Open HypeStat sourceBuyer decision brief
Where the public evidence points
Online Optimism qualifies through a current New Orleans headquarters, explicit 2012 launch, an approximately 20-person team, a detailed search service, channel-specific pricing and multiple outcome cases. The published $2,000 monthly SEO and content starting point is comparable enough to display, but scope and media costs still require a proposal. Cases are first-party and the selected programs vary in how completely they isolate organic search.
The current site publishes founding, headquarters, approximate team and channel-specific pricing
Search work includes on-site, off-site, technical, local, content, links, Google Business Profile and analytics
Public cases report organic traffic, ranking, conversion, backlink and non-brand discovery outcomes

Company-published named case across ten campuses using 41 local pages, technical SEO, schema, internal links, Google Business Profile work and reviews; the page compares against the prior 12 months but does not provide raw conversion counts.
Open sourceCardinal Expo
154.46% more organic sessions, from 909 to 2,313, comparing the first six months of 2022 with 2021
Company-published named case in which more than a dozen organic and conversion-focused service-area pages preceded a broader paid-search program; the organic comparison is explicit, while later lead-generation outcomes mix channels.
Open sourceMid City TMS

Questions for the sales call
- Confirm which deliverables fit the $2,000 starting tier and quantify monthly strategy, technical, content, link, local-search and reporting hours.
- Request Search Console, analytics and CRM exports for a comparable client with organic, paid, redesign, brand and location-page effects separated over exact date windows.
- Confirm the named delivery team, contract length, 60-day opt-out language, revision limits, media spend, reporting cadence and ownership of copy, creative, accounts and tracking.
What this profile does not prove
- The published $2,000 amount is a channel starting point, not a promise that every competitive SEO scope is available at that price.
- All outcomes are company-authored; Cardinal Expo later became a combined SEO and paid-search engagement, while the Mid City case does not publish patient-lead attribution.
- Around 20 is an approximate company statement, so the 10-20 directory band is conservative and does not prove account-level staffing.
