I learned SEO on
live sites.
No shortcuts. Every method I use today was first tried on a site that had to earn money for its owner.
I am Raja Hamza Asghar, founder and CEO of Digital Hamza and an SEO strategist with 10+ years in the trade. I started as an intern in Islamabad in 2016, have delivered 50+ projects for clients in 6+ countries, and I personally handle each new client's SEO for the first 3 months.
My first job was an internship at GetNetDigitals in March 2016. Six months in, I ran my first solo campaign. Nothing teaches you faster than a real site with a real owner waiting on it.
A barber in Leeds taught me the lesson I repeat most. He wanted steady clients every month, not a one-time spike. We tidied his Google Business Profile, fixed his categories and listings, and put a QR code at the door so real customers could leave honest reviews. 797 genuine reviews later, he gets about 138 real leads a month. No blog post did that.
The other lesson is less pretty. Most failures I am called in to fix are technical, like the American fence site whose pages were all blocked from Google. So I check crawling and indexing first. Keywords can wait a day.
I cannot promise you position one. Google decides that. I promise the work, and a report that tells you the truth about it. Raja Hamza Asghar
