We use the awkward media cloud to see what the team is working on and meet monthly with our project manager to see what is going on and what next steps are. If a problem arises, we email our project manager, and they resolve it within the same day.

They took several days to go over our historical performances and come up with a plan. After that the team was consistent with delivering meaningful changes that made a real difference. The work delivered has also been more impressive as time goes on. They have delivered several key details that enabled us to create bigger projects and reach a bigger audience

We engaged awkward media after a poor experience with another SEO provider that did not seem capable of delivering the goals we intended. We wanted an SEO company to help us gain traction in our stagnant keywords and increase their rankings against the competition. We wanted also to ensure that company was capable of understanding our business and could provide intelligent and contextually relevant topics for publishing. Awkward media was able to learn about our business and improve our target keywords that awkward ranked far better in search engines after they took over. They published strategic content that our customers appreciate and piques their interest to contact us. We also asked them to take over management of our PPC campaigns. They present monthly reports and strategies of why/how to change bids and context to improve our performance and respect our budget.

We have achieved an abundance of exhilarating first page rankings, serving as a tangible reflection of the high-quality work and unwavering dedication to our strategy. These notable first page rankings on competitive keywords are compelling evidence of the strategy's effectiveness and its significant contribution in enhancing our brand's online competitiveness. Everything is going well! We keep each other updated regularly, and since we are a local group, we occasionally meet to plan for the future.

Awkward worked with us to utilize opportunities and leverage content on our website to better reach an audience in need of our services. To accomplish this, they enhanced our blogging presence with SEO content. We worked collaboratively with them to establish a keyword list to use with blog content. We draft our blog entries but share them with Awkward to ensure the word choice and topic selection is best serving SEO. They fine-tune the list and send regular reports on how everything is performing. There’s quite a bit of communication back and forth in that regard.

As we expanded our business into the market, we recognized the need for SEO and website development to establish our presence. Awkward Media played a pivotal role in this endeavor, as they were entrusted with the task of separating our US website from the previously established multisite. Additionally, they skillfully crafted content for our website that served the dual purpose of providing valuable information and optimizing it for SEO purposes. Their expertise and contributions have been instrumental in positioning our business for success in the market.
