From clients

"Hi Jim, to say I'm impressed with WBP would be an understatement. Being a serial entrepreneur for over 4 decades has brought me into contact with many companies and individuals that promise much but fail to deliver. In my relationship with WBP I've found a company of individuals that generate action and deliver results. Matter-of-fact my relationship with WBP has even changed my attitude a bit, I find myself walking in the office in the morning chanting 'I'm feeling lucky...'"

Ed W.

"I was looking over the link reports for (our site) recently. I just wanted to tell you and your team that I was especially impressed with the quality of links acquired over the last few months. I mean, they're completely stellar. So many of them have been older domains receiving plenty of edu and gov backlinks. I am very impressed! Ninjas, indeed! So I wanted to pass that on because I feel everyone deserves to know when they are appreciated. And I totally appreciate you guys. :))) Whenever someone who actually has an internet marketing budget asks me about SEO services, I always rave to them about my experience with WBP (well...as long as they're not in any of the same verticals as I am!) Thanks again for all the time and effort."

Dan

"Hey Jim, Thanks for the call today. Those links are amazing! I can't believe that out of the 80 links we got, that more than half of them were edu links! And WOW, 5 gov links??? Including a link from NASA??? OMG, Amazing! We've worked with several other SEO companies, and never would I have imagined that anyone would be able to acquire links like these, simply amazing! We just got your interlinking report, and our designer is going to be implementing this on the site over the next few days. I think we're off to a great start!"

Neil K.

"We Build Pages Team, Just wanted to thank you again for the articles you've written and the links you have built so far. We continue to see great results. To top it off, we received a mention and link from the New York Times. Hope you are doing well."

Gabe H.

"We've been very impressed with Jim's great mastery of search engine ranking and SEO and the evolution of WBP to keep ahead of the changing SEO environment. We rely on Jim and WBP for all our websites rankings to always beat the competition and move us to number one. Great Job Jim!"

Nick D.

"Jim, Wanted to touch base with you on an update. We should have a better understanding when were starting back up in the next 2-4 weeks. Good news is that it looks like your link building efforts are paying off like we talked about. Over the past 2 days our free google traffic has seen new highs. So we were on a steady down trend for 5 months and over the past 2 weeks we have seen a steady increase to new highs of over that of last summer."

Brian Y.

"We have been working with We Build Pages for 3 years now and the results have been nothing short of astonishing. Prior to hiring Jim and his team we ranked in the 40s and 50s for a few keywords and phrases. Our niche is quite competitive and we were a small company - what could We Build Pages do? Just this week I reviewed our rankings for over 340 keywords relevant to our business. I was amazed. We ranked no. 1 on Google for 107 of them and were top ten for over 260. I think it is fair to say that we now dominate our space - thanks in large part to We Build Pages."

Ethan M.

"Thanks to the We Build Pages team, for providing opportunities for people to cut their own path. I've been a loyal customer nearly since Jim started on his own, 8 or 9 years ago. I've worked with half a dozen people in the We Build Organization at one time or another and I appreciate that you guys are professional, fair and easy to talk to."

Alex G.

"Walt, You and the team at We Build Pages have been great, demonstrating the quality of your work through useful recommendations, reports and top-notch content that has won us some great links. Thank you. In turn, I trust that we have been good clients over the past few months offering no hassles, no payment issues, quick implementation of content and good communication throughout our engagements. We plan on continuing to work with you for quite sometime."

Larry B. ... yes, this one's a poem

"We have been working with WeBuildPages since 2006. That is a testament in itself for the success we have had using WeBuildPages. Being in a very competitive market we have achieved higher ranking in Google on brand keywords name then the brand owner themselves, and these are billion dollar companies. What more can I add about WeBuildPages and Jim? I would highly recommend using their services."

Kevin P.

"Hey guys, just wanted to say thumbs up for the quality links you've brought in so far! Lot's of edu's, gov's and other trusted links. Exactly what we need. Our rankings are starting to improve and organic traffic is starting to increase. More importantly, we're very excited about the fact that you've 'opened our eyes' and had an important positive impact on our future (content) strategy. Brilliant! Will definitely recommend WBP to anyone who isn't scared to invest in quality defensible SEO. Keep up the good work!"

Harry G.

"We Build Pages have exceeded our expectations at every turn. We have used them for both content development and link building. In each case the service has been exceptional, and the result has been to add significant value to our sites. I regard them as a perfect partner for any business that wants to grow its online revenue."

