Mike Roberts
Senior Technical SEO & Data Analyst
A passion for the right turn of phrase and an avid love of books led Mike to his love of spotting, categorizing, and creating content for websites that draws audiences and keeps them coming back.
As SEO (search engine optimization) analyst for Efferent Media, Mike is responsible for culling through tons of numbers, spreadsheets and other key analytic elements such as keyword research, site traffic and patterns, and customer engagement.
Working closely with the SEO and content teams, Mike translates that information and identifies content trends that attract the right eyeballs to our clients’ websites, as well as on-page optimization adjustments that help organically boost the ranking of our clients’ websites on the search engines.
Mike’s efforts to discover hidden content gems and previously untapped SEO techniques are all backed by solid analytics and numbers, and ultimately increase not only site ranking, but also on-site engagement and content share ability. Due to the outstanding results he has generated for Efferent Media’s clients Mike was promoted to Senior Technical SEO & Data Analyst.

Fun Fact
Occasionally comes to work in a kilt.
Before joining Efferent Media, Mike was the SEO lead and copywriter at Deer Park, New York-based Barron Designs, an online retailer with four ecommerce websites. There, he updated all four of the company’s websites to maintain and improve click-through rate (CTR), the number of site visits and the time spent on page. He also honed his SEO skills at Barron, where he optimized pages, performed keyword research and regularly studied analytics for all four sites.
He brings that experience to his role as Senior Technical SEO & Data analyst at Efferent. He also lends his ability to work with various departments to ensure all are working toward improving year-over-year SEO results for each of our clients.
Mike is a member of the Mayflower Society and the Pilgrim Edward Doty Society, and holds a Bachelor of Arts in English from LIU Post, the latter of which dovetails nicely with his love of books, comics, graphic novels and all things content and SEO. His appetite for learning best SEO practices continues with his regular attendance of SES NY and SMX East and by tapping into MOZ’s online knowledge base.
When Mike isn’t immersed in analytics for Efferent’s clients, he enjoys playing tabletop role-playing games and has been doing so regularly for the past eight-plus years and sporadically for several years before that. He also likes to play board and card games with friends.
