What can I say. I have tried about 10 SEO companies over the 15 years. None have ever gotten me to page 1 on Google. All said it would take 6 months and charged big time for it. So, when after 6 months and a few thousand dollars I am nowhere near page 1. Then Chris comes along fully explains in Pretty understandable language how he is going to get me on page 1. So with no lock in contract, I agree to give him ago. Well, you can imagine my shock when I turn up on page 1 in about 30 days yes 1 Month not 6. And now at 3 months I am turning up for multiple keywords on page 1. Do yourself a favour and forget the rest, Chris is seriously the best. I can unreservedly recommend him.

Chris has changed my business immensely in the last 18 months in a very competitive trade. All my main keywords have moved in some cases from 3rd page on google to first page, but almost all keywords to positions 1 & 2 which is huge. I wanted a family run person running my SEO and that's what I got. The person you talk to is the person running your campaign. SEO isn't a quick fix. You have to be in it for the long haul, which is a big commitment. You need to know that the person can do what they say. Chris does this. Thanks mate. Dion, Silverfern Locksmiths
