Who is Jake Hundley?
There’s a lot to who I am, but the most important detail for you is that I am a data-oriented and ROI-focused SEO expert.
I’ve co-owned an SEO agency with my business partner since 2019 and frequently write for established and reputable search engine and marketing publications.
That’s my team.
Which version of me do you want to get to know?
SEO Agency Owner
I’ve been a founder and co-owner with my business partner at Evergrow Marketing since 2019. A leading lawn & landscape marketing agency.
SEO & Marketing Blogger
I love sharing things I’ve learned through writing, whether that’s basic fundamentals on my personal sites or publishing more advanced things in major SEO publications.
Over 10 Years in SEO
I started in marketing and SEO back in 2015 at Mudd Advertising in Cedar Falls, Iowa, an automotive marketing agency. I haven’t stopped since then.
Top Mod of r/Agency
r/Agency is Reddit’s most active subreddit for agency owners and discussions. I’ve been the top moderator of that sub since 2025.
Agency Podcast Host
My business partner and I co-host one of the largest agency podcasts out there (The Agency Growth Podcast), currently with over 200 weekly episodes.
Scientific SEO / AIO Researcher
This is a fancy way of saying I conduct my own studies rather than read what other people are saying. I’ve done some of the most comprehensive SEO myth-busting out there.
Semi-Pro Paintball Player
My biggest hobby outside of work is that I play semi-professional paintball with the KC Missouri Allstars in the National Xball League (NXL).
Obsessive Dog Dad
Dogs are mine and my wife’s life. We travel with ours, and they enjoy daily home-cooked meals. I like cats too, but dogs change you.
Long Distance Athlete
Outside of paintball, I’m one of those semi-psychotic people that loves long distance runs and triathlons. I’m wearing my half-ironman hat while writing this.
Avid Traveler
Life is short, and I want to see the world, specifically with my wife. Every year we try to go to a few new places. Places like Japan, Portugal, and Colombia.
Not a Sports Guy
I’m fairly athletic and play a sport at the semi-professional level… but don’t ask me to name any players on any professional sports team. I can’t do it.
Big Fan of the Outdoors
I spend 90% of my time at my desk on a computer, but invite me to do literally anything outdoors, and you’ll get a “yes” from me 100% of the time.
