Funnel Boost Media

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I own a tree service company. We focus mainly on removals, but we also provide trimming, pruning, stump grinding, and cabling services.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

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

We needed help with our digital marketing.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Funnel Boost Media helps me with my Google My Business page, making some changes and implementing SEO strategies to improve our visibility. I had two Google My Business pages, but they merged them into one and connected it to my website.

Throughout our engagement, they’ve asked me some questions, but they do most of the work themselves. Later, I might hire them for some website work, but that’s not on our current plans.

What is the team composition?

I mainly work with Jacob (COO) and Cory (Project Manager).

How did you come to work with Funnel Boost Media?

I found them on Google.

How much have you invested with them?

I’ve spent about $1,500.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together around January 2022, and our engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Thanks to Funnel Boost Media’s involvement, I’ve achieved what I wanted to achieve. Now, I receive more than double the calls I received before our engagement. Additionally, I now have a higher conversion rate.

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

Funnel Boost Media performs exceptionally; I didn’t expect them to work as fast as they do. We communicate via phone calls.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Working with Funnel Boost Media has really paid out so far. I worked with other SEO companies and used lead generation sites, but the clientele I got from there ended up being so unfit for me that I was losing money. Since I decided to invest more with Funnel Boost Media, I’ve been impressed with the results.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No. What they’re doing is working great.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Know what you’re trying to achieve before engaging with them.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I am the owner of The Vargas Law Firm. We focus on immigration work, which involves cases of deportation, bonds, and naturalization.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

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

I hired Funnel Boost Media to build a webpage for my law firm.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Funnel Boost Media designed and published a webpage that potential clients could view to easily find information about the firm. The page contains my past experiences in the field as well as the services we offer.

What is the team composition?

I first spoke with Funnel Boost Media’s owner, who explained their offer and processes. Cory (Project Manager) took over from there and created my website.

How did you come to work with Funnel Boost Media?

I did a Google search for website developers, and they popped up. They had good customer reviews, so I decided to work with them.

How much have you invested with them?

I’ve spent about $1,800.

What is the status of this engagement?

I hired them in December 2019. Our engagement is ongoing because I recently asked them to recover my website after I lost it with the hosting company I was using. 

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

When I visited their office, they introduced themselves professionally, were very quick to make appointments, and were open to providing any clarifications. They were also very nice and quick to redo my website when I lost it. All the staff at Funnel Boost Media are very generous, welcoming, and easy to work with. 

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

They're fantastic, thorough, easy-going, and humble. After initially explaining his goal, Cory has pretty much taken care of my needs.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They are a very close-knit team, which means that I don’t need to deal with different people every time. I appreciate this structure as opposed to that of a bigger company, where they would rotate employees to interface with the client. It really makes Funnel Boost Media stand out.  

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, I don’t see anything they can improve. I’m very thankful for their group.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Especially if you are a business owner, you need to weigh the pros and cons of working with a certain company. Funnel Boost Media is a great partner, and they will provide the services necessary to help you with your business.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the founder and content director of Radically Rational Media LLC, a multiplatform information and entertainment media company that is engaged in blogs, daily videos, podcasts, and more.  

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

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

The launching pad for our entire project would be a world-class website. Although we were media insiders, we were not website experts. We were trying to enhance our reach, and we needed help developing a website. 

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

We gave Funnel Boost a very detailed description of what we were trying to accomplish. Since we have vast experience in American media, we know what we want. From there, Funnel Boost has started developing our website from scratch.

What is the team composition?

We’ve worked with Jacob (COO), Cory (Project Manager), and another teammate.

How did you come to work with Funnel Boost Media?

I got online and checked a list of San Antonio-based website developers. I read reviews and approaches that we could take. The first company I called based on my research was Funnel Boost. 

I intended to call six other agencies, but Funnel Boost immediately set me up to meet Jacob and Cory. After our call, I knew there was no need to call anybody else — I found the right partner. Ultimately, we chose to work with them because they were smart, like us.  

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent about $8,000–$9,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in June 2021, and it’s ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Our website has received positive feedback from site viewers — Funnel Boost has delivered a good-looking website. They presented our platform’s content in the most compelling way possible that’s consistent with our theme and brand. Funnel Boost is very proactive about developing and presenting ideas. 

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

Funnel Boost’s project management is one of the smoothest things I’ve ever seen. They deliver on time, and they know what they’re doing.

We’ve met in person at their office, and we’ve also communicated through phone and email. It’s important for me that we’ve got to know each other, and we’ve done that right away. Additionally, I can tell that there’s real unity and cohesiveness in their company. Jacob has done an excellent job assembling a team that reflects his ideas.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Funnel Boost’s attentiveness is impressive. They are notably professional, and they’re excellent listeners — they understand our ideas. They’ve taken the time to know us and comprehend our company’s vision and goals. Their designs have reflected our company’s aspirations — it’s reassuring because they’re actually listening. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

I can’t think of anything. My expectations for the project have been high, but they’ve exceeded them. 

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Pick up the phone and schedule an appointment with Funnel Boost. Get your stuff together, and make sure you know what you want. Communicate your goals to their team, and know that you’ve made a good choice working with Funnel Boost. 

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the owner of a roofing company.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

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

We wanted to have a professional website that would give people a reason to do business with us.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

When we started working with Funnel Boost, they gave me a template for the site’s initial design. However, I didn’t like it, so I started talking to them to describe what I liked and disliked. There was a bit of back and forth between us until I had what I wanted. 

In terms of features and functionality, we wanted the website to convey a good image for the company. They designed our logo and created our services page. They built the website on WordPress.

At present, the website is already launched, and we continue working on it. 

What is the team composition?

