Over a 4 month SEO trial the LeadWalnut team dove right into our largest internal project, assisting with our major site redesign, unleveling content, retrofitting pages to ensure no traffic and top keyword ranking loss, strategic ideation on featured snippets, etc.We started reaching out to the LeadWalnut team after being burned by our last agency, and we had been hit fairly badly by the 2023 Core Updates. The LeadWalnut team was professional, quick and let the data do the talking!

Increased rankings, increased impressions, increased signups, increased revenue! Nothing speaks more than data - the proof was in the pudding!

Yes! The team was very clear about deliverables. We used slack, weekly meetings, and email cadences to communicate clearly. If there was ever going to be a delay, the LeadWalnut team was very professional and let us know and always kept our expectations managed.

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

This team didn't feel like another agency but like another internal team that truly cared about our needs and objectives. It was as if our goals were just as important to them as us, which is rare to find.

Our current work with the LeadWalnut team was fairly focused, but I would love to see more recommendations from them. Our company has a lot of brands outside of the scope of work we chose. It may not have been in their power at the time, but I'm really looking forward to seeing what else this team is capable of!
