Ryan Kelly

A mechanical engineer by trade, Ryan Kelly has developed a passion and expertise for search engine optimization and web analytics.

Ryan started Pear Analytics in early 2008 after spending 5 years building an interactive agency, and has built several award-winning tools to help companies get a handle on their SEO activity. The tools received attention from several angel and VC firms, and he later chose to work with the founders of Rackspace Managed Hosting (NYSE: RAX) in an angel deal to help take the products to a new level.

While Pear continues to develop their SaaS applications, Ryan continues to provide enterprise-level consulting to a number of multi-national clients and frequently speaks to groups about how to leverage SEO for maximum benefit. His last talk was at the Search Marketing Expo in New York City last October where he spoke about the comparison between a salesperson and your website and how to know what you should spend on SEO services.
