Giovanni Sacheli
SEO Consultant & Search Marketing Specialist
After graduating from Bocconi University in Milan, I became a passionate SEO and PPC consultant. My strong interest in the web and information technology led me to deepen my studies in Web Marketing after graduation, focusing particularly on Google positioning techniques and Search Advertising methodologies.
In December 2009, I launched my blog, EVE Milano, where I write about website optimization for search engines, PPC campaigns with Google Ads, WordPress guides and tutorials, and Web Analytics. Each year, I have the privilege of participating as a speaker at Italy's top Search Marketing events, sharing strategies, practical insights, and case studies.
Searcus Swiss - Agency Ownership
In 2015, I became a partner of Searcus Swiss Sagl, an SEO and PPC agency with offices in Switzerland and Denmark. In 2020, I acquired 100% ownership of the company. At the agency, I'm responsible for SEO projects for our clients - small, medium, and large companies looking to improve their online visibility.
I'm fortunate to do work that I chose, enjoy, and am passionate about - I couldn't ask for more. Over the years, I've specialized in technical SEO, with particular focus on:
- Technical SEO audits
- Market and online competitor analysis
- Website migrations
- Web server log analysis
- Backlink analysis
- Identifying and resolving Google penalties
Total hours dedicated to SEO since 2009: over 40,000.
International Experience
Throughout my career, I've had significant experience in SEO and SEA projects, collaborating with international companies and web agencies, optimizing websites in the UK, Switzerland, France, Germany, Denmark, and of course Italy.
In 2016, I served as a Search Marketing professor at Franklin University Switzerland in Lugano.
Since beginning this wonderful career, I've obtained important SEO and PPC certifications recognized worldwide. To be an effective SEO consultant, it's essential to study and stay constantly updated - those who stop fall behind!

When I'm Not Working
When I'm not in front of the computer, I'm with my family or, on warmer days, crossing mountain passes on my motorcycle. I've visited the five highest mountain passes in Europe (with paved roads), including Col de la Bonette, Colle dell'Iseran, and Colle del Gran San Bernardo.
My passions include motorcycling through Alpine passes, spending time with my family, and continuous learning in programming languages like Python, HTML, PHP, CSS, and JavaScript - all self-taught through online resources and books.
