Abby Siegel Review
Abby Siegel secures a perfect score of 5 for her first-page organic Google search results, but falls short of perfection with a 1 in the reputation category with no reviews. Also missing are data points on student outcomes, which secure her a 2 in the results category. Although she has experience as a high school college counselor, she does not appear to have experience as an admissions officer, which gives her 0 for team quality and a 0 for experience. Finally, she gets a 1 for team size (she’s the only consultant) and a 1 as an influencer (85 followers on a private Twitter account and no YouTube channel). She gets a 1.42 across all 7 categories, which place her at the bottom of our rankings.
