Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

Project management was excellent. Mark3teros planned the work in weekly sprints, shared a live task board, and hit every milestone on or ahead of schedule. They were highly responsive—most questions were answered the same day, and change requests were acknowledged within 24 hours with clear next steps.

What was your primary form of communication with Mark3teros?

Virtual Meeting

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

What stood out was their hybrid approach: deep technical SEO (Core Web Vitals, structured data, canonical policy) paired with smart editorial strategy (intent mapping, briefs, internal linking). They were unusually transparent—live dashboards, clear prioritization (P1/P2/P3), and written rationales for every change—so I always knew why something mattered. It felt like working with an in-house team, not a vendor.

Are there any areas for improvement or something Mark3teros could have done differently?

Overall, the engagement was excellent. If I had to suggest improvements, I’d ask for a bit more experimentation cadence on titles/CTR tests and slightly richer change-logs so my team can trace every on-page or schema tweak at a glance.
