We partnered with Above Apex as a link-building and outreach partner to support several enterprise-level SEO projects managed by our agency, Z-Consult.

The main scope of work focused on acquiring high-quality backlinks for competitive international markets where strong authority signals are essential for organic growth. Above Apex supported our SEO strategies by delivering consistent link placements on relevant and trustworthy websites.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

Above Apex demonstrated strong project management throughout our collaboration. Communication was clear and consistent, and they were always responsive to our requests and project requirements.

Deliverables were provided on time and aligned well with the timelines we had defined for our SEO campaigns. Their team was proactive in sharing updates, coordinating link placements, and adjusting priorities when needed.

What we appreciated most was their flexibility and reliability. When working on enterprise SEO projects with multiple stakeholders, responsiveness and clear communication are critical, and Above Apex handled this very well. This made the collaboration smooth and allowed our team to focus on strategic SEO execution while they managed the link-building process efficiently.

What was your primary form of communication with Above Apex?

• In-Person Meeting
• Virtual Meeting

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

What impressed us most about Above Apex was their ability to combine scalability with quality. In link building, it is often difficult to maintain strong standards while working across multiple projects, but their team consistently delivered placements on relevant and trustworthy websites.

Another aspect that stood out was their reliability as a long-term partner. They understand the needs of agencies working with enterprise clients and adapt well to different project requirements, timelines, and markets.

Their communication, transparency, and ability to consistently deliver quality backlinks made them a valuable extension of our SEO team. This is especially important when managing multiple international projects simultaneously.

Are there any areas for improvement or something Above Apex could have done differently?

Overall, we were very satisfied with the collaboration and the results delivered by Above Apex. Their team was reliable, responsive, and consistently provided high-quality link placements.

If there is one area that could be further improved, it would be expanding their already strong publisher network even further in certain niche industries. However, this is a natural challenge in link building and did not significantly impact our campaigns.

Overall, the partnership worked very well, and we would happily continue working with them on future SEO projects.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am an SEO specialist in an Online Marketing Agency. We provide digital marketing services for customers across numerous niches globally.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Above Apex, and what were your goals?

We hired Above Apex to assist us in building SEO authority and online presence for a client. We needed someone with a local market knowledge to help us grow our customer's brand.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

We interviewed up to 5 other candidates and Above Apex were the perfect fit. We were looking for a partner who was:

1) ready to work with a high level of control from our side,

2) transparency,

3) readiness to meet deadlines,

4) local market knowledge and ability to deliver at all times. Above Apex was a perfect fit that were not scared of a bit more control than usual from a client :)

Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and campaigns.

Our engagement began with the task sheet and the team was (and still is) just working to deliver monthly milestones from that sheet.

How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

We have an assigned Project Manager that we work with.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?

We were able to grow our SEO visibility almost 3 times and occupy top positions for the main money-generating keywords.

Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.

We are satisfied with communication with Above Apex; we only use text chats, no unnecessary meetings; the team keeps in touch with us almost every day and we discuss things as they go.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

We really appreciate their being honest with us, ability to quickly offer different solutions in case the original plan did not work, and deliver exactly what we need.

Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?

I only wish there were more projects we could do together with them :)

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I'm an associate lawyer in a law firm. We work in the area of civil litigation, included but not limited to: Personal injury, negligence law claims, debtor and creditor remedies, estate litigation, and employment issue.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Above Apex, and what were your goals?

SEO and overall digital marketing. I would say the main goal was to establish a proper Google presence for my website that would start driving, calls, inquiries, and clients to the law firm, specifically for the services we provide and specialize in.

SOLUTION

How did you select Above Apex and what were the deciding factors?

I was referred to them by one of my associates and after a few meetings as well as a really well-prepared game plan by them, I hired them.

Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and campaigns.

They took over all the digital aspects from content marketing to SEO, conversion optimization, link building, website optimization, and even PR.

I was provided with biweekly updates and weekly calls were on the schedule so I could be in the loop of what is happening at any given moment.

I am currently still working with them as they handle all of my digital presence and they have established themselves as a good partner for me and our firm.

How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

From day one I have been communicating with Deyan.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?

We started with a zero presence of my website in Google which didn’t really help make their work easier but at the end of the second month of their work, I was in the second position in Google for one of the main legal services that our firm provided and in the top three for the rest of the targeted keywords.

From zero to a hundred in terms of calls and Inquiries. I get calls every day at this point and they continue to improve my website’s ranking in Google as well as bring new highly targeted traffic which I can see by the ringing of my phone and the emails I get. I would say they were instrumental in the growth and establishing of my law firm online and the ROI is enormous which is a double win for me.

Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timelines.

