I studied under Steve Wiideman, who teaches SEO at UCSD. Hire this company. The very best advisors have the hearts of a teacher, not the brain of a salesman - and that's Steve's group... Teachers. Steve loves explaining SEO - and will not only help your site rank, but help you learn how to as well. He knows both the content arm and the technical aspects of SEO, and is very deliberate with competitive analysis. When teaching at UCSD Steve gives us redacted versions of client work (with names and important information censored) - and he has undertaken some big accounts and earned impressive results. read more

What can I say about Steve Wiideman and his amazing team? Steve, Dan, Brian, Hanzel and the whole team are incredibly skilled when it comes to all things SEO, CRO, and digital marketing. Their deep knowledge of SEO allows them to take a holistic, comprehensive view rather than just focusing on one aspect and missing other critical components that affect keyword rankings and organic traffic. Their results speak for themselves. I had some challenges getting a large enterprise site indexed by Google. The Wiideman team was able to pinpoint the issue and helped provide a solution that was practical and affordable for the development team. Steve's knowledge of technical, structural, on-page content, and off-page SEO are unparalleled. I don't say this lightly, but Steve is one of the smartest guys I know. I highly recommend Steve Wiideman and his brilliant team. They operate with true integrity and will treat you well. read more

Steve and his company were spectacular in helping our small business solve a problem. We were totally stuck, and they fixed it! I'm not sure what we would have done without their help. Highly recommend! read more

Steve is so patient, kind, and informative! I'm a very visual learner, so his help via GoToMeeting and the video presentation showing me how to navigate Google My Business, and the wonderful world of SEO's was incredibly helpful! I learned more with our consultation and follow-up than with anyone else who has tried to help our restaurant build a searchable online presence. The others made promises and did not deliver. Steve and Wiideman Consulting Group made no empty promises - they just DELIVERED real stats, real information, real tools, and all in an easy-to-understand way, tailored to our business. Thank you, Steve & Wiideman Consulting Group! Nina Ruth Bruno GreensPlease, Inc. read more

For well over 10 years I have been living and "breathing" Ecommerce as an online store operator. The Internet world remains an exciting yet difficult world to play in. I'm pleased to wholeheartedly state that Steve Wiideman and his consulting team have provided outstanding guidance to me in the ecommerce playing field. Steve and his group are extremely detailed in their approach to helping companies become successful online. They first discussed my history, current situation, and goals. They proceeded to put together a "game plan" roadmap that encompasses many areas. From website infrastructure including coding, setting up comprehensive analytical tools, content strategies, to innovative marketing tactics, and more, they demonstrated enormous skills and talent. I also want to highlight they are extremely open, sincere, and great communicators. The results and success that I have realized are attributed to the great work from Steve and his team. I know that Steve is well respected in the internet marketing industry and my personal experience with him for many years has reinforced that exponentially. I strongly recommend Steve and his firm for internet marketing and ecommerce. read more

Great service. Honest feedback. Experience staff who knows what they are actually talking about . Quick turnarounds . Great company

Steve, THANK YOU SO MUCH for your generosity in sharing all this valuable information -- the attachments, the video links, and all the things you sent. I've never attended a free seminar wherein so much valuable information that has great worth, was given for free. That is certainly very very generous of you to do for all of us, and I am very appreciative of all your help. In fact, before attending your presentation, I previously purchased books and attended other SEO seminars, and yet, your free presentation presented more PRACTICAL, REAL-WORLD value than all the other ones I've seen. I can only imagine the amazing results your clients enjoy for your paid services. In a word: OUTSTANDING! Thank you again!! read more

These guys are SEO Angels! Saved me from pulling my hair out. Steve saved this poor non-understanding SEO girl from an internet nervous breakdown! read more

Steve has helped me with my Internet Marketing for years. He is bar far the best independent SEO Expert out there. There is no one better.

Work with a WINNER! I probably have a few thousand back and forth emails between myself and Wiideman Consulting over the years. I would say average response time on email replies is less than 10 minutes during the week and sometimes even off hours! Been a client, gosh I want say about 4-5 years now if not more. Steve Wiideman and his team were able to recover my site from a google penguin penalty and revamped our website code and layout as well as lots of tools and consulting. read more

I have recommended a number of clients to Wiideman Consulting Group during the past 10 years, and without exception their results have been stellar. Rankings go up, inbound leads go up, revenues go up, and client happiness goes up. It's no wonder many in the industry consider Steve Wiideman the top SEO expert in the world. I've visited Steve's office, and been impressed with the fact that he pays his staff not only to do "billable" work for his clients, but also to do non-billable homework that keeps the team at the top of its game. Most agencies are too cheap to do this. Each day, Steve and his people sit and study the latest "official" ranking criteria and updates from Google and the other search engines, PLUS surf the web for widespread "unofficial" user experience posts that allow him and his team to deduce Google's latest unpublished ranking algorithms from the experience of others. This kind of daily professional discipline is almost unheard of -- I've met lots of people who claim to be SEO experts, and never come across this level of dedication to the craft. Wiideman Consulting Group acts as the "hidden agency" that actually does or supervises the SEO work behind the scenes for other digital marketing agencies and SEO companies, and Steve has trained and sometimes launched the careers of a number of today's best SEO/SEM pros. In fact, Steve is so free about teaching industry best practices to anyone who wants to learn that some "experts" get pissed at Steve because they want to hide good SEO knowledge as a big secret, pretending that only expensive insiders should know how to pull the SEO strings and make the internet dance. I attended an event where a $3 billion company told me why they have been a client of Steve's for more than 5 years running ... they said it was all about transparency and results. They said Steve doesn't pretend he's the Wizard of Oz doing SEO behind a big curtain as a mystical, proprietary art, but instead he informs them exactly what he is doing and why, and tells them exactly what they need to do and why ... and they said it's this kind of transparency that keeps them around. One of his small clients told me the same thing. I even know of a client or two Steve has lost because he teaches them so much about SEO that they learn to do it on their own ... but they always come back to him for consulting on the latest updates and tips. This post might sound like an ad, but it's simply a heartfelt endorsement of a businessman I respect professionally, and a man I believe in personally. He's a giver, in case I haven't made it clear. Last example: as soon as I began taking professional time away to serve as an Adjunct Professor at Cal State Fullerton, teaching the "Marketing for Entrepreneurs" course, I contacted Steve to guest lecture on SEO to my senior and grad students, and without hesitation he volunteered -- and he has done so every semester since. Not only that, but other professors also have asked the same thing and Steve has never hesitated to say yes. Where he can contribute to the life and success of someone else, Steve Wiideman does. A truly remarkable man. I'm not afraid to stand behind my endorsement, because it's not fake. Feel free to contact me for verification ... I'm easy to find. -- Scott Sorrell "Mr. Charge Higher Prices" read more

Attended Steve's lecture at OC Forward and he is an "Einstein Genius" when it comes to SEO.

I contacted Steve to help with a specific set of SEO challenges that I was wrestling with. Steve jumped on the phone with me and gave me a playbook on how we should address the issues. He has great domain knowledge and I will definitely be working with him again in the future. read more
