In my experience, the signal-to-noise ratio amongst individuals in the SEO industry is particularly bad. Supposed 'experts' miss the forest for the trees and focus on short-term gains that are either not scalable or sustainable. In stark contrast, Brent has provided a foundation on which to build SEO success. He provides high-quality work that cuts through the noise. And, most importantly, the results are undeniably excellent. Highly recommended.

Neal Sáles-Griffin, Managing Director at Techstars Chicago

“I first met Brent in 2010 when he was SEO Director at Tribune and I was a reporter at Tribune Co. in Baltimore. I was impressed with his SEO knowledge and skills that brought Tribune's online presence to the next level, far surpassing the competition at the time. In 2013, I invited Brent to be a speaker at the Society of Professional Journalists conference. Brent successfully led an engaging and informative discussion with a room full of journalists who to this day apply the SEO best practices in their newsrooms thanks to Brent's knowledge and infinite wisdom.”
