Michael de Beer , analytics, experimentation and SEO consultant

I help marketing teams measure what matters, test what they ship, and get found in search. Twenty years of it, from Disney and Universal Orlando to owner-run businesses.

Now, through DigiBlender AI, I also unify your marketing data into one automated pipeline and use AI to forecast revenue, conversions and churn before they happen.

What I can help with

Four areas, one goal: decisions your team can defend with data.

  • Analytics & tracking

    GA4, Adobe Analytics and Tag Manager set up so the numbers in your reports match what actually happened.

    • GA4 audits and migrations
    • GTM & Adobe Launch data layers
    • Ads, Floodlight & pixel tracking
    • Looker Studio, Tableau & Power BI dashboards
  • Experimentation & CRO

    A/B, multivariate and personalisation programs that decide with evidence instead of opinion, and a backlog ranked by expected value.

    • Test program design & governance
    • Adobe Target & Optimizely
    • Customer-journey and funnel analysis
    • Landing page optimization
  • SEO & site migrations

    Technical SEO and replatforming without losing the rankings you already earned, from schema markup to 500-URL redirect maps.

    • Technical & international SEO
    • WordPress-to-headless migrations
    • Schema / JSON-LD and log-file analysis
    • Keyword and competitor research
  • AI for business

    Through DigiBlender AI, I help small and midsize businesses cut costs, automate repetitive clerical work and turn their data into revenue, with fixed-fee engagements that start with a $1,500 audit.

    • AI strategy
    • AI automation
    • AI marketing
    • AI + analytics
    • Predictive analytics
    • AI training
  • Also: Google Ads, email, HubSpot and social media marketing. See all services

How an engagement runs

Measurement first, because a test on broken data proves nothing.

  1. Step 1: Audit

    I review your tracking, your site and your search visibility, and tell you what is broken and what it is costing.

  2. Step 2: Fix the measurement

    Tags, data layer and dashboards get cleaned up first, because every later decision depends on them.

  3. Step 3: Test and improve

    We run a prioritized backlog of experiments and SEO work and report the results in revenue, not clicks.

  4. Step 4: Hand over

    Your team gets the documentation, dashboards and playbooks to keep going without me.

I was online before most of the internet was

I’ve lived and worked across Africa, Asia and North America, and I speak four languages, so I tend to think about audiences beyond the one in the room.

I was around for the early days of email marketing, RSS and Twitter, and I’ve seen more 404 pages than hot meals. That history is useful: most tracking and SEO problems today are old problems in new tools.

Today I consult independently and run DigiBlender AI, helping small businesses put AI to practical use.
