Joe Schaefer Team Bio
Joe Schaefer
SEO Manager
Before Joe became SEO Manager at Outspoken Media, he mowed lawns. Well, there were a lot of other things in between such as: teacher, Web content writer, and SEO at other agencies. Making his way to Outspoken Media is no surprise. Before Macs were Macs, Joe was tinkering with an Apple IIe during his teenage summers to code his own drawing programs since he couldn’t afford the “real” software. Back then, his father said, “Someday you’ll be the CEO of some computer company!” Nowadays, his dad says, “Is SEO like a CEO?” “Um, yeah Dad… it totally is!”
In his role at Outspoken Media, Joe brings his years of experience and expertise from agency life. He hyper-focuses his abilities and knowledge of the one industry that brings him the joy of meeting challenges while quenching his thirst for competitive success. Joe operates under the philosophy that a client’s competitors are his competitors, and treats each campaign, SEO audit, and interaction as an opportunity to better not just the client, but Outspoken Media, and hopefully the industry itself.
Joe majored in English and Secondary Education at Dominican College, and graduated with an Honors Degree. When he isn’t reading voraciously about the industry, implementing SEO, or building countless Web sites for himself, Joe can be found spending as much time as he can with his wife and their four children. That, or mowing his own lawn.
