Birmingham, AL – March 10, 2022 – After a close friendship and years of collaboration, Keith Kakadia and Blake Akers have joined forces to add a new SEO division to Kakadia’s firm, Sociallyin.
“We met when I was first starting my company and Keith was planning a move to the Birmingham market for Sociallyin. At first, we thought we were competitors but then quickly realized our services were complimentary.” – Blake Akers
Several years later after time spent in Birmingham, Keith chose to move Sociallyin to a larger market shortly before Blake and his team opted to join forces with them and start up the new SEO-focused division.
Now, Atlanta-based Sociallyin is a social media marketing firm and world-class content production studio. Founded by Keith, the company helps clients with social media strategy and execution.
A graduate of the University of Mississippi with a marketing degree, Keith says he began “slinging ads on the Internet” when he was 15.
Today, he’s the CEO of a company that works with major brands, like Dick’s Sporting Goods, the Winter Olympics, Carnival Cruise Lines, TGI Fridays, Samsung and more to help them use social media to their best advantage.
He’s also an in-demand speaker and hosts the Southern Social Summit, one of the largest social media marketing conferences in the southern United States. Keith is set to present as a keynote speaker at the B2B Conference in Los Angeles next month.
Blake Akers started Webology, a science-based search engine optimization company, in Birmingham in 2016. He’s spent over 7 years perfecting his craft and studying search engine algorithms. A military veteran with over 20 years of experience in information technology and related fields, Akers rapidly picked up SEO as a skillset and has been on the cutting edge of that field for years now.
Science-based SEO takes a data first approach to search engine optimization. Webology, now SEO by Sociallyin, is the only Alabama-based agency certified in Scientific SEO and also one of a handful globally that hold that distinct honor.
“SEO used to just be about following best practices. In recent years, a few of us in the community have pioneered new methods for reverse-engineering a path to Google ranking based on the scientific method. We compile source code from top-ranking competitor websites, and we use it to build a better webpage that quickly outranks those competitors. I’ve spent the last 7 years refining that process to the point that I’m confident offering guaranteed SEO results in almost every case.” – Blake Akers
At Webology, Blake focused mainly on clients in the home services industry, including roofing, and HVAC. He also worked with medical, dental, and eCommerce clients to great success.
He’ll help the same types of clients improve their organic ranking and see dramatic results at Sociallyin. But he has added large and midsize brands to the list of clients they work with.
Other services include managing pay-per-click advertising campaigns, website design and development, YouTube SEO, content marketing, email outreach, conversion rate optimization, and digital PR.
Webology is now offline but will return soon with a new name and an entirely different mission.
Instead of being a client-facing agency, Webology Publishing, a partner to Sociallyin, will focus on building and monetizing content marketing sites through affiliate offers and eCommerce opportunities. Akers has already successfully monetized several websites through content marketing and SEO efforts, so it’s a natural progression for them to continue working in that direction as the client-facing agency grows.
“I’m very excited about welcoming Blake and his team to our company,” Keith said. “Their depth of experience and unmatched SEO expertise will be a huge asset to Sociallyin. We’ve collaborated on so many projects over the years, joining forces made sense. And 2022 seemed like the perfect time to do it.” – Keith Kakadia
Blake will run the SEO by Sociallyin division from their Birmingham office. Keith will continue to consolidate operations from the main headquarters in Atlanta.
