About Tony Van Hart

Tony Van Hart, President and CEO of Momentic, boasts over a decade of digital marketing leadership experience, stemming from his beginnings as a music blog copywriter. Transitioning through various roles in advertising agencies, he honed his skills and developed an unwavering passion for SEO, which has remained the constant thread in his professional life for over a decade. This dedication, combined with his love for working with talented teams, led him to Momentic, a company that places a strong emphasis on SEO.

Three things the my career trajectory says about me:

  1. I'm a big fan of music
  2. I'm a creature of habit - I bounced back and forth between two agencies for a large part of the 2010s, working with smart and talented people, adding diverse skills to my tool box, and uncovering what I want in a workplace.
  3. I love SEO - it's the only through line in my professional life for the last 12 years so when I had the opportunity to join a company that places such a strong emphasis on it with the most talented person I know, I had no choice.

As a marketer, you know that pulling the right levers is essential to success.

But, it's not always easy to figure out when, how much, or how to get buy-in from the business.

That's why we start by creating SEO goals from business goals and existing marketing objectives.

Now back to business goals. We map tasks to results. Then results to KPIs. Then KPIs to objectives. We create a custom Looker dashboard for quick reference and offer deeper explorations throughout the month. Every month we analyze: what happened, why it happened, and what needs to happen. This dials in the strategy—allowing us to align business goals to audience expectations. This is what drives growth.

We're always up to date on data science trends, and we can adapt dashboard views, dimensions, and metrics to the framework your team(s) work in.
