BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the COO of a home appliance store.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with dNOVO GROUP?

We needed help with online marketing to get more exposure online.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

We own a couple of other businesses as well and we’ve done online marketing with those so I was familiar with SEO and other tactics. We were opening a new division and domain and they helped us. They provided a turn-key solution for us so I could email them with page or product update requests or new target keywords and they executed.

In terms of tangible techniques, they manage our Google Ads, web development, SEO, and to a certain extent, marketing that isn’t online.

What is the team composition?

From a high-level standpoint on strategy, I worked with the owner, Shamil. We meet once a month. Otherwise, they had dedicated teams with an overall manager, Sadaf. She handles anything related to the frontend of the website.

They’ve done a pretty good job in a short time. It gets difficult to do social media marketing and paid ads as a business owner but they handled everything with their turn-key solution. They’ve been great for our lead generation and website rankings.

How did dNOVO GROUP perform from a project management standpoint?

I’m not your typical business owner. We used to do all this in-house and I would lead it, so I’m more technical than the normal owner. I’m very much involved in the management side and they do well. We come up with a plan and execute it.

We don’t use any special tools or platforms. Either we meet in-person or communicate over our group chat, looping in the appropriate resources whenever we need them. I haven’t had any issues with project management. They take care of whatever the goals or milestones are.

From a planning standpoint, we sit down with whoever we need and lay out everything that needs to get done. They’re pretty fast with a lot of things, including content creations and implementing minor updates to the site.

What did you find most impressive about them?

I’ve been involved in online marketing for ten years and I’ve seen a lot of companies who claim to understand Google Ads but most of them are average, and you can’t be average if you’re trying to keep up with the thousands of changes being made on a yearly basis. dNOVO group is pretty sharp and will get you up there in rankings.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, I can’t think of anything.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Stuff like this takes time. Your patience will pay off.

DNOVO provided full-service SEO support for our law firm, helping us improve our online visibility in a highly competitive legal market. Their deliverables focused on improving rankings for important practice-area keywords, increasing organic traffic, and generating more high-quality leads through search.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

If you know what you are doing, then you know that SEO is inherently a long-term investment and although our work with DNOVO is still very much a work in progress, we have already seen measurable signs of progress.  For us, the real success so far has been seeing consistent forward movement rather than stagnant “maintenance mode.”

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

The communication has been second to none. 

What was your primary form of communication with dNOVO - Digital Marketing & SEO Agency?

• In-Person Meeting
• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

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

First, I chose DNOVO after not only working with several other SEO agencies over the years, but owning an ecommerce website for a few years and having an SEO expert on salary in-house and working with him day to day. 
So I would say that I have a bit more understanding than most lawyers - and I can confidently say that most agencies I know and have seen take a “set it and forget it” approach—plugging clients into a standardized system, sending BS generic reports, and provide little real strategy that is tailored to your website's needs, or take accountability. 
What was most impressive about DNOVO is the willingness to be hands-on yet not over-promise, tailor their approach with what we needed, focus on change and growth and not plow us with meaningless backlinks and BS reports, and communicate extremely effectively and quickly. 

Are there any areas for improvement or something dNOVO - Digital Marketing & SEO Agency could have done differently?

No
