Interview Q&A
How long have you been in business?
I've been in the search engine optimization / online marketing field since 2000. I founded Saddleback SEO in 2008.
What is your primary product or service?
SEO (search engine optimization), SEM (search engine marketing), PPC (pay per click management), SMM (social media marketing), link building, online public relations style strategic marketing
How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
I grew up with the internet in the early '90's and began helping businesses get online with websites, shopping carts and merchant accounts in the latter part of the decade. Many would ask how to get traffic to their website and I started learning about online marketing and search engine optimization.
In 2000 I started a division within an existing corporation that offered related business services such as merchant accounts, gift cards, websites, print design, etc. I have never looked back and enjoy working with like-minded business professionals and entrepreneurs to help them grow and be successful.
How do you differentiate yourself from other businesses in your category and area?
As much as a business owner should also be picky about who they are choosing as a marketing partner, we are very selective with the types of clients with whom we choose to work. We believe in the golden rule and genuinely care about others interests. This attitude translates into our work.
We treat our client's business as if it were our own. We will not take on a project just for the money. We need to first make sure that we understand what needs to be accomplished, and then make sure that we feel confident that we can truly help to reach the objectives. If we do not feel we're a good fit for any business for any reason, we will let them know.
To provide a close personal level of attention to custom tailor strategies for each individual client, we can only work with a small number of clients at any given time. We don't offer cookie cutter marketing programs - every campaign is uniquely tailored to help our client's reach their specific goals and objectives.
For our clients, the values we hold translate into just a few of the following benefits:
- open, honest and direct communication
- complete transparency so client's know exactly what work is being done
- we don't use automated software for marketing, management, or reporting purposes
- we hand assemble all weekly and monthly reports so they are easy to read and understand
- like mindedness for good chemistry and ultimately, a good foundation for a prosperous marketing partnership
