Black Octopus Agency looks like they’re still in that grind of building domain authority in a pretty competitive space, which tells you a couple of things. They understand they’re not operating in an easy market and are working on the long game, but you’re not seeing the kind of obvious dominance you’d expect from a top tier SEO shop that’s already nailed its own backyard. Would I hire them? If you’re a smaller or growing business and you want a partner who’s clearly in the build phase themselves and understands what it’s like to fight for authority, they could be a fit. If you’re expecting an agency that already owns their niche and can show clear proof of being the go to authority in their market, I’d be cautious and ask them to walk you through exactly how their own SEO strategy is performing and where it’s headed.
