Stephan has helped me become better at what I do
I’ve been working with Stephan for a little over one year now, and I can honestly say that he has helped me become better at what I do. He has great insights and great questions and has helped my company increase our paid search ROI. It’s amazing how much we uncover and discover every time we meet. Stephan taught me to apply a “search intent” lens to my PPC decision-making, which has resulted in more relevant landing pages and higher conversions. I highly recommend working with Stephan, and I plan on increasing the number of sessions we have together.

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!

Hi, my name is Aaron Walker. I’m the president and founder of View From the Top. I’m a premier life and business coach helping ordinary people become extraordinary in all they do. I’m very privileged today to be facilitating 20 mastermind groups with members from both national and international audiences. Well, periodically, we ask guests to be interviewed as an expert. Well, I reached out to Stephan Spencer, thinking there is no way I’m even gonna get an opportunity to get this guy. He is world-class, world-renowned. He’s an author, he’s a speaker, and he’s a search engine optimization expert. And I said, there is no way I’m gonna get this guy. Well, I’m happy to report that not only did I get him to do an hour interview on a Zoom video conference with all of my mastermind participants, but also he was chosen in one of the top interviews that we’ve done in seven years.

Internet Marketer, VPI Strategies
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.

One of the best decisions I’ve made
Before I started the sessions with Stephan, I was kind of in doubt because his sessions were so expensive. I was like, “Oh my gosh, is that worth it? Can I afford it?” But no, I decided to go for it and has been one of the best decisions I’ve made in my life.

Talented Technologies
Extremely Inspirational
I was just talking to Stephan Spencer here about the talk he gave and it must have been four years ago at SMX Advanced, he was giving just slide after slide of power tips on how to search in very interesting and unusual ways and how to apply the idea of advanced search to things I had never thought about link building or how to find a particular site or particular information that you just can’t find normally because you can’t query with that but you actually can learn to do it with all these fancy advanced queries. The cool thing about that was it was extremely inspirational for me because I hadn’t really thought of using advanced search and applying it in really non-standard ways to do things. That changed the way I used Google and think about search and search marketing forever.

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.

I attended a workshop by Stephan Spencer on website auditing at the Beauty Online conference. The workshop was comprehensive and illuminating. I was very impressed. I invited Stephan to our offices in New York to critique the e-commerce shop-in-shop that I have been in charge of developing. The advice was very valuable and covered many things that we were not aware of or had not considered.

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.

Hi, my name is Rachel Slovin, I’m the head of search marketing at Kahena Digital Marketing. We were blessed to host Stephan Spencer tonight for our meet up and I have only the best things to say.

So thank you so much and I really recommend you bring him to all of your events.

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.

Most sought out speaker and authority on SEO…
With so many marketing pundits foretelling the end of marketing as we know it–with the advent of Artificial Intelligence (AI) taking over the world, the promise of more institutional regulations and online marketing imposters making it more difficult for the good guys to do good–one of the really good guys is doubling down by releasing the 4th edition of his book on one of those areas where its demise has been erroneously predicted, Search Engine Optimization (SEO).

Outperformed an entire year
Just this month we are at 16 signed cases, so we still have about nine days. In every case is it has to meet a certain criteria and they’re all good quality cases where people need our help. So before I came into the firm and realized that we needed an entire revamp, I think on the year, our firm signed 12 motor vehicle accident cases on the whole year. Just this month, we’ve 12 motor vehicle accident cases and the other four are our premise liability cases. And that’s just in one month. We have essentially outperformed an entire year of case intake in one month. But this is long-term success.

Learn From A Guy Who's A Master At Upleveling...
There are more people than ever running online businesses using the internet because many of us are stuck at home, and navigating an online business can be tricky today because of these ever-changing algorithms and SEO. You never know what’s going to happen, and it’s possible to navigate it on your own.
But why take on that stress? I didn’t. That’s why I work with a guy named Stephan Spencer, who essentially wrote the books, actually three of them on SEO. He’s an internationally recognized SEO expert and bestselling author of Google Power Search and the Art of SEO. In addition to hacking SEO, Stephan spent a lot of time hacking himself, just like I have.

What I do know though is that Stephan Spencer is the smartest cat I know in the world about SEO. I know because he does it every day for himself and his clients. He’s written not just the book but THE book on the topic. So if you need SEO help, you should probably check him out.

It allowed me to be not be the bottleneck for my own business
You’ve challenged me where I need to be challenged. As a result, I’ve grown a lot on the business side, but I’ve also grown on the personal side. We’ve had a number of calls over the years where it’s like, ‘Hey, let’s turn off the recording and just have a conversation.’ And those have always been very fruitful.

I highly recommend this program and Stephan.
The thing that has struck me most was that I did not even know what I did not know about SEO. And the best concept I have learned so far is the “3 second rule” for understanding value prop/next steps on web site. Simple but powerful.
Stephan and his team have broken SEO down in practical and easy to follow course modules (of which I have completed the first two so far). Bringing in examples of other thought leaders in SEO and other case studies is a powerful way to reinforce some of the concepts being taught in the courses. Helps me to learn and also helps me to sell some of these SEO ideas to others on my team.
There are a lot of people who claim to do SEO. It is clear to me that Stephan is a leading authority in the field and his clients are lucky to have him on their team.
