Awkward Media edited our website pages to include key phrases that would improve our SEO rating.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

--

Are there any areas for improvement or something Awkward Media could have done differently?

The metrics they used to define SEO improvement did not result in improved rankings for the key phrases that are important to us. Additionally, I had to tell them three times to focus on these key phrases. To be fair, our rankings for these phrases did improve somewhat after five months of work, but not enough to result in an increase of signups for our services. I also received several nasty, aggressive emails stating that if I worked on the website, they would not honor their hollow set of guarantees. 

Awkward Media kept on stressing the importance of website SEO metrics and, after working with them for three months, I asked them to compare our website's rating to three of our competitors who consistently rated higher in key search phrases. According to their metrics, we were above our competitors yet, when I did key search phrases, we were coming up way below them. Also, their so-called guarantee is based on their SEO metrics, which are invalid because they did not improve our rankings.
