Matt Cutts taught myself and my team here at Wiideman Consulting Group what it means to be transparent, humble and forthcoming as practitioners in an industry that by nature is completely opposite.

The Q&A's, the Webmaster Central videos, the panels, keynotes, and one-on-one time he gave us and the SEO community have played a significant role in how we approach strategy and how we defend our opinions with skeptical clients.

Matt is inspiring as person, teaching us that no matter how popular we get in our industry, that we can still be kind, helpful, and true to our values. Everyone on our team is grateful to have had Matt Cutts as the voice and liaison of Google, we truly would not be here without him.
