Sure Oak Executive Interview

As Sure Oak’s CEO, I focus on ensuring we come together as a team to both craft and execute the SEO strategies that we have become known for. Cultivating entrepreneurial growth is a cornerstone of my identity, one that I have embraced and pursued through multiple ventures. With a strong focus on nurturing growth and transparency, I am committed to ensuring we are strong partners who deliver outstanding value and service that help our clients reach their goals.
We see every company that we work with as the product of somebody’s dream to solve a problem or ease someone else’s pain. If people are hungry, feed them. Entrepreneurs dream of ways of doing so.
But answering a need is not enough. You then have to nurture growth. Every entrepreneur imagines a future where they are able to grow their business to a level they are satisfied with and to do so in our contemporary world you have to be visible online. The problem is, it’s hard work getting your website found! That’s why the need is great, and, because of the skillset of the team we have assembled, so are the results we are able to achieve for our clients.
Our mission is to use the skills that we have to help companies meet their dreams. It was our vision when we started and, as we ourselves have grown, has only been further entrenched in everything we do.
Firstly, we don't overpromise. We know this primarily because too often we pick up the pieces of those who do. Far too many prospects come to us burned by a former SEO company who told them, as just one example will attest, that they'd be on page 1 in 3 months — when the gaps between them and the competitors owning page 1 were too vast for that to be realistic. These kinds of unsubstantiated claims that are made purely to rope in business are unfortunately far too rife in the industry.
Secondly, we have a proven process with our Game Plan. Our approach is to set a holistic strategy from the outset that is steeped in deep research that can later be tied to workable solutions. This includes competitor research, SERPs analysis, and content strategy at a level that then allows us to implement very clear tactical actions needed to outcompete online. Many of our competitors know only some best practices and, rather than setting a comprehensive strategy and tactical plan, they tend to jump in to implement randomized tasks without sufficient strategic focus from the beginning.
In addition to this, at the heart of both our internal processes and our client relations is transparency. We clearly lay out tasks with complete visibility about what we're going to be working on. Many of our prospects come to us saying they never knew what their previous SEOs were working on and even what they had accomplished. We have no intention of obscuring our work from view. It is our duty to involve our clients in the processes that directly impact their businesses.
We firmly believe in accountability and solid reporting. The bottom line: we do what we say we're going to do — and we make sure that our clients know that it is done. To do so, we offer month after month reports of our progress.
Finally, strong communication and responsiveness form the bedrock of our organization. We are masters at keeping in active communication with our clients. We are responsive to emails, do our best to answer all questions posed to us, and always ensure we have monthly calls to connect with our clients.
Ultimately, we want to be true partners to our clients — and from what we hear in the sales process, this orientation to client relations and aligning around a client’s success is by no means a given.
Our goal has always been to cultivate relationships with our clients that span long periods of time. This is one of the reasons we have decided to expand our offering this year to include other digital marketing services beyond SEO. We want to be full partners to our clients, and be able to answer their broader needs around other digital marketing pain points over time – thereby extending our current length of engagement with them to the benefit of both parties.
But the full game plan is not the only offer on the table. We are at the extreme advantage of having a team that can cover all elements of SEO strategy. This puts us in a position to tackle any aspects of our clients’ SEO that they might be struggling with. Professional link-building, for example, is highly specialized when done right and we are finding that this is a particular area that companies need assistance with.
We have also instituted a White Label component to our business where we offer companies the opportunity to present our SEO work to their clients with their branding on it. This is a win-win situation for both parties, allowing them to increase their offering and us to grow our reach. As well as this, we have a referral program in place where we offer a commission for a successful introduction to a new client.
This year, we have also added a range of ancillary, complementary services to our offering—CRO, web design, inbound marketing, PPC, and digital PR—while retaining our firm footing in SEO.
And, exciting news! We’ve just launched our very own SEO platform. We want to demystify SEO so that it is accessible to a variety of skill levels. Through our easy-to-navigate platform, we have trimmed the fat and streamlined the process, ensuring a smooth user experience is guaranteed for everyone, regardless of skill level.
As a company, we are in a position where we have assembled the A-team of digital marketers, able to expertly conceive of and implement a wide variety of digital marketing strategies. Nothing pleases us more than fitting our skills to our client's specific needs.
It is from this philosophical space that we envisioned Sure Oak’s mission:
To empower people to reach their full potential and live their wildest dreams.
Purpose is everything — in both one’s personal and professional lives. It is a guiding force to integrity and intentional growth.
With that in mind, we have found that the key factors for running a successful digital marketing agency are as follows:
- The happiness of your team and the profitability of your company are linked. As a fully remote team, it’s imperative that our communication channels remain open and that nobody feels as if they are an island floating away from the mainland of our company. As is the case of many businesses in our contemporary world, we don’t have the luxury of bumping into each other while grabbing coffee in the kitchen. As far as possible, I try to engineer these otherwise organic moments by checking in with individuals, getting to know where they’re at personally, and finding out if they have concerns.
- It’s imperative that you plan for rainy days. If 2020 taught us anything, it’s that the unpredictable can enter dramatically and forever change the course of our lives. making sure that you do not spend your money all at once. Keep adequate cash on hand to cover multiple months of expenses if you want to ensure your business will be around for the long haul. I’ve seen too many entrepreneurs leave only the dregs in their company accounts while they roll around in take-home income. This is never a good idea. Cash flow oils your entrepreneurial machine and, unless you keep this in mind, difficult times are going to bring you to a grinding halt.
- Help your clients succeed and you’ll succeed. Success hinges on how well you answer the needs of your clients over time. The competitive landscape is constantly changing, and businesses that are still coming up with solutions to yesterday’s problems are going to drown. You have to listen, read, talk, respond. Challenging times are the playground of the most innovative and aware. If you are not willing to adapt, your survival is unlikely. In addition to these, some other important factors are:
- Process. Process. Process. It’s a necessity to put workable systems in place that will grow with your company
- The Productivity Paradox is real. Find YOUR tech tools and stick to them.
- Build an A-Team. You are only as good as your weakest link. You now have the opportunity to access the best global talent, regardless of geography. Use it.
The competitive landscape, the amount of work needed to reach objectives, and the aggressiveness of client goals all play a factor in determining the cost of a project.
One of our recent success stories for a B2B SaaS company saw us achieving a 51% increase in demo signups as the result of implementing a holistic SEO strategy. For another client in the insurance industry, we were able to increase their traffic by 773% as well as see their number of referring domains multiply 29-fold! In our fastest result to date, one of our other clients had their organic traffic increased by 538% in only 2 months.
We’ve realized however that, in order to fully address the needs of our clients, we have to go beyond this core offering. Through our expansion into other areas of digital marketing, we have seen that client retention is what catalyzes the greatest ROI for us personally. That means being able to provide as many digital marketing services as possible—and with the same expertise that we have become known for. If our clients need something done, we want to be able to put our hands up and say, “Yes, we can do that—and we can do it well!”
Added to this, we’ve found great benefit in partnering with compatible companies to provide white label SEO services. When you hit the sweet spot, this kind of symbiotic relationship can yield great ROI for both companies involved.

