I don’t think there’s anything we would change. I would have liked to have him onsite more, but we didn’t have the budget.
Overall Feedback:
Alan is an old school SEO expert, so he has a lot of knowledge of things that today’s SEO experts don’t really understand. SEO Image successfully helped editors optimize their content for search engines; optimal keyword usage has increased traffic. SEO Image has valuable and rare expertise in both SEO history and current trends, making them a valued partner in solving problems. Alan is an old school SEO expert, so he has a lot of knowledge of things that today’s SEO experts don’t really understand because they’re new age. They’re up on the current things, but they don’t know the history. Sometimes, knowing the history of SEO goes a long way when talking about the industry and how it works. He’s really knowledgeable about the changes through the years in this industry, and I feel like he’s in tune with what’s going on today also. Alan has tons of knowledge about penalties, issues, and what can cause problems. He’s pretty sound in his method, and he knows what he’s talking about. So, I would just say to trust his judgment, and test all his strategies to find out which one works for you. There are very few people that have been around as long as he has, and that’s worth considering when hiring someone.

Overall Feedback:
After a few months of work, SEO Image delivered results. Site traffic and business leads began to rise; the company was listed in the top three results for competitive phrases. Patient and courteous, SEO Image is always happy to answer questions and reliable about sending monthly reports. I hired SEO Image and decided to give them a chance to handle my organic search business for the long term. We agreed before the project to be patient because it would take several months to see results. We started the engagement in April 2013. Their team began by fixing the back-end of my website to optimize it for search. The main goal was to generate phone call leads and the secondary goal was to drive more online leads through or website capture form. The engagement started out a little rocky but their team reminded me to be patient. Eventually, we started to see a noticeable improvement in leads and traffic. They actually have me in the top three results for many competitive phrases. My market is extremely competitive online, I have so many large competitors who are all using SEO firms. I am happy to report that my investment has been positive so I will stick with SEO Image. They have always been very patient and courteous. Other firms didn't want to answer my basic questions about the SEO industry but they always been helpful and handled my account with care. They also offer great monthly reports. They send those without request every month like clockwork. It is very difficult to find a reliable SEO firm, but I'm happy I found SEO Image.
