Bruce Clay, Inc. has established an industry reputation as a high-quality and effective technology provider in SEO, PPC, Analytics, SEO Web Design and Branding. We are exceptionally well known in the industry and maintain a truly colleague-level ongoing relationship with other industry leaders. The search engines and other leading technology firms have extended agency recognition, and we are empowered in ways our competition can only hope to obtain. Our expert implementation staff has an industry reputation of excellence in utilizing our technology know-how in a quick and efficient manner and at a pace and depth that assures success.

Three main things affect industry reputation:

1. It is our unique ability to provide highly efficient proprietary technology that has allowed us to deliver quality rankings in very short periods of time. These tools include (in part) research, detailed site analysis and revisions, reporting, and link building tools. Reference http://www.seotoolset.com.
2. In other instances, it is the world-respected content at our web site that has resulted in significant praise from colleagues and site clients. We have been a multi-year presenter at major industry conferences (Search Engine Strategies, ad:Tech, WebmasterWorld, Search Marketing Expo (SMX)), we are a Premier Sponsor at SES and SMX, and have been sponsoring SES since 2003 and are the first Premier Sponsor for SMX hosted by Danny Sullivan and remain long-term sponsors today.

   We operate offices in London, Sydney, Tokyo and Cape Town, with more planned, and speak at international conferences. We are a 5-star rated SEO firm according to the Marketing Sherpa Guide, and we are highly recommended by Search Engine Watch (a division of Incisivemedia.com). We have been the number one ranked SEO training firm and the top SEO firm by topseos.com, and top five SEO firm by promotionworld.com, clearly showing us to be a major SEO resource. Within the SEO industry we publish one of the top Blogs, emphasizing our focus on branding and social marketing.

   We authored the SEO Code of Ethics and created the Search Engine Relationship Chart®, now an industry standard. We are one of the few firms to have written proprietary SEO tools including search engine code. We are one of the very few firms with the depth of knowledge to perform face-to-face client training on advanced SEO tactics. And we are universally recognized by name as one of the top firms in the world. Virtually all of our competition knows who we are and respects our accomplishments -- just ask around.

3. In all cases, the major beneficiary of the technology is the customer where high rankings are the number one objective. By way of example we offer these items of proof:
1. The ranking of our site itself. Using the major industry recognized keywords sought by ALL sites competing for your business (such as "Search Engine Optimization", the hardest in our industry) our site has the best overall ranking across the major search engines. We have been in the top-5 positions in Google for this keyword since Google started. Certainly any good SEO firm will have achieved high rankings for these major industry keywords in competition with their peers, and we offer ourselves as an example.
2. Our client sites and their recommendations. We have excellent references available when appropriate.

In all cases Bruce Clay, Inc. stands as one of the best Internet Marketing firms in the world.
