Hello, my name is Katelyn (Fogarty) Pendarvis and I’ve been working at Acquia since 2011 in the marketing department. I didn’t start out in marketing, that was a shift that happened over time. I was always interested in computers and web programming since middle school. I went to art school for interactive media design and graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in 2007 and my first job was graphics and web designer at a small agency in Beverly, MA.

I recently used acquia.com to demonstrate how to increase site traffic on a Drupal website by improving the online marketing. This conversation made me think that I could share some of the key things I do on acquia.com with other Drupal site managers. For starters, SEO, or search engine optimization, is a huge focus for me and there are some great tools in Drupal to help with this.
