Jill Whalen

Jill Whalen was a search engine optimization (SEO) consultant, speaker and writer. Whalen was CEO of High Rankings, and co-founder of Search Engine Marketing New England (SEMNE). She was a regular speaker at Search Engine Strategies Conferences. High Rankings included a top-rated SEO discussion forum.[1]

Whalen has been quoted as an authority by major publications including The Wall Street Journal,[2] and Inc.[3] She has also written search engine optimization articles for business websites including ClickZ[4] and Search Engine Land.[5]

Career

Whalen was a stay-at-home mother with three children when she started an online parenting chat room. When the chat room became so popular that the members, who lived across the nation, wanted a website to house their forums, Whalen "began by examining listings that came up when entering a phrase such as 'parenting chat,' and then made sure those words were incorporated into her page. From there, she learned how to program and began experimenting."[6][7]

Post retirement

On October 30, 2013, Whalen announced her retirement from SEO. [8] She is currently devoting her time to transformation of body, mind and spirit and assisting others with lifestyle and business change. [9]

Whalen grew up in Framingham, Massachusetts and attended UMass Amherst, graduating with a degree in sociology.[6] She lives in Ashland, Massachusetts with her husband and three children.[10]
