How did SEO James perform from a project management standpoint?

With them, we meet every other week to go over the information and James gives us the numbers. Since our first meeting, he’s very easy to meet with, whether it’s in person like at the start or over email. If I send an email, he’ll call me to hear my concerns. I’m really happy with his approach to managing the service; it’s great. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

I’ve never worked with a vendor that wants to have a standing meeting, so it’s been great to see James taking the time to see if he wants to work with us and communicate during the project. If I don’t understand something, he takes the time to talk to me about it and never makes it feel rushed.
