Rod has been instrumental in transforming the digital marketing efforts for my audiovisual company. His expertise in SEO, web development, and conversion rate optimization (CRO) has made a significant impact. Before working with Rod, I had to invest heavily in Google Ads to get leads. Now, thanks to his efforts, we are seeing a steady stream of leads from organic search results. Traffic, click-through rates, and conversions have all increased significantly. If you're looking for someone who is dedicated, competent, and communicative, Rod is the person you need. You won't be disappointed!

I've enjoyed interacting with Rod from both the vendor and the client side. There are not many people that I come across who possess the unique mix of intelligence, drive and competency that Rod brings to the table. From Enterprise IT to Sales Operations to Marketing and SEO, Rod is capable of bringing huge value to teams and organizations. His constant search for cutting edge technology to solve real business problems, combined with his entrepreneurial drive and great personality make Rod the type of executive that I prefer to work with throughout my career.

I hired Rod to build a few of my websites. His creativity and design skills are FANTASTIC. I didn't have many ideas as far as I wanted the design to be like so I just left it up to his expertise. The websites are INCREDIBLE. Rod also has some of the greatest customer service skills I've ever encountered. When I need more websites built, I am 100% going to Rod.
