Jon was originally trained as a fine portrait photographer at Brooks Institute of Photography in Santa Barbara, California. His business sense and marketing prowess propelled his portrait studio to be the most prestigious, successful studio in the state of Idaho for many years.

His desire to learn online marketing led him to research SEO to keep his portrait site on page one. Eventually, his enthusiasm for fine portraiture matched that of his passion for the search engine optimization industry.

Over time,  he and his younger brother Zach, became convinced that the opportunities represented by the growing need for companies to have an edge over the competition…and edge that gave them the coveted first page of search engine results, would be a very exciting field to be involved in.

In a joint venture with his brother, Zach the duo worked tirelessly for years, eventually becoming recognized as experts in link building, SEO, social media and digital marketing. With their drive to deliver “Page One” results for their clients, the pair launched the aptly-named custom link building firm, Page One Power.

Years later, with the skilled brothers at the helm, Page One Power has since gone on to become widely recognized as the leader in the link building world.

Ball, despite owning an operating two successful companies, and being industry expert who routinely speaks at industry trade shows and other events, is still an approachable, friendly guy. If you happen to see him at a trade show such as SES, or SMX, you’ll know him by his gentle, charismatic manner and his non-geeky appearance.

It’ll be readily apparent that he is at his finest when in the company of others who are interested in the world of link building. He loves opportunities to meet and interact with anyone interested in the industry, so be sure to reach out if you see him.
