Who are we?

STUDIOHIG is a hands on digital marketing agency that helps you with your inbound marketing strategy and execution.

STUDIOHIG or ‘Studio Higher In Google’ is a website of marketeer and commercial photographer Vincent Hartman and is a tradename of STUDIOVHF.

Why do we do this?

  1. We thoroughly enjoy seeing the search engine positions of your key-words creeping up, because we know that that will start bringing in the leads that you want. We see the SERPS-league a bit like a sports competition.

  2. It is a very tangible and measurable way of marketing that brings in hard cash for you, as well as us. It makes perfect business sense.

Why work with us?

SEO is a labour intensive job and when done correctly will get you long lasting results. There is no such thing as quick fixes.

  • Extensive experience with B2B websites and B2C sites in SMCG.

  • All the resources you need in a single place: thanks to our years of experience, we have the resources and the back-office staff to help manage end-to-end projects alongside your team.

  • We’ll never waste your time or your money. We will only take on a project after thorough analysis and research of your industry and website(s) and if we feel that there is a clear business case.

When did it start?

Experience in cold-calling, channel marketing and general marketing communication led to the start of a small sales and marketing consultancy firm in 2009. Proven and conventional methods like picking up the phone and networking, quickly got us of the ground. For the commercial photography side of the business however, these methods were rather inefficient as advertising agencies and marketing departments of larger corporate companies had strong relationships with existing photographers and studios.

Only when there was a change in relationship or when there was a need for a certain discipline that was missing they started looking for other photographers. And that is where SEO came in. On average 16% of the turnover came in via the website and some of them became repeat customers, directly contributing to the growth of the business.

An ever changing industry

It is doubtful how important experience in SEO is, as the methods used back then are definitely a no-go today. At least we can say that we have learned what to do and what not to do and we can put changing algorithms and techniques into perspective.

Today we work with professional SEO software and various tools to do research and to measure progress. On a daily basis, we follow the latest trends and updates in the SEO industry to keep up to date and plan ahead.
