Please include a summary of key deliverables.Wendell Estate Honey is a Canadian company virtually unknown in the USA. We contracted Sure Oak to assist with optimizing SEO with a specific focus on potential customers in the USA as we attempt to expand in the American market. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?Increased rankings in keyword search terms, with many relevant keyword terms moving from Google search ranking of page 2 or beyond to Google page 1, some reaching the number 1 position on Google search rankings. Increased search impressions and clicks. Increased sales and new customersDescribe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?After researching and speaking with multiple different marketing companies, we chose Sure Oak to guide our small company (Wendell Estate Honey) with SEO optimizations. Whenever we outsource work to a consultant, we seem to encounter several issues to varying degrees: The consultant doesn’t understand/listen to our requirements, so the product delivered is different from the product requested/required.The consultant either lacks expertise or dedication and the product delivered is less than expected and/or requires multiple revisions with time-consuming supervision. The consultant delivers the product but doesn’t reply to the “how” and “why” questions that would help us understand the product better: how and why it works and what to do when it doesn’t. The consultant doesn’t reply promptly to questions or requests for modifications on the product. In the end I’m often left wondering how much effort the consultant put in and was our investment worth it. Or did we choose a sub-optimal consulting company? Our experience with Sure Oak was the complete opposite. We were fortunate to have Roy M. as our dedicated SEO Strategist. From the beginning, Roy listened to what we needed, and, importantly, understood what I was requesting and requiring.Obviously extremely knowledgeable in all areas of SEO (and beyond), he tailored his SEO recommendations perfectly to our product, brand image and capabilities (Wendell Estate Honey is a boutique brand of premium honey – quite a rare niche). Roy always responded to my many questions promptly, thoroughly and in a way that I could understand. He was constantly accessible, responsive, and flexible, offering creative solutions to our company’s fairly unique issues. From our bi-weekly meetings and inter-meeting email communications, there was no doubt that, despite us being a small customer, Roy and the Sure Oak staff were working hard on our behalf to deliver excellence. Most importantly, we can see results. Our website has shot up the search rankings in many of our most important keyword search terms, moving from Google page 2 or 3 or beyond to the first page, with some keyword terms hitting number 1 on Google search rankings. it’s early yet as we just finished our contract with Sure Oak and have some more recommendations to implement, so I expect we will see even more improvement in SEO rankings in the coming weeks and months. The corresponding increase in sales has been significant and better than expected. In short, Sure Oak exceeded my expectations in every aspect and has been (by far) the most satisfying and measurably effective consulting company that I have had the pleasure to work with. I highly recommend Sure Oak's services.What was your primary form of communication with Sure Oak?Virtual MeetingEmail or Messaging AppWhat did you find most impressive or unique about this company?Listening to and understanding our requirements Offering creative solutions to our rather unique situation that were tailored perfectly for our product and brand image Accessibility and promptness of reply and actionThoroughness and quality of recommendations/solutions A clear dedication to putting in admirable effort in providing even a small customer with superb service. Measureable results that exceeded expectationsAre there any areas for improvement or something Sure Oak could have done differently?Not a single thing. --- #### SEO, PPC & Content Optimization for Cybersecurity Company **The Project** - Services: Conversion Optimization, Search Engine Optimization - Project size: Confidential - Project length: Nov. 2022 - Ongoing **Project Summary**: Sure Oak provides SEO, PPC, and content optimization services for a cybersecurity company.

We started with a number of strategy sessions to fully understand what our business does and what type of websites are correlated with what we provide.

Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and campaigns. It started with an onboarding call, in which we discussed what we're looking to get out of this project and any specific keywords they should look for.

