About
Hi, I'm Jay Ong
Penang-born. Engineer-trained. Australia-based. And completely obsessed with helping small businesses get found on Google.
I built This Jay because I kept seeing the same problem: brilliant small business owners with incredible services, invisible on Google. They'd pour money into ads with no long-term return, while their competitors quietly dominated local search.
My engineering background means I treat SEO like a system - every piece has a purpose, every action is measured, nothing is guesswork. My marketing obsession means I never lose sight of the goal: real customers, real revenue, real growth.
If you run a local business in Australia and want to be the first name people see when they search for what you do - let's talk.
The Path That Got Me Here
Born and raised in Penang
Grew up on the island of Penang, Malaysia - a place known for its food, culture, and hustle. Developed a love for problem-solving and technology early on.
Trained as an engineer
Studied and worked as an engineer, where I developed the analytical mindset that would later power my approach to SEO strategy. Precision, systems thinking, and data-driven decisions became second nature.
Discovered digital marketing
The shift from engineering to digital marketing felt natural - both are about solving problems with systems. I fell in love with SEO for its measurability and the direct impact it has on small businesses.
Made Australia home
Received permanent residency in Australia - a proud milestone. Began building deep roots in the Australian market and understanding how local businesses here compete for customers.
Launched This Jay
Founded my own SEO consultancy to bring engineering precision and genuine care to Australian small businesses. My mission: help local businesses compete online without wasting money.