They’ve been excellent since day one in terms of communication, consistency, and responsiveness. I can always appreciate someone who has a plan and can explain the context of what they’re doing because that is really important for me as a client.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

They take their word very seriously and they are willing to commit big time when it comes to bringing results and achieving the goals they have set. Knowing that when we discuss something and they offer a solution it will be handled properly and with no questions, was something that I was really impressed with.

Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?

From my point of view, No.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

Plastic Surgery Clinic. Position - PR and marketing specialist.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Above Apex?

The main objective for which, we hired Above Apex was to increase MD. Mihail Skerlev’s website’s Google rankings. After that, they were in charge of the improvement of the website from a conversion and user experience standpoint.

What were your goals for this project?

From the start our main goal was to increase the number of calls, inquiries we get from the website as well as the targeted traffic to the website which would lead to new patients and brand awareness for Mr. Skerlev.

SOLUTION

How did you select Above Apex?

Initially, I was approached by Kristiyan(Growth Head) who provided me with a series of really informative and helpful emails that showed me the upside of the work they will execute and the results we can achieve with their help. After a few phone calls, we arranged a meeting between them, me and Mr. Skerlev, and this meeting led to us hiring them.

Describe the scope of their work in detail.

The main aspects covered were the following mainly in this order: Technical Audit Competitors Analysis SEO Link Building Content Marketing Content Creation For The Website Conversion Optimization Of The Main Pages Conversion Increase Tactics, and so on.

Ongoing work and implementation of various tactics. Simultaneously we were receiving regular updates of the work progress, results progress, and any additional information that required us to be aware of.

We continue to work with Above Apex and they manage our general SEO efforts since we still continue to increase our rankings and compete with different websites in our niche.

What was the team composition?

The main person that we were in touch with was Kristiyan and occasionally Deyan who was the SEO Executive and updated us on some more specific and important aspects.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

We have grown the results on every metric measured since Above Apex took over just six months ago, despite the pandemic. Importantly, the agency was able to quickly and effectively work within the time frame we agreed on and build effective campaigns to sustain growth.

We are already in the first position of Google for some of the main procedures. Our traffic has increased by 500% since the start of their work, additionally, we have seen a major increase in Calls and Inqruies from the website.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

The workflow was great. Regular emails and calls from them kept us in the loop at all times. The project was managed through Kris and the team was always accountable and on top of current tasks, they were working on.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

They are very organized, collaborative, and results-driven. They have truly been a great partner when it comes to our online presence, patients growth, and the overall brand growth of Mr. Skerlev

Are there any areas for improvement?

Up to this point, I haven’t seen any aspects that would need any improvement.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I'm the owner of a small cleaning company, based in Wimbledon, London. We provide residential and commercial cleaning services in SW London area.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Above Apex, and what were your goals?

Initially, we hired them to increase our website’s Google rankings. After that, they were in charge of the complete redesign and restructuring of our website as well. We’ve been looking to invest in SEO for a while now and our main goal was to increase our calls, inquiries and targeted traffic to the website which would lead to new clients and growth for the company.

SOLUTION

How did you select Above Apex and what were the deciding factors?

I came across them after some research and additionally, it turned out that I had a friend that is using their services as well.

Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and campaigns.

Above Apex started with an in-depth technical analysis of our website, which was compiled together using various tools and manual work. They noted what could be improved and gave some pretty logical suggestions and alternatives to our current state. That included plenty of aspects like the copy, technical optimization, conversion increase tactics, and so on. Their team then developed a complete roadmap to which we had constant access and which helped us be as involved in the process as possible. They also implemented everything on time, from the copy creation and implementation to the link building and complete restructuring and redesign of the website. Above Apex continues to manage our general SEO efforts in addition to other aspects and ad campaigns. They continue to increase the authority of the website and our traffic.

How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

Our main points of contact throughout the project have been Deyan ( SEO Executive ) and Kris (Growth Head)

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?

They’ve contributed quite a lot to our website since they were in charge of a complete redesign, restructuring, and SEO optimization. The traffic to the website has increased over the past five months enormously, which may be due to our increased Google rankings. Above Apex told us that it will take 5–10 months for the effects of their work to peak but strong results started coming in towards the end of the second month.

Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timelines.

They were extremely professional and easy-going. We had a weekly call once a week in addition to frequent email updates every few days. Overall they are really good people. They form relationships with clients and are extremely transparent about every single aspect of the work.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

For starters, their transparency. I’ve worked with a couple of different agencies, and sometimes we don’t know why they’re doing something, or we’ve questioned whether or not it’s worth the cost. Whereas with Above Apex I see how much they care about the client being more of a partner and really being part of the process. They are upfront about their strengths and weaknesses which ads up to my trust in their work. I really felt that they don’t simply want to sell you a service but really bring value and create a relationship that will last. Like in this case.

Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?

Maybe there should be more focus put on Social Marketing but that would depend on their strengths and weaknesses as an agency. I can definitely say thy are very good in SEO.
