CadenceSEO's case study for EagleView, a geospatial software and aerial-imagery company, describes a site architecture project: related pages were not grouped into a clear hierarchy, core commercial URLs were not receiving "the strongest structural and internal-linking signals available", and the new structure regrouped solution and industry pages and clarified discovery paths. The case study reports organic sessions up 127.09% after the structural change.

TurnKey rebuilt the website of Sonoran Sun AC, a family-owned Mesa HVAC company, as a fast one-page WordPress site with online booking, click-to-call, and conversion tracking, then added Mesa, Fountain Hills, Tempe, and Ahwatukee location pages during the local SEO program that followed. Because the site build and the local SEO program are described as sequential parts of the same engagement, results are not attributable to a single service. The page states the GA4 numbers are in the linked case study but gives no metrics on this page.

A client named Lifted Websites left a review describing Internet Marketing Phoenix as a team of SEO, web design, content marketing and Google ads management experts, noting they were also becoming AI SEO experts with Google Bard, ChatGPT and other AI tools. The review does not state a specific result, metric, or time period, and covers a mix of services so no result is attributable to one service.

Positions 11 to 11: the same breakdown is on each agency's profile, linked from the table above, and in the machine-readable version below.
This page is not a ranking of its own. It shows the agencies ranked for at least one published SEO need in this city, each with the score of its best documented need, the same score as on its profile, and filters who is shown. Shown: agencies that state a retainer or mixed pricing model. An agency that does not state its pricing model is listed below the ranking.
In plain words: a case counts when it names SEO agencies on a monthly retainer work and where it was published can be checked.
Ranked vendors have at least 1 claim on file that supports SEO agencies on a monthly retainer under the published rubric, of which at least 1 comes from a source outside Vendar; the rest are listed unranked.
Weights: Evidence for this query 30 · Fit to this query 25 · Capability depth 15 · Reliability 10 · Transparency 10 · Reputation 5 · Market credibility 5. Penalties: Profile flagged for review -5 · Evidence not re-checked in 18 months -5 · No independent source on file -3 · Profile below decision-ready status -2.
Verified means Vendar confirmed the company, its service and its market on official sources and stamped the profile with the date. A participation status or a partner relationship does not make a profile verified.
Every date shown is a data date. A listing's updated date is the newest verification date among its ranked vendors and the evidence claims their ranks rest on; the same value appears in the page text, the structured data and the machine feed.
A position reflects documented work for the page's question, not the quality of an agency as such. Without a public case or a visible campaign the result of an agency's work cannot be known from outside. An agency with no public evidence is not worse: there is nothing to confirm it with, so it is listed below the ranking instead of being ranked low.
This section carries the same data that AI assistants receive.
