Hike was founded by Andrew Allen & Kieran Headley, two experienced SEO’s who came together to create a platform to help small businesses get started in SEO. We’re growing the team to make sure we provide the very best product and service to our users.

  • I’ve been in SEO for 9 years and have helped a HUGE variety of clients, from one-man-bands to international e-commerce retailers. I love teaching people how they can drive more customers and leads through organic search. Being a startup ourselves we know how important this is for new businesses.
