Free SEO Analysis
SumoDrive offers a free SEO analysis. Interested businesses can provide their contact information and website and SumoDrive will respond with its analysis of the site and tips for improvement.
The Bad
- Misleading Website
- Not a Certified Partner
Misleading Website
At first glance, SumoDrive appears to have a very detailed website. However, several links are either broken or redirect you to the top of the page you are already on. It makes trying to find relevant information very difficult.
Also, the site content is incomplete. It lists six different case studies, but the text and graphics are exactly the same on all six pages. Additionally, it shows eight e-books available for free download. However, only one is actually downloadable and it is not written by SumoDrive.
Obvious errors and oversights like these call SumoDrive’s professionalism into question.
Not a Certified Partner
SumoDrive is not a certified partner with either Google or Bing. While a digital marketing agency does not need to be a certified partner to provide SEO and PPC services, partnership status informs potential clients that the agency is using white hat strategies.
The Bottom Line
The current state of SumoDrive’s website does not create confidence in its abilities as a full service marketing agency. The variety of services and the extremely reasonable prices for SEO marketing may make it appealing for some businesses, but we recommend you have detailed conversations about the scope and execution of any marketing projects before signing a contract with SumoDrive.
