"Lucas did some website work for me, helping me to optimize the experience for users. He's very helpful and great at what he does! If you're looking for SEO or website optimization, I highly recommend his services!"

Alex Connel

"I love working with this company. Professional, thorough and trust worthy. They really know their stuff."

Andy Harrison

"Absolutely loved working with this team. Super easy to talk to, quick replies, and they actually listened to what I wanted (rare lol). The new website looks amazing, loads fast, and whenever I need changes/updates it’s been crazy easy — I just send a quick message and they handle it without a bunch of back and forth. They also helped a ton with SEO and honestly the return on the initial investment has been really high… we started seeing more calls/messages way sooner than I expected. No weird upsells, just solid work and good people. 5 stars for sure, would recommend."

Dylan Chesterman

"I highly recommend Lucas and Shepherd SEO for all your SEO and digital marketing needs. Lucas brings exceptional work ethic, valuable insights, and a genuine commitment to helping you and your business succeed. If you’re looking for real, measurable results, they’re the team to hire."

Jonah Judice

"We are getting fantastic results from Shepherd SEO! Our original website was...fine. A little bland and outdated, but serviceable. After Shepherd's service, we have a beautiful, updated, and very functional new site! We have seen direct results from the website submission form that Shepherd added to the website, and have had zero issues from day one. The personal training was also incredibly helpful and the guys made the whole process very easy and a seamless transition from the old site to the new one. Thanks so much for the great work, y'all!"
