Digital competitor research blends social listening with competitor content analysis and market share analysis, producing a pragmatic competitive landscape study for stakeholder workshops. Our process converts raw competitive intelligence into revenue acceleration roadmaps across product lines and regions worldwide for sustained growth and measurable ROI results.

Bill is a pleasure to collaborate with and an encyclopedic SEO resource.
Two things distinguish him: first, he can draw on real‑world experience for virtually any SEO scenario; second, he understands how SEO intersects with content strategy, user experience, and broader marketing channels.

Linchpin SEO re‑engineered our SEO strategy to reflect our new brand and guided us through multiple M&A migrations.
Their content and keyword roadmap preserved traffic and leads while consolidating acquired sites into the primary 1WorldSync.com domain—an outcome we could not have achieved alone.
I recommend Bill to anyone tackling complex SEO challenges.
His customized, goals‑driven strategies stand in stark contrast to the one‑size‑fits‑all approach common in the industry.
