The first thing they did was go through our website page by page and point out where potential customers were probably getting lost. From there we focused on improving the pages that mattered most, updating search campaigns, and making it easier for people to understand exactly what we offer without having to dig through the site. There wasn't one big milestone. It was more about making steady improvements every month.

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

dNovo team started by reviewing what we already had instead of trying to change everything. We spent time improving a handful of important pages, updating our search campaigns, and fixing things that had simply been left untouched for too long. It wasn't a flashy project. Just steady work that kept moving in the right direction.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Inbound inquiries increased by around 28%, and a much larger share of them turned into real sales conversations. We also saw our paid campaigns become more efficient, with the average cost per lead dropping by about 20% compared to where we started. The biggest win, though, was that the companies contacting us were much closer to our ideal client profile.

Nothing that really stands out. Overall, the project went pretty much the way we expected.

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

The initial scope of work was to reduce lead cost and improve rankings. Dnovo started with a deep dive and found website performance issues. Before beginging advertising, they focused on completed rebuilding the website and embedding new pages for SEO optimization. The website google performance score was 45 and is now 100 after the new website/site map etc are live. During the time they built the website, they verified 3 additional google maps listings, completed review management, improved maps rankings with 1 location already ranking 1-3 in focus keywords. Recently they started ppc, with a very dense focus of ranking 1-3 in ppc, organic and maps which is drastically reducing lead cost (compared to previous methods of casting a wide net and ocassionally ranking #1 in ppc but nowhere else). They also assisted in compiling quality backlinks/articles with high DA sites for our LLM rankings. We now rank #1-3 in chatgpt when asked about home renovation contractors in Hamilton. Quality team, very organized and attentive to detail.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Google performance score from 45 to 100

Quote me page load time from 4.50s to 1.40s

Lead cost reduced 25%

Lead quality improved (harder to measure but sales team confirmed)

LLM rankings non-existent to now #1 to 3 for hamilton renovation contractor keyword

1 verified map listing to 4 verified listings

maps ranking non-existent to #2 and 3

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

Consistently deliver on time. Organization is fantastic. Its difficult to find a company that's able to manage marketing and sales in a way they do. They take care of web dev, seo, sem, llm rankings and much more without losing quality or service. 

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

Email or Messaging App

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

When changes are made, the change typically affects 3-4 different areas. They're so well coordinated that changes are seen from A to Z, so they're properly implemented.

Another very impressive point was their complete understanding of SEO/SEM business. I havent met another company before that has this in-depth understanding. Others are very specialized and when they claim to do it all, its subcontracted out and you notice the difference in service and quality. Dnovo didnt do that. They truly get it. 

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

None.

dNovo reviewed our website, search performance, and existing marketing efforts before putting together a plan. They updated several service pages, improved our search visibility, managed Google Ads, and helped us better organize the way our services were presented online. They also suggested changes that made it easier for visitors to understand what we do and when to contact us.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The quality of inquiries improved more than the volume, which was exactly what we were hoping for. Instead of receiving a mix of unrelated requests, we started hearing from organizations that were genuinely looking for the types of consulting services we provide. We also noticed that conversations coming through the website were much further along in the decision-making process. That made our business development efforts much more productive.

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

Reporting became more useful over time, but I think having a little more context in the first month would have helped us understand the numbers more quickly.

They worked on our Google Ads campaigns, SEO, local rankings, and some website updates tied to conversions. Part of the work was fixing older campaigns that weren’t performing well. They also updated service pages and helped improve visibility for searches connected to our main markets.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The biggest difference was simply getting more relevant inquiries on a regular basis. Before, some weeks were completely quiet online. That changed after a few months. Paid campaigns also became less expensive to manage compared to what we were seeing before. We also started showing up much more consistently in local search results.

dNovo worked on improving our visibility for cleaning-related searches in our service areas. They updated our Google Business Profile, improved service pages, cleaned up our Google Ads campaigns, and helped us separate different services. They also made recommendations for landing pages so people could request a quote faster.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We started getting 35% more quote requests from people looking for specific cleaning services, not just general inquiries. Move-out cleaning and recurring cleaning became much stronger lead sources for us. Calls from Google also became more consistent, especially in the areas where dNovo focused the local SEO work. Our paid ads stopped bringing in as many irrelevant clicks, and the leads we received were easier for our team to convert into bookings.

The first part of the project was mostly cleanup and analysis. dNovo reviewed our existing search traffic, content structure, ad campaigns, and technical SEO issues. After that, they helped restructure parts of our content strategy around higher-intent topics and evergreen search traffic. They also updated several paid campaigns and fixed tracking issues that had been giving us unreliable reporting data. A big part of the engagement became improving how our content appears in newer AI-generated search experiences and recommendation-based search results, especially for informational searches tied to our niche.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Traffic became much more stable compared to what we were seeing before. Some of our older content also started ranking again, which brought in more consistent search traffic over time. We also noticed that paid campaigns were performing more efficiently after they reworked the targeting and tracking setup. Overall, the traffic we were getting felt more valuable and less random than before.

dNovo took over both our Google Ads account and SEO efforts after we stopped working with another agency. They cleaned up a lot of campaign issues first: keyword targeting, location settings, ad structure, conversion tracking, things like that. After that, they worked on improving our local rankings, updating service pages, and helping us build better landing pages for paid traffic. One thing I liked is that they didn’t immediately try to push more ad spend. They focused first on fixing what wasn’t working. Over time, they also started helping us optimize content for newer AI-based search experiences, which honestly wasn’t something we had even considered before.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

After about 3-4 months, we started seeing a noticeable increase in consultation requests coming through the website and phone calls from Google search. Our cost per lead dropped by around 31%, while booked consultations increased roughly 36% compared to the period before dNovo took over. Organic traffic also improved by a little over 40%, mostly from local searches tied to our core treatments. We also saw stronger Google Maps visibility, which made a big difference for local patient inquiries. Probably the biggest improvement was lead quality. We were getting fewer irrelevant inquiries and more actual patients ready to book consultations.

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

Communication was straightforward and easy. They responded quickly, explained changes clearly, and usually handled requests faster than expected. We had regular check-ins, but it never felt overly formal or complicated. Their team was organized without making the process feel corporate.

There was a lot of information in the beginning stages, but once everything was set up, the process became very smooth.
