AdAge 40 Under 40 - CEO at Growth Skills - Fractional CMO - Search Engine Land SEO Innovation Landy Award Winner - 2022 U.S Search Best Campaign Winner - 2nd Degree Black Belt - Bare Knuckle Karate Champion

I’m a performance driven Growth Marketing expert. I help brands acquire customers and increase their value over time. I have a deep speciality in SEO & Content Marketing. I made AdAge's 40 under 40 for innovating in these areas. I'm a self taught marketer so I can talk theory but also do hands on execution. 

Philosophy: There are only two relationships in Nature. Symbiotic and parasitic. Humans and corporations can chose to be either. I’ve chosen to grow and nurture symbiotic relationships with friends, family, coworkers and clients. I also help connect people who I know would thrive together. 

Kyokushin Karate: I’m a bare knuckle Kyokushin Karate champion. I equate bare knuckle Karate to growing a start up. You have to embrace the suck, be fearless and stare the problem in front of you right in the eyes and solve it. I’ve learned that martial arts has very little to do with kicking and punching but everything to do with life.

Lavall Chichester

My little startup turned 5 years old today. Her name is
Reyna Maya Chichester, named after Maya Angelou. 

Maya Angelou was a poet, dancer, singer, activist, scholar and a world-famous author. 

My daughter sings, dances, and fixes in justices on the play ground. 
When Reyna talks about the origins of her name, we want her to be able to connect with a strong black woman who made positive change for others in the world. 

Reyna Maya turned five to day and she reminded me that we have to use our skills for good. A woman stole packages from our building and Reyna recommended that we buy her, her own package, so she doesn’t have to steal.

Our children are born empathic even though they are growing up in a world that is losing it’s empathy. Most of us are masters of our craft and have the means to make change.

Be like Reyna Maya, let’s help others get the care and support they need, so the future can be proud of us.

If you search January 6th or January 6th insurrection on Google.
The White House is using SEO & Content marketing to influence the search results. 💡 

The White House claims the top stories position for both terms. 📈 

Leaving politics aside, this is an example of how SEO & Content Marketing
can and is being used for reputation management, reframing a story, brand marketing and more. 🥋 

Anyone claiming SEO is dead, is not paying attention. ☠️ 

Here is why the page is ranking and will claim the top organic positions soon. 🎓 

Why?
-White House dot gov has high domain authority 
-The content mention January 6th 47 times
-The content uses entities relevant to the topic like Congress, specific congress people
-Meta titles & descriptions are optimized enough to matter
-The article contains words, images and multiple video which will make time on site higher
-They have a social media share bar that follows you making it easy to share
-They have a downloadable report
-They have gotten links from other websites

Results: 💸 
-They have the top stories position
-They rank for over 106 keywords in a day
- They will eventually rank on the front page for these words and more
-They have gotten hundreds of backlinks from other sites the page spreading the story and reinforcing the rankings
-People will find this and be influenced in one way or the other

ChatGPT & Perplexity have not yet been influenced.

Doesn’t matter, because according to SEMRUSH Google
search is 373x bigger than ChatGPT search. Meaning more
people use Google and find before it starts to rank on ChatGPT and the others.

SEO is more vital than ever to get your message in front of people.
SEO is so powerful it is actively being used to rewrite history.

I’d love your thoughts on this in the comments.

Stop building content your audience doesn't want!
Watch this video to learn how I use SparkToro's new Take Action feature + Replit to build a fully functional interactive tool in 30 minutes. 💡 

Not 30 days. Not 30 hours. 30 minutes. ⚡ 

Here's what you'll learn: 🎓 
-How to use SparkToro's audience intelligence to generate content ideas that actually match what your target audience cares about
-How to take those AI-generated recommendations and prompt Replit's agent to build real, working tools
-How the agent literally QA tests your build for you (it takes the quiz itself to make sure everything works)

Why this is a must-watch: 🥋 

Google's AI Overviews are eating your traffic. Static content isn't cutting it anymore. And your competitors are still stuck in "let's write another blog post" mode while you could be shipping interactive experiences that convert.

The example I built? A personalized protein product finder for The Vitamin Shoppe that asks about fitness goals, diet preferences, and lifestyle, then recommends specific products. 💪 

Two things that made me laugh during this build: 😂 
I told the tool I was vegan and it recommended whey protein. Had to remind the AI that diet preferences should probably come before "let me sell you cow juice." 🐄 

Also, watching Replit's agent click through my quiz like an eager intern running QA was oddly satisfying. 

Shout out to Rand Fishkin Amanda Natividad Casey Henry for launching the new Take Action feature. I love it we are using it more and more for our clients.

Check out our success stories at https://seamless.ai/customers/testimonials

One thing i genuinely don't mind as a leader: 

My team making more money than me. 

If someone on my team out-earns me, it usually means: 

-they're crushing their role
-we hired well
-the incentives are aligned 
-the business is winning. 

10 years ago my ego would be bleeding at the heart. Now, it's about building an environment where great people can outperform expectations. 

and me. 

Bring it.

VP of Marketing at Seamless.AI | G2’s #1 Highest Satisfaction Product in 2025

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy ..

I don’t know where I’d be without the few hobbies that I have. 

I retired from my competitive CrossFit days (barely competitive). 

Then it was skateboarding during Covid (I was always a BMX rider and still have my bike). 

Then a few years ago I got into motorcycle riding and nothing has been more freeing for my mind. 

What’s everyone getting into this weekend ? Who’s getting into something new this year?

No alternative text description for this image

🔥 HIRING:  Director of Demand Generation 🔥

Big opportunity to join me and my team here at Seamless.AI during one of the most transformative times in our company history. 

We're looking for: 

- High velocity GTM experience (we bring in hundreds of demos per day through paid, owned and earned channels). This is different than your enterprise motion. 

-Someone who is looking for autonomy (seriously), high budgets to play with and a sales team that is fully supportive. 

-A proven track record of growing revenue for inbound. 

You'll report directly to me and will have a team of 14 to support you. 

Tag someone in the comments that you know would be a great fit for this role. If it's you, apply and DM me directly so I can fast track you. 

 
RIP to my inbox.

Getting into a new role isn't just about being able to do the job - it's whether you can do the job together. 

Start ups are hard. Scale ups are hard. It's supposed to be. 

One thing you can control 100% is who you work with. 

The grass might look greener on the other side. It might pay more money. A lot more.. Have unlimited PTO and benefits that you could only dream of. 

But if that comes along with working with a team that doesn't share at least some of the same values as you, doesn't want you to win. Competes for credit. Undermines your actions.. 

Then you're cooked and I promise..  it's not going to be a fun ride for you.
