About Our SEO Company
The Search Engine Guys (TSEG), a division of Cloud 8 Sixteen, is a full-service, owner-operated web marketing company with offices in Austin and Chicago. We provide: search engine optimization, reputation management, pay-per-click marketing, website design, content development, custom photography and videography for law firms and businesses throughout the U.S.
We’re Exclusive. Here’s Why.
We believe that exclusivity is fundamental to both our success and yours. Would Coca Cola allow its marketing agency to work for Pepsi? Never! Why should you hire an SEO company that is also working for your competition? As a client of TSEG, you get 100% exclusivity for your targeted keywords – we will never optimize your competition. Zero compromise, zero conflict of interest.
We’re Looking for Relationships
We believe that meaningful relationships hinge on directness and transparency. We spend far more time discussing limitations, unknowns, and competitive pressures with prospective clients than we spend touting “possible results” or hoped-for ROI. Since no one can predict the future, we think this is the only prudent and honest way to do business.
Who wants to hear a sales pitch? Not us! Why should you? Given the insane number of “empty guarantees” that we all see and hear each day, we embrace the simple axiom that if something on the web seems too good to be true, it is.
Our Take on SEO
We fundamentally reject the myth that SEO is magic. There are no “silver bullets” in SEO – except hard work, diligence, and consistency. Our track record is all we have and our only guarantee is that we will work our tails off on your behalf.
Our Management Team
In addition to being a few steps too slow on the hard court, our founding partners are showing signs of male pattern baldness (Chicago) and breakfast burrito overdose (Austin). Nevertheless, they proudly possess over 25 years of combined experience in the core disciplines of SEO and have consulted with over 1000 companies (combined) across the US during their careers.
