Work Media

This was among the companies I found on this site and reached out to them to learn if they were the best fit for our search engine optimization campaign. They were Google Partner certified for analytics which indicated a solid level of expertise I appreciated seeing. They were listed in the Better Business Bureau with no complaints in the last three years which definitely helped facilitate trust enough for me to proceed to contact them in order to obtain a quote. And there was decent content on the site which was helpful.

They didn't appear to have an XML sitemap, SSL certificate or tracking installed on their domain, and their SEO Woorank was fifty one out of one hundred all of which didn't leave a great first impression as to their current level of SEO knowledge, nor that they lead by example with their own SEO service. They abandoned their blog in 2013 as well which didn't indicate they were currently active either. There were no client testimonials or case studies on the site which would help indicate their authority and create trust.

This company was lacking some important presales criteria in my opinion, such as important SEO factors relevant to today's standard best practices. Along with no client testimonials or case studies which would certainly help both prospects and their business. But based on the fact they were Google Partner certified and listed in the Better Business Bureau with no complaints, I was happy to reach out to learn more about their service and hopefully obtain a quote for our ecommerce based startup. So I contacted them via their online submit form and I received a quick response from Jerry who also followed up with a rough quote which I appreciated. Though their pricing was on the upper end of our budget for which I am responsible for to implement an entire integrated marketing campaign so we had to pass. And it had not been converted into Canadian currency yet. Though I am happy to recommend including this company while doing your due diligence to learn if they are the best fit for your SEO project.
