I was referred to Ruben through a friend and upon connecting with him was immediately impressed with his knowledge, clarity about the range of services he could offer and very reasonable costs for each. My need to improve my search engine optimization was pretty basic and opted for just a few hours of his time. Little did I know how much effort he was willing to expend including multiple check-ins along the way. I understood that it would take some time for the results to manifest and figured it would be an incremental boost. This morning I got an email from Google suggesting I look at my Google profile for this month's activity. Now, I can't say it's all due to Ruben's efforts or a combination of factors but the boost in interactions at my Google Biz data was in increase of ... ready for this? ... 7,750 percent. Sounds like some kind of spammy come-on but I dug deeper and, yup, that was the stat. Regardless of whether that meteoric boost was all due to Ruben's work or not, I'm smiling and fielding a minor avalanche of client inquiries. Give him a call and you will not be wasting your time checking him out.
