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

Ethos Ink helped us move our website domain seamlessly. They helped keep our search visibility and all reviews. They improved our local SEO and cleaned up a lot of old links, redirects and search console setup. A large portion was making sure our new information continued on the traction we had developed and surged past that. They helped us with our google business page, our main site, apple maps, bing and yelp.

This was more than just SEO and site migration. There was a lot of content updating, local search cleanup, backlinks, and analytics to help us. They were excellent communicators and very detail oriented. After the job, they also maintained contact to ensure everything was still running smoothly, even helping with our later Google verifications.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

In under 2 weeks, our organic searches increased by half through better links and crawl budget. We had no loss in SEO equity. Our phones and messages saw a significant increase and our visibility skyrocketed. Our website moves cleaner and our site is showing our SEO percentages have increased significantly.

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

Ethos Ink was on top of everything. I was in contact with the project manager James on a daily basis. They were patient, communicative, and really showed us that they truly cared about our success. They exceeded every expectation, we had no idea about so many things we had that could be improved upon and they nailed it at every turn.

What was your primary form of communication with Ethos Ink?

Virtual Meeting

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

James with Ethos Ink is a technical master. But the thing that hooked us was their culture of truly caring about our company.

I would recommend them to anyone.

I genuinely give them a flawless ranking for this service.
