Elijah Paul Dela Cruz

I was born and raised in Imus, Cavite, Philippines. Spent most of my school years there too, until I moved to Manila for college. I took up a B.S. in Information Technology at Philippine Christian University. I wasn’t exactly a fan of the daily commute and the traffic in the city, which is probably why I’ve been working remotely since I was 18. Just made more sense for me!

I started my career as an SEO writer for an automotive media website here in the Philippines. I was then the youngest member of the media in the country (since I started at 18), which is something I’ll always be proud of!

It was a great start for me since, as a motorcycle enthusiast, trying out bikes and reviewing them for work is like a win-win situation lol. After my long stay there, I also worked as an SEO evergreen writer for another automotive website, but this time for one of the prominent ones in the United States.

Before I worked with RehabCEOs, I was an SEO specialist, social media manager, and scriptwriter for a local lead generation company based in San Francisco, CA.

My Core Values:

1. Just always show up
2. Discipline over motivation
3. Finding joy in small wins

I make sure all our clients have well-ranked sites. I mainly handle the on-page and technical SEO, plus blog content and everything in between.

If the leads are low and their site isn’t ranking, I’ll find what’s not working and turn it around. That’s what I do!

I like solving the bizarre stuff. Like when two sites follow the exact same SEO strategy but only one of them ranks. That’s when I dig in and figure out what’s really going on. Those are the problems that I really enjoy solving.

I used to cringe when I read stuff like this or heard it from other people. But RehabCEOs really do treat you like family. The way everyone communicates and looks out for each other is on another level. Being part of a company that actually makes me feel appreciated—not like I’m easily replaceable—makes me want to show up and give 1000x more.

Plus, helping clinic owners and seeing them grow with the company’s support genuinely warms my heart!

When I’m not working, I absolutely LOVE motorcycles. If I’ve got the time, I’m out riding and getting some fresh air and some coffee. I’ve got four dogs, so yeah, I’m a dog person for sure. I’m also into basketball, hitting the gym, running, gaming, and I am also a bassist for a local band!
