This was a company I found quite highly rated on this site so I wanted to learn if they were a good candidate for our search engine optimization campaign. I liked their site design and the content they had while minimal was well written. To be honest, there was not a whole lot more about this company available on or off of their site around the time I contacted them in terms of presales criteria.

Their SEO Woorank was forty eight out of one hundred when I checked which was among the lowest during my research and not a great indicator that they lead by example with their own services. The highest I discovered was ninety two and the lowest was thirty six so it wasn't the lowest but the average was about seventy five perhaps. They were not in the Better Business Bureau which is a good way to facilitate trust in prospects initially. They were not Google Partner certified which would help validate their expertise. This company had such a basic website and lack of content it was odd to see from a marketing company in business they claim since last century. It was well designed and written but lacked depth in their field certainly. They had a blog which averaged perhaps just over a post per year for the last few years and the last post was nearly a year ago, which didn't indicate they were active in their field or current with their level of knowledge in their ever evolving industry.

Despite the thin content and lack of most of my presales criteria having been met, I decided to give them the benefit of the doubt hoping to be pleasantly surprised. There was no contact form available on their site though there was an email address so I sent them a message and awaited a response regarding a quote for our campaign. Eric was very quick to reply and I appreciated. There was a delay between our next communication though I understood the reasoning. However by that time, we had narrowed down our choices for our project otherwise and went in another direction. I do believe this company is worth contacting to learn if they are the best fit for your search optimization project.