Sean V.

"Thanks We Build Pages for keeping us on top of the searches!!"

Peter C.

"We Build Pages has provided superb service and positive results for over three years to our company. They keep their promises and 'deliver the goods' month after month. We can recommend them without reservation."

Mike R.

Client testimonials from the earlier years... prior to 2010

"I worked with a few other pros over the years with less than great results. I'd always heard good things about Jim and We Build Pages so I was going to give it one last shot. I'm glad I did. I had a list of modest keywords in mind but the team at WBP offered to shoot for what I would call the stars. I was hopeful but a tiny bit skeptical. Wow, I'm glad we did. The results have been fantastic, hitting at least the top 3 for everything targeted."

Adam L.

"Christine, Wow. Fantastic stuff. Kudos to your team. I'll pore over these and get them live quickly. Thanks for your time, attention and creativity. Give me more ideas and direction. What next?"

Ed F.

"First let me say that from the very onset we have enjoyed working and will continue to with your team immensely. The professionalism along with your candor have been second to none. And the results, well they speak for themselves... All the best always!"

Lenny F.

"Yes, I've noticed we are in and out of position #1 the last couple of days. Really a big achievement by you and your team. Great congratulations, and a great thank you. I am looking forward to seeing a similar trajectory for the other site and several other sites which I plan to bring to you... and more vacation bonuses."

David R.

"Jim, We really appreciate your partnership over the past couple years, and look forward to a bright future together. The next time you attend a conference or event on the west coast, I would love to set you up to visit us."

Jake W.

"Jen and Shawn, I just wanted to remind you both that I am very grateful for your time and effort you have shown our account and if you weren't so damn faraway, I'd give you both real big bear hugs right now! :) Heck, at this rate, you've earned about 85% of the naming rights for my first born! I'm thinking 'Jeawn'. It has a nice ring to it... :) Alright back to work. Peace out!"

Peter K.

"Wow! And double wow! That's incredible. We've certainly seen the level of inquiries shoot up over the last couple of weeks. And we had 70 just in the last 24 hours. For a Sunday that is unprecedented. Needless to say we're up the walls as a result, but we certainly ain't complaining. Keep up the fantastic work! All the best,"

Kevin L.

"If I haven't told you already, your team of people are the Bomb! When I came to you I told you I was very reluctant about hiring a Search Engine Optimization firm because I was ripped off and sold a bunch of promises in the past - all of which failed. I honestly was still a skeptic until recently. We have gone from off the map for my two major keywords to the top twenty in 5 months so far. I have all the confidence that you can get me in the top ten! A special thanks goes to your optimization expert who has handled my demands for constant changes with such professionalism. I would highly recommend you to anyone who wants to be in the top of their field on the web. (Except any of my competitors!!!)"

Randy W.

"Ever since I started using your services my rankings have shot up the top ten like a rocket. I was reluctant at first due to past bad experiences with SEO service. I am glad I took the chance and went with your company. I am number one now on the most important keyword for my products. You truly are an artist. I can't begin to thank you enough for all your help! I'm feeling really lucky!"

Scott H.

"On a nice spring day about a year ago, our site took a nose dive in the rankings on some of our most valuable keywords. I frantically begun searching SEO forums for the best people and ways to get us back to the top and I came across Jim and his team. Jim was one of the most highly recommended link building Guru's out there, so I called WBP. To my surprise they couldn't take my money right away because they were busy working on other client accounts. They were very polite and explained that if they were to take my money that would have meant they could not spend the time they needed to spend on their client's accounts. Right there I knew these guys were for real. Biting my nails and pulling my hair, I patiently waited for two months so they could start working on my account and boy was I soooooo glad that I did. I finally got to speak with Jim, who is an awesome guy with a great sense of humor. I could say the same thing about my account manager and all of the Ninja team. After this meeting the work begun and the rest is history. We are back to #1 on all of our top keywords and then some. I would highly recommend Jim Boykin and his team to anyone, even though part of me wants to keep them to myself."

Eric K.

"It was pure chance or a divine intervention that had me call your number in the first place out of all the possible people to call. I am truly aware that my placement on the net has been your direct interest in promoting my business. And it is obvious that many so called web marketers are unable to duplicate your skills."

David S.