The team is transparent, understanding, and helpful, and they offer tailored services to accommodate the client’s specific needs. "“We’re very happy with Sure Oak’s involvement because our growth has been very clear.”" **BACKGROUND** Introduce your business and what you do there. I’m a senior digital marketing specialist at SideChef, a recipes and grocery delivery app. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with Sure Oak? We were stuck with our organic traffic growth. We did some SEO in-house, but we didn’t have people dedicated specifically to link building. Thus, we reached out to Sure Oak to take over this challenge for us. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? Sure Oak has taken over our link-building efforts, generating backlinks to increase our organic traffic. First, we provided them with access to our Google Search Console so that they could assess our situation. Then, they came up with a proposal detailing specific areas in which they thought link building would help us generate more organic traffic. Their assessment was great because they chose the areas we also had in mind even though we didn’t share them with their team — we were on the same page. What is the team composition? So far, I’ve worked with three people from Sure Oak. Initially, I had a call with Dalley (Growth Consultant), who assigned our case to Ben (Client Success Manager). He and another person have been working on our account since then. How did you come to work with Sure Oak? I was searching for backlinking services through Search Engine Journal, a popular blog in the digital marketing community. They had a listicle about agencies that provided those services worth looking into, and Sure Oak was on that list. We reached out to and interviewed five agencies, including them. Many of them offered link-building services as part of their SEO packages. However, Sure Oak was one of the only agencies flexible enough to provide us with link-building services only, which was what we needed. How much have you invested with them? We pay them $3,000 per month for their services, but we can either increase or reduce that amount after our six-month contract if we need more or fewer services. What is the status of this engagement? We started working together in January 2022, and our engagement is ongoing. We signed a six-month contract, but we probably will renew our contract because they’ve over-delivered so far. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?  We’ve seen a 60% increase in traffic on one of the pages that Sure Oak has helped us promote, as well as a 17% increase in traffic con another of the pages. When working on SEO, it generally takes time to see results, and it gets hard to demonstrate certain growth to our leadership quickly. However, we’re very happy with Sure Oak’s involvement because our growth has been very clear in the specific areas they’re working on after only two months. Thus, it has been easy to explain the benefits of this investment to my manager, which has helped us continue our collaboration with Sure Oak. How did Sure Oak perform from a project management standpoint? Our collaboration with Sure Oak has been very transparent. From the start, they explained very clearly how our partnership would work. We have biweekly calls, and they provide us with monthly reports. If we have any questions about the reporting, they give us the option to jump on a Zoom call. Additionally, they’re very helpful and willing in providing answers to questions outside of their scope, like SEO consultancy. Additionally, Sure Oak is very flexible and accommodating regarding our time difference. Our company is physically located in Shanghai, but we also have offices in the US. However, I don’t have to have 1 a.m. calls, and they arrange them to be either during the early morning or in the afternoon. Usually, those calls are via Zoom or Google Meet. What did you find most impressive about them? Sure Oak’s understanding is impressive. While other companies provided us with successful case studies when we were looking for a partner, those case studies weren’t relevant to our niche, so we thought that it was difficult for them to understand our market. However, Sure Oak presented very clear case studies relevant to our business, and they didn’t even bother to present anything outside our niche.  In addition to that, Sure Oak offers a very personalized and human experience. From our initial call, it has been very easy to work with them. They’re very accommodating in how they provide their services, making them a great fit for us. Are there any areas they could improve? So far, I wouldn’t change anything about what Sure Oak does. Do you have any advice for potential customers? Be straightforward, and don’t be afraid of telling them exactly what you want, whether it be a success metric or a specific budget that you’re limited to. --- #### SEO Services for Online Bathroom Partitions Distributor **The Project** - Services: Search Engine Optimization - Project size: $50,000 to $199,999 - Project length: Sep. 2020 - Ongoing **Project Summary**: Sure Oak provides SEO services for an online bathroom partitions distributor.

Sure Oak’s team stands out for their experience. They work great together and lead an efficient project management process. ""They just seem to be more experienced about the technical aspect of SEO than other companies." " **BACKGROUND** Introduce your business and what you do there. We’re a distributor of toilet partitions. I’m the VP and part owner of the company. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with Sure Oak? We wanted help with SEO. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? We started off with Sure Oak reviewing our website content and making technical adjustments. We had keywords already established, but we went through those with their team just to confirm which ones were extremely important to the business. They’ve helped change some of the content that was on the site and worked on creating backlinks. Also, they have a road map of what they do every month. What is the team composition? We have three main people working with us — a lead technician, a project manager, and a content specialist. We work with other people, but they just review some of the road map accomplishments every month. How did you come to work with Sure Oak? It was a referral from another reputable company. How much have you invested with them? So far, we’ve spent $76,000. What is the status of this engagement? We began working together in September 2020, and our partnership is ongoing. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? We look at the organic visits to our website and the calls-to-action that they completed. Not only did we see a rise in organic searches and visits, but those visitors also converted and went through the different channels that we wanted them to go to. How did Sure Oak perform from a project management standpoint? They’ve been great. They’re a small team, and it seems like they’ve been working with each other for quite some time. Some of the upper-level people are pretty well-experienced, so they have it together. For project management, we just use shared Google documents. We communicate through email or phone calls. What did you find most impressive about them? They just seem to be more experienced about the technical aspect of SEO than other companies. At the beginning, they came out without sugarcoating it and told us what we needed to do to get higher rankings. Do you have any advice for potential customers? Sure Oak’s proposal is pretty well defined, but I would shop around and compare — maybe even talk to some other customers about their experience. --- #### SEO & Web Migration Service for Energy Holding Company **The Project** - Services: Search Engine Optimization - Project size: $10,000 to $49,999 - Project length: Feb. - Apr. 2021 **Project Summary**: Sure Oak merged three websites into one for an energy holding company.

