Hi, I'm Joshua James Steimle and I'm the founder and CEO of The SEO Consultants. In 1999 I started and have since managed MWI, a Utah-based SEO and web design firm. MWI is an expensive firm with clients that have big budgets, and while that's all well and good, around 2005 I began to notice that we were turning away a lot of potential clients whose budgets for search engine optimization services were in the sub-$500 per month range, and so I started working on the business model and technology that would become The SEO Consultants.

Our mission at The SEO Consultants is to make money...for you! Sure, we have a business to run and we don't do it for free, but our business doesn't make money unless our clients make more money than we do as a result of our SEO services. And so our goal is to provide high-quality search engine optimization services to clients with smaller budgets so that they can compete with the big boys. I know that as long as we can do that and provide you with a high return on your investment you'll keep us around.

My job at The SEO Consultants is to make sure my customers and employees are happy. If you ever have a problem with our systems, services, or an unhappy employee who's making you unhappy, I want you to contact me immediately so I can take care of it and make things right. In most cases I'll respond within 24 hours, if not 1 hour, unless I'm in the middle of an Ironman race.
