Companies that treat B2B SEO as a checkbox exercise tend to get checkbox results.
- This is still true in traditional search (Google + Bing), with ever increasing complexity being expected of sites. Stuff that used to be “nice to haves” are now “must haves”.
- AI search (AEO, GEO, etc.) is adding to that complexity of what it takes to consistently win there.
The 10 clients below came to Why Stuff Sucks® because they needed more than increasing traffic. They needed qualified leads, revenue growth, and a content strategy that would hold up not just six months, twelve months, but three years from now (and beyond).
Every engagement is different, but the throughline is consistent: strategic search engine optimization built around your buyers, your funnel, and your business model. We do not take on every client who reaches out, and we do not deliver cookie-cutter strategies.
What you will find below are real B2B companies across manufacturing, SaaS, services, and ecommerce that partnered with us, executed on a focused SEO strategy, and came out the other side with measurable outcomes. If you want to understand how B2B SEO can actually work for you, this is the page for you.
Most of these clients voluntarily worked with us for 2-4+ years, which is beyond the first 12 month agreement for all new clients.

Real Words From Real Decision Makers Who Raked In Qualified SEO Leads
EXCELLENT Based on 26 reviews Posted on Google Rich HumphreyJune 30, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We’ve had a great experience working with Why Stuff Sucks. They’ve been instrumental in helping us elevate both our SEO and AEO strategies, and we have seen impressive results. Their team brings a clear, strategic approach and does an excellent job translating complex search trends into practical actions that drive real impact. I highly recommend them to any organization looking to get more serious about search—especially as AEO becomes increasingly important. Great team, great results.Posted on Google Matthew SchererJune 5, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Working as a writer for Why Stuff Sucks was an incredible experience. The briefs and feedback were both crystal clear and highly detailed, making it effortless to create top-tier content and web copy. Highly recommend!Posted on Google Tony EhrbarJune 3, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We've been working with Why Stuff Sucks on our SEO strategy and the results speak for themselves. AI/LLM-driven traffic is up nearly 200% year over year, and organic plus AI search contacts are up 66%. Miles is the reason. He's a sharp strategic thinker who clearly understands where search is heading, especially around GEO and AI search visibility. He doesn't just show you numbers, he explains what they mean and what to do about it. Highly recommend if you're serious about SEO that's built for how people search today.Posted on Google Paige WimberlyJune 1, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We've been working with Miles for a number of years and he's been a valuable partner for our marketing team. He has helped us think through our SEO strategy and stay on top of changes in AI search. SEO now accounts for about 29% of our conversions, and his guidance has played a big role in that. Very knowledgeable & easy to work!Posted on Google Josh PughJune 1, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. As an agency, we don't refer client work out lightly as our name is attached to whoever we bring in, so I like to find trusted and honest partners. We've sent SEO work to Miles and the Why Stuff Sucks team, including referring Lightman Immigration, and have always been so happy with the outcome. Miles is straight with you, explains the reasoning behind what he's doing, outlines limitations, and keeps up with where search is actually heading instead of running a five-year-old playbook. He's also one of the few people I've come across building real strategy around AI search (AEO/GEO) — treating it as something to measure and win. One of our referred clients saw AI search sessions grow 37% year over year off that approach which has obviously made us very popular! Easy recommendation.Posted on Google Doug LightmanApril 8, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Working with Miles and Daniel has been a great experience. Their SEO strategy — especially around AI‑driven SEO — is thoughtful, transparent, and clearly built for long‑term success. We’ve seen real results, including a big increase in impressions, organic traffic, and form submissions. What really stands out is how trustworthy and straightforward they are. Communication is clear, expectations are realistic, and they consistently deliver on what they promise. I’d definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable SEO partner.Posted on Google Phyllis NorteyApril 7, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Miles is the one industry leader I completely trust for his SEO expertise, his integrity, and his overall investment in seeing his clients and their companies grow to the next level and beyond. His short- and long-term growth strategies are proven and helped catapult our existing and new websites to the top of search-results pages. There is no comparison to his experience, especially with AI search. I continually turn to him as I have navigated various companies and industries over the last decade (Design Group among others), with support navigating the highs and lows of business shifts. I strongly suggest you partner with him for any stage growth, whether or not you have an existing internal team. You will all learn something most valuable from Miles, and have a long-term growth partner.Posted on Google David PfeifferMarch 11, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. As a UX consultant, I brought Miles in for some SEO work for the CSS corporate website. The client was very please and continued to work with Miles even after my work was complete.Posted on Google David ZeyJune 11, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Working with Why Stuff Sucks has been a great experience. Miles Smith provides thoughtful, practical guidance on both national and local SEO that creates real impact on our website’s visibility and overall strategy. What really stands out is having a trustworthy local company who truly understands our market and goals. It’s a bonus that brings both peace of mind and results.

We’ve Helped B2B Companies Reach Their Target Audience Across These 4 Industries

B2B buyers do not search the way B2C buyers do. They research longer, involve more stakeholders, and make decisions based on trust and specificity. Reaching the right target audience in B2B means building content and SEO strategy around the language those buyers actually use, not the language your internal team uses to describe your products.
These clients represent four distinct industries, each with different buyer behaviors, search patterns, and competitive search landscapes. Here is how they break down:

Manufacturing/Industrial | |

Stop Leaving SEO Lead Generation to Chance, Let’s Build Something That Compounds Month-after-Month, Year-after-Year
