With advanced URL schemes, proper headers &amp; text placement, clean structures and tagged images, we boast some of the best SEO results in and out of town. Recently we have converted some new clients from our competitors and we did some site search traffic analysis on those sites before and after the new BRIXWORK site was launched, and the results were impressive.<\/p>\n<p>In the past 2 years, <strong>we have only lost one client back<\/strong> to a competitor after a transition (and even that was due to a mis-understanding of some sort between the partners etc.). The remainder of the new converts have remained loyal with us in the wake of solid leads from search engines and other sources.<\/p>\n<h3>Jamie MacDougall<\/h3>\n<h4>4,500 impressions -&gt; 10,000 impressions per month, with nearly 3X click-throughs<\/h4>\n<p>Jamie&#8217;s former website was hosted by one of the larger competitors who boast a lot of volume &#8211; and Jamie converted to BRIXWORK in September 2012.