"You couldn't attach yourself to anyone better than Jim. Every one of his clients is #1 in most of the relevant keyword searches they want. As far as I'm concerned he's worth EVERY penny he will charge you. Jim is a straight shooter, goes above and beyond when called for, and will be committed to the things he tells you he can do... My business has exploded on the internet and I don't plan on looking back... Jim will tell you what he can deliver and I feel like he is one of the nicest, most down to earth business people I've ever dealt with."

Fred J.

"I just wanted to take a few moments to congratulate you on a job very well done! Our site is now appearing on the first page of Google's results for the keywords we were targeting. For some of our best keywords, we are in the top three! I'm sure our competition is ranting and raving over our recent success in the rankings, and our bottom line is showing a definite improvement. This last January was the best January we have ever had. Keep it up!!! Thanks a million,"

Dan K.

"I was so satisfied with the work they did on my first site that I had them do two more and soon to be a third. We Build Pages have got me Google Page 1 Ranking on the first two sites mentioned and I anticipate the third ranking equally as well. I highly recommend We Build Pages to anyone interested in profitable internet marketing. Cordially,"

Robert S. ... [a note from the old page: he's up to 9 sites with us now]

"Thanks for your email and your staff's attention. Sales were really in full gear last month and I know your team had a lot to do with it. I think you guys are doing a great job and I'm glad I hooked up with you. Please share my feelings with your team."

Ed F.

"I wanted to take a couple of minutes to let you know how happy I am with your team's work. Shawn has been a real pleasure to work with from the very beginning of our project. He always responds to my messages right away and he put together a nice outbound link page for us (he helped with our title tags too). Chuck took time out of his schedule to help us evaluate some domains, which I appreciate a great deal. I honestly cannot say enough good things about you and your team. A first class operation across the board that has impacted our business in a big way! Thanks Jim! Have a nice weekend."

Randy B.

"As a new company, we were looking for a way to increase our traffic, our presence, and our business volume in a market with many competitors who are mature established businesses. About a year ago, we began working with the staff from We Build Pages. We Build Pages takes a long-term approach to building rankings with search engines, so it took about 3 months for us to begin to see results. Since that time, month after month, we've seen an increase in traffic, and a proportional increase in total sales. Recently, our office staff couldn't handle the call volume generated by our new visitors, and it took hours to call everyone back. Return on Investment is important to any business. The return we've realized from the investment with We Build Pages is more than 250%. Our order volume is up over 50% since the beginning of the year, and we've posted record sales for almost every month we've been working with them. We view We Build Pages as a strategic asset of the company, one that gives us a huge advantage over our competitors. If you're thinking about increasing your web presence and growing your business, I can tell you first hand that Search Engine Optimization is the most important thing you can do. Finding a company who can effectively deliver traffic is a necessity. Finding a reputable and cost effective SEO is critical. We Build Pages fits the bill."

Al F.

"Jim thanks for the rankings update and yes, I can't begin to thank you enough. We have more business than we can handle."

Mike S.

"Just wanted to say thanks for all the link-building, help, tips and etc that you guys do for me and my site. I greatly appreciate it. My father and I went out to dinner last night and toasted you all. Why? Not only are you nice people, but now our site ranks well for several competitive phrases... If any of you are there (WebmasterWorld conference) as well, I'm buying a round and I hope your livers are in shape. Hope to meet several of you in person."

Subbu A.

"I can't tell you how amazing Jim and his team have been for our business. We have seen fantastic results since we started with him. He stays right on top of all of the latest information and is more than happy to share. We started from scratch with Jim when he was still working from his house and he trained me to update our own website and some of the ideas behind optimizing our site for search engines to find. Since I met him then, his excitement about the business has been contagious (he's so addicted that he wakes up in the middle of the night to check Google's results). He lives, breathes and sleeps search engines! We went from a baby website that no one could find to #3 and #1 for our top phrases. We get more business from the web than we could have ever imagined back when we started as a little local store. If you want someone who will work hard to get your site to the very top of the list then please go with Jim. He is so excited about what he does that no one can help but benefit from his expertise."

Cheryl R.

"Thank you very much, I am 100% satisfied with your service, it give me so much surprise, now I am changing my site to a VPS server, I can use more of the advice in your report later."

Li J.

"Thanks Jim. You guys have been kicking major ass, I wasn't expecting this much this quickly."

Dustin W.

