The Best SEO Consulting Agency For Startups

5.0
4 reviews

In our combined 20+ years as SEO consultants, we’ve worked with hundreds of brands in all aspects of search engine optimization and understand how brands operate, what deliverables are expected, in what time frame and at what level of certainty.

We have found our skill, experience & expertise is utilized best in the startup world, where we can help a company move from obscurity into mainstream in a relatively short amount of time with the power of our streamlined SEO processes.

 

“Get a senior SEO experience, for a junior SEO rate”

The system we’ve developed has been refined over the years for maximum efficiency and is conducted in four stages:

- Initiate in-depth keyword research for ideal customer profiling and intent.

- Audit your website for technical, content and user experience opportunities.

- Establish a priority checklist of recommendations for maximum traffic, engagement and leads.

- Build industry-relevant links for web presence and authority.

Our refined methodology enables us to perform at comparably lower fees. In simpler terms, you’ll work with senior SEO consultants for junior analyst rates.

 

“No contracts, no obligations”

While we are paid for our time and experience, the results we generate is what keeps us in business. Contracts and minimums are a tactic used by insecure marketers who want to get paid whether they deliver a satisfactory experience or not.

No contracts, no obligations — we’re confident in our abilities and the value we can bring to your organization.

 

“Legitimate inquiries only, please”

We only work with individuals who are serious about their business and are committed to do what is necessary to ensure long-term results.

If you are ready to move quickly and grow with a proven and predictable strategy, let us know!

Feedback summary: 

Because of SEO 101, the acupuncturist clinic has seen an increase in its number of weekly patients. The team has been in constant contact with the company. Their efforts are making a big difference for the company.

The client submitted this review online.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I’m an Acupuncturist that specializes in treating emotional issues such as stress, anxiety & depression as well as acute and chronic pain. Using acupuncture, nutritional advice and lifestyle changes, I’m able to offer patients a well balanced approach that is both holistic and effective.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire SEO 101, and what were your goals?

There’s a lot of competition in the market and I wanted to find a way to grow my practice and get my name out there. I just had my website built, so decided to find a way to get people to the site and one thing that was suggested to me was SEO.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

Obviously, I wanted a company that knew what they were doing and would be able to help me achieve my goals in a reasonable period of time. They were recommended by a friend who said he had good results with them. I’m busy so didn't really have time to do much research into all of this kind of stuff.

Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and campaigns.

I was told the first step was an assessment of my website and picking the right keywords to rank for. First thing I did was to make a list of relevant words for acupuncture and the areas I wanted to focus.

I also provide herbal medicine and cupping to patients so this was part of the criteria. They also made some suggestions for improvements to my website which they did. Then we talked about content as well.

How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

Worked with 2 people. One of them was Sebastian and an analyst in his team.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?

I started getting new patients walk in off the street which has never really happened before. Used to be once in a while, like, 1 in 2 weeks, but now I get 2-3 new patients each week. That’s made a big difference to the business.

Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.

Speaking with the team on Skype, them logging into the backend of my website, emails back and forth, sending me different content to upload. Have really learnt a lot about the way website work.

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

I don’t know much about SEO and didn’t look into other companies, but they more than delivered on the results I was looking for.

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

Can’t think of any.

The client submitted this review online.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the Founder of a digital marketing agency that enables clients to get and retain clients through managed campaigns. My day-to-day role is overall strategy, to attain annual goals and expand the agency to a medium-sized player in our niche. 

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire SEO 101, and what were your goals?

Recently, we've been focusing on getting traffic to our website so people can spend more time taking a look at our campaigns and read our case studies, so we can build a following.

Our goal in engaging the business was to drive traffic to the business so we can capture email addresses for our newsletter and so we can rank higher in search results. 

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

A good friend of mine has a good understanding of SEO and his suggestion was to not just go based upon what we read on websites, but to speak with a number of firms to see which ones we got along with. We selected 5 different companies based upon a search, including SEO 101. Although price is a factor, it was not the main criteria. We wanted a firm that is professional, understands what they're doing and will provide significant RoI.

Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and campaigns.

During the initial stages, they explained in detail what SEO is and how they will help us to rank better in searches. They did an analysis of our website and recommended small modifications. These didn't seem like much at first, but they informed me that they would have a noticeable impact on user experience and performance.

They asked for the keywords that were important to use, but also stated that they would conduct a search of the relevant keywords for our industry. They also worked on content that was directed at the types of clients we were seeking. 

How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

I initially worked directly with one of the Directors of the company, but for the day-to-day my team worked with a Senior SEO Analyst.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?

Getting organic traffic was not something that was important to us initially, but having recently updated the website, we knew that it was important. We now rank on the 1st page for several keywords.

We now rank much higher in Google searches and many of our new clients say that found us through Google, which was never the case. Our email list has grown by 200% as well, which will certainly lead to an increase in future work.  

Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.

SEO is not something I understand in detail so they were great at explaining it to me in simple layman's terms from the beginning.  They formulated a step-by-step plan of how things would go which was very helpful for me.

They stuck to this plan without deviation which was very impressive.  I believe that my staff communicated with them regularly via email, but also maintained contact with calls on weekly and monthly basis through Zoom. 

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

They have a simple, proven methodology. Other companies we spoke to seemed to complicate things and I got lost in what they were trying to offer us. They gave me the right amount of information to move things forward.

They are also very passionate about their business which is what stood out to me from the discovery phase. This passion is important to me. They also tend to work with startups, so it was like working with colleagues: one set of entrepreneurs to another.

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

No qualms on my end. As an entrepreneur, passion is very important to me, and these guys have bags of it!

Feedback summary: 

New leads were produced immediately after SEO 101 began PPC campaigns. Google rankings for relevant keywords continue to increase. The vendor excels at communicating technical concepts in easy-to-understand language. They are a deadline-oriented team.

The client submitted this review online.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I'm the founder of a few online and retail businesses currently generating over six figures per year. We're on track for major growth over the next 24 months.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire SEO 101?

We hired them for SEO services. While I've seen some success with my ventures, getting traffic to my sites has always been a challenge. I had grown my business via word of mouth, but by this stage, I was burned out. 

What were your goals for this project?

We wanted to improve our presence online as I felt we had been left behind. I wanted to rank on page one for a few related keywords, especially keywords for our location. It all comes down to generating leads!

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

I stumbled across a free ebook that SEO 101 had created. It was well written and easy to understand. I loved the content, so I thought it might be worth getting in touch. From my first meeting with Sebastian (Director, SEO 1O1), I could tell he was a sage regarding SEO/PPC. 

Describe the project in detail.

Sebastian strongly suggested that we treat this as a new business launch for the best possible start to the project. That way, we would launch with a bang. He also suggested a great strategy to build our search engine rankings while grasping the power of Google Ads so our lead generation could explode right away. I would recommend this SEO/PPC strategy to any other business that’s on the fence.

At a high level, we updated all our pages to make them more visible to search engines. We've also built more Internet links that direct to our website. While we waited for Google to index and crawl our content, the team set up our PPC campaigns for a good price. The project is still ongoing. 

What was the team composition?

I interact with Sebastian and his team twice a week.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any statistics or metrics that speak to the quality of their work and impact of the engagement?

Currently, we’re ranked number one for a few terms, and we’re on page one for the main keywords we’re going after. We instantly saw leads coming in after the team started the PPC campaigns. PPC gets you the results today, and SEO gets you free traffic tomorrow. For anyone wondering, SEO requires patience! 

How did the SEO 101 perform from a project management standpoint?

They were always on time, and they maintained great communication. They were always willing to take me through anything I didn't understand. They don’t use technical jargon.

What impresses you about the SEO 101?

Aside from the results we've seen so far, their professionalism and attention to detail have been quite impressive.

Are there any areas for improvement?

At the moment, I haven't noticed anything that needs improvement. I just wish Google would rank us quicker!
