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.

2015 SEO and Social Media Management Package for Locals

2015 SEO and Social Media Management Package

It’s that time of the year again when everyone wants to change something with their life, and most business owners find some new ways to improve their business marketing campaigns. Well, if you’re a business owner based in Cebu that would love to try out on marketing their business online then great news! I have the two (2) combos in a package that you might want to check out.

Please take note that these packages are only available for Cebu based business owners. If you’re outside Cebu but within the Philippines, you can send me an email and if you’re really serious in marketing your business online and taking advantage of these packages, then do please contact me and I’ll fly out there. If you’re outside the Philippines, sorry these packages are only for Philippine based businesses since it includes a contract.

Anyway here are the packages.

I’ll be working for your business 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. You can just go for the SEO service, or just the Social Media Management (SMM), but if you want both you can go a lot cheaper. Please take note that this involves a 6 months and a 1 year contract, that’s why I can offer it a bit cheaper if you have the service longer.

The rate above is PER MONTH, for the dates covered by the contract (6 months or 1 year).

TIP:
* For restaurant owners it’s best to have the full-time social media management, so we could post an update on your daily specials.
* For website owners, it’s best to go for the full-time SEO service but if you’re in a budget and have a smaller market the part-time is enough for the meantime. But please do take note that depending on the competition it may take time to rank, gain traffic, and get ROI.
