Scott Wilson

Scott Wilson’s career began with a video camera. At an early age, he turned his hobby of video production into a business when he was hired to document the 2002 Arnold Schwarzenegger Fitness Weekend in Columbus, Ohio. His work was warmly commended by Arnold himself, and Wilson left with a glowing letter of reference and a newly fueled passion for editing to found his own video production firm, eMotion Picture Studios.

With business growing, in 2004 Scott hired a Search Engine Optimization (SEO) consultant to boost eMotion’s Google rankings. The disappointing result: a hefty bill and no ranking change. Taking many of the same skills and scientific approach to research that had made eMotion a leader in its trade show/Internet streaming video categories, and aided by government research grants, Scott and his staff trained their sights on deciphering the factors that determined search engine rankings. They quickly began implementing SEO solutions for video production clients and in 2006 they created RankHigher, a company dedicated to boosting search engine rankings. From then to now, eMotion has consistently maintained a #1 or #2 position in Google rankings for the term “trade show video”. Married with three children, Scott lives in Burlington, Ontario.
