Recently, I’ve had to let go of a very large SEO and Web Maintenance client due to our little company picking up too much steam in other directions.  We felt it necessary to help our former client find replacements that will suit their needs.

Understandably, we’ve never looked for webmasters or Search Engine Optimization (SEO) Experts before because that’s what we do.  As we contacted dozens of companies in Hawaii, this is what we came up with:

• A few solid quality companies

• And then a few slimy webmasters (see below)
