In my experience, the signal-to-noise ratio amongst individuals in the SEO industry is particularly bad. Supposed experts miss the forest for the trees and focus on short-term gains that are either not scalable or sustainable. In stark contrast, Brent has provided a foundation on which to build SEO success. He provides high-quality work that cuts through the noise. And, most importantly, the results are undeniably excellent. Highly recommended

Brent was mentoring during a session with Techstars and he was awesome! He gave us a 1:1 session then after and provided a HUGE amount of value for our company - thanks Brent! Super helpful Chicago SEO.

My best meeting of the week is the one I have with Brent. Always. Ive learned a ton about SEO from him, and hes helped us make great progress with our content. Highly recommend working with him!

Brent was hugely helpful with our SEO strategy. He helped set us on the right path, gave us some specific action items, and made the learning process fun, as well. A well-referred Chicago SEO.

If youre looking for an SEO authority who is knowledgeable, accessible, and patient - Brents your guy. Not only did he take the time to educate a complete SEO neophyte, but he was also willing to quarterback the execution of content development for the project. The level of critical thinking invested in the planning phase ensured an SEO strategy that was on target. I look forward to working with him on my next project.

Brent is great. He gives unfiltered feedback, straight to the point and proposes immediate, practical action steps. Great service.

His advice is very clear and actionable. I love how knowledgeable he is and his capacity to integrate SEO in a wider marketing strategy.

Thank you so much for showing us how to evaluate our SEO--Ive never seen those tools before--very helpful!

Brent is great at reviewing your site and immediately identifying low-hanging fruit that will improve your SEO juice. Additionally, Brent can dive in and get creative about how to go after your particular audience. We have a niche target that isnt as easy to solve as ranking high on the keywords. Brent quickly understood and recognized that and provided ideas for getting at that target.

Loud is the best Chicago SEO firm! Ive been working with Brent for several months to improve our SEO, and he has helped me think strategically about SEO and how to optimize The Desi Brides content in a sustainable way. Not only does Brent patiently walk me through step-by-step guidance, his SEO guidance actually works! Brent has helped us triple our traffic in a handful of months. Brent is an SEO rockstar, and Loud should be your go-to Chicago SEO firm. Thank you for all of your guidance and support, Brent!

Brent is very knowledgeable and can quickly assess the strengths and weaknesses of a website and provide easy-to-implement tactics. He is skilled at communicating in a way that makes the more technical elements of SEO accessible. He is generous with his time and has taken on our industry-specific SEO struggles as a challenge and puzzle to solve.

There are a ton of tools out there to tell you the low-hanging fruit to fix on your websites SEO - but they arent Brent. His years of experience really shine through by interpreting the data from his tools, the search engines, where you rank, etc - to not just tell you quick easy fixes... but to tell you what you should build out/write. He told us dozens of things we wouldnt have thought of, no off-the-shelf SEO tool will give you the context and strategies that Brent will... and hes upbeat with a good sense of humor to boot. Cant say enough good things about him, and weve only done one short session so far!

Extremely knowledgeable while being likable and practical! Brent is amazing.

Love the energy and insight that Brent brought. Felt like we couldve gone on for hours without slowing down. Thanks for the deep dive!

Brent was not only extremely knowledgeable about SEO, but he worked hard to quickly understand our business and give personalized advice to our company. His presentation style was energetic and he gave us very impactful and actionable recommendations we could start immediately.

Brent went above and beyond with helping us get a handle on our SEO. He gave us very tactical and real steps. Easily the most useful TechStars session of the program.

Very enjoyable conversation and several actionable takeaways from the meeting. Thanks Brent!

Brent was outstanding and was able to show us what keywords to focus on (and which ones to not). He also showed us how to raise our websites metrics as well as give us specific examples of what we should do.

Brent gave us amazing, actionable feedback. Even just a little bit of time with him has been invaluable and we now have a clearer direction of how to move forward and improve our SEO. If youre a start-up, getting time with Brent is definitely worth it.

Brent is great. Our company had a very good session with him. Also, I saw that he really cares about helping us and the other companies, and it is AWESOME.

Brent offered actionable details about how we could improve our websites SEO in clear terms. Looking forward to working with him more.

Brent doesnt waste a second to get straight to the point and shed your websites unnecessary fat. Extremely efficient and gives insightful, actionable feedback.

Super engaging session and he really knows his stuff!

I dont have too much prior knowledge on SEO (it was touched on in a few college courses I was at but not very in-depth... they also didnt teach the basics that well now that I think about it) so getting an hour long crash course on everything you actually need to know about SEO (if it isnt a big part of your job) was cool!

Brent has an amazing knowledge of SEO, and he knows how to tailor his skills to any situation. He cares deeply about the client and works tirelessly to present people and companies at their best. Its extremely valuable to have Brent on your side.

I like Brent hes a nice buddy of mine I met in-person. I have high-functioning autism. Me and him are best buddies. A friendship between a person and a high-functioning autistic person.

Brent simply has the magic to make you understand the importance, and how to execute SEO for your business.

Brent made talking about the often dry topic of SEO enjoyable and engaging and helped us with some low-hanging fruit strategies that we can action straight away.

Brent is EXTREMELY knowledgeable and was able to pick apart the landscape, analyze our areas of opportunity, and recommend suggestions in our first session alone!

He tells it how it is—he’s the voice of reason that you may not initially want to hear, but need to and are thankful you did

Super informative I look forward to booking another session

Direct, to the point, and very informative. We are very thankful for the SEO session.

Brent was amazing! He was very engaging, asked questions about my business and came up with actionable fixes to help me improve my SEO!

Additionally, their flexibility and willingness to work around and pivot with our changing needs only added to the overall experience.

Brent Payne has been doing SEO since I met him way back in 2002. He worked with Amazon closely back then and he soon after worked with me at Buy.com. He was working at a memory company at the time but later moved on to Targus and then leaped over into news SEO at the Tribune. Brent’s literally been doing SEO since Google was the small fry and AltaVista was the search engine to beat. Nobody has more SEO experience, period.

Excellent communicator in his role. Very easy to reach out to.

Direct, intense and incredibly valuable.

Brent always believed in me and taught me a lot. Loud is where I got my start and I am thankful for Brent and the people I met at Loud!

SCAM! BEWARE! CHARGES FOR LINK BUILDING AHEAD OF TIME, THEN DOESNT DELIVER! THE ONE AND ONLY POSITIVE REVIEW THEY HAVE IS FROM ONE OF THEIR OWN EMPLOYEES, BRENT PAYNE, WHO IS LEADING THIS CHARGE OF LIARS. GREAT WAY TO GET CHEATED OUT OF $10K. APPEAR PROFESSIONAL BUT ARE INCOMPETENT AND WILL SCAM YOU. RUN!

I cant say enough positive things about the Loud Interactive team. Brent and his team worked tirelessly to get our confectionary business more traffic— and the results were far beyond our expectations. I highly recommend to anyone who wants his/her business to succeed.
