Affordable Oregon-Based SEO Company

Selected Client List

Although my company practices strictly "white hat," ethical search engine optimization techniques, for a number of reasons, some clients prefer to keep our relationship confidential. However, we can share a few case studies and verbal testimonials below:

AEGIS Realty Partners

The partners at AEGIS Realty asked me to take a look at their commercial internet presence. I first overhauled their original site, fully optimizing its page titles, page structure, and copy, adding an omnipresent contact form, and making significant aesthetic modifications to its existing design. Additionally, I manage AEGIS' Google Adwords (Pay-Per-Click) campaign and advise them on how to take full advantage of Craigslist and other free listing sites such as Google Local.

Custom Logo Company

In addition to streamlining Custom Logo's catalog design, I analyzed the company's profit margins on various items and did a competitive analysis for search engine keywords related to those products. Based on the results of my research, Custom Logo decided to launch a new apparel division in the Fall of 2006, where its profit margins areapproximately 2.5 times greater per order than on a comparably sized golf ball order. The steady stream of new customers from the internet, as well as repeat online business, has allowed Custom Logo to eliminate its print catalog and print advertising entirely.

Matt Heafey, Residential Realtor

After a 20-year career in institutional investments, Matt decided to make a move into the highly competitive, but highly rewarding East Bay real estate market. I helped Matt choose a domain name, worked with him on developing his brand, and advised him on less-competitive areas of online advertising where he could spend some up-front ad dollars and kickstart his new career.
