Funnel Boost Media

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m one of the two owners of an insurance brokerage company.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Funnel Boost Media?

We needed help with website marketing, lead generation, PPC, and SEO.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Funnel Boost Media has redesigned our website and built backlinks to increase our SEO rankings. They also provide us with monthly PPC services, where they design the ads and define the keywords. Their work aims to get more people to click on our website so that we can sell our products to them.

What is the team composition?

We've had seven teammates from Funnel Boost Media working on our account. Manuel (Project Manager) has become our primary contact. We've also worked with Alina (Project Manager), an office manager, two partners, and two other employees.

How did you come to work with Funnel Boost Media?

We found them through a Google search. We worked with one of their competitors, the biggest SEO company in Houston. They were good for a while, but we fired them because they messed up the whole website and marketing launch. While we were firing them, we interviewed half a dozen companies and thought Funnel Boost Media would be the best for us.

How much have you invested with them?

We've spent between $120,000–$150,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in October 2023, and the engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

Thanks to Funnel Boost Media, we're selling more than we've ever sold before. For example, we've ever done well with a big insurance company. Year after year, we had been their silver partners, which was already impressive for a company our size. Still, not only are we gold partners now but my sales manager, who is a national account representative and the person who runs three states of sales, is taking me out because they've never had an agency our size sell as much as we have.

Through the collaboration of Funnel Boost Media driving leads and my staff closing those leads, we've produced more than any other agency has produced in 10–20 years. Ultimately, those results translate into bonuses and money. The bonuses I've gotten this year from that insurance company probably pay for 30%–40% of the marketing we spend money on. This year, we're probably going to sell to 50–70 new businesses — we've never done that before.

We had never spent this much money on marketing before. Not counting the sponsored search results, we've increased our positioning to the top 10 results in all areas, as well as the top five in Houston and Dallas. We're getting back on the map, and as a result, we will get more business. Funnel Boost Media has made all that possible for us.

When working with our older company, our rankings just kept dropping because they were charging us for work but didn't actually do it. However, Funnel Boost Media cares about the results, and as a result, we've watched them grow as we've grown.

How did Funnel Boost Media perform from a project management standpoint?

Funnel Boost Media is really collaborative. The account manager and both partners have been very instrumental in building a plan, and whenever we have hiccups, they have a good team with a lot of knowledge that helps us. For example, we were stuck with the issue of our PPC costs being too high. However, Manuel and two or three other teammates have worked on it, and it is much better now.

Moreover, Manuel and his team are really responsive. If we need to talk to them once a week, once a month, or once a day, they're always there to help us. Every marketing project has its challenges, and they never go well on the first try. Still, when we bring them challenges, Funnel Boost Media creates solutions — we can't ask for anything else.

Funnel Boost Media never avoids us; they always get on the phone, are always pleasant, and manage things like clockwork. Additionally, they never mess up our weird marketing schedule. We communicate via email and phone calls.

Are there any employees from the service provider's team that you would like to give a shout-out to in this review?

Overall, Funnel Boost Media is great, and their owners are great, but Manuel is awesome. He cares about our business, which I really appreciate.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Funnel Boost Media works well with our outside technical people. We have to be compliant with HIPAA, and they work well with our HIPAA experts. They deal with them in different time zones, and we've never had any problems.

Moreover, Funnel Boost Media really cares. They're very nice to their employees, and that energy is felt in their office. When companies care about their employees, it translates into those employees caring about the customers. Funnel Boost Media cares about overpaying their people. We also do that, which is why we have a happy company and happy clients.

Jacob (COO) and Ryan (Founder & CEO) have set the tone for how their company operates. As a result, they've attracted good people. Another great thing about them is that they always do what they say they would do.

Are there any areas they could improve?

There's nothing Funnel Boost Media could improve on. Every time we have a problem, they seek a solution to fix it.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Let Funnel Boost Media do everything. Our old marketing company designed our website for $15,000, and it didn't work. Then, Funnel Boost Media redid our website for around $2,000. They do cheap web design work because they know that a good website helps with marketing.

If you go to Funnel Boost Media, let them redesign your website because they know what they're doing. Moreover, listen to their PPC and SEO strategies and don't try to drive the project. If you rely on them, you'll have a great experience. They have a wide swath of energy, so just pay attention.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m a lawyer and the executive director of the San Antonio Criminal Defense Lawyers Association. We’re a nonprofit representing criminal defense lawyers in the San Antonio area.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Funnel Boost Media?

Our previous website company pretty much abandoned us. We wanted to create a website that our members would find useful, where we could track our members and provide resources to them.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Funnel Boost Media has provided web development services. They’ve helped us move everything from our previous website and developed a new website from scratch using Elementor, WordPress, and Bootstrap.

Users can sign up for events, pay for memberships, and log into their accounts to access features not available to the general public.

Additionally, they’ll help us with the maintenance going forward.

What is the team composition?

