Sherman Hu

Video Podcast Producer, SEO & Google Maps Trusted Street View Photographer

Most businesses lack time and expertise to execute search engine optimization for their websites and Google Business Profile map listing that gets results. Furthermore, most business owners understand customers need to “know, like, and trust” their brand before they buy, yet are not sure how to make this happen.

Sherman’s focus is to help his clients stand out as the trusted brand and win more calls, conversions, and clients. His approach is to analyze what your competition is doing, then help you do it even better.

He helps his clients with producing branded video podcasts, YouTube, TikTok, Spotify, on-page SEO, off-page SEO, engagement SEO, Google Maps optimization, and producing 360 virtual tours of your business for Google Maps.

Career Highlights

Sherman’s 20+ year career includes teaching thousands of business owners throughout North America how to use WordPress, blogging & SEO for business and marketing through video, workshops, and keynotes.

In 2007, Sherman helped a client achieve $3+ million in lifetime value for a network of 20+ cosmetic dentistry websites through website traffic and new walk-in clients.

In 2004, his online artificial pre-lit Christmas tree promotions helped sell 6,000 trees in 2 months, resulting in a multi-million dollar revenue season.

His 2022 focus is helping clients produce weekly short-segment video podcasts so their customers “know, like and trust” their brand, and for increased bookings and sales.

When I’m Away from My Desk

Family is everything to Sherman, and in the summer of 2020, both he and his son savoured an impromptu drive from BC through to the Rockies, chasing every possible lake they could kayak in their inflatables. His daughter, Victoria, married Matt in April 2020, at the height of the pandemic, and they’re currently enjoying a one-year adventure in Italy. Sherman and his wife, Sarah, plan to visit them in Italy later this year, and presently learning Italian so they can converse with locals. It would be a highlight for Sherman to learn how to make pasta and pizza from scratch from an Italian grandma during their visit to Italy. “Molto bene!”

My Client Feedback

“I love how Sherman does what he says he is going to do at the time he says he is going to do it. I definitely recommend him – no hesitation.”

April GrahamOwner & Clinic Manager - CBI Health Centre

“Sherman is absolutely the best SEO I’ve ever come across. I’ve seen my website move up in the search results more than ever before. He’s very good, pays attention to detail, and great at getting back to me quickly.”

Larry JohnsonOwner - Green Light Booking

“After a year of interviewing Google “experts,” I hired Sherman. Why? Because Sherman demonstrated he know how to leverage Google to return on its investment. We have campaigns that Sherman has launched and managed with 260%-325% ROI. Sherman is responsive, he will communicate as much as the client prefers, and he makes himself accountable for the outcomes that the client outlines. If he is not convicted that he can get the client the outcome their desire, consistently, he says no and doesn’t take on the prospect as a client.”

When I’m Away from My Desk

When Sherman’s not in his “bat cave” getting results for clients, he enjoys long walks or drives with his wife, Sarah. Family is everything to Sherman, and in the summer of 2020, both he and his son savoured an impromptu drive from BC through to the Rockies, chasing every possible lake they could kayak in their inflatables. His wonderful daughter, Victoria, married Matt in April 2020, at the height of the pandemic. Witnessing the married couple walk up and down rows of 80-cars of friends and family honking and cheering them on was a memory for the books.
