Bio
Michael Petruniak
I worked closely with Stephanie on implementing SEO best practices and strategies on a number of Valpak's websites; including our lead-generating B2B website and our consumer-facing blog. She generated Lighthouse reports for these websites and we methodically addressed and remedied each pain point. Stephanie pioneered our mobile-first mentality, identified all candidates in our content for rich snippets, and instructed the Design and Development teams on layouts optimal for content consumption and lead generation. Stephanie is incredibly passionate and knowledgable in SEO strategy. I would recommend her for any SEO leadership position.

I am writing this recommendation of Stephanie Zandecki in her role as Manager of Digital Optimization & Strategy due to Stephanie’s great spirit, professionalism, knowledge, and contributions as a digital marketer and team member. Stephanie is an amazingly talented digital marketer. She is professionally curious and continuously strives to learn new technologies, business strategies, and ways to help the enterprise’s brands including Valpak, Savings.com, and Savoo. Under her leadership, Stephanie has been responsible for helping tens of thousands of local businesses with vastly improving their Internet visibility by employing search engine optimization (SEO) and content optimization strategies. Some clients have seen a doubling and tripling in their Internet responses. With Savings.com, Stephanie helped grow Valpak’s affiliate organic search traffic by over 70% in 2017, . Stephanie also leads Valpak’s business to business (B2B) SEO efforts to drive lead generation for Valpak (small to medium businesses looking to use advertising to grow their business). Leads delivered grew 200%+ over the last 3 years via organic search, and Stephanie was primarily responsible for formulating and executing the strategies to grow this part of the business. Stephanie is a self-starter and considered a go-to person at Valpak. As a senior leader, I knew that once I gave Stephanie a project to manage or problem to solve, it would be taken care of. She is a highly collaborative leader working across every division and department across the organization. She is extremely reliable and always manages projects on time and on budget. One last point is that Stephanie is a pleasure to work with. Stephanie is highly regarded and respected by her coworkers. She has a friendly personality, and is a joy to work with. Stephanie is an amazing team member, and I have enjoyed working with her.
