Info and Feedback on IProspect

[hlutze]

We are looking at an SEM company called IProspect. Anyone worked with them and what were your results? They are big money and I need some guidance as to worth. Thank you for your comments. www.iprospect.com :)

They are a 'full solution' provider which extends into alot of non-traditional SEO services and well worth the investment.

SEO wise - they are a 'little dated' in on/off page optimization but in the overall scope of online exposure this is a very small part so in the end winners over losers.

If you have the budget your return will 'likely' be substantially more... however, it's always best to determine if they have serviced your specific industry in the past. This is often where most SEO firms show lackluster results - not because of online competency but because the nuance of an industry isn't known in advance.

They do have great articles. Obviously very knowledgeable in the search area both in organic and paid.

They're one of the larger SEM firms out there and have shown themselves capable of marketing and taking out booth space at SEM shows very nicely. That said, though, I have yet to hear anything positive said about them by big ppc advertisers. Agencies I *have* heard good things about:

Reprise Media
NewGate
Fathom
Performics (if you're retail)

My $0.02

Shorebreak I wonder if you have been speaking more with people who are reps for the PPc at Google who have relationships with these companies in a working situation while IProspect does not...
I know the guys at Reprise and they are on top of the game... though I also have their previous ad reps and they had the chance to get to know them... on the otherhand they do not work or know IProspect.

I would definitely add did-it.com to the list. Kevin Lee, the founder, is one of the brightest guys in the business.

great points. I looked at the client list when I found it and there is a little "dated" SEO going on. Very impressive client list, however more SEO successes with non-brand-related search terms would impress me more.

This company definitely knows its business as SEM's, however, and you could probably do far worse...

:D Ya - when Marketing Sherpa started rating SEOs - iProspect got plugged at being #1 of the SEOs rated.

I had to look for myself - rating criteria was a bit dated as well! ;)

I agree Did-It is on the list of top SEO/M companies - Kevin definitely knows his stuff.

IProspect is a full solution SEM company. They are suppose to be the leaders in our industry and are very upfront and honest from what I have heard. If you have the money to pay them, I would go with them. I have heard that they outsource their SEM, but I am not 100 percent sure about that. If you are looking for a one stop shop, IProspect will be able to do everything for you.
