Testimonials
In the past few years, we have come to the realization within our own company to be relevant and current in our own business vertical is not enough. Our customers have to know about us and the products and services we offer. And of course, what differentiates us from our competition. Creating market awareness and visibility has become a daunting task for everyone who is looking to drive traffic and business to their website and their brand. The goal is always to have a success conversion rate without breaking the bank.
We engaged the services of Mike Riedeman and Matrix Rising at the beginning of the second half of last year to give us that guidance. The awareness that he provided to us has been invaluable. Up until that point, we were taking our best guess on creating organic traffic and doing what we thought was a fairly decent job. Mike has brought to our team, a methodology that we can understand and that we can deploy.
The results since he has come onboard as our SEO consultant have been tangible, invaluable, and an eye-opener. Mike walks you and your staff through the steps that need to occur, provides a benchline analysis, and then shows you the rapid improvements you will attain through his recommended changes.
Mike is a consummate professional, easy to work with and results driven. If you are like me, you're cost sensitive and want results for the time and effort that you and your organization expend upon these types of initiatives. I would highly recommend looking at what he has to offer. Simply put, you only have a couple options to drive business to your website, you can pay for it and believe me, I am quite familiar with paying those invoices, or you can have your potential customers find you organically as the preferred funnel. Listen to what Mike has to offer and his recommendations; you'll be well rewarded for your time spent with him.
Please contact me directly should you wish, and we can schedule a time to discuss what our company learned and acquired through the utilization of his services.
I can honestly say Michael is one of the most knowledgeable and skilled SEO experts I've worked with. It's rare to find an SEO expert who is so well rounded and is a true expert in all aspects of SEO (technical SEO, page optimization, content creation, link building best practices, and analytics.).
Michael's SEO knowledge and skill set is only matched by the care and attention he places on his clients. You'll be hard pressed to find an SEO professional who has such a vested interest in the success of his clients. Working with Michael is like having the knowledge and capabilities of an agency but with the attentiveness of an in-house employee.
Overall I can't say enough good things about Michael's knowledge and approach to SEO. If you're looking for a true SEO expert that can significantly improve your rankings and traffic, look no further than Michael Riedeman.

Our organic search increased by over 300% within the first six months of working with Matrix Rising. Our profits had increased by over 50% at the same time. We thought we knew all the SEO tactics before working with them. Matrix Rising has made a huge positive effect on our business moving forward. I highly recommend them to any business that wants to get ahead.

I am not sure where Michael cultivated his skills but I noticed that he was an incredible strong copywriter. As he took on more responsibility within the department, his commitment to analytics and finding trends was his strengths in his search optimization career. Most of his recommendations were challenged with resistance but ultimately his analysis was found to have merit. Michael is a a leader in that he can establish his own beliefs with data that he collects and holds his ground during the presentations of his findings. I find this rare and valuable in a "yes sir" world.
