Stillwater Media Group

This company was among those which I had looked into to learn if they were the best fit for our search engine optimization campaign and perhaps pay per click advertising management as well. I liked their commitment to education for their team and clients this was significant. As well as their help for charities close to them which may not affect a client results directly but at the end of the day if all things are similar between choices of providers this is one aspect which could help sway my decision as a prospect.

It would be good to see them in the Better Business Bureau as this can facilitate a lot of trust in prospects doing their research initially. As well as Google Partner certification or other PPC provider certification to help validate their expertise further. Their SEO Woorank was second lowest among several dozen companies I had the opportunity to look into during my research so this wasn't a great first impression of a company leading by example with their own services. The lowest score was thirty six and the highest was ninety two with an average of about seventy five. And there were no marketing campaign case studies for any of their services with key performance metrics which would also help add to their credibility up front. They have a graphic in their home page slider which I didn't notice initially stating their new SEO design standards for 2010 so this did not give me much hope as to this companies current activity and level of knowledge in their ever changing industry.

Despite the mention of transparency in their sales copy and the lack of it based on my presales criteria compared to their competition I had reached out to learn more about their search engine optimization services from a representative directly. Though based on the graphic in their Home page slider not being updated in over six years I was not particularly hopeful that I would hear back from them at all. So I was pleasantly surprised to hear back from Brian within half a business day with a minimum pricing in fact which was good, though would recommend using something other than a Gmail to indicate professionalism. While not a deal breaker as long as results were real, it gives the perception that it's a very small company who would be using a third party to fulfill our services. Regardless I was happy to receive a prompt response and minimum pricing so quickly. However because I had done so much research to learn the very best company for our project after discussing all options with the owner of our company we decided to go in another direction but I would recommend including this company in your search. They very well may be the best fit to help grow your presence and sales online.
