Notable Achievements

One DISC client spends about $130,000 per year with DISC, and makes $166,000 in new, gross profit per month directly attributed to our work. We have the reports and references to prove this.

Note that this client moved to DISC after one of the largest (public) SEM firms did their best with the site. That large firm probably does plenty of good work, but, unlike at DISC, with large firms it's hard to know the qualifications of the employees who are actually working on your account.

DISC has many such stellar case histories, all with reports you can read and references you can contact.

Client References

DISC has plenty of great references, and we always provide a relevant selection of them in our proposals. In fact, you can throw darts at our long, public client list (http://www.2disc.com/internet_marketing_clients.html), and for each client hit we will send you the ROI reports and phone numbers to call for references.

In consideration of our clients' time, we do not publish their contact information on the web.

Consultant Comments

As shown in this profile, DISC possess extraordinary research credentials, so that we ground SEM tactics firmly in evidence. While we believe our opinions are excellent, the last thing you want from us or any SEM firm is opinion. Instead, you want SEM specialists who, as part of their weekly job, research rigorously all the best practices, and who use the power of reason to render as transparently as possible the strategies emerging and crystallizing from published studies, books, articles, and the collective professional experience transmitted through SEM forums and conferences.

Also, SEO can and should be done right the first time, nullifying ongoing retainer fees. Obviously PPC and other forms of SEM require monthly management. DISC has a few SEO retainers with clients, but most clients do one-time jobs, perhaps with more SEO done on new pages later, and they own the benefits in perpetuity. Our SEO Myths page explains this further: http://www.2disc.com/seo_myths.html.
