Work with the best Digital Marketing Strategist in London–Barcelona
Alex Costin is a seasoned Digital Marketing Strategist trained in London marketing environments and now delivering high‑impact campaigns for businesses in Barcelona and beyond, covering English, Spanish, French, and Italian markets. With a proven track record in SEO, PPC, content, social‑media, and website development, he can help your brand dominate search and AI‑driven intent.
Digital Marketing Strategist excellence
Landing page quality refers to how well a page meets user‑intent, technical SEO requirements, and Core Web Vitals standards. A high‑quality landing page is fast to load, easy to navigate, and fully aligned with the keyword and search intent, which increases click‑through rates and time‑on‑site.
High landing‑page quality is critical because it directly affects how search engines and AI‑driven discovery systems rank and recommend content. Strong technical performance, clear hierarchy, and aligned content signals trust and relevance, which boosts positions in organic search and helps AI‑assisted search and recommendation tools surface your pages ahead of slower, less‑optimized competitors.
You can see this excellence in practice by reviewing three projects that achieve a 100/100 PageSpeed Score (Performance, Accessibility, Best Practices, SEO) on Google’s PageSpeed Insights:
These pages demonstrate how a 100/100 score can be achieved through careful technical optimization, semantic HTML, and modern front‑end architecture.

Market Research
The data and frameworks Alex uses in market research—primary and secondary research, competitor keyword mapping, and customer‑behaviour analysis—equip your business to uncover opportunities that most competitors miss. By combining global search‑trend data with on‑the‑ground insights, he helps you build a complete view of your target audience and position your brand ahead of rivals in both organic and paid channels.
Website Development
Alex can deliver a new, high‑performance website in as little as two weeks, built on a fresh server using Drupal and Bootstrap, with a 100/100 PageSpeed Score. Most local competitors rely on generic WordPress templates that are slow, bloated, and technically weak; your new Drupal‑Bootstrap site will outperform them in speed, accessibility, and SEO, giving you a significant edge in regional and national search rankings.
SEO
By combining precise keyword research with maximum landing‑page quality, Alex ensures your site ranks for high‑intent, commercially valuable terms. In addition, his off‑page backlink network—from over 5,000 blog posts he has created plus another 5,000 from partner websites—creates a powerful authority signal that very few UK businesses can match, giving your brand a sustainable advantage in organic search.
Artificial Intelligence
Alex uses AI at an expert level to accelerate content creation, social‑media planning, and campaign optimization, without losing strategic depth. This allows him to produce high‑volume, engaging content and targeted social‑media campaigns while minimizing manual repetitive work, helping you save money on third‑party content teams or agencies and freeing your internal resources for higher‑value tasks.
Performance
He delivers weekly performance reports that track traffic, conversions, cost‑per‑lead, and ROI across channels. These reports feed directly into a continuous‑improvement cycle: Alex identifies possible improvements, discusses them with your decision‑makers, and then implements tested changes. This rhythm of measurement, iteration, and implementation steadily increases your marketing ROI over time.
