CustomDatasets.com specializes in building custom datasets, databases, and data infrastructure for clients. If you need a custom dataset for your project — web scraping, data normalization, database engineering — we can help.
But many projects need more than data. If you need a full-service SEO agency, a link building team, LLM and AI optimization, or online reputation management, the companies below are ones I personally recommend. These are real recommendations based on my own experience working with or alongside these businesses — not paid placements.
Citation Labs
I’ve worked with Garrett French for over two decades. He’s one of the most tenacious link builders and citation builders I’ve ever met, insanely persistent and consistently delivering results. Garrett has been a figurehead in the SEO and link building industry for roughly 25 years.
If Garrett says he can do it, I trust him completely. For link building, content-based link acquisition, or citation campaigns, Citation Labs is my first recommendation.
New Media Advisors
I’ve worked with Scott Gardner (Founder & Partner), for 25 years, including growing two different SEO agencies together in the 2000s. New Media Advisors focuses on enterprise-level SEO and AI Search for large organizations, including Fortune 500 and Fortune 1000 brands.
Their strength is more than execution. It’s helping internal client teams set direction, design strategies, plan implementation, and measure impact. If you need enterprise SEO leadership and Scott says his team can do it, I trust him 100%.
iPullRank
I’ve known Mike King for more than 15 years, and he is one of the smartest SEOs working today, at every level. Beyond his ability to educate and lead the industry, Mike is deeply technically versed with a background in engineering.
When the Yandex search engine source code was leaked, Mike and I worked together in a private Slack channel analyzing the code. His ability to read the industry, see where it’s going, and translate that into strategy is second to none. For SEO and AI/LLM optimization, I highly recommend iPullRank.
Erin Jones
Erin Jones specializes in online reputation management and local SEO consulting. If you need help managing how your brand appears online or improving local search visibility, she’s the person to talk to.
Erin was personally trained by Andy Beal, who pioneered reputation monitoring and management online and wrote the first book on the subject. Andy is no longer in the industry, but Erin carries forward everything she learned directly from him.
