About

12 years turning search traffic into site traffic and revenue for hundreds of clients around the world

Jacque is the Founder and Chief Optimizer at Capconvert, a search marketing agency headquartered in the cradle of innovation - San Francisco, CA.

He's generated more than $500 million of revenue for 300+ clients at every stage and in almost every category, from early stage startups to publicly traded corporations in eCommerce, SaaS, service, brick and mortar, and more.

His approach starts from first principles. Most of search marketing runs on secondhand advice and recycled tactics; Jacque tunes out the noise and grounds every recommendation in what the platforms have actually confirmed, from Google's documentation to each engine's published guidelines, not blog-post hearsay. Getting the fundamentals right first is what makes everything after it compound, and it is the standard he holds every Capconvert engagement to.

While the platforms have changed, Jacque's focus remains the same as it's always been - helping businesses get found by their customers on the platforms they use to find them. He spends his time anchoring Capconvert's service programs to the quality pillars that everything at the agency is measured against, carrying its clients into the next era of search marketing with the fundamentals intact.

Editorial standards

How Capconvert content is reviewed

Capconvert articles are drafted by Cortex, the agency's search-intelligence system, and then held to a human standard of accuracy before anything is published. Jacque is the person accountable for that standard.

  1. 1Drafted by Cortex. Each post is researched and written by the agency's search-intelligence system against current SERP and AI-engine data.
  2. 2Reviewed by Jacque. He reviews every Capconvert blog post for factual accuracy, source quality, and alignment with current search guidance before it goes live.
  3. 3Cited and corrected. Factual claims are tied to authoritative sources, and anything that cannot be verified is removed or revised.
  4. 4Kept current. Posts are revisited as search engines and AI answer engines change, so guidance does not go stale.
For Your Money or Your Life (YMYL) topics, where accuracy can affect a reader's finances or decisions, Jacque is the named author rather than the reviewer, and is directly accountable for the content.
