My best compliment to Geek Powered is that they tell you the truth, not what you want to hear. And if you know their detailed plan of how to get results, then the results always come.

Greg's Testimonial
Greg Fox reached out to Geek Powered Studios after working with five other SEO companies, seeing no results, and even ending up with a Google penalty. He worked with big and small agencies but found that they didn't service his business the way he wanted. Six months after starting with Geek Powered, Fox Granite Countertops was back on top with 100% white hat tactics.
Geek Powered Studios was the sixth agency Greg reached out to because he needed to see real results. In 2012, his site was hit with a link penalty after working with an agency practicing black hat link building strategies and he dropped out of the index entirely.
After six months, a new site design, new content, link cleanup, and new links, his rankings shot back up for "granite countertops" and "granite installation," bringing in more business than ever. We've maintained his campaign for over six years through white hat strategies that withstand algorithms and updates.
Geek Powered Studios did more than increase his organic visibility. Within the last few years, we've helped Fox Granite double their business in Austin and San Antonio through internet marketing.
When Greg reached out to us, his site had poor design, countless spam links, and was nowhere near the top SERPs. He previously worked with several top agencies, big and small, and found that none were servicing him or his industry the way he wanted. After thoroughly auditing his site, we found that a link penalty was the culprit for his drop in rankings.
Greg trusted a previous agency and eventually realized his fees all went toward black hat and outsourced link building methods. We redesigned his site, opted for a new domain, wrote new content, and curated relevant links. By the six month mark, Fox Granite was ranking well and getting the leads that they needed.
Fox Granite’s site build gave it a modern look and fresh content. We wrote informative content about every product they offer and targeted the regions they wanted to dominate – Austin and San Antonio. Each project was highlighted prominently in a portfolio and we also outlined their process in detail to appeal to their potential customers.
Throughout their nine-year campaign with Geek Powered Studios, we’ve upheld the site to evolving search engine standards.
Their relevant searches keep growing as we put out timely and relevant blog articles targeting longtail keyword traffic. In addition, we continue to build clean, authoritative and niche links.
Our top highlights include vlogs, the most recent one about the latest trends in countertops and sinks. Our team filmed, edited, and published a video with Greg discussing color schemes, backsplashes, sinks and how it all ties into choosing the right countertop.

Fox Granite had never run Facebook Ads before but we knew it would be a fantastic channel for them given the visual nature of their beautiful granite countertops. When Geek Powered Studios got our hands on their Facebook account, we performed extensive research based on competitors and industry leaders across the country alike.
After just a few weeks we were able to identify the most profitable ads and messaging to drive leads for as low as $33.
