Urban Geeks
At home in Italy
Like all good Italians I have the standard three plus a family name to my credit. My name is Leda Maria Gabriella Sannino. I was born (1960) in Italy raised in the Middle East graduated from an American University. This may be some of the reasons I enjoy talking about politics the Internet and starting a revolution. After getting my BA in Communication I decided to do what I love most and that was talking and cooking… So I opened a Cafe. After 5 years of running this Cafe in SF I got C.T.S. It was then that I dove into the dot.com in the early 90’s the rest is history.
I fancy myself as an Italian rocker, rebel and SEO geek. I love online marketing. I love thinking of new ways to get my clients visible. I love singing in the shower and keep a notepad next to my bed. I wish I could say something earth shattering and enlightening, but I am not that creative on the spot. Give me some time I may surprise you.
Now a little more about Urban SEO. It was brought into being as a place to dig in the dirt of optimization. Optimizers, copywriters, coders and submitters are all welcome to add their two-cents about SEO, SEM and everything in between. Eventually I will invite different SEO/SEM marketers to join this blog. I want to see everything out there maybe you are interested let me know.
While I don’t use this blog to sell my services, I am available for consulting and/or training opportunities with any business or individual that wants some help doing business better online. Contact me and let’s open the discussion

As eclectic goes, I believe you and your very cool journey defines the word.
After reading your truly lovely Tweet, I came over here in earnest. I had been here before but only skimmed. Now, for the past half hour or so, I’ve been reading. Let me call it the way I see it – This is a GREAT site! Honestly, well done!
And I love amidst SEO, social marketing, etc., there’s a food section that, so far, is centering on wine. Very cool! (wish I could think up a better phrase)
If it’s ok with you, I’ll be a regular visitor. I just bought my Urban-SEO Passport (the ad said “For Fun and Adventure, Come Visit Urban-SEO!”)
Hello Gabriel I know the food thing is way out of left field but my family made their own wine for 6 generations. They still do actually in the Sorrento region. One of my passions is food I actully ran a successful restaurant in SF for 5 years until I had CTS. After bilateral surgery I had to stop. But my love for food, and wine will never stop. I should write some old family recipes down and post them. Umm giving me more work.
I grew up in a typical Greek restaurant family. I was making milkshakes as soon as I was tall enough to reach the spindles.
I love food. And I have to say, I believe eating is underrated.
So your first name is my last (absolutely nothing gets by me). Personally, I happen to think both are sensational names…and I’m not the least bit biased.