They also showed great knowledge in SEO. ""The team is incredibly knowledgeable, and they are professional but also fun and personable." " **BACKGROUND** Please describe your company and your position there. I am the Lead UX Designer for a large renewable energy company. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** For what projects/services did your company hire Sure Oak, and what were your goals? We were merging three old websites into one new website as part of a rebranding effort. We hired Sure Oak to help us optimize all the new website content and to help us manage the migration so we didn't lose our existing search positioning. **SOLUTION** How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors? We were referred to Sure Oak by our previous agency, which they had recently acquired. Their professionalism and detailed proposal for our project, along with the strong recommendation from the owner of the previous agency, helped us decide to move forward with their services. Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and campaigns. We began with a few deep-dive meetings to help them understand our business and our target market, which is a little bit unique from other industries. Sure Oak performed audits on all three of our existing websites to make sure that all content was accounted for, and created an in-depth migration map for us. As we determined what content would be carried over and what new content needed to be created, Sure Oak performed the keyword research for every page to help us optimize all the new web pages before launch. They also helped us with organizing all of our redirects after migration and performed a post-launch audit to help us clean up our pages and improve our page rankings. How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions? We primarily worked with the Director of SEO Strategy and the Senior SEO Strategist. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables? We had a truly seamless brand launch, thanks in large part to the Sure Oak team. They were with us every step of the way to make sure our content was optimized, that our redirects were in place, and that nothing got left behind. We have only had the new site live for about a month but are already seeing excellent traffic - much higher than I would have anticipated for a site migration or new website, and I have no doubt that it's because of Sure Oak's guidance. Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness. Sure Oak is very organized and very communicative. Every call we had was followed by an email with relevant action items, and their team was very timely on all deliverables. I didn't see any detail slip through the cracks with them! Any bottlenecks that did occur were on our side, not theirs. The team is incredibly knowledgeable, and they are professional but also fun and personable. I enjoyed all of our meetings with the Sure Oak team. What did you find most impressive or unique about this company? Their expertise in SEO and specifically in backlink strategy makes them a stand-out in their industry. They had a solid strategy for every component of our brand launch and were able to articulate both the strategy and the reasons for the strategy to our team. I was so impressed by how well their work to prep for our migration played out during the actual launch, and with what we've seen already in post-launch traffic. Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently? Unfortunately due to our company's internal requirements, we had to shift to an existing vendor for ongoing SEO so we didn't give Sure Oak the opportunity to run with our long-term strategy or to get creative. When we worked with them, we were 100% focused on site migration and brand launch, and they did an exemplary job with that! I don't have any areas for improvement in our experience with them, and I am sure they would have continued to impress us over the long term as well. --- #### SEO for Open Innovation Platform **The Project** - Services: Search Engine Optimization - Project size: Less than $10,000 - Project length: Sep. - Dec. 2020 **Project Summary**: Sure Oak provided SEO services for an open innovation platform. The team worked to help increase the client's domain authority and online presence. **Review Rating**: 4.5 - Quality: 5.0 - Schedule: 5.0 - Cost: 4.0 - Willing to Refer: 4.5 **The Reviewer** Digital Marketing Manager, Open Innovation Platform - Industry: Other industries - Client size: 1-10 Employees - Review Type: Online Review - Verified **The Review** — Dec 8, 2020 **Feedback Summary**: The engagement helped the company acquire a series of backlinks from high domain authority websites, meeting the goals of the internal team. Sure Oak is reliable and consistent, establishing an effective workflow. The team is hard-working, driven, and organized.  ""They were able to help us achieve things we couldn't on our own." " **BACKGROUND** Please describe your company and your position there. We are an open innovation platform that allows you to innovate faster by detecting and contacting the best experts or the most relevant companies. I am in charge of digital marketing **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** For what projects/services did your company hire Sure Oak? We wanted to increase our domain authority in order to be more competitive in seo. We found several solutions that didn't suit us enough. SureOak allowed us to have real quality links to sites that are interesting for us. What were your goals for this project? We wanted to increase our AD and thus bring more seo traffic to our site **SOLUTION** How did you select Sure Oak? We first looked for a solution in our country (France) but none clearly answered our problem. We then searched for an English-speaking company on Google and came across Sure Oak. We set up a meeting so that they fully understand our issues and objectives. After a period of reflection and comparison with other offers we decided to work with them. Describe the scope of their work in detail. We first had an interview so that they could get to know our expectations and we could get to know their skills. Once the need was well established, SureOak offered us to do a test at a reduced price over 1 month. At the end of this period we continued with one of their classic formulas. We had access to a detailed report that they agreed to provide us every week. Our exchanges went well with the whole team and they were always reactive and attentive to our requests. What was the team composition? Our first contact was with the Growth director. We then had a project manager who followed us closely. We also met other members of the team through a kickoff. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success? We have not been able to carry out our project for a very long time so we have not been able to perceive any significant improvement in our domain authority. On the other hand the links provided were always related to our domain and lexical field. The domain authority of the acquired links was always above ours. We had also asked to acquire links on a certain type of site related to our field of activity and our request was respected. How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs? The project manager was always listening to us and explained things well. They answered all our questions and accepted some of our requests (such as having a weekly report). They were very responsive to our emails. What did you find most impressive about this company? I didn't think they could make us gain so many links with such high domain authorities and on sites we were interested in, but they seemed very difficult to acquire if we would have had to do this campaign on our own. They were able to help us achieve things we couldn't on our own.  Are there any areas for improvement? We would have liked to see our domain authority increase even if our had to be conducted over a short period of time. --- #### Link Building for Car Dealership **The Project** - Services: Content Marketing - Project size: $10,000 to $49,999 - Project length: Feb. 2020 - Ongoing **Project Summary**: Sure Oak collaborated with a car dealership on an ongoing link building campaign supporting a new site.

They were responsible for providing link building services for that site. What is the team composition? I work directly with an account representative.   How did you come to work with Sure Oak? I found them online searching for link building agencies. Reaching out to those with impressive websites, we decided to interview several of the providers through a proposal process. They seemed like the best fit for the work and were professional.  How much have you invested with them? We’ve spent between $10,000–$20,000. What is the status of this engagement? We’ve been working with them since February 2020. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? They delivered the link quantity and quality that we agreed on at the start of the project. Our industry is pretty unique, without tons of potential sites that could link to u. However, they landed good-quality leads with relevant resources. That allowed us to show up higher in organic rankings.  How did Sure Oak perform from a project management standpoint? They respond right away to my questions and concerns. Their reports are also structured well. What did you find most impressive about them? They’ve handled the account well in terms of quality and quantity of links.   Are there any areas they could improve?

