About Kathy
Founder and Visionary of Petite Budget
Hello! I’m Kathy Urbanski, and I currently lead SEO projects at a boutique agency, bringing big brand visions to life through meticulously crafted content strategies. My journey into the world of SEO and digital marketing began somewhat unexpectedly, right next to the university I was attending in Katipunan.
How It All Began
It all started when I was in my second year of college. I was dating someone who was launching a startup and needed some help. I jumped at the opportunity, and though our personal relationship didn’t last, it kick-started my career in digital marketing. My first role was writing video titles for erotic videos, where I quickly learned the importance of keywords and how they drive online content visibility.
My Career Evolution
From those early days, my career has been a diverse and evolving journey. I moved from transcription to promoting a luxury rehab facility in the US, and eventually, I began taking virtual assistant jobs. This is where I deepened my understanding of SEO and digital marketing. I’ve held roles ranging from content writer to editor, and from SEO strategist to project manager. I even started my own podcast SEO agency, which grew from zero to a six-figure success in just three years. However, despite the success, I found that running the agency demanded a 24/7 commitment that I wasn’t willing to maintain at the expense of time with my family.
My Educational Path
I graduated from the University of the Philippines Diliman with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology. During my time at university, I was the interim president of the UP Volleyball Club and an active member of the socio-civic organization UP Buklod Isip. I’ve also earned certifications in Email Marketing Mastery, Inbound Marketing, and Social Media Mastery, and hold a Project Management certification from Google.
My Expertise
My professional expertise spans SEO, cold email marketing, podcast launch and growth strategies, project management, and digital marketing. Each of these skills not only enhances my capability as an SEO project manager but also informs the guidance I provide through my latest venture, Petite Budget.
Why I Created Petite Budget
I launched Petite Budget to empower moms towards financial independence. The drive to help others achieve financial security comes from my own experiences and the great advice I’ve received over the years. My goal is to help one million moms live financially free lives with their families.
A Bit More About Me
Outside of work, I am passionate about budgeting—it really is in my blood. I love staying active with CrossFit and spending peaceful times in nature. My family is my world: my strong-willed daughter Malaya, my amazing husband Daryl, and our adorable furrbaby, Peanut. Together, we’re committed to building a life filled with sustainability and abundance.
