What Strategy Session Participants
Said About Their Experience…

“Thank you for your time this afternoon Josh! When I initially scheduled the strategy session I was concerned that it might be a waste of time or worse just a sales pitch. I can honestly say that you exceeded my expectations. You took the time to understand my situation and the goals of the company. Beyond that, you did your due diligence prior to the call by reviewing our website, evaluating our rankings and came to the meeting prepared to share actionable insights and ideas. It was refreshing to talk with a real expert in this area of Internet Marketing without feeling like I was getting the hard sale. I came away from the meeting with a fresh perspective on our overall internet marketing strategy and the reports you shared make it clear what we need to do next.” – Josh Wyatt, Elder Plumbing & Mechanical

“I just wanted to take a moment and send you a personal note of thanks for the information you shared on our strategy session this afternoon. I can say without any reservations you are the real deal when it comes to SEO for plumbing and HVAC companies. You are spot on with the depth of your knowledge and your expertise. I understand you only work with one company in each market… Keep up the good work. I feel very privileged to know that you belong to ACCA and PHCC.” – John Quinn, Quinn's Plumbing, Heating & Cooling

“We contacted Josh Nelson of Plumbing & HVAC SEO after watching one of his webinars. Josh spent over an hour with us, allowing us to ask numerous questions, showing us examples… of his work, and perusing our web site. He did not pressure us to sign up for their service though the offer was made. It was a privilege to speak with him and his level of knowledge of his business is very evident.” – Bruce A. Kramer, Aaron Kramer Plumbing

“Josh Nelson knows his stuff! I was on his webinar a few days ago and took him up on his offer for a strategy session. I feel like we have a pretty strong internet marketing strategy but am always open to new ideas and suggestions for improvement. Josh walked me through a report showing where we are rocking it but also pointed out a number of areas for improvement and suggestions to do even better.” – Paddy Write, Harris Plumbing & HVAC

“If you run a Plumbing or HVAC business and want to get better results online you can’t afford not to schedule a strategy session with Josh Nelson of Plumbing & HVAC SEO. I followed Josh’s videos & podcast for several months prior to scheduling my session and wish that I had done it sooner. He broke down my website, showed me exactly what I could do to improve my rankings and shared a lead generation strategy that I plan to implement right away. Based on the insights he shared, I saved myself hours of wasted time in Trial & Error. It’s clear Josh knows what he is talking about and that he cares about your success. I highly recommend taking him up on his Strategy Session Offer.” – Josh Schoville, Rock Valley HVAC
