Stone Temple Consulting (STC) has been providing SEO Consulting services since 2002. STC has worked with a wide range of clients, ranging from small silicon valley start-ups, to Fortune 25 companies. STC has two partners, Eric Enge and John Biundo, and a team of senior SEO consultants, who provide SEO and SEM services for the company’s clients. Other members of our team include:
STC helps its clients implement search engine friendly sites, that are rich in content, and also helps clients market their sites effectively to attract lots of high quality links. STC also provides search engine marketing (PPC) services, and designs and implements blogs. Our approach has a proven and repeatable track record of success.
STC relies solely on SEO methods that comply with the search engines’ terms of service. This means that the company does not buy links, or engage in link swap campaigns, and also does not attempt to trick the search engines into providing sites with artificially high rankings. These are practices that may temporarily lift search engine rankings, but in the long term are harmful to your business. Whereas with the approach used by STC, the rankings you gain through our efforts tend to be stable, and secure.
