Ciaran Connolly

I'm Ciaran Connolly, Founder and Director of ProfileTree, a digital marketing agency based in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Since 2010, I've been helping SMEs across the UK and Ireland grow online through WordPress website design, search engine optimisation (SEO), content marketing, and video production.

What We Do at ProfileTree

ProfileTree is an established digital marketing agency serving clients across Belfast, Northern Ireland, the Republic of Ireland, the UK, and beyond. We specialise in:

• WordPress website design and development - from brochure sites to WooCommerce e-commerce stores, custom builds, and ongoing maintenance
• Search engine optimisation (SEO) - technical SEO, on-page optimisation, local SEO, content strategy, and link building to get businesses ranking on Google
• Content marketing - blog posts, articles, landing pages, and long-form content that drives organic traffic and builds authority
• Video production - corporate videos, explainer videos, YouTube content, testimonial videos, and social media clips

We work with SMEs who want practical results - more traffic, more leads, more customers. No corporate waffle, just digital marketing that actually works.

AI Training and Speaking

I'm one of Ireland's most active AI speakers and trainers. I've delivered practical AI implementation training to 400+ businesses and spoken at 30+ conferences, councils, Chambers of Commerce, enterprise agencies, and industry events across Ireland and the UK.

My focus is helping smaller businesses actually use AI tools like ChatGPT - not just understand what AI is, but use it to save time, improve their marketing, and compete with bigger competitors. Practical application, not theory.

A Bit About Me

I was born in Clones, Co. Monaghan - feels like a lifetime ago now! Moved to Belfast, then spent years on the road working in digital marketing and operations: Kent in England, Dubai in the UAE, and Cairo in Egypt. Eventually made it back home to Belfast to raise my family and keep doing what I love - helping businesses grow online.

14+ years into this journey and I'm still genuinely excited about it. Whether it's building a website that converts, getting a business ranking on Google, producing video content, or showing someone how AI can transform how they work - I love the challenge of figuring out what actually works.

Let's Connect

If we've lost touch over the years, or you'd like to chat about WordPress, web design, SEO, content marketing, video production, YouTube, AI for business, or digital marketing in general - reach out and say hello. Even if you're searching for another Ciaran Connolly and found me by accident, why not connect anyway?

Based in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Always happy to chat.

Have an amazing day - and thanks for checking out my profile!
