Jeremy Curran
Owner, RED Soda

After months of searching for an SEO / SEM I was referred to Uplers by an old colleague. There are a lot of snake oil salesmen in this game - but from the beginning I could tell that Uplers were different. I have a strong marketing background and loved how strategic my account manager and her team were in their planning and goal setting.

They didn't just use a pro forma marketing plan for my business, they listened to me and executed a unique plan tailored to my needs. The results speak for themselves. From the first day Uplers set up my PPC account it was like someone turned on a tap of customers, the dam burst and a welcome torrent of client enquiries flooded into my inbox.

Organic search results take much more time and patience - but month after month, my organic traffic is growing quickly as well. Uplers are leaders in a very competitive market - I know they give me the best insights and knowledge in search.

It's a constantly changing environment and they have put my company well ahead of the game. They go above and beyond to generate the best results for my business and I'm thrilled to have them working for me! I highly recommend Uplers.
