Where the public evidence points
AdShark qualifies through a current Fargo office, an official 2013 founding, a current about-page count of 19 people and multiple company-authored search cases. The 10-20 capacity band follows that current first-party count rather than a marketplace estimate. Its strongest organic cases are older, and broader current outcomes combine SEO with paid, web and conversion work. No exact current comparable SEO minimum was found, so pricing remains unscored.

Questions for the sales call
- Request read-only Search Console, analytics and ecommerce or lead data for a comparable current engagement, with absolute baselines and date windows.
- Confirm the named delivery team, monthly capacity and division of technical SEO, content, paid media, web and conversion responsibilities.
- Obtain a current line-item proposal separating recurring SEO from content, development, email, paid media, software and media spend.
What this profile does not prove
- No exact current recurring SEO minimum is public.
- All selected outcomes are company-authored, not independently audited, and the most SEO-specific cases are older.
- The Elevate case mixes organic, paid-search and paid-social outcomes, so channel-level incrementality requires buyer-side validation.
