Client Comments

Please thank each member of your team which I consider members of my team or my "consultants" because my results are really YOUR results. I tell my clients that credit for my results, like in "Kung Fu Panda", should really go to my good teachers and hardworking "Masters" of SEO. - Richard

Got my site in front of 14 million competing webpages thanks entirely to Planet Ocean!!!!" - David

I have always got good value for money from you and, no BS, I really appreciate the help over the years. My online successes and my clients' successes have been very much dependent on simply following and implementing what I have learned from you. Basically, I don't know anything about SEO but what I've learned from SEN and that has served me very well indeed. : ) - Richard

The SEO pros at Search Engine News are always up to date with what is going on in search and I value their knowledge and expertise. Plus they are all super nice! :-) - Cindy

First and foremost, John did an excellent job of pulling all the information together and presenting it in a way that everyone could understand. He has a great way of “dumb-ing down” hard-to-understand concepts. He answered all the questions thoughtfully and patiently, and that is much appreciated! - Antonio
