SEO company founder and president Chris Genge started 1st on the List in 1997. Chris wanted to help websites attain sustainable rankings in the Top Search Engines of 1997 like Yahoo, Infoseek, Alta Vista, Lycos, Excite, and Ask Jeeves.
Alta Vista is now defunct (2013). Today, Google (launched in 1998) commands approximately 80 – 85% of all online traffic. And, although Yahoo and Ask are still in the Top 10, they fall behind relative newcomer Bing (launched in 2009).

Social Media Manager, Riviera Nayarit Visitors & Convention Bureau
I have been using 1st on the List for just over 3 years in the very competitive professional services industry. During that time, they have helped me to increase my web traffic by 10x and I have seen my position in the Google rankings consistently improve, even versus much larger and more established competitors.
I am only in my second year and I am up 700 to 1000% over the previous year in sales. I have owned multiple businesses including restaurants, automotive repair, etc., and I have never seen or heard of growth like this. I plan on growing my business using these folks, and these folks only in the foreseeable future.
Our overall experience has been very positive and 1st on the List has been very good at keeping us informed of the latest trends/changes in the SEO industry. The results speak for themselves…the number of daily hits we get has DOUBLED and we have achieved and maintained good positioning with different search engines!
We have seen a steady increase in web traffic and quality leads since first working with 1st on the List. And we continue to see monthly increases through their efforts. 1st on the List is accessible and responsive. They are also very knowledgeable in what they do and have the patience to help their customers understand the processes and details of SEO work. Trust 1st on the List and their expertise – they know what they are doing!
Throughout the design process 1st on the List was receptive to our ideas and feedback and willing to try out our ideas to see how they would look on the site. They also gave valuable input – both from a creative and practical stance – to produce an outstanding finished product. The site has only been live for a few weeks and we are already getting great feedback. I believe that the website truly captures the spirit of our company and the value we offer. I know it will be a valuable stream for attracting new clients in the coming years.
The team at 1st on the List went above and beyond in getting our website launched so fast. They took our budget and recommended what would get us the most bang for our buck. They are very knowledgeable and led us through each step so that I didn’t have to worry about all the details. We are very happy with the finished result and are already getting great feedback from our customers. They are also taking care of our SEO which we are pleased with – I’d absolutly refer their work to anyone.
