Joshua James Laughtland

Founder, SEO Engineer, Webmaster and Search Marketing Consultant

Josh is a rare breed of SEO – his background in programming, database architecture, web design and site development is apparent with his ability to obtain stellar keyphrase rankings for not only Jtree clients, but for his own websites as well.

Josh has been utilizing the Internet to help businesses drive quality traffic to their web content for well over a decade, and is the Founder of Jtree.net and SEOBoise.com – two of Idaho’s best ranked SEO websites.

For years, he has been the Internet Marketing go-to guru many companies have come to rely upon, including the author of SEO for Dummies.

Josh grew up in the Coeur d’Alene, Idaho and Spokane, Washington area and was born in Rapid City, South Dakota. He is a Boise State University (think blue turf) Business Management graduate with a heavy emphasis on Computer Information Systems (CIS), Networking and Telecommunications.

He launched Jtree after a stint in San Francisco working for startup iSaySo.com turned LesConcierges.com during the Y2K dot com era, and has been growing his company ever since.

When not behind a machine, he can typically be found somewhere in the backcountry of the northwest with either a backpack or snowboard, and has even been featured in National Geographic Traveler Magazine (amongst others) as a guide to Boise area hot springs. Oh, and IdahoHotSprings.com, he runs that too.
