BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the owner of a photography equipment rental company.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Digital Guider?

We needed help with SEO work.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Digital Guider was supposed to do some SEO to get us to the front page of Google. Also, they were going to provide social media creation, posting once a week for us.

What is the team composition?

We worked with three people.

How did you come to work with Digital Guider?

They called me.

How much have you invested with them?

We spent $1,500 CAD (approximately $1,000 USD).

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked together from December 2021–February 2022.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

How did your relationship with the vendor evolve?

The main contact reached out to us, and once we hired them, he put us in contact with a project manager. Halfway through the first month, we had to repeat ourselves to them, but they didn’t adjust the scope. We fired the first project manager because he wasn’t listening to what we said. He was doing his own thing and arguing with us. The second project manager did a similar thing; they just kept doing the same things over and over.

How did Digital Guider address the challenges that arose?

They said they’d fix it, but they didn’t. We had to repeat ourselves repeatedly.

Describe the impact this engagement has had on your business.

They got us ranking on Google, but we haven’t converted any sales. They suggested we’d get more clients if we ranked, but nothing has come to fruition.

How was project management handled?

It was horrible.

Is there anything that the vendor did well or that you would consider a strength?

Other than giving us reports at the end of the month, I wouldn’t say that they did anything well. They never created any content nor posted on the social media accounts that we provided.

In what specific areas can they improve?

They need to work on their communication and listening skills.

What advice do you have for clients with similar needs to yours?

I wouldn’t recommend going with them. Make sure that the vendor is close by, not in another country.

Monthly performance reports were shared with me and they have changed their strategy time to time to get more outcome.

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

There were a hierarchy of the resources on the side of the vendor where I always interacted with the project managers and salesperson regarding the project discussion and they pass on my requirements to their internal SEO team who actually did the amazing work for my business and never disappointed me as he always delivered work reports on time and I were also able to track the results.
