About Craig Riley
With over 15 years experience building websites and ranking them
My name is Craig Riley, I am a Zimbabwean WordPress website designer and SEO Specialist
Firstly, thank you for visiting ZAXEO.
For over 15 years I have been building WordPress websites for clients around the world and ranking them across multiple search engines for their target keywords.
There is something beautiful about how a website can appear at the top of search engines like Google and what it takes to get a brand new website there.
It is the “seo game” which drives me and keeps me doing it.
If you would like to learn how I can help you and your company website, get in touch with me and lets arrange a time to speak.
Where it all began
Many years ago, when I was living in the United Kingdom I used to work for an online directory and one of the biggest road blocks I received from businesses was “my websites brings in enough new business”.
I set out to learn about websites so I could better understand their situation and I would be able to sell my premium service to them.
I purchased a domain, setup hosting and began to read and watch everything I could online so I could build and and rank my webiste.
What happened next blew me away…
My website started to rank on Google and my website went from no one viewing it to 1000s of views daily. I followed many guides and it worked. I then started to build local websites that emulated a real business to see if these techniques would work and they did. I was able to get local rankings for my webiste.
Where I am now is all down to me wanting to get more sales in that small online directory.
Today, I run and manage 12 websites of my own and I manage 100s of webites for clients of mine in Zimbabwe and other countries.
Family time is the best
Some would say that I am a late bloomer whern it comes to marriage and babies and I tend to agree but what a good decision.
My beautiful wife Tamlyn and our baby boy Jackson are my everything.
As of writing this page, Jackson is 2 yrs and 5 months and one of the things I love is seeing him grow on a daily basis.
He brings me massive joy.
Water Polo Coach
When I am not working at my desk, I coach water polo at Christian Brothers College [CBC].
I have been doing this for around 12 years and it is something I will be doing for the coming future.
It is something that brings me joy, seeing kids grow and challenge themselves not only for themselves but for their team.
For the first time in 25 years CBC won the coverted “Crusaders Shield” this year 2024. Something that has eluded coaches and teams for years. A very proud moment in my life!
In 2025, you will be able to find me coaching in CBC’s new olympic water polo pool.
