Recruiting, Hiring & Training

"Matt Rauch is an incredibly hardworking and loyal business partner who has keen analytical ability and understands the best use of technology in marketing. His SEO skills are second to none and he successfully drives enterprise internet marketing plans through precise research and development. He is an asset to any organization."

Analyzing a situation and knowing where and how to strike is at the core of what Matt does best. He has amassed a significant set of skills in the SEO environment and has demonstrated on multiple occasions his value in being able to either jumpstart an existing product or accelerate the growth of a company’s digital presence from initiation. In the short time I worked with Matt, he exceeded expectations numerous times with a wide variety of B2B and B2C clients. I would enjoy the opportunity of working again with Matt.

“Matt knows his stuff when it comes to technical SEO requirements, including optimal site architecture and on page elements. He is up to speed on the ever changing search algorithms. He is also conscientious and a pleasure to work with.”

“Matt is an expert at developing web marketing strategies.

I brought Matt into Guidelight to develop a new market area for the company around enterprise mobile solutions. Through his direct leadership of multiple web and SEO initiatives, the company benefited first from formally establishing a new presence in the mobile space, then growing our market share with a focus on enterprises with revenues greater than $1B. Guidelight continues to enjoy the results of the marketing strategy Matt established.”

“Matt's SEO expertise proved invaluable at a time when our company was seeking to maximize its visibility and minimize its expenses. With Matt's help, we were able to cut our marketing spend to a fraction of the company's prior spend - and yet still realize much greater results. Shortly after Matt "optimized" our website, the company cut all marketing spending.

It is still hard for me to believe, but over a year later the site still ranked among Google's top results across the most relevant keywords. Matt is hard working and can push forward with little direction required. If one needs SEO or digital marketing help, they would be wise to contact Matt.”

“Matt is a true expert in SEO and UX. His analysis provided sound and logical recommendations for our SEO efforts that were overlooked by many other SEO consultants. Not only does he have the expertise - he also is able to communicate the findings and priorities accordingly to all stakeholders: from IT teams to executive sponsors. Matt is a pleasure to work with as well a key strategist for search engine optimization.”

“Matt provided us with a high level of SEO expertise, particularly on the technical side as it related to how our e-commerce website was set up. This enabled us to implement important on-site SEO changes without negatively impacting the functionality and usability of our site.

In order to understand what changes we needed to make, and how best to apply them, Matt always took the time to explain in detail what was necessary, even down to going through the source code to identify exactly what needed to be modified.

Matt has a an extensive knowledge of SEO -- both onsite and offsite -- and was able to keep us up-to-date with the latest changes in Google's algorithm so that we could make adjustments to our SEO strategy as needed.”