We work directly with Cory (Project Manager) and another individual on our requests for assistance. When we discussed whether we wanted a redesign, I also learned a bit about the website's history, and I know the owner was involved. Additionally, two more people were above Cory and the other teammate at the time.

How did you come to work with Funnel Boost Media?

Our former executive director created her website with Funnel Boost Media. She called them for assistance when we needed a new website.

How much have you invested with them?

They’ve completed much of the project at no cost to us. I don’t know how much they’ve invested, but it’s certainly been a lot, so we’re thankful.

What is the status of this engagement?

I wasn’t in this role when the engagement started, but the relationship is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

Without that website, we wouldn’t be able to offer almost anything to our members; it helps us with everything. We wouldn’t be able to organize our events, track our membership, or give our lawyers motions and resources as easily. Overall, we couldn’t run without it.

How did Funnel Boost Media perform from a project management standpoint?

Funnel Boost Media does an excellent job troubleshooting. They get into the website and figure out the problems, which is something we’d never be able to do. Then, they promptly come back to us with options or the solution figured out.

I don’t know if they use any project management tools. We’ve built a calendar for the events we’ll hold. We do three big events a year and several smaller events throughout the year. We also do the calendar so we can promote those events effectively.

Other than that, we communicate with them through emails or phone calls.

Are there any employees from the service provider's team that you would like to give a shout-out to in this review?

We’d like to thank Cory and the other team member; we appreciate their help. The specifics are boring, but I can’t say enough good things about them. For example, we needed to update a plug-in, so they figured out the plug-in we needed and purchased it for us the other day. It wasn’t costly, so they just went ahead and bought it, installed it, made it work, and then figured out the solution for a Stripe issue we were having. They’re just awesome.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They’re honest and upfront. Moreover, Funnel Boost Media’s help is huge for us; it would cost our organization a lot of money if we were to go with any other web company that didn’t look out for us.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, I don’t think there’s anything that they can improve on. I don’t have experience making websites for companies; otherwise, my answer would be different.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Don’t think everything is urgent; let them put your project in their queue and get to it when they can. If you have something urgent, don’t go overboard and demand them to do it immediately.

In our case, we just send them our requests. If something is urgent, we try to get their attention and see if they can take care of it immediately. However, our requests aren’t urgent most of the time, so we just send them off, and they put us in the queue.

FBM was hired to complete SEO for my website. The scope of their work included creating content for website pages(which they stole), researching and selecting appropriate keywords(my site has not ranked for a single keyword), implementing backlinks(all backlinks are from irrelevant, low authority, no traffic domains)

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

• This is to provide full transparency for any and all future FBM clients.
• I highly suggest that before hiring Funnel Boost Media, you research what "Black Hat" SEO tactics are, their implications, and consequences. Then, make a decision if you are okay with paying a company to utilize such services.
• I hired FBM late last year, and it has been nothing short of a nightmare.
• FBM stole content from a competitor's website and delivered it to me as their own work. Upon discovering this, I requested a refund, but they were unwilling to oblige.
• FBM implemented backlinks to my website that are low quality, low authority, and have no domain traffic. This directly violates our contract.
• These backlinks are representative of the types found in "Black Hat" SEO tactics, coming from low authority, "fake" websites with strange URLs filled with spam content and posts. Some examples include:
• https://babelite.com/
• https://hasstrollcrashedyet.com/
• https://bhajanasampradaya.com/
• https://tds-esport.com/
• One SEO company told me, "The quality of links is very poor and is coming from sites that receive no traffic but also have very low domain ratings."
• My website has zero keyword rankings.
• My website has had zero organic traffic throughout our partnership.
• I hired two separate SEO companies to conduct a full audit of my domain, and they concluded that no real SEO work had been done and urged me to request a refund. "It is evident that no substantial search engine optimization (SEO) efforts have been implemented to enhance its rankings on Google."

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

Despite relaying all my findings and providing evidence to support my claims, FBM was unwilling to offer a refund, despite failing to deliver the work and services outlined in our SEO Contract Agreement. I highly suggest you take into account all that I have said and research "Black Hat" SEO tactics. Decide for yourself if you are okay with paying a company to conduct these immoral practices that go against Google Guidelines.

Funnel Boost has provided NFS with SEO services and web design purposes for the past five months. In this time, they have grown our online presence and made us more visible online on a couple different search engines (Google and Bing). They have solicited keywords and backlinks that have helped us grow our online authority and it has been proven to be successful thus far.

A lot of our website links were not ranking in the first 100 results on google for anything but our business name, but Funnel Boost's SEO and content marketing services have helped us grow our rankings for multiple relevant keyword searches, and they continue to do so.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

They have grown our rankings on Google and Bing for multiple keyword searches that are relevant to our services. They have also grown our online authority for Google significantly since they started working for us. They have brought more traffic to our website by being able to do all of this.

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

Project management is excellent!!! Their reps always make sure to schedule out meetings to make sure our goals are all on target. They are always open to call and talk whenever needed. They are sure to have good results on time and are never late for any meetings. They always respond promptly to emails and calls. They have an impressive amount of patience when doing all of this.
