About Guest: Amber Goetz
Amber Goetz is the creator of Active Media, a premium web and SEO agency she established back in 2005. With almost two decades of experience converting websites into conversion-focused machines, Amber has assisted clients create 10M+ in revenue through natural channels and expanded sites from zero to 100K+ monthly visitors. But here's what makes her story especially fascinating - before she was conquering Google rankings, she was actually dominating racetracks as a skilled stunt driver from 1999-2011. Over her career, she's created 500+ websites, exited her first company back in 2010, and today operates Active Media to help brands achieve better rankings and produce leads faster. Amber's developed her reputation on an "no-nonsense" philosophy and honest approach that avoids the fluff and gives business owners implementable insights they can really use. She's not your standard SEO expert who talks in complex jargon or keeps businesses hooked on agencies - instead, she's dedicated on teaching them to fish rather than just providing services. Whether she's presenting at Utah Tech University, coaching freelancers moving toward SEO leadership roles, or enabling business owners to regain control of their marketing, Amber brings this unique perspective on strategic risk-taking that comes right from her stunt driving days. https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1096910/bio/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-active-media/ https://www.facebook.com/theambergoetz/ 1 435-250-3880, [email protected]About Christopher Salem
