They helped us find clarity in our marketing, fix blind spots in our website, and create a plan that actually works. You can tell they’ve worked with a wide range of businesses because their advice just makes sense. Easily one of the best business decisions we’ve made this year.

Janet Vines

The entire process was smooth from start to finish. They created a strategy that fit our business perfectly from messaging to SEO to conversion optimization. The level of care and detail that went into everything really stood out.

Ingrid Valencia

16:32 23 Oct 25

What impressed me most was how strategic and human their approach felt. It’s not just about ads or SEO, it’s about crafting real authority. We've been doing this already for a while with our in house team, but within a few weeks after hiring Edmond and his team, we started seeing a noticeable lift in both traffic quality and inbound leads. You can tell they genuinely care about results.

I booked an authority audit with Curious Fortune Media after hearing great things from a friend, and it exceeded every expectation. The insights were eye-opening. They pinpointed gaps in our website, messaging, and SEO that no one else had ever noticed. What stood out most was how human their approach felt. It wasn’t cookie-cutter. It was honest, data-driven, and tailored specifically to our brand. You can tell they’re masters of their craft. The level of professionalism and depth they bring is rare in this industry.

Catherine Lane

Had a great experience working with this company. The process they have is smooth and they communicate everything well. True professionals, even if they show up with tee shirts on zoom calls, lol. I definitely recommend them to anyone looking for marketing help.

I see everywhere people pitching SEO and getting ranked on page 1 and after you see it so many times you approach things like this with a bit of skepticism. But I have to say, CFM’s Authority Engine is more than just SEO. It really is a growth system like they say. That holistic approach is just what I was looking for because I don’t have the time to do the marketing. Would highly recommend these guys!

Loren Austin

The audit we got showed us exactly where we were leaking opportunities. We didn’t have the budget to start working with them yet but have been doing some of the work they advised ourselves and our website traffic has started improving. Hoping to come back and sign up soon because they clearly know what to do!

Lynn Horton

Our law firm has tried different marketing agencies before, but what set CFM apart was the Authority Engine approach. It wasn’t just about rankings, it was about building credibility online and that’s what we were looking for. The website they redesigned for us makes us stand out and I’m actually now proud to hand my business card out to someone knowing they’ll look us up.

Pamela Moore

19:18 14 Sep 25

We just started working with CFM and so far the communication and strategy has been really good. They answered all my questions, some before I even asked them, and have been following through with everything they said. Hoping to see some results soon!

Carmen Coble

05:40 14 Sep 25

The Authority Engine framework finally made SEO make sense for me. People have promised us page 1 results in record breaking time, but after working with CFM, I understand now that the real work is about building long term visibility and trust. We’re just 3 months in and already seeing rankings improve!

Lawrence Lowe

The audit we got from Curious Fortune Media showed us exactly what we needed to work on. I’ve always relied on referrals and networking in the past for clients, and to be honest never really understood the importance of SEO for our practice until Edmond explained it to us on our call. It took a little while but we’re now showing up for top keywords our clients are searching for and it’s getting us inquires online that I never imagined before. It’s been a game changer and I’m so happy I decided to go for it. If you’re on the fence and looking up some reviews to make your decision, you can take it from me that this works and these guys know what they’re doing.

Edmond actually listens, asks smart, sometimes hard to answer questions, and then takes all that and puts together a custom strategy that fits your situation perfectly. Thanks again Ed!

Herman Craig

In law school we never really got the type of business knowledge that we need to start our own firms. We really just get trained to work for others. When I was referred to Edmond by a friend I was a bit skeptical because of all the scams you hear about online, but after the first session I saw why it’s so important to have a coach. I don’t know if others are like this too, but Edmond really took the time to understand what my goals with my law firm was and how to position myself to really build momentum towards them. He’s a great listener, paying attention to what’s left not said as well as what’s said, and if you understand anything you know how important that is.

Ruth Jones

14:32 11 Sep 25

Edmond is great to work with. I’m a past client of his before he started Curious Fortune Media and happened to be one of the first customers of his new company. They wrote my article in a day and I only had a few suggestions on things to change, and after that it only took them a couple days before it was published on major news sites. Will definitely be coming back for more. Amazing experience all around!