They all did a really good job. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables? I am very satisfied with their service. I would say it is maybe a little bit expensive, but the quality has a price I guess! Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timelines. We are mainly communicating through emails and I feel it efficient regarding our projects. What did you find most impressive or unique about this company? The service in general is very satisfying. Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently? I would say regarding our recurring projects through the months, maybe to be more flexible on outside project tasks.

Reaction time on my emails is short and in case I'd like to have a personal call then they can also always schedule this on short notice. What did you find most impressive about this company? The very personal approach towards their customer impressed us. Are there any areas for improvement? If I would have to find a point to describe here then I'd hope they could make things a bit cheaper. But that's just nitpicking. --- #### SEO for Senior Living Community Portal **The Project** - Services: Search Engine Optimization - Project size: Less than $10,000 - Project length: Mar. - July 2020 **Project Summary**: Sure Oak provided SEO services for a senior living community portal.

We chose Sure Oak due to their experience with other clients in our industry and due to their comprehensive analysis of our site's SEO. Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and campaigns. Sure Oak created an initial report that detailed the current status of our SEO, then scheduled monthly calls and requirements for completion of the campaign. These objectives were based around site architecture, content, on-page/off-page SEO, and link building. Each month, Sure Oak would provide Content Briefs that described keywords to hit on specific pages on the site, which aspects of on-page or off-page SEO to improve, and other suggestions on how to improve the site. They also provided an update on traffic data over time, where they had obtained backlinks, and what the goals were for the next month.

" **BACKGROUND** Please describe your company and your position there. Pro Tool Reviews started in 2008 and writes about construction industry power tools, hand tools, and accessories. We provide reviews, editorials, and news. I am the owner and editor-in-chief. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** For what projects/services did your company hire Sure Oak? Having written more than 5,000 high-quality articles and reviews, we realized we needed a better sense of direction for our editorial team. We provide a lot of content, but that content didn't target proper keywords and lacked prioritization. We also had some technical website issues that held us back from achieving the best possible SEO for our content. What were your goals for this project? Our goals involved increasing traffic to our existing content, gaining insight into proper directions to maximize our core areas of expertise, and maximizing the efforts of our editorial team as a whole. **SOLUTION** How did you select this vendor? We did an extensive online search for domestic SEO companies with excellent results and who worked with companies of similar size and reputation (or better) as Pro Tool Reviews. Describe the project in detail. Sure Oak works with us to focus our SEO efforts so we can optimize our editorial team on better keywords and topics. It also works to suggest modifications to existing articles. What was the team composition? 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.

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. How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs? Communication and accessibility continue to be excellent and includes weekly emails and monthly video calls. What did you find most impressive about this company? Our results show that Sure Oak delivers on its goals. They are professional, and we've been very pleased with the results.