"Looks great. No. 1! Wow! Who would have thought that was possible 6 months ago? Not us, that's for sure. Organic traffic has been holding steady at Feb/March levels when normally it declines from April onwards. Because of the seasonal nature of the business it is difficult to measure the exact impact, but I can tell you our organic traffic is currently almost 3 times what it was this time last year. All down to you guys! The trick for us is to try and sustain it throughout the summer, keeping our slow season as short as possible!"

Ivan L.

"Jim and Jen, Thanks for your time and an awesome meeting. Jim, You have done so much in the past few years with your company. Your office space, your employees, their commitment are evidence that you have instilled your positive traits into them and your business. You should be proud. Jen, You are 'on it'!! It is uplifting seeing someone your age being so intense and into their work like you are. I can tell you're the type who wakes up with a smile and positive attitude. Michelle and I enjoyed the dialog and the advice. I really appreciate all you have done for me over the years and continue to do."

Mark M.

"I met Jim Boykin at a Saratoga County Chamber of Commerce Mixer. Jim started working on my Internet Marketing shortly thereafter. I was very impressed with his knowledge of the field. What impresses me most about Jim is that he constantly researches his field and is aware of changes before anybody I know. In short, Jim is really 'into it' so to speak. That is something that you can't fake. Because he is excited, I know that he is eager to do his best and won't miss a trick when it comes to serving his clients. He has increased my web traffic exponentially by optimizing my website for search engines - no matter what's around the corner, I know Jim is on it. Another thing that impressed me about Jim is that he has had several opportunities to nickel and dime me, I may not have known different. But he has consistently taken the high road and done the right thing. Even when he could have improved his bottom line by charges that were legitimate, he has shown generosity, for that I call him a friend. When I pay Jim for hours spent in advance I KNOW he is doing all the work contracted for... and then some. I believe in delegating work to the experts. Jim has earned my trust. Sincerely,"

Mitch F.

"Long story short, we are in the middle of a BIG MOVE and all the quality traffic you've been driving to our web site has been keeping us busy. There hasn't been a night (except for maybe today, Memorial Day) where myself and our entire staff has not been burning the midnight oil trying to keep up with all the customers! <---- Oh yeah, this is a GOOD THING. Sleep is over rated! :) Thanks for kicking ass (you are link ninjas...)!"

Barry M.

"Just wanted you to know that now I have 41 of my keyword phrases in the top 10! I hope the new site and optimizing keeps it rolling! You guys have done an awesome job! If you have any more suggestions count me in. I don't know if you remember but my goal was to get 2000 natural applications a month by year end. August we had 1200! March we had under 50! Unbelievable! 2006 goal is by year end is to be getting 4000 a month. Then I take you, a member of the link team on a weekend trip for some fun all expenses on me."

Randy W.

"I am writing this letter to thank you for all the hard work and dedication your team has put forth into the marketing of my website. I can testify to your professionalism, knowledge of your field and your fair and honest business practices. When I first met with Jim he was extremely optimistic about my site's potential and suggested that we tune up my website in order to score higher in the search engines for my keywords. Within three weeks, my relevant emails went from three a day to seven. My partner who answers the phone said the calls to the 800 number went from fifteen a day to over forty a day and sales went from two a week to four a week. I immediately called Jim and he said wait until the Google dance. Well, the Google dance takes place and we're #1 for our keywords! My relevant emails went from seven a day to fifteen, calls to the 800 number went from forty a day to ninety a day, and sales went from four a week to ten a week. Since we were having such success, Jim suggested we try for #1 for two more phrases. I was skeptical at first because we do not sell many of either of these products, but Jim knows best. After the next Google dance we went to #1 for both of those targeted phrases! Our sales for one went from two pieces a year to two pieces a week. Jim, when it comes to the Internet marketing of my website, you have gained my complete and full trust. Whatever you need, just ask. Our business has reached new heights that before I met you, I never would have dreamed of. I'm so glad you enjoy your work so much, because of this, I know my business is well on its way to continued success. Keep up the great work! Sincerely yours,"

Adam C.

"Let Rita, Jim, and everyone else know we are EXTREMELY grateful for the excellent work you have done for us thus far, and that after the pizza party tomorrow, it's time to get back to work and start kicking some even MORE ass as this is just the beginning! :) Thanks again for everything, and well, enjoy tomorrow! No brown bag lunch for you! :)"

Derek S.

