About Me

A hands-on approach to websites, SEO, and AI search.

I’m Martin Hey, the owner of MartinHey.com in Compton, Illinois. I work directly with small businesses across Northern Illinois and remotely nationwide on web design, SEO, and analytics—with a business-minded approach and straightforward communication.

Background & Skills

Business training behind the web work

I have an MBA, a master’s in accounting, and a CPA background. I bring that training in analysis, measurement, and detail to website planning and SEO. My portfolio shows how I apply it through client work and independent product development.

My Approach

Understand the goal, build carefully, then improve

I do not think every business needs the biggest site or the most expensive package. The goal is to choose the right approach, build what is useful now, and leave room to improve later.

What I enjoy about the work

I enjoy combining business thinking, design, analysis, and hands-on technical work. For Global Optical Eye Care, that includes service content, an appointment inquiry flow, promotions, and local-search setup. With QuickAudit, I’m developing clearer ways to explain website audit findings and next steps.