Barbara Baker

I’ve never worked with someone like Edmond before. We didn’t sign up for the Authority Engine before but he instead convinced us to take him up on some consulting. It was worth every dollar we spent. He broke down our sales process and gave us clarity on what to change and why. Needless to say, we saved months of trial and error and when we’re ready we’ll be coming back for the full package to start showing up on top search results in Google.

We’ve done marketing in the past and we thought we were doing good, until we got an audit from Curious Fortune. It took about 3–4 weeks to start seeing results from their work, but the improvements were real. We didn’t realize it at the time, but it’s clear now we had major technical issues with our old site, and CFM not only caught them during the audit, they fixed them fast. We’re now showing up locally and nationally for keywords that bring in just the people we’re looking for

Joseph Gehlert

Hands down one of the smartest marketing minds I’ve worked with. Edmond’s insights are next-level. He’s not just giving you tactics, he gives you strategy, psychology, and structure. Every business owner should go through this process.

The Authority Engine changed everything for us. Edmond’s process helped us reposition our brand, rank higher in Google, and almost double our conversion rate. It feels like we finally have a system that works and that reflects the level of professionalism we wanted our clients to see.

Valentino Allen

18:07 24 May 25

What Edmond and his team did is more than just a web design work for us, it’s a real authority system, just like they say. They understood our audience better than we did, rewrote our copy we provided them, did our SEO, and made everything feel aligned. We now get consistent inquiries without having to running ads

Scott Peck

16:05 23 May 25

I’ve been burned by SEO agencies before, so I was skeptical. But Edmond’s approach is completely different, he’s strategic, transparent, and actually focused on building trust. We run a law firm and our site now shows up on Google, we’re booking qualified leads, and when we ask people tell us they chose us because of how professional we looked online. Highly recommend.

Dan Tate

13:27 23 May 25

We’ve worked with a lot of marketers but no one ever gave us the level of clarity Curious Fortune Media did. The audit alone was worth the price, and the strategy Edmond gave us helped us finally understand why our website wasn’t converting. You can tell these guys actually care about results.

Got Questions? We've Got Answers

Your audit is a strategic evaluation of your current online presence, not a generic automated report.

We review your website structure, SEO foundation, internal linking, authority signals, and conversion gaps to identify what is helping or limiting your growth.

You’ll receive a clear, prioritized breakdown of opportunities aligned with building a long-term client acquisition system, not just short-term traffic.

This is best suited for service-based businesses, expert-led brands, and companies that want a more strategic and sustainable way to generate clients online.

If your business relies on trust, authority, and high-quality leads—rather than just traffic—this system is designed for you.

It is not intended for businesses looking for quick hacks, short-term campaigns, or low-cost mass marketing.

Most agencies separate SEO, content, and conversion into disconnected services.

Our Authority Engine™ integrates them into one cohesive system focused on visibility, authority, and conversion working together.

Instead of chasing vanity metrics, we focus on building a structured online presence that positions your business as the trusted choice in your market and converts that trust into qualified inquiries.

This depends on your industry, competition, and current foundation.

In most cases, early traction and visibility improvements can begin within a few months, while stronger ranking and lead generation results build progressively over time.

We focus on sustainable, authority-driven growth rather than short-term spikes, which means results compound instead of resetting every time a campaign ends.

We are positioned as a strategic growth partner, not a low-cost marketing vendor.

Our work focuses on building long-term authority, structured growth systems, and sustainable client acquisition, not short-term tactics that spike traffic and fade.

For businesses serious about consistent, high-quality leads and market positioning, this approach often becomes the more effective and cost-efficient choice over time compared to fragmented marketing, paid ads dependency, or repeated agency switching.

We are not built to be the cheapest option.
We are built to be the most strategic one.

After you submit your request, we review your website and prepare a strategic audit report outlining your current positioning, structural gaps, and highest-impact growth opportunities.

You’ll receive the report directly. If there is a strong fit between your goals and our Authority Engine™ approach, we’ll outline what a potential collaboration could look like.

If not, you still keep the audit and insights.
