Buyer decision brief

Where the public evidence points

Matchbox Design Group qualifies through a current St. Louis headquarters, a documented July 2006 start, 16 named people, a broad technical/local/content SEO scope and three detailed named cases. The selected cases publish raw baselines and comparison windows, although every result remains company-authored and some engagements combine SEO with UX, content, web or paid work. No exact recurring SEO amount is public, so price remains unscored.

Questions for the sales call

  • Request read-only Search Console, GA4 and CRM evidence with the same date windows reported in a comparable case.
  • Obtain a recurring scope that separates SEO, content, development, paid media and reporting fees.
  • Confirm the named account team, content and link cadence, implementation allowance, minimum term and ownership.

What this profile does not prove

  • No public recurring SEO fee is available.
  • All selected outcomes are company-authored rather than independently audited.
  • The cases combine SEO with content, technical, UX or broader search-marketing work, so channel contribution should be validated.
