About Wellington Whales: a letter from the founder.

If you've been in business long enough, you know the story. You hire an agency. They send you a monthly report showing a green arrow: "Traffic is up 20%." Everyone high-fives.

But the revenue line on your P&L statement hasn't moved.

I know this story because I can finish the sentences of most Marketing Directors I meet. The industry is obsessed with the appearance of success (organic traffic). The reality of it (profit) comes second.

My name is Jerry Wellington Zheng. I founded Wellington Whales to fix this disconnect.

I don't practice on your site. I practice on mine.

Most agencies use your budget to test unproven theories. I don't.

Before I ever touch a client's site, I test my strategies on my own assets. I built S&L Beauty Company, an e-commerce brand, from $0 to multi-six figures in revenue using strictly SEO. I know the anxiety of payroll and inventory. I know that "ranking #1" means nothing if the visitor doesn't pull out their credit card.

From NYSE to Google Maps

My experience isn't limited to one type of business. I work at both ends of the spectrum:

  1. The Enterprise Scale: I've spent the last 9 years leading SEO and content teams for some of the biggest names in North American tech and finance, including Wealthsimple ($610M Series C), Dayforce (NYSE: DAY) and Photomath (acquired by Google). I know how to navigate complex compliance, data analysis and product marketing at that scale.
  2. The Local Engine: I know the trenches of Local SEO. I rebuilt the entire SEO program for a local marketing agency. The system I built took their client from 40 to 150+ locations in 12 months (260% growth). Franchise or single-location boutique, I know how to turn Google Maps visibility into foot traffic.

Where I got it wrong

I've failed at this too. Early in my career I was on a team that tried to outsmart Google by over-optimizing internal links. We thought it was clever. Google thought otherwise. We lost rankings and revenue.

That failure taught me sustainable growth is boring. It's built on data, technical health and user intent.

Bringing the Standard to Asia

I started Wellington Whales to bring this North American standard to the Asian markets. Hong Kong, Singapore, China: the principles of high-intent search stay the same.

I don't want to be a vendor you tolerate. I want to be the partner who helps you secure your market share.

If you're ready to stop optimizing for pageviews and start optimizing for your bottom line, let's talk.