The team has been an adaptable partner, doing what they can to fulfill the business needs. In addition to being transparent, they are very responsive. ""Given the moment we’re in with the pandemic, the team has been incredibly flexible, shifting the scope of their work." " **BACKGROUND** Introduce your business and what you do there. I’m the president of Throughline Group, a media and presentation training firm. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with Sure Oak? We are in a competitive industry with a lot of companies that offer presentation training. Our company has something different to offer than many of our competitors. Our goal was to be more visible in organic search for search terms related to media or presentation training.  **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? Sure Oak did keyword research, on- and off-page optimization, and backlink work. Additionally, the team gave us feedback that went into business strategy beyond the narrow sleeve of SEO. What is the team composition? We work with 4–5 teammates in total, but a core 2–3.  How did you come to work with Sure Oak? I did an exhaustive online search and found their brand presence to be smart. The way they talked about their own company was similar to how we talk about ours. I interviewed a few different companies, and even in those initial conversations, Sure Oak stood out as different and sharp in their approach.  How much have you invested with them? We spend about $4,000 per month which comes up to around $50,000 per year. What is the status of this engagement? Our engagement began in May 2019 and it’s ongoing. We do a monthly retainer and there’s no specific end date in sight. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?  There have been definite improvements in where we rank for some of the more important keywords for our business. Every month, Sure Oak assesses our keyword rankings and how that compares in terms of traffic and conversions, as well as overall Google ratings and positions.  We haven’t achieved everything that we have our eyes set on, but in many ways, we’re on our way there. We can definitely see an upward trend in terms of our visibility and rankings. We’re also starting to see results in terms of our site visits and impressions. How did Sure Oak perform from a project management standpoint? Project management is one of their greatest strengths. We have a monthly call which is preceded by a detailed report, allowing us to review it and come to the call with informed questions. Given the moment we’re in with the pandemic, the team has been incredibly flexible, shifting the scope of work to meet the business strategy for us.  This specifically means focusing more on remote or virtual trainings as opposed to in-person trainings. That wasn’t part of the original scope of work, but they didn’t hesitate to make a change to it because it was obvious that that’s what needed to happen in order for us to be okay during this time.  What did you find most impressive about them? They’re very responsive. When we email them with questions, we usually hear back from them within 24 hours. They’re also accountable, showing us the areas where they have and haven’t had success through their monthly reports.  I find that transparency really helpful. It also suggests that, rather than trying to make themselves look good, they really are focused on being business partners. If there are areas where they aren’t achieving success, we’re able to work together to come up with a strategy. I really appreciate that partnership. Increasingly, I see them as a partner, not a vendor. Are there any areas they could improve? No, there’s nothing I can think of. We’ve been very happy with their work. Do you have any advice for potential customers? Think about what’s most important to you and come to the conversation with very specific objectives that you’re hoping to achieve or methods of work that are important to you. Each company should figure out what their bullseye is and Sure Oak will be responsive. However, they can’t be responsive to objectives that aren’t clearly articulated. --- #### Link Building for B2B Publisher **The Project** - Services: Pay Per Click, Search Engine Optimization - Project size: Less than $10,000 - Project length: Sep. 2019 - Apr. 2020 **Project Summary**: A B2B publisher hired Sure Oak to help create inbound links to its posts. They generated high-quality backlinks to the publisher's articles. **Review Rating**: 5.0 - Quality: 5.0 - Schedule: 5.0 - Cost: 5.0 - Willing to Refer: 5.0 **The Reviewer** Inbound Marketing Manager, Hearst Bay Area - Industry: Media - Client size: 201-500 Employees - Review Type: Online Review - Verified **The Review** — Apr 13, 2020 **Feedback Summary**: Sure Oak delivered or exceeded its promises each month, pushing website traffic well above what it was previously.  Communication was easy between the publisher and Sure Oak's knowledgable team. ""I am pleased with the work they performed and I will likely hire them again in the future." " **BACKGROUND** Please describe your company and your position there. I am the Inbound Marketing Manager for Hearst Bay Area, Northern California's largest news media and services group. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** For what projects/services did your company hire Sure Oak? As a publisher in the B2B space, Hearst Bay Area is focused on creating and distributing high-quality marketing-related content. However, we were not seeing a ton of inbound links to our articles, despite the effort we put in to create each blog post. We decided to hire Sure Oak to help us generate some high-quality backlinks to some of our articles. What were your goals for this project? At our budget, the goal was to have 5 new backlinks generated to the articles of our choosing each month, which would hopefully improve our overall website rankings, domain authority, and search performance. **SOLUTION** How did you select this vendor? I had met the CEO at a conference a couple of years prior to joining Hearst Bay Area and when the need for good SEO services arose, I knew who to contact. Describe the project in detail. After our initial strategy call, we settled on a budget and a timeframe, and after getting some initial information about our biggest competitors and the industry landscape, we agreed upon which articles they would target for their backlink outreach campaigns. We also discussed a number of different tactics like guest posting and varying the anchor texts to make sure we were hitting the project from all potential angles. What was the team composition? When we initially started, I was working with an account manager and a strategist. The roles did shift slightly over time, but my main interactions were with my account manager. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success? Sure Oak delivered on their promises every month by generating 5 (and sometimes more) links back to the content in question. At the same time, we were ramping up production into a bunch of different target verticals, so the work they did in conjunction with our efforts helped to push our website traffic well above what it had been at the start of our project. It is hard to say exactly which piece of the puzzle contributed the most to the overall success of the website, but I am certain that the backlinks they generated for us had an impact on our overall growth. How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs? We communicated once per month about which article to focus on for that time frame, and once every 3 months to do a more in-depth touch base. We mostly communicated via email and sometimes over a zoom call. What did you find most impressive about this company? Sure Oak are very knowledgeable about white-hat SEO best practices and as a remote agency, they have good communication and were able to deliver exactly what they said they would. Are there any areas for improvement? I am pleased with the work they performed and I will likely hire them again in the future when I have a larger budget for SEO services. The only feedback I have would be for them to provide more in-depth reporting on the impacts of their work. I would have been able to potentially scale my investment if they could have shown me more concrete evidence of the improvements for each article they worked on, which backlinks were proving the most valuable, and what it might look like if I, for instance, had decided to double my investment in backlinks for that specific article. --- #### SEO & Link Building for FinTech Company **The Project** - Services: Search Engine Optimization - Project size: $10,000 to $49,999 - Project length: Nov. 2019 - Ongoing **Project Summary**: Sure Oak assists in link building with the client's new content-driven organic search strategy. They did an in-depth SEO audit including keyword research and backlink audit. **Review Rating**: 5.0 - Quality: 5.0 - Schedule: 5.0 - Cost: 5.0 - Willing to Refer: 5.0 **The Reviewer** Program Manager, Financial Service - Industry: Financial services - Client size: 11-50 Employees - Review Type: Online Review - Verified **The Review** — Mar 6, 2020 **Feedback Summary**: So far, the pages Sure Oak decided to target are increasing in Google ranking and link building has been consistent and steady. They have great communication skills and are enjoyable to work with. In a timely fashion, they answer questions with a thorough response.   ""Sure Oak sets a target number of links, and they get it done." " **BACKGROUND** Please describe your company and your position there. Our company is a fintech offering online personal finance tools as well as educational content on personal finance topics. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** For what projects/services did your company hire Sure Oak? We launched a content-driven organic search strategy in the spring of 2019, and enlisted Sure Oak's help late in the year to assist with this effort, particularly in the area of linkbuilding. What were your goals for this project? Our domain authority has always been fairly low, and we've never had much success in linkbuilding - most of our existing backlinks were organic or the result of partnerships, publicity, etc. The goal for this project was to start to build a stronger backlink profile, while targeting key pages we would like to get on page 1 for high-converting keywords. **SOLUTION** How did you select this vendor? We compared several vendors and consultants for this project. Among them, Sure Oak rose above the rest due to their methodical approach, strong team, and demonstrated success in linkbuilding. Describe the project in detail. The project began with an in-depth SEO audit, which they call the "Game Plan." This audit was far more thorough than similar audits we have done with other firms. It also included keyword research and a backlink audit with comparison to several of our competitors. From there, we decided to optimize 5 key pages on the site, and primarily target those pages in linkbuilding (in addition to the homepage and other relevant pages). What was the team composition? After initial conversations with the founder and sales head, we were assigned an account manager who has been our point person throughout the process. During the game plan process, we worked with a senior SEO and junior SEO, and during the ongoing portion of our relationship we've been working with a small team which includes SEO and linkbuilding specialists. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success? It's gone very well so far. We've seen our targeted pages climb up the rankings, and some of them are edging onto page one for key search terms. The linkbuilding has been very consistent and steady...they are very good at it. How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs? Communication is very good and everyone is great to work with. The account manager is quick to respond by email, and when we've had more technical questions, the relevant experts have given us thorough responses in a very timely fashion. What did you find most impressive about this company? I'm just extremely impressed with how well they deliver on the linkbuilding front. Some consultants we talked with wouldn't guarantee results, saying that linkbuilding is difficult and can have sporadic success...Sure Oak sets a target number of links, and they get it done. They also won't charge you for links they don't earn (if that were to happen). Are there any areas for improvement? Not yet. --- #### Backlink Clean Up for Nonprofit **The Project** - Services: Pay Per Click, Search Engine Optimization - Project size: $10,000 to $49,999 - Project length: Apr. 2019 - Jan. 2020 **Project Summary**: Sure Oak provided digital marketing services, including consulting on a backlink strategy. **Review Rating**: 5.0 - Quality: 5.0 - Schedule: 5.0 - Cost: 5.0 - Willing to Refer: 5.0 **The Reviewer** SEO Manager, The American Red Cross - Industry: Other industries - Client size: 10,001+ Employees - Review Type: Online Review - Verified **The Review** — Feb 21, 2020 **Feedback Summary**: Due to Sure Oak's services, clients' rankings improved significantly.

