Testimonials

Katrina Locke - Strategic Manager at Ontex Healthcare

Ontex has worked with Matter Solutions since 2014, and I have been involved since 2016; with the last year escalating our investment in digital projects.

The Matter team has been a critical resource to advance our custom Laravel platform and marketing activities; shifting our organization from minimal digital exposure to improving our digital performance ten fold to effectively compete in our strategic market.

By approaching our project work through a phased approach, we have been able to launch a number of successful initiatives through Matter Solutions which have exceeded project requirements at local and global levels through delivering not just on timelines and budget, but also the features and level of creativity expected.

This company is more than a typical digital agency - they act as true partners to your organization. 

This professional organization will work to your requirements and act proactively, suggesting best methods and not afraid to steer you in the right direction. 

I cannot recommend Ben, Victoria and the team highly enough.

Nick Moller - ADF Mentors

Their communication is outstanding and the end product was remarkable.

Elijah Bates - Formerly WestPac, now at Google

Ben is an articulate and intelligent speaker. I can't recommend him highly enough. I thoroughly enjoyed his presentation style and how he can provide tangible examples to real world problems. 

His engineering background gives him a platform to logically problem solve and find solutions for business problems.

Strategic Thinking.

Matter Solutions - founded in April 2000 to deliver first class websites.

2001 - Our website ranked #2 in Google UK for "London Web Design". This taught us that first class websites for clients needed more than just good coding, good design and fast/reliable web hosting.  They needed SEO, a term that wasn't even coined until 2004!

From these early days we technical work on websites (now known as Technical SEO) and link building to help client websites rank in Google, Altavista and even Yahoo.  It worked. It worked really well and clients loved it so we grew and grew from my kitchen table to a dedicated office in Wapping, East London.

2006 - I moved to United States, kept most of my UK clients and when the 2008 GFC hit we picked up way more clients in United States too.

I'd been dabbling in Google AdWords campaigns for years, but in 2010 we added a Google AdWords Management service. This neatly complemented the organic traffic clients were getting from our Brainerd based SEO services.

After attending an eye-opening conference in 2012, the team rapidly created comprehensive Digital Marketing campaigns to strategically combine our core services with newer additions: Content Marketing, Facebook Marketing and Email Marketing. We got better and better at providing campaigns with lots of moving parts. Something our technical clients really benefit from whether they're B2B or B2C.

The glowing Testimonial from Katrina at Ontex Healthcare, and the results we've achieved (and continue to achieve) for Ontex in United States are a direct result of this comprehensive approach.

We deliver these services direct to clients and some times we work in partnership with a some of United States's leading branding, creative and web design agencies, who don't have these hard-core SEO skills in-house.

Our Get Started page is a great way to see whether we would be a good fit for you and your organization. Please get in touch if you think we can help you.
