In fact, over 30% of their traffic at that time was coming from branded searches like “amain hobbies”. AMain knew that missing out on product searches meant one thing: they were also missing out on sales! But how could they fix their rankings and dominate the Google results for remote controlled toys and vehicles? Read More

Link Building in an AI-Driven World with Gareth Simpson

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). Stephen Spencer, the ultimate authority on SEO, is not only doubling down, but he is predicting even more opportunities in this vast and complicated online media choice. He believes, like most of the “good guys” do, that every challenge is an opportunity…and with the 4th edition of The Art of SEO, he not only updates the opportunities, he creates new avenues and applications available nowhere else. That’s Stephen’s special sauce…and why he is the most sought out speaker and authority on this topic…and why he has spoken to my masterminds multiple times. And it’s time for me to book him again based on this new book… that is disguised as a 4th edition.
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 is also very creative in the solutions he came up with. He thought holistically about problems, not just improving the site structure, how things rendered, the conventional stuff.

Under his guidance, we re-engineered our online business on a level that was far superior to what we could have accomplished alone. It was well worth the investment.
“Stephan’s SEO audit identified some major problem areas in our site that had eluded us. That, along with his expert assistance in creating a more authoritative link profile, was pivotal in successfully resolving a manual action and setting us up for long-term success in Google.Under his guidance, we re-engineered our online business on a level that was far superior to what we could have accomplished alone. It was well worth the investment.“
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.
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.

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.

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.

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.
I recommend Stephan without reservation
Working with Stephan was without a doubt one of the best investments we’ve made. After implementing only half of Stephan’s recommendations, our organic traffic went up 70%, which is not easy when you already have 90,000 daily organic visits and you’ve optimized your site a whole lot over the years. I recommend Stephan without reservation.What that actually did for us is put together a strategic plan better than anything that we could’ve ever produced on our own
I’m Steve Spangler and I love to do stuff like this. But there’s no way I’d get invited as a science guy and do any of these cool things on television unless I can get found, unless I had an online presence, unless I had a body of work that people could examine online and truly understand and come to the conclusion that I was the expert that they needed in science education.
Here’s a person who knows what’s hot even before it’s lukewarm
How does Stephan Spencer have the ability to predict the future? Here’s a person who knows what’s hot even before it’s lukewarm. Over the past twelve years, our executive team has followed his advice, learned from his counterintuitive insights and reaped the benefits of creating a brand that now has authority, influence and exactly the positioning we want in our market space. The lesson is to listen, gain understanding and act upon his incredible insights.

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.Stephan’s a SEO Expert
