I've been partnered w/ Stephen and Core Connect for a little over a year now. I recently tasked Stephen to update my website, and not only did he do a phenomenal job but I'm now being recommended in the AI search results via (ChatGPT, Gemini, & Claude). This exposure has increased my Google Business profile traffic and appointments scheduled. I'm excited to see how he can continue to help my business rank and garner more leads.

Stephen and CORE CONNECT have done a fantastic job revamping our website and fixing our online visibility. We were in a mess, having trusted a few different companies or solicitiations prior, and were coming from little knowledge on the subject. Stephen has done a great job fixing what was wrong and building our online presence in a way that has begun to show results. He's knowledgeable and educational, providing resources so you can see his progress. Will definitely recommend him to others.

Left another website design firm, and signed up with Core Connect earlier this year. Stephen is very detailed, and easy to talk to. Made the process easy. Makes suggestions, but also takes into account what the client is asking for. Also reasonably priced.

Stephen is a good friend and an even better person. We've worked together on several client projects, and his willingness to go the extra mile, combined with his deep industry knowledge really sets him apart. CoreConnect is a great choice if you're looking for real SEO and a website set up to convert traffic into real leads. I confidently recommend him to many of my clients.

Working with Stephen to revamp my company's Website (WBM) was a great experience. He was able to see the big picture and put together exactly what we needed. As modifications were needed on our end, Core Connect was able to make them on the fly and their management has been there for any and all of our needs. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to build, revamp and/or manage their site.

Stephen went above and beyond in helping me create my first website and was incredibly helpful throughout the whole process. He understood me as an individual as well as my brand and overall vision for the site which made everything we worked on exactly how I wanted it to look and I couldn't have been happier with the end result. I will definitely work with Stephen again and highly recommend him to anyone else.
