SEO Experts In Santa Barbara
Jacques Habra | General Manager
Jacques Habra’s entrée into the Internet space took place in 1995 with the launch of the award-winning Web development agency, Web Elite.
Jacques built the company into a 35 person perennial leader in the span of five years. As the company’s headquarters in Ann Arbor, MI spread to regional offices in New York City and San Francisco, companies like Sun Microsystems, General Motors, and Wells Fargo turned to Jacques to develop their on-line strategies.
Jacques sold Web Elite in 2002 and focused on his already established private equity and consulting firm, Noospheric, LLC. Jacques launched FirstClickSEO in early 2007. Jacques explains, “We had been providing on-line marketing and search engine optimization services for some time.” “We never expected the results and return on investment to be as successful,” Jacques continues.
As FirstClickSEO General Manager, Jacques oversees the client management division ensuring complete satisfaction and driving the research and development investment of the firm.

Mark Keller | Technology Manager
Mark started his venture into the Internet marketing field more than 11 years ago at the ambitious age of 16. Mark had already established himself as an expert in the field of SEO, and a local Santa Barbara based company aggressively engaged his services. During this first formal SEO tenure, Mark established innovative processes and techniques while managing multiple client’s SEO goals.
Mark developed a core competency in several programming languages that he uniquely applied to the art of SEO. Mark’s strength in connecting the dots between advanced programming languages and the marketing aspects of increased rankings resulted in success for every client Mark worked with. From this established vantage point, Mark launched his own consulting practice providing high end SEO services. In late 2006, Mark and Jacques joined FirstClickSEO to build the SEO practice and extend the already proven success story.
In positive contrast, Mark is both a great people person as well as a Master of Technology.
