Consulting for Executive Coaching Company
“His patience with us as we navigated this project minimized anxiety and frustration.”
the reviewer
the review
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I run a business that provides executive coaching and business consulting. I’m also a nationally-known speaker and have a nationally syndicated column that reaches over one million business owners every two weeks. My specialty is helping people grow their business, start new businesses, change jobs, or advance in their current job.
What challenge were you trying to address with 1ON1 SEO Training?
Bruce (SEO Consultant) helped me organize and simplify the process of clients scheduling a one-on-one consultation.
What was the scope of their involvement?
Simplifying the scheduling tool involved deep digging into my current setup and research. From there, they located and helped me choose other vendors that were best suited to bring my vision to life. I didn’t have a strong idea of who the best vendors were in this field, so I needed them to professionally talk me through the strengths and weaknesses of the vendors. They provided recommendations based on their personal experience with these vendors.
What is the team composition?
I worked with Bruce directly.
How did you come to work with 1ON1 SEO Training?
Bruce and I were both part of a national business network meeting that helped identify partnerships between businesses. Bruce reached out to me, and we agreed to have an online meeting. After that talk, we both felt that it would be advantageous to partner with each other.
How much have you invested with them?
I provided my services to improve his business in exchange for his services.
What is the status of this engagement?
We’ve been working together since June 2020.
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
When I first met Bruce, I wasn’t able to invite clients to choose a meeting date based on my availability. For that reason, it was difficult to find a mutually convenient time to meet. Additionally, the client wasn’t being notified to confirm that meeting. Now, I’m able to offer these services and coach others.
How did 1ON1 SEO Training perform from a project management standpoint?
Bruce extended himself during off-hours, researching the best resources to suggest the most helpful changes. He exceeded expectations in every sense.
What did you find most impressive about them?
His patience with us as we navigated this project minimized anxiety and frustration. I’d strongly recommend them to anyone.
Are there any areas they could improve?
Sometimes, he got more technical than I needed him to be. However, he adjusted after I let him know I felt that way.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
I’d look to them before anyone else, certainly including their company in your decision-making process.

SEO Training for Web Development Company
“He is able to communicate exactly what needs to be done and what you should expect from the results.”
the reviewer
the review
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.
Introduce your business and what you do there.
The company I work with is called Ten2 Harvest Media, and it’s a local digital marketing, web design, and SEO company. I primarily work with small local businesses, to help them develop their brand both locally and nationally.
What challenge were you trying to address with 1ON1 SEO Training?
I understand about 80% of what I’m doing but wanted to really target that last 20%. I turned to Bruce (Owner) to help me develop that last portion of my understanding of SEO.
What was the scope of their involvement?
Since starting the project, Bruce and I have engaged in one-on-one training sessions about various aspects of SEO efforts. Right now, we’ve been focusing on keyword research and how to understand Google My Business, starting with how to target local SEO. I’ve already applied some of the techniques that I’m learning to my wife’s business, and definitely seen some great results from it.
What was the team composition?
I work directly with Bruce for all of the sessions.
How did you come to work with 1ON1 SEO Training?
They came up as the first result for one on one SEO trainings, so I figured that was a good sign that he would be able to provide the insight that I was looking for.
How much have you invested with them?
We’ve spent less than $1,000 on their services so far.
What is the status of this engagement?
The project started in April 2020 and is currently ongoing.
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
The best evidence of the success we’ve seen so far has been showing up in the Google three-pack for my wife’s keywords, as well as helping me to do some competitive analysis to see how to expand that to different areas.
How did 1ON1 SEO Training perform from a project management standpoint?
The training sessions themselves have been excellent, pretty much exactly what I was looking for. Bruce is someone that I can connect with, and who can speak to me in the technical terminology while also providing the information in a way that I can understand.
He gives me homework and stuff to work on outside of the actual training sessions, and I really see the results of that practice as well. The more work that I put in on what he’s showing me how to do, the results will be even greater, and he makes his instructions crystal clear so that it is easy for me to put in that effort.
What did you find most impressive about them?
The most impressive part of the collaboration so far has just been the depth of his knowledge and expertise in the industry. He is able to communicate exactly what needs to be done and what you should expect from the results so that you eliminate as much of the guesswork as possible.
Are there any areas they could improve?
No, it’s really been nothing but a great experience.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
If you are a small business owner who wants to learn how to either perform your own or understand your provider’s SEO efforts, then take advantage of his free one-hour consultation and just sign up. You’ve got nothing to lose by working with them.

SEO Training for Solar Panel Installation Company
“He’s been very honest, and I know I can rely on his advice for just about anything.”
the reviewer
the review
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I’m the owner of a solar installation company in the western suburbs of Chicago.
What challenge were you trying to address with 1ON1 SEO Training?
When we first started, we worked with a few SEO companies, but I never felt very sure of what they were doing. I didn’t like not being able to see results from the investment I was putting in, so I decided to get educated enough to understand how it works and know what my SEO partner is doing.
What was the scope of their involvement?
We started with the foundations of how SEO works, and Bruce (Owner) provided me with a lot of informational slideshows and videos before we even met. From there, he dove deeper into Google Analytics, optimizing your site and blog content, keyword research, and everything else along those lines.
What was the team composition?
I just worked with Bruce directly.
How did you come to work with 1ON1 SEO Training?
When I started looking for someone to help me with this, I searched for SEO tutors in my area, and they were the first result. I figured that was a good sign that he would be able to provide the knowledge that I was looking for.
How much have you invested with them?
I believe the total cost has been around $1,500 so far.
What is the status of this engagement?
The project started in February 2020 and we are continuing to work together.
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
We’ve been upwards of 300-400% growth in views, so the advice that I’ve been able to implement has definitely helped. We’ve gotten more clients as a result of the work already.
How did 1ON1 SEO Training perform from a project management standpoint?
The management of the project was really easy. He’s got a lot of tools for scheduling and keeping track of everything that you talk about. On top of that, he’s always very flexible about meeting times and is more than willing to get on the phone a few times a week to clarify something free of charge, which I really appreciate.
What did you find most impressive about them?
His business model is so much more dynamic than most SEO companies. The point of an SEO company is to act as a partner for their client, and a good partner should be willing to teach and be transparent about what they’re doing. That philosophy is the foundation of what he does, and it really shows in the level of customer service that he provides.
Are there any areas they could improve?
I really don’t have any complaints. He’s been very honest, and I know I can rely on his advice for just about anything.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
If you’re looking to get a better understanding of what your SEO company is doing or just want to be able to handle some things in house, it is a really great opportunity to be able to learn that from someone as knowledgeable as Bruce. I would recommend that anyone take advantage of that.
