In terms of ROI, it was a sizable investment for us at the time but absolutely worth every penny. He’s certainly a thought leader.

The first thing I wanted to point out was how technical he was, his technical ability, how cutting edge some of the concepts he brought to the table were, the observations that he had. We were facing a lot of technical challenges at the time, and he was really efficient in diagnosing those problems, pointing those out, and giving us a clear path to remedy those problems.

He was super creative in putting out content that was super shareable, actionable, and clickable. The other thing that I would point out was that he was unabashedly, unapologetically white hat. So many companies I feel like (and ours was no different) try to come up with short-term solutions to complicated problems – he would never let us do that. Everything that he conceived of was very thorough and meant to be sustainable. In terms of ROI, it was a sizable investment for us at the time but absolutely worth every penny. He gave us a roadmap that we were working on for years after that engagement ended and again it was complete. So in summary, I recommend Stephan Spencer wholeheartedly. He’s certainly a thought leader in the industry and that was evident every moment that he worked with us. Absolutely no reservations and would be eager to work with him again in the future.

He’s definitely one of the good few guys in SEO

I’m an SEO specialist for the past 5 years and I worked with Stephan for about a year on a bigger project, it turned out great. As we go along and things come up, Stephan’s always one I go to for further information, I tell our great ideas, he’s definitely one of the good few guys in SEO.

We are grateful to Stephan for planting the seed for one of the most successful Web projects The Carter Center has undertaken to-date

As a means of raising the profile of The Carter Center and driving traffic to our website, Stephan Spencer suggested that President Carter write a blog. We took that suggestion, developed a strategy around a trip to the West African countries of Togo, Ghana, and Mali, and posted regular blogs from President Carter (with photos, sidebars and news stories, and links to related material on our site) over the course of eight days.

Although he had written reports from the field on previous trips, this was his first experience with the blogging phenomenon and he was eager to participate.

The blogs, which we marketed via press releases, through partner organization websites, and via the Google AdWord program, garnered significant increases in visits to our site, resulting in an average quadruple our normal daily average. We have sustained a significant increase in Web traffic since February 2004, building on the momentum of the blog project, which we intend to repeat both with President Carter and others here at the Center. We are grateful to Stephan for planting the seed for one of the most successful Web projects The Carter Center has undertaken to-date.

Provided some good guidelines to us that are still in use today

I met Stephan here two years ago, and we were searching for someone to give us some SEO advice, and what we struggled with then and what we still struggle with today is, who do you believe when it comes to SEO and best practices? You can’t really believe in Google’s saying all the time, you can’t really believe in what a lot of people say. Stephan and his company were actually very helpful to us and provided some good guidelines to us that are still in use today and continue to do a lot. If there’s anyone you can believe about SEO its Stephan.

He was key to turning my business from an idea into reality

I will rarely write a review such as this and frankly, Stephan doesn’t need any more accolades, however, he was key to turning my business from an idea into reality. He defined our entire digital strategy (including the blog, podcast and explainer video), and even created our brand from scratch. Going into it, my 18-year company was American Response, Inc. and we didn’t even have a web site.

He came up with the SkyCover name and the SafeHouse podcast name, acquired the skycover.com domain from a domainer, developed our presence on social sites like Pinterest and Twitter, defined our keyword strategy, drove all content marketing, and assembled a crackerjack team of viral content writers, social media power users, videographers, animators, podcast producers and more. He’s known as the SEO guru and that’s why I hired him. Stephan truly went above and beyond the initial scope of SEO to really drive our business forward across all channels. I never would have dreamed I’d have my own podcast show that I don’t have to host myself or produce and that’s in the iTunes New & Noteworthy and Top 200. Working with Stephan was the best decision I could have made. I am so grateful to have found such a dedicated and gifted expert to navigate me through the choppy waters of launching a startup.

After the first time going through Part 1 and 2 of the course I can say it’s great value for the money

After the first time going through Part 1 and 2 of the course I can say it’s great value for the money. About Search Console I knew the basics – I did only setup the accounts for my customers and clicked a little here and there. Now I have a guideline to get the full picture!

Screaming Frog I use for more than 2 years and show potential customers in live presentations every day where some problems are but I use only about 8% of the functionality of the software. I several times planned to go through the software on my own to learn how to use it better but with your moderated help it’s the best solution.

You changed our whole model, and as a result we are crushing it

Thanks for all your help. You changed our whole model, and as a result we are crushing it.

SEO techniques that have actually improved my business skills tremendously

Hi, this is Jim and I wanted to say a few words about Stephan Spencer’s coaching program. I actually have used Stephan’s program for three months and it’s been super beneficial to me. It actually helped me to retain one of my biggest clients.

Some of the work we did in analyzing the client website was instrumental in my retaining that account. It’s been very helpful also in terms of general industry knowledge and some specific SEO techniques that have actually improved my business skills tremendously. Thanks so much, Stephan. I would highly recommend utilizing the service.
