Treze anos na Google. Uma obsessão muito específica.

Michel van Luijtelaar passou treze anos na Google, terminando o seu mandato como Measurement & Omnichannel Lead para o Sudeste Asiático. Ele foi responsável por implementar novos produtos de medição e melhorar as estratégias de licitação para as maiores equipas de clientes da Google em toda a região.

Nos seus últimos anos na Google, ele trabalhou diretamente nas ferramentas omnicanal que se tornaram a base técnica para a GMBapi.

Co-fundou a GMBapi em 2020 juntamente com Gergan Atanasov, transformando a inteligência operacional e de produto desses anos dentro da Google numa plataforma construída especificamente para a pesquisa local de várias localizações.

A filosofia Google-first no coração da GMBapi — tratar o GBP como a fonte da verdade e distribuir informações de negócios para outras plataformas a partir daí — é dele. É uma arquitetura que ele compreendeu por dentro.

Porque a Sua Perspetiva é Diferente

A maioria das plataformas de SEO local são construídas por profissionais de marketing que observam o comportamento do Google. A GMBapi foi construída por alguém que ajudou a moldar esse comportamento.

A experiência do Michel significa que a plataforma reflete como a pesquisa local realmente funciona ao nível da infraestrutura, não simplesmente como aparece nas SERPs num dia bom.

É mestre em Negócios Internacionais pela Tilburg University e passou toda a sua carreira em marketing e medição baseados em dados: primeiro na Google e agora a construir ferramentas para a indústria de pesquisa local.
