  I couldn’t be happier with Michael’s service. When I call him about mortgage rates, he *always* is lower than anyone else. He returns calls on weekends, and is always so helpful. If you want great customer service from a mortgage broker, call this guy!

  Finding a true SEO was the best thing that has happened to my online presence - and Michael George is second to none. Michael helped to not only redesign my website, but drastically improve my rankings in Google searches. Being a real estate agent, Google search is a huge referral source for my business. Michael helped me to regain my place on Google and placed me on the first page for 32 search phrases!! Michael also worked with my community manager and blogger to help unify my online presence and make sure each social channel was cohesive with the next. His customer service and humble manner made it so easy to approach him with any question or concern, no matter how small. I would recommend Michael to anyone who needs help with their online presence. He made a huge difference to mine!

  Needed a fresh website for my e-recycle business and interviewed a few local web design/SEO companies... Michael was clearly in first place the moment he came into my shop and we began discussing the site and options. It was clear he understood what we wanted and was already putting ideas in his notepad as I was talking. He is quick with correspondence, takes direction extremely well, and was a joy to work with. I never felt pressured to do or add something I did not want to the site and even after I paid him in full he was still there, tinkering, making sure the site was up to his standards. You can't go wrong with Guru and Michael!

  Jered-- thank you so much for your kind words. It was a pleasure working with you on this project. Although 80% of our clients are outside of Phoenix (or Arizona for that matter), I love it when we can help a local business like yours. It is for these same reasons that we don't outsource any SEO or web design work. We try to keep it in Arizona when we can; and always "made in the USA." Thank you again sir.

  I hired Michael to move/transfer a very difficult Wordpress installation from one server to another. He did a lot more work than I expected and made it a priority knowing how important my website is to me. (90% of my business comes through my site). Finding someone as knowledgeable as Michael is rare, but to find someone you can trust and who actually does what they say they will is even more rare. My next project will be to hire him for some SEO work and minor site re-design. I would highly recommend Michael to anyone needing the services he provides.

  Response from the owner

  Thank you Brad! You had a pretty complex WP installation, but I am glad we were able to help you!

  Michael with Guru Effect was recommended to me by someone I really respect so I knew he'd be good. He is great to work with and unlike a lot of SEO "experts" he really knows what he is talking about. My site was a mess when he started working on it and immediately was able to fix several issues that were hurting my rankings. I just noticed today that I am now in position #1 on Google for a term I was in position #18 for a couple of months ago! I would highly recommend Michael if you need SEO work or someone to work on your website, you won't be disappointed.

  Michael George truly is a guru. I am a real estate agent that used to work in Information Technology for 25+ years, so I've been around enough "tech heads" to know when someone is blowing smoke and when they are the real deal. Michael George is the REAL deal. I developed my own Wordpress site. I had tried previously to hire 4 other consultants and each time would discover that they really did NOT know what they were doing after the obvious low hanging fruit was plucked and in fact were doing things that would ultimately harm me with Google such as link farms, etc. I am technically savvy enough to realize that they were not what they represented and had to terminate their involvement, and I was getting frustrated that it seemed I was going to have to do it all myself to get what I needed. And then, praise the heavens, I found Guru Effect. Michael has far exceeded my expectations so far and is really easy to work with as well -- I am seeing a big improvement in organic ranking and getting more registrations on my site. He has really creative ideas on how to get even more "Google juice" and they are technically sophisticated and frankly, brilliant. Michael always tells me when he is making a change, when it will be done, and then he does it on time, seamlessly and with minimal if any interruption to my site. I am really looking forward to the next several months as the recent changes he just made start to really raise my site up. I am TOTALLY grateful I finally found someone I can trust to do this stuff for me so that I can focus on selling real estate instead of having to tweak my own site. If you are lucky enough to get Michael George to squeeze you in as a client, you will be thanking the heavens too!

  Michael George is one of the few people I will trust when it comes to SEO. He is down to earth and knows his stuff. Unlike some SEO's, who like to give you unrealistic expectations or do crooked things in order to obtain short term rankings, Michael plays by the book. If you have a Wordpress blog and need any kind of help either with implementing or running a site, I would highly recommend him! Over the years Michael has fixed a number of Wordpress issues I have run into for a very reasonable amount of money. You can't go wrong when you hire the Guru Effect!

  Almost one year ago I had Michael George totally redesign my real estate website. I knew I needed a change, and after meeting Michael, I was sure that I found the right person to do the job. Previous experiences taught me to find a true SEO. Yes, they are hard to find, and many will be proclaimed guru's. Most really have no clue. I can assure you that Michael is the real deal. My new website is on the first page of Google for all my key words, and my phone rings. I could not be happier! Thanks Michael!!

  Michael and his team at Guru Effect went above and beyond to create the most amazing real estate website for us. He always made sure our questions were answered in a timely fashion and with great detail. We never felt rushed when talking to him and have learned so much about SEO in the process. We searched the internet for the best SEO company, and interviewed many of them. Michael stood out from the rest, when the others were trying to nickle and dime us and B.S. their way around our questions, Michael did not. We couldn't be happier about how our website turned out and look forward to learning more from him. We would recommend Guru Effect to anyone. Michael demonstrates "true pride of reputation", thanks again Guru Effect! Sincerly, Gilbert Communities

  It was a consummate professional experience with Michael George in revamping my website from scratch. He knows his SEO stuff, designs well to add value to what I wanted and required to boost my search business presence and answered questions exceedingly well through the process. It has been a pleasure working with him. He gets my wholehearted recommendation to anyone looking for the best search engine optimization and web person. If you are looking for the right technical stuff you have found it with Michael.
