In my line of work I talk to a ton of marketing people - mainly in Utah. Most of those marketing people are looking for SEO/SEM/PPC mgmt services. Heck, I run into this so often I’ve been tempted to start my own SEM company. I seriously don’t know how any SEM company could be struggling right now (unless you really suck). The demand is insane.
I’d like to partner with a company that can provide these services to my clients. I’d like to refer my clients to a *legitimate* and *proven* Utah-based SEO/SEM/PPC mgmt company. If you don’t think I have the contacts or you think I’m full of crap then just ignore this.
If you know what’s up then send me an email with the following info:
- Your Web site
- Clients
- Client referral(s) (meaning I want to talk to at least two of your clients)
- Case studies (if you have them) or success stories
- Pricing
- Where you rank in your SEO keywords
- How long have you been in business
- yada, yada, yada…
I also run into a ton of companies that need outsourced development work. If you do this as well then please mention it.
I can pimp you but I won’t close deals for you (this is more about referrals). I’m looking for this to be a mutually beneficial relationship so have that in mind when you contact me.

Update: If you’re pissed because we already know each other and I didn’t just automatically call you then think of this as a job interview and pretend we’ve never met.
Update #2: If you want to skip all this and just take me to lunch that’s cool too.
I’ve never hired or used OrangeSoda.com, but I met Jay Bean, the CEO, and liked his story. He’s been in the space and sold a former company. They’ve created a system to interface with all the various search engines and PPC systems so you have a single window into multiple and different systems. I liked this because as a business manager you can review your results in a single place, without all the logins. I’d be interested to learn if OrangeSoda is being used by anyone here.

Left by Brad on 01/03/2008Yes, SEO/SEM and other internet marketing services are in hot demand right now; its crazy. Its good for Utah though as there are a number of companies to choose from for these types of services compared to about 3-4 years ago there were not many choices.
IMO a lot of your decision should be based on your typical clients as different agencies are better suited to handle different types of clients.
good luck~
