Charbel Raffoul

Head of SEO Performance
Charbel's journey into digital marketing started when he discovered something called SimilarWeb, which is an online tool used to spy on competitors’ websites. He would find himself never concentrating in class once he began to dabble in this tool (safe to say he learned a lot in lectures).

About Charbel

Fast forward a few years later, Charbel found an opening for StudioHawk so  decided to write a 700-word blog about SEO to stand out from the crowd and it worked! Today, Charbel is an integral part of the StudioHawk leadership team, working with clients to ensure their experience with us is the best it can be.

 

His favourite part about SEO is working on eCommerce websites, Charbel has found they have disrupted many industries and will continue to do so. He loves combining the power of analysing data with finding the missing SEO elements of an eCommerce website to achieve results that make a client go WTF (of course, in a good way!).

 

When Charbel's not reading every blog there is about SEO,  he enjoys working out, watching sports, and catching up with friends.