"SureOak: Novarad's SEO Expert and Quiet Partner Behind the Scenes"
Review Summary
The SEO plan Sure Oak developed for us was custom-made, considering the complexity of our products and services, the demanding nature of our customer base, and the long sales cycles associated with our industry. Their strategy focused on creating SEO-rich content and robust link-building initiatives, which have effectively driven more organic traffic to our website and improved our online engagement metrics.
What was the project name that you have worked with Sure Oak?
Product Search Engine Optimization
Describe your project in brief
Our project has multiple angles. Primarily we are in a tough spot with a jam packed market (medical imaging IT, PACS/RIS) and competition is fierce. And conversely, we have cutting edge products that are related to virtual reality, specifically Augmented Reality for Surgical Navigation. While these different sides of the same industry are complimentary, it is a complex task to build an effective SEO strategy that can capture both of the broader product lines our company creates. So the project is a classic SEO effort, but its almost like having to create SEO for two different companies. So we rely on Sureoak to be an objective voice in the SEO space to help use keep track of our campaigns, different they may be, to bolster our web presence and brand.

Sure Oak delivers on its goals
Review Summary
In three months, our traffic has grown roughly 125% and our team has dialed in specific directions for optimizing and creating more optimized content that matches our target user-base. We have achieved dozens of targeted high-value search terms that have gone from double-digit results to top 3—including many top 1 positions...and we feel we've just gotten started.
What is it about the company that you appreciate the most?
We love the personal attention. We worked closely with a small group of team members who specialize in our exact project needs. Eventually, the team honed down into a point person who we work with to generate the recommended SEO directions and modifications for the site. This is desirable because it presents a more specialized client experience with someone who we feel truly understands what we do, how we do it, and the goals we want to achieve.
What was it about the company that you didn't like which they should do better?
Nothing so far.

Thank you, Clint. We absolutely love working with you! Appreciate the review :)
Sure Oak Delivers
Review Summary
Not only do they do all of the things one would expect from an SEO firm -- keyword research, on-page and off-page optimization, etc. -- but I've found them to be an essential partner in making broader business strategy changes that result in higher conversion rates.
They come prepared to each monthly meeting with a detailed report and next-step recommendations. They're reliable, responsive, and sharp. As an added bonus, they're delightful people to work with.

Thank you, Brad. You too are a delightful person. We're a great match & team, aren't we? Looking forward to continuing the partnership :)

Link Building Services for Northern California B2B Media Property
Review Summary
What is it about the company that you appreciate the most?
The Sure Oak team really knows SEO and they make it a priority to keep their clients informed on what is happening in the industry landscape. They always delivered on their promises and set clear expectations for the scope of work.
What was it about the company that you didn't like which they should do better?
More in-depth reporting on the success of the backlink campaigns rather than the actions taken each month would have been helpful, but due to the nature and budget of my project, I understand why the reports are kept brief and to the point.

We appreciate the review and feedback, Shana! We look forward to working with you soon again.
