What other
people think.
Of course I think I’m great. But here’s what other people think…
Ray Cameron
“I’ve been involved with SEO for twelve years and Gary is the best expert I’ve ever worked with. Algorithms are changing rapidly and drastically and it’s important to stay on top of the latest developments. I’ve never come across a change that Gary wasn’t already aware of. He keeps a cool head when we see fluctuations in performance, is patient to let things settle out and makes adjustments when the data tells him it is time. SEO is a long term play and we sometimes have clients get impatient, but when Gary gets to respond to the clients directly, they consistently come away with confidence that we’re on the right track and we know what we’re doing. Gary is incredibly easy to work with, a reliable teammate and an excellent communicator.”
Rob Sherman
“I’ve worked with Gary on many website projects of different sizes in different market segments and if I had to choose one word to describe what he provides it would be “excellence.” His academic diligence and rigor are uncommon and outstanding. His communication style is easy to understand and concise. His work is effective with stellar results. He is thorough, creative when he needs to be, and relentless about achieving consistent and compounding results for clients, which he delivers!”
Aaron Cote
“Working with Gary has been a phenomenal experience. He’s an incredibly genuine guy who often goes the extra mile for his clients, his colleagues, and even for himself in the form of constant self-improvement. He’s helped me improve my digital marketing abilities tremendously. Gary is definitely somebody you want to be in contact with – whether it be for his digital marketing finesse, knowledge and appreciation of craft beer, or just because of his top-notch character.”
Brad Imming
“Communication with Gary has been great, it is clear that project management is one of his strengths. He gives clear deliverables and quickly responds to any questions I have. I’m looking forward to working with him on more projects in the future and would highly recommend him to anyone who is considering working with him.”
Mike Garite
“Gary has been an advisor on many of my major business decisions throughout the last 10 years. His decision making is cool, calm, and focused and combines elements of strong practicality and heavy analytical thinking. Gary is highly communicative, empathetic, and can deliver results with limited guidance. He turns your projects into his projects through a systematic approach that allows him to ensure the job is done well.”
Luke Balbirnie
“I have been working with Gary for a little over 2 and a half years, and I can confidently say that he is one of the most reliable people that I have ever worked with. His dedication to his craft is immediately apparent, and he is always looking for new opportunities to refine his skill set, and deepen his knowledge.”
Joshua Swanson
“Gary has always been transparent with his advice, on point with his strategy, and a man of high integrity. We appreciated Gary’s honest feedback and “can-do” attitude. Had we not moved our agency out of state, we would probably still be working with Gary on continuing to innovate our digital marketing strategies.”
