SEO Specialists in the Philippines – SEM Part 1

  2. Kira Permunian – An internet marketing consultant and author of the blog SEOgeekster. You can follow him on Twitter at @kirapermunian and may also take a look at his Linkedin profile.
  3. Adonis Silud – We started SEO in the same year. He is consulting for SMBs and is a very good friend of mine. You can take a look at his Linkedin profile to know him better.

There’s still a lot out there who’s doing SEO in the Philippines, but I would put my money on these three guys anytime. Next post will be the PPC specialists I know and have worked with.
