requires you to pay hosting and domain. A free website is available but not advisable if you want to have a custom website since there are limited actions with the free Wordpress account.

With the FULL customized Wordpress website, we’ll need what kind of designs you like, to colors, features you want, etc.

The process:
We’ll not be using a template online and just customize it, we’ll have a design made for you only and once approved, we’ll code it, and implement it on the website.

WEBSITE DEVELOPMENT PORTFOLIO

Here are the following websites I've done website development for. These websites may have not launched the website yet, or made changes on their website (so it may not look exactly as shown), or may have changed already.
