Colan began his career in the local SEO world back in 2010. He became a Google Product Expert at the Google My Business forum in 2014.
This allowed him the opportunity to help 1000s of business owners navigate the often confusing world of Google My Business.
In 2017 he joined the Sterling Sky team as VP of Local Search, and has served as a faculty member at LocalU and an administrator at the Local Search Forum, both affiliate organizations of Sterling Sky, since coming on board.
Colan Nielsen is also an author at publications such as Search Engine Land and Moz.
When he isn’t doing local SEO, you can find him spending time with his lovely wife, son and daughter.
