“Bart came recommended to me by a friend for technical SEO. I went into this expecting a normal technical audit I could take action on to fix up my site. I came out of it absolutely inspired with a new view on SEO. For the past decade I've been rotating through SEO agencies, knowing just enough about SEO to know that I don't know enough. Following one agency to the next lended me average results at best, with a lot picking up on how much I didn't know and delivering slop that didn't rank with a well thought out reason for it. I got so discouraged I just gave up to focus on channels I know more about. When you talk to Bart, he's not checking boxes to meet your scope and move on with his day. He genuinely loves SEO, and goes out of his way to share principles, ideas, gaps that you may not have not considered. And he'll give you ideas on how to implement. He gets excited when he passes on something new for you that you can use, like, it feels like he gets energized by that. He's a rare find because even if he had done the "check the boxes" amount of work, I'd still be happy with him and his process. But now I genuinely feel like I have someone in my corner that I can bounce an SEO idea off of or get an opinion and he'll share his thoughts unfiltered, unguarded. It's easy to work with him, his rates are competitive, and when you have his attention, you have his full attention. Thanks for all the help so far Bart and see you on our next quarterly audit!”
“As Lead SEO at SERP Builders, Bart has exceeded my initial expectations - and those expectations were high. He is a clear communicator, reliable, and very knowledgeable about SEO. Perhaps most importantly, Bart’s advanced SEO pattern recognition - honed through working on dozens of websites - allows him to determine what is having the biggest impact on organic traffic for each client, and create a budget-friendly plan that gets results. I highly recommend Bart to anyone who is looking to boost their site’s rankings.”
“Bart worked as a senior SEO Specialist for the Traffic Family (large portfolio of Dutch ecom affiliate sites) and I was his employer. I've had the pleasure of working closely with Bart, and honestly, working with him is just easy. He's seriously smart and thinks holistically. He can dig deep into a site or a problem and actually understand it, which is rarer than people think. What stands out just as much is how he treats people. He's respectful and warm with everyone, he's patient, and that makes him a genuinely nice person to have on a team. He's direct and tells you what he thinks (Dutch directness), but never in a way that stings (because of his broad international experience). He can hold his own in both strategic and hands-on roles, but where he really shines is strategy. That's where his ability to truly understand the material pays off the most. The thing I think he can be most proud of is the consistent growth he's delivered on pretty much every page and project he's touched. That's not luck, that's Bart. If you want someone who's sharp, goes deep, and is a pleasure to work with, I'd recommend him without hesitation. You can contact me as a reference as well.”

Our projects have mostly focused on ranking for niche B2B search terms, and ensuring overall SEO health of the site. The projects have always been completed in a timely manner, with attention to detail, and ultimately, a succesful outcome. I can happily recommend Bart for SEO, especially in the B2B space.”
