Reckless with no positive results
I contacted themediaflow.com to see if they could help with our website SEO which I felt was under performing. They suggested that the site audit would be the best bet and have a forward going plan based upon that. I was sceptical at this point and said that I didn’t want to spend a vast amount on an audit to only tell me that I required more links. At £3150 + VAT this would be expensive advice. I was assured that this would not be the case.
The audit duly arrived with some points raised – the major one being that my website was suffering due to one of google updates called Panda. They pinpointed on a graph when they felt that this happened and worked out a strategy based on this. They were convinced that an experiment on one section of the site would prove this and the changes could then be repeated on the remaining sections of the site.
Fast forwarding to the audit suggested site changes made (more expense here as template redesign and so on) and lots of lost keywords and some strong positions dropping with none gaining positions. At this point The Media Flow did try to help by making some random, and frankly irresponsible, changes. At this point it was difficult to maintain any faith that they weren’t just knee jerk shots on the dark. Again, potentially dangerous changes were made with little regard to the implications of a small business losing valuable traffic. The site’s search visibility was dropping as it had since we started implementing their changes.
On one of our last email exchanges they actually said that the site needs some links to improve (the very thing I had said I didn't want to hear from the beginning).
I cannot recommend this company. They were reckless with someone else’s business and really did not seem to know what they were doing most of the time. I feel lucky that it didn't end worse than it did.