""The professionalism, customer service and thoroughness of their work were impressive." " **BACKGROUND** Please describe your company and your position there. I am the SEO Manager for The American Red Cross Biomedical division. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** For what projects/services did your company hire Sure Oak? During a website transition a few years back, some of the backlinks were broken. In addition, we had not ventured into the strategy of building quality backlinks.

Challenges Domain Instability: Frequent domain changes led to confusion for both users and search engines, weakening the site's authority. Limited Content: The newly designed website had minimal content, making it difficult to rank for relevant keywords. Low Trust Signals: With little existing content and authority, search engines had insufficient trust in the site, hindering its visibility.  Strategy To address these issues, Sure Oak implemented a comprehensive SEO strategy: Technical SEO Optimization: Established a clean technical foundation by executing mapped redirects and ensuring proper site architecture to recover and build upon existing authority. Content Development: Created high-quality, informative content targeting relevant keywords to enhance the site's relevance and authority in the commercial solar industry. Link Building: Secured backlinks from reputable sources to improve domain authority and drive referral traffic. Results The implementation of this strategy led to significant improvements: 228% Increase in Organic Conversions: More than tripled the number of conversions from organic search traffic. 123.5% Increase in Organic Sessions: More than doubled the number of visitors arriving through organic search. 100% Increase in Top 3 Keyword Rankings: Doubled the number of keywords ranking in the top three positions on search engine results pages.   ### 773% Increase in Traffic and 29X the Number   The Problem: A growing pet insurance provider,had just recently launched when they began work with Sure Oak. Our client was looking to rank for several keywords in order to help pet owners find them on Google. Our client focused on improving its on-page SEO and Sure Oak provided support with its link building services. The Solution:  Our client did what we would recommend for any business with a new website: invest early.  From a link building perspective, this was an ideal situation. Sometimes websites will write a blog post that ends up generating the bulk of the website’s traffic. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but a healthy link profile means a well-rounded link profile, and that means links to the homepage and other important pages on the website, not just a single blog post. But, with this client, we were able to build a comprehensive, high-quality backlink profile from the beginning. Initially, we focused on building links first to the pages that carry the most authority.  It was the homepage and a page explaining how they were different from their competitors. The Results: In only a few months, our client’s organic traffic grew 773.58% from August 1 to March 1. “Since our backlink work started with Sure Oak, we’ve seen a jump in many branded and non-branded keywords and a lift in our Ahrefs ranking. We value the work that Sure Oak has done, and continues to do, on our behalf!”    ### More Than 4X the Number of Leads From Organic Sear The Client: AdvancePoint Capital The Problem: AdvancePoint Capital, a loan alternative company, struggled to find the right SEO agency while also investing heavily in PPC. Wanting to focus on achieving organic results and compete with industry titans, AdvancePoint Capital turned to Sure Oak for SEO.  The Solution: Due to the competitiveness of the business loan industry, a comprehensive SEO strategy was the primary way to increase AdvancePoint Capital’s visibility in search engines. Existing pages on the site needed to be re-optimized, new pages targeted at previously unexplored high-volume, low-competition keywords needed to be created and the site needed more high-quality authoritative backlinks pointing to it. Although increasing the number of leads from organic search was one of our biggest goals, it wasn’t the only one. The other goal was to increase the website’s authority. We accomplished that too, by implementing a comprehensive link-building strategy comprised of both contextual and scholarship links. Our link-building campaign helped increase the domain authority of their website from 20 to 28. The Results: In four months of working with Sure Oak, lead volume for AdvancePoint Capital quadrupled and organic keyword rankings grew by 200%.   ### How we achieved a 51% increase in software demo si The Client: Maptive The Problem: After an algorithm update, Maptive had suffered a major loss in traffic. Not only this, but the traffic they were getting was less qualified than it had been historically. As a B2B SAAS company, most of their conversions came from free trials of their software, so this foreshadowed a calamity.  The Solution: With 1,000 different factors all influencing the site's rankings, we needed a holistic approach to really understand and address what was going on. For this, we turned to our proprietary SEO Game Plan for insights. This showed our team and Maptive the overall opportunity of different optimizations, how wide of a scope our project would require, the projected length of the project and many other important insights. First, a website audit was performed to better understand current roadblocks for indexation and user performance. Once these items were fixed and updated, an advanced SEO strategy began that included the following: Advanced Keyword Research Research, Opportunities, Intent, Mapping Optimizations Development In-depth on-page development for users, and in turn, search engines Content Planning and Updating Current high-value page updates and new page development The Results: Stemming from our efforts, we saw an increase of 51% in software trial sign up conversions from year one to year two. Trial sign up purchase conversions increased by 55% during this period as well. During the months of active SEO, we saw an organic conversion rate increase of 15% sitewide with organic traffic doubling year over year. ### 243% Growth in Organic Traffic The Client: Mattress Nerd The Problem: Mattress Nerd hired Sure Oak to improve their domain authority (DA) and overall keyword performance. They were lagging behind their competitors in both areas of their website and wanted to take action. When Mattress Nerd partnered with Sure Oak, they had a DA of 41 and ranked for an estimated 35,000 keywords. The Solution: For Mattress Nerd, Sure Oak rolled out a comprehensive link building strategy that included building both scholarship links, which primarily help boost domain authority (DA), and contextual links, which we used to increase traffic to specific, high-priority pages on the website. The combined approach proved to be very fruitful for the domain and target pages. In just two months, we noticed a ~124% increase in organic traffic and a 28% increase in organic keywords. A diverse and strong backlink profile, coupled with an on-page strategy Mattress Nerd executed in-house, helped the website reach its true potential in only a few short months. The Results: Organic traffic to the site grew 243% from November 1 to April 1. ### 133% Growth in Organic Traffic The Client: QuizGriz Problem: One of the most important ways to make sure Google understands your website when it does a crawl is to only add content that’s related to your business. But for QuizGriz, that’s a bit difficult. Because they’re a quiz generator, their website includes information about an incredibly