"Garth has done incredible work with my business' SEO on google! I went from being invisible online to now being on the first page! He is diligent, hardworking, and genuinely cares about his clients. I was reluctant to do videos, but after Garth helped me to feel comfortable doing them and now seeing how they've been successful, I don't mind doing them anymore. I would highly highly recommend him and have referred him to many colleagues and friends."
