The workflow with Seoplus+ and our team is very effective. Most of the communications with Seoplus+ are through email; however we set up a monthly phone call to review our metrics and discuss next steps. Our Account Manager is very accommodating and we appreciate that she is able to schedule a phone call whenever needed. The Seoplus+ team is also great with responding to emails in a timely manner.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

Are there any areas for improvement?

Since we are are an outsourced finance company, writing content about finance topics can be difficult. The content specialists at Seoplus+ are talented professionals; however, they don't have as much experience with writing about finance.