wide range of topics, from the pyramids to classic cars. However, the wide range of information also posed an opportunity. Solution: While optimizing a website with content related to so many different topics has its challenges, it also has its advantages. The fact that QuizGriz’s website had URLs and content related to so many topics meant there were a lot of potential keywords to target, many of which competitors weren’t capitalizing on. Identifying those keywords was step 1. The next step was integrating them into QuizGriz’s existing content — it turns out, when you have a quiz creation website, you already have content related to nearly any and every keyword. In addition to developing a content strategy centered around existing content, Sure Oak performed a technical audit of the QuizGriz website, providing ways to improve its overall performance. We also executed a link-building campaign that more than doubled the number of referring domains. Results: Organic traffic to the site grew 133.5% from January – June. ### +100% Increase in Organic Keyword Rankings The Client: We Mount TVs Problem: We Mount TVs was spending a disproportionate percentage of their marketing budget on PPC and wanted to reduce their reliance on paid ads to generate leads. They contacted Sure Oak to help them develop an effective SEO strategy that would generate inbound leads from local organic search traffic. Solution: In order to help We Mount TVs reduce their monthly ad spend and drive more leads from organic search, we developed a comprehensive SEO strategy that involved revamping existing pages, creating long-form guides for new pages, and generating high-quality backlinks to targeted pages. For a company like We Mount TVs, which services several specific areas spread across the southeastern U.S., location is everything. That’s why a large part of our content strategy centered around improving existing service pages for the specific areas that We Mount TVs operates. We also identified service pages that were not location-specific that were already driving leads, and improved those, too. The other part of our content strategy was to create unique, long-form content that provided users with a ton of value, at no cost. In order to increase the value of the improved and new content on We Mount TVs’ website, we implemented a link-building strategy targeted at high-quality links from authoritative domains. Our link-building campaign not only generated several hundred backlinks; it increased We Mount TVs overall domain authority significantly, a huge step forward for the site and the company. Results: By partnering with Sure Oak, We Mount TVs significantly boosted its visibility on Google and other search engines and saw real results, which you can see below, from their investment. Organic keyword rankings grew by 115% from March – November. ### 67% Increase in Ranked Keyword Phrases The Client: RnA ReSet The Problem: RnA ReSet came to Sure Oak for two reasons: 1. They felt they had hit a wall with their organic search traffic 2. They believed they had been hit by a Google penalty for violating Your Money or Your Life (YMYL) or Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness (EAT) guidelines The Solution: In order to help RnA ReSet rebuild the organic traffic they lost due to the suspected Google penalty and continue to grow their business during the coronavirus pandemic, Sure Oak laid out a comprehensive SEO strategy from the beginning. It involved several components: - Retargeting general keyword phrases, like “magnesium supplement,” on product pages - Creating new content that proved to Google and users they were a credible source of information related to dietary supplements and building out pages to help users learn everything they need to know before buying dietary supplements - Developing high-quality backlinks to relevant top-of-funnel pages to not only increase the website’s domain authority but also increase its referral traffic from reputable sites Impressions and clicks increased across the board, and several pages secured spots on the first page of search engine results pages (SERPs) for relevant and valuable keyword phrases. The Results: Focusing heavily on improving existing pages and creating new pages paid off. In less than one year, the number of keyword phrases Rna ReSet’s website ranked for increased 67 percent. ### 810% Increase in Monthly Organic Users The Client: Responsify The Problem: Responsify, a team of inbound marketing specialists, was concerned about the low DA of their site. However, their client book was full and they did not have the time or expertise to invest in their SEO. They called Sure Oak for help. The Solution: Before any link building could begin, Sure Oak SEO completed a technical audit of their website and its existing content along with extensive keyword research. We found new keyword opportunities and optimized keyword density to drive more incoming traffic. To increase brand awareness and domain authority, we executed a variety of link-building strategies including guest posting on high authority sites and editorial insertions targeting the highest opportunity pages.  The Results: Since working with Sure Oak, in just six months Responsify’s domain authority reached 30 as they hoped for, increasing by 87.5% with over 345 linking domains. Organic monthly users compared to the previous year increased by 810%. “That helped all of the pages across our site to rank higher and because of that we are getting a considerably higher amount of leads coming through our website,” Responsify founder and CEO Edmund says. Thanks to this targeted SEO strategy, along with revamping and expanding their content, Responsify is seeing drastic increases in traffic through organic search with ranking keywords increasing nearly tenfold with over 1,500 keywords and a 582% increase in organic monthly traffic over the previous year. ### Project with Mercedes Benz Project with Mercedes Benz  ### Project with American Red Cross ### Project with Hearst Bay Area ### 202% Increase in Revenue in Two Months The Client: Milk Bar The Problem: Milk Bar’s engagement with Sure Oak coincided with the coronavirus pandemic, which was a devastating blow to the economy, particularly the service industry. And while you could say it was unfortunate timing, it also offered a unique opportunity to focus on improving Milk Bar’s overall organic search visibility, especially for its eCommerce capabilities. The Solution: In order to identify the biggest opportunities for Milk Bar, Sure Oak conducted an SEO Game Plan, a proprietary methodology used to lay out exactly how to build a sustainable foundation for long-term growth and success in organic search. Through the Game Plan, Sure Oak identified the biggest opportunities were to optimize the existing content on the website and create new content targeted at high-value keyword phrases, including phrases related to specific holidays, like Mother’s Day. The majority of the existing content optimization revolved around targeting phrases that included the word, “delivery.” There were already several pages on the website that were ideal for retargeting those types of phrases. They were a great starting point. The Results:  The strategy Sure Oak laid out in the original Game Plan was exactly what Milk Bar needed. Focusing on optimizing existing pages spurred a 202 percent increase in revenue on targeted pages. The demand for online orders due to so many people staying at home in April and May also contributed to the increase. ### 137% More Conversions for PE Backed Cyber Company Thanks to this integrated SEO and AIO campaign, the client is now: A recognized authority in cybersecurity with stronger authority and visibility.

