Mike, thank you for speaking at the 2017 Rocks Digital Marketing Conference. The information you shared with attendees on digital marketing and SEO was invaluable. I am still receiving rave reviews on your participation in the digital marketing clinic.
Casey Markee, MBA
It is a pleasure to write this recommendation for Mike. Mike is one of the premiere local SEO specialists in the USA if not the World. Mike spent over a dozen years with SuperPages.com so has a view of "local" from the corporate side that few can match. Since 2010 Mike has run his own agency and has had incredible results. Not only has the firm itself continued to achieve fantastic visibility for its clientale but Mike's own profile has grown by leaps and bounds. Besides sharing panels with Mike at top SEO conventions like Pubcon and State of Search, he has also been called as an expert witness in cases involving local SEO geotargeting issues in District Court. When I have a local SEO question Mike is one of the first I call. If you are looking for a quality local SEO professional for your project Mike has my strongest recommendation.
Mark Barrera
Mike is very passionate about digital marketing especially as it relates to local search. His passion is only exceeded by knowledge and the methods he uses are shown in the bottom line results he brings his clients. Mike also stays at the cutting edge of technology and tactics by being so involved in digital marketing via his participation in DFWSEM as well as by his participation at conferences such as Pubcon and State of Search. As I've grown to know Mike through our careers in digital marketing, I now also am proud to call him a friend. Mike is very humble and will lend a helping hand to anyone in need.
