We can’t recommend them highly enough.
After interviewing local and large national site redesign firms, we couldn’t find a provider who could address all the challenges. Then we found Bill and his team.
Bill quickly learned the nuances of our technical jargon and seamlessly generated web content.
They met every need we had with our website redesign, site, blog integration, brand and look update, and forms-CRM assimilation. Bill and his team exceeded our expectations.

Bill has been great.
I’ve worked with him at two different companies, and he’s been so flexible to help us with exactly what we needed and keep the cost within our budget. When we relaunched our website, Bill walked us through the steps necessary to grow our site visits. In the time I’ve worked with Bill, we’ve tripled the organic traffic to our site.

Outstanding experience with site migration and long-term support.
Bill was invaluable when it came time to migrate a diverse product store to a new platform; we couldn’t have asked for better planning through to execution. Bill’s expertise on SEO instantly saw our site traffic and search result rankings increase significantly and have been maintained at a very high level. As we worked through new content, the long-term support ensured that none of our efforts were wasted, a huge benefit to our efficiency as a company.

A month post-launch, we already increased traffic by 7% and demo requests by 50%.
We realized we needed to start searching for a true SEO partner who could help us through the entire redesign process and give us deeper insights into SEO management. We evaluated a few firms, but none were as knowledgeable and flexible as their team.
My coworkers and I worked with Bill from the beginning of our website redesign and relaunch to develop a customized plan. None of us were SEO experts, and without Bill’s detailed help and suggestions, we would never have been able to achieve the success we are having with our new site.
