Steven Shelton

Founder and CEO of Synced Marketing in Texas and Lead Instructor at StevenSheltonTV.com, offering free SEO education to small businesses.

Toward the end of a long, successful career representing carpenters throughout the United States, Steven Shelton began preparing to retire before his 50th birthday. Knowing that 50 years old was too young to just stop working, Mr. Shelton began learning about real estate investing. Starting in single-family homes, he quickly learned that finding people willing to sell distressed houses at steep discounts was the greatest challenge. He knew ranking on the first page of Google search results would be a huge advantage. After growing frustrated with wasting money on "SEO" companies who charged a fortune, promised the front page of Google, and then couldn't be reached after they received payment, he decided to learn to do his own SEO. Very quickly, Mr. Shelton discovered that there is a clear formula for getting a website to rank high in Google, and Google actually teaches everyone that formula for free! Ranking high in Google is not magic, it just takes a lot of work. After realizing not only that he was good at SEO but also that he loved the competitive nature of moving a website from obscurity to the top of Google search results, Mr. Shelton began offering his services to others. Even before he had an SEO agency website of his own, he was showing other businesses how to rank better, and many of those businesses started paying him to handle their SEO. Mr. Shelton's personal involvement with every client and his passion to beat the competition has made Synced Marketing stand out from the crowd. To further satisfy his passion for helping others, Mr. Shelton started StevenSheltonTV.com, offering free video training to show small businesses how to rank their own websites in their local markets.