"Jim, Wanted to share some news and statistics. I know I am the small fish in your SEO world although I do have a success story. I got a call last week, asked where he heard of us, he said Internet. I asked where he was from he said Indonesia but the work was in NY. To make a long story short we're starting a job for him worth over 50k next week. Now I know what www stands for!!! That 50 brings the total business generated from our site to 130k ytd. Thanks to you and your staff's efforts! Thank You for allowing me to be a customer!"

Mark M. (a small, local client)

"YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE Friggin HA! Man NICE NICE NICE NICE WORK. I love kicking the butt of a company with 6 times our sales... and 6 times our resources... Relish in knowing that you delivered the final links that made the difference. Now we set our sights on the prize... #1."

Ryan A. ... upon finding he was #2 for his major phrase

"Your business model of 'transparency' is nothing short of genius and exactly what we are looking for."

Larry F.

"Jim, You rock!, and thank you SO MUCH for your extremely fast response to my question. Please know that Shawn and Jen have been a BLAST to work with, and that everyone here is extremely grateful and values the partnership our companies have formed over the past year or so. If there is anything that I can ever do to return the favor, please do not hesitate to ask."

Thomas W.

One client was so happy with his rankings that he sent the entire We Build Pages team to Atlantic City, all expenses paid. Then he said: "I loved hearing that you all enjoyed the trip. It's great giving back the joy that I get from seeing us going up in rank. I am hoping to present more such rewards for the remarkable job you are continuing to do, and for Jim's brilliant leadership."

Rafael D.

Consulting & training

"Jim Boykin blows my mind every time I talk to him. I have been doing SEO for 15 years and yet I am amazed at the deep stuff Jim comes up with. Simply amazing insights and always on the cutting edge. He cuts through the BS and tells you what really works and what doesn't. After our chat, I grabbed my main SEO guy and took him to lunch and said 'you have to help me process all this new info...' I was literally pacing around the room... I have so many new ideas to experiment with that I would never have stumbled onto on my own. He is the Michael Jordan or the Jerry Garcia of links... Hope to go to NY again to Jim's amazing SEO classes. Thanks Jim!"

Michael G.

"Please express my gratitude to the entire team at WeBuildPages for an amazing training. We have spent tens of thousands of dollars this past year for training that didn't nearly compare. We gained more real world, practical, and relevant advice in one day with your team than we have after a year of attending every major internet marketing seminar and conference in the country. Again, thank you... we'll be back!" Sincerely,

Jason T.

"As an owner of a small search engine marketing company, having access to the latest info on SEO is critical. I have had consultation phone calls with many of the top SEO's and have sent my employees to training at one of the very top search marketing companies. Talking to Jim has been the best experience yet. He doesn't beat around the bush and tells you the real deal on getting organic ranks. We were stumped in particular on link building despite doing it for many years. Even after researching through forums and asking questions at the search strategies conference, we still did not have the whole picture and a practical set of white hat techniques to employ. Jim solved that among other technical issues our programmer had. I am truly looking forward to our next chat. Sincerely,"

John McDougall

"YOU ROCK JIM! I took the advice you gave me and made the changes you recommended to our website. You said it would take a little more than one month for the updates to take effect, so I stuck with it and didn't make any additional tweaks even though our rank went down. I just checked our rankings after Google's latest update and we're number 4!!! I have never been able to position us on the first page before, always the second or third. We're also first page for most related sub-terms. THANK YOU! In the amount of time we had together you gave advice on my on page optimization and content, and gave linking advice, and it worked beautifully. I can't wait to learn more from you."

Jason H. ... who then flew in for an 8-hour training session, and a week later wrote: "Thanks again for everything during my training session. That was the best money I've ever spent... I was thinking about making the training session a regular thing so that I can stay on top of new opportunities. Something like every 6 months made sense to me, what do you think?"

"Dear Jim, Thank you so much for your clear, competent, friendly, and superlative advice with promoting my website and SEO consultation. I've tried a number of companies, and you're definitely the best. Sincerely,"

Carl W.

"Jim, Thank you for a great training Wednesday - we have so much to implement that we're still digesting all of it. Your team did an excellent job for us and we really appreciated everyone's effort, please tell all of them thank you for us."

Mark E.

"The entire team told me that out of all the seminars, conventions and tutorials that they ever attended; the time spent with you, Jim and the rest of the team was by far, the best and most informative experience that they have ever encountered! In any area!"

Larry F.