The rise of AI is steadily reducing traffic from traditional SERPs and forcing brands to rethink how authority is earned online. While many users are turning to AI platforms like ChatGPT as their go-to research tools, traditional search engines like Google still dominate by a wide margin. In fact, recent data shows that Google receives approximately 373 times more searches than ChatGPT—highlighting both the scale of Google’s lead and the massive growth potential in the AI search space. **Why is AI Search like GEO important for my business?** Without GEO, your brand may be invisible in AI-driven search optimization results, which will lead to decreased conversions. AI visibility ensures your business is present, recognizable, and retrievable by LLMs where users are actively seeking information or ready to act. **How do I measure success with AI search or GEO?** Instead of just tracking traffic, AI visibility success is measured through brand mentions, AI citations, improved conversion rates, branded search increases, and referral traffic from AI tools. ## Verification Clutch verification provides an additional layer of data to help you make the right purchasing decision of business services. - Verified Client Reviews: 38 - Overall Review Rating: 4.9 Last Updated: 2026-06-22T10:26:29Z ### Business Entity - Business Entity Name: Sure Oak, LLC - Source: New York Secretary of State - Jurisdiction of Formation: New York - Date of Formation: January 19, 2018 - Status: Active - Last Updated: November 17, 2022 - ID: 5270718 ### Credit Report Results - International Credit Risk Assessment: Low Risk - Source: Creditsafe - Last Updated: November 17, 2022 ## Locations (1) ### Brooklyn, NY (Headquarters) - 77 Sands St 6th Floor - Brooklyn, NY 11201 - United States - 41 - 49 employees - Phone: 800-736-7190 ## Connections - Sean Alexander (Alexander Mathematics & Physics Tutoring) - Ngoc Phan (Aqua Expeditions) - Zainab Abdullahi (Doclynx Services) - Andy Grider (STACK Construction Technologies) - Evan Miersch (Wave HQ) ## Contact Sure Oak [Send a message](https://clutch.co/profile/sure-oak) ### Connect on Social - [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/sureoak) - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/SureOak) - [X](https://x.com/SureOak) - [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/sureoak/)
