Green Gorilla is an organic CBD manufacturer and distributor both wholesale and online. I began working full-time for Green Gorilla in early 2018, at a time when CBD products were just legalized and starting to explode as a widely recognized supplement. I was immediately put in charge of managing their 8 – 10 websites, domains, and dedicated server, where all of these sites were hosted. Besides maintenance, my job was to create a new strategy for their main website (ilovegreengorilla.com) to increase our online sales and online presence through SEO, online marketing/advertising, a new website design, and optimizing our website speed and usability.
