Barely. Rearranging my schedule for Wednesday.

And a search marketing agency not practicing reputation management? C’mon!

Still up eh? Or have you moved to a morning friendly schedule now?
Doubt they even know I’m here TBH.

Of course not. That’s what RSS feeds and Google alerts were made for. I actually read this a few seconds after you posted it but decided against an “immediate” reply in case you though I was stalking you ;P

Reputation management I believe?

Anyway, perhaps we’ll see captive digital reply?

Did you mean me?

There is not very much to say about their “landing page”. It’s a holding page. Their parent company must have money to burn unless it is some weird branding exercise that makes very little sense to the uninitiated.

What sort of end user would go with or even give a chance to a company offering “search engine marketing” services without any content, credibility factors, previous experience listings or demonstration of ability in any way?

I feel sorry for them. I see this every day, companies blowing money through Google. If there is any sort of sales funnel to this marketing method, I don’t see it.

I wonder what Mr Davis would say about their landing pages

I was going to offer some advice about the thin content until I noticed that they are advertising ‘Search Engine Marketing’ as one of their services.

Hopefully they’ll get it sorted out sooner rather than later. The weird thing is that I thought they were a subsidiary of a large UK outfit (therefore with bankroll)?

They’re bidding on the keywords in Ireland, but their site is incredibly lacking in information.
