Jason Berkowitz is the Founder and SEO Director at Break The Web. In this role, he leads the agency in delivering SEO and content success to in-house marketing teams at DTC and B2C brands, all while making SEO a little less painful along the way.

The part of the job he enjoys most is the R&D side and finding new angles, testing new approaches, and figuring out smarter ways to get to the same destination.

Advice For Anyone Joining The Industry
- Stay open-minded. SEO and the people who’ve lasted in it are here because they know how to adapt & evolve. This industry has always changed, and it’s changing faster now than ever. The thing you just figured out, the approach you finally got comfortable with, expect it to shift. Sometimes overnight. If you can roll with that instead of fighting it, you’ll be fine.
Areas Of Interest
- Larger SEO strategy and information architecture. Understanding how a site is structured, how content connects, and how all the pieces fit together to support a business goal. The technical and on-page stuff matters, but it’s most useful when it’s in service of a bigger picture.
Education, Awards, Certifications
- No formal SEO education. Learned it the hard way, through trial and error, and honestly still am. That’s kind of the point.
- Won a U.S. Search Award for Best Use of Search (SEO).
