JOHN VICTORIA

BIO:

Polianna.net

John Victoria is the Founder and Owner of Polianna (polianna.net), a

boutique digital marketing agency specializing in helping residential

contractors market their business on search engines.

Before Polianna, John had been an Officer-in-Training at the United

States Naval Academy (USNA) studying Computer Science and

Information Technology. He had attempted to launch several online

ventures in his free time, such as a food delivery app to a mobile-

friendly website development agency. However, none of his ideas

gained traction.

It all changed when John began learning SEO and developed the skills

to rank websites on search engines like Google. He decided to offer

his services as a consultant. Despite a lack of a business background,

John decided to leave his training and go all-in on starting a digital

marketing business. Since 2016, John has grown from a struggling

solopreneur to growing Polianna to be on track to be a million-dollar

company in 2021. Polianna has helped dozens of businesses across the

United States establish their online presence and power their business

through free web traffic from search engines.
