Read it at the sourceNo review platform profiles
We have no Google Business Profile reviews, no Clutch profile and no G2 listing. Until we do, there is nothing honest to link, so we link nothing.
No review markup
Ratings markup only belongs on real, verifiable reviews. This site carries none, and will not until the reviews exist.
No written client testimonials
Our rule is on-camera or nothing. Six named people are on video; we have not asked clients for written quotes.
Two press pages left off
Two further interviews blocked our link check rather than returning a page, so they are not listed. A dead link is worse than a short list.
