If you are an SEO company or other web development company, the Certified Organization logo on your website indicates to potential clients that your company consists of educated search engine optimization professionals who will be using the best SEO tools on the planet to improve their website's search engine ranking. Plus, it indicates that your company is serious and stable enough to invest in continuing education to keeping your employees on top of the best search engine optimization practices available.

Likewise, if you are a company with an in-house optimization team, the Certified Organization logo on your website indicates to your customers that your company cares about providing them with an honest, trustworthy website that is committed to improving their search engine experience by fighting spam and presenting the search engine with the most relevant content possible.