We work with Cory (Project Manager & Frontend Developer), who’s our main point of contact. 

How did you come to work with Funnel Boost Media?

I looked online for development companies and called a few of them. Those companies had high prices, so when I called Funnel Boost, we worked out a price that was good for me. They also had good reviews, and they came up in the first page of Google search results. Those were the reasons I chose them. 

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve invested around $5,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with them in January 2019, and the engagement is ongoing. 

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We get plenty of compliments from users, who say that the website looks great and they like it. In fact, they describe it as one of the best roofing companies they’ve seen. The designs we’ve worked on together look great. In the end, the project has turned out good; other roofing companies use my website as a good example because of its design. 

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

Funnel Boost’s communication is good. In terms of deadlines, they take a bit too long to deliver. However, that might either be because I’m an impatient person or this process takes time to finish. Either way, they’re a great team. In fact, if I’m going to invest my money on a website all over again — if I’m looking for a professional team that I can trust to do a good job — I’ll definitely hire Funnel Boost again. To communicate, we typically use emails and text messages. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

They’re responsive and patient especially with me; I’m a highly particular person with how I want things done. For instance, I don’t let any marketing or web development company dictate how my website is going to be done. With that in mind, Funnel Boost is highly patient in giving me what I want. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

They should have someone who can proofread everything before going live. For context, they’ve put content that has grammatical errors. When I proofread it, I find that the content doesn’t make sense. It’s not my job to correct such mistakes, but I do it because they can’t seem to fix these things even after three times of corrections. Simply put, they should be more knowledgeable in terms of grammar. 

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Have a clear idea of what you want, and explore other websites to get ideas, designs, and content. Put everything together and condense it in one idea, and then give it to Funnel Boost. That way, they can come up with the best website possible. They’re going to do a good job, but it’s going to be their way unless you propose how you want to do it.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m an executive assistant at Anchor Bend.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

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

We originally hired Funnel Boost for click-funnel marketing. Eventually, we also used their web design services for our website. 

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

In the beginning, we had a consultation call with Jacob (COO). After that, we had other touch-and-go calls to nail down the specifics of our project. Then, I was handed over to Cory (Project Manager). After a series of back-and-forth meetings, the team presented a fully fleshed-out idea for the project. 

At present, we’re doing a website development project. We’ve only provided them with the cover of the book that the website is based on; they’re creating everything from there. Going forward, we’ll be working on the marketing side of the project. 

What is the team composition?

I mainly work with Jacob and Cory. A team of people works behind the scenes. 

How did you come to work with Funnel Boost Media?

Funnel Boost was referred to me. 

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve invested around $2,500 for the website. 

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in August 2021, and the partnership is ongoing. 

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Our success metrics are based on their accessibility and turnaround times for revisions. Funnel Boost responds to us quickly; if we send them a message via email or text, they get back to us within 1–2 hours. I’ve also had to make a quick phone call to them a couple of times before, and they’ve answered pretty much right away. 

We also check the number of revisions we can make with them. Based on our experience, other companies tend to be — for lack of a better word — lazy after 3–4 revisions. By that time, they aren’t as accommodating as they’ve been in the beginning. Luckily, Funnel Boost doesn’t use that kind of approach; they do whatever we want within a reasonable amount of time.

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

Their project management has been good. Our communication has been through emails and text messages.

What did you find most impressive about them?

The Funnel Boost team is a master of customer service. Even though we’re not familiar with them, they’ve been able to present themselves clearly. Jacob has articulated well what they do and what they don’t do. He’s also willing to refer us to other people if they can’t do a certain task. In other words, they’re not selfish — we appreciate that.

On top of that, their accessibility and willingness to make their customers happy are highly valuable. Because of that, we’ve referred them to a couple of other businesses. In fact, I've personally referred them to other people in my network. Overall, it’s extremely refreshing to be working with them.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, there aren’t any.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Have as much clarity as possible on what you want to accomplish. That way, Funnel Boost can help you better. If you don’t do that, you’ll be volleying back and forth in a guessing game. Moreover, don’t be afraid to ask questions; they’re experts, so they’re more than willing to answer any questions you have.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

Owner of a real estate company that does flat fee MLS listings. We charge a flat fee to do listings for homes that are syndicated on the MLS, Trulia, and Zillow

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Funnel Boost Media, and what were your goals?

We hired Funnel Boost Media to do website redesign and CRM integration to our existing website. We also used them to help us create and maintain a sophisticated phone system for our company & SEO

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

We had a relationship with this vendor for another company.

Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and campaigns.

Our implementation began by speaking with the owners, Ryan & Jacob. They assisted us in choosing a CRM, phone system, and website format that would be applicable to our business.

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

We worked with the development team & marketing team

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?

We have since seen a huge boom in traffic with the SEO service and continue seeing results from that campaign. Also - our process management for handling existing business has been greatly improved.

Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.

Organized and efficient. We love all the tools they use to manage business.

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

Time management and expertise with third party software. They were experts at streamlining our business.

Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?

No not that I can recall.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am a partner in a company that does wedding photography, planning, & live action painting. We are located in San Antonio, Texas.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Funnel Boost Media, and what were your goals?

We hired Funnel Boost Media to assist us in getting more leads in our local area. We hired them to assist us and do analysis on our website to maximize our SEO presence and attract more traffic to the website. Our goal was to double our traffic and rank for more searches related to our industry.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

This vendor was used in a project for a non profit that I am on the board of directors for. Funnel Boost Media did a fantastic job on the website for that company and we decided to try out their SEO services. Their prices are certainly not the cheapest but they are a fantastic value for the price. Also - Jacob and Cory make themselves very available and we didn't feel like just another number.

Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and campaigns.

SEO began with a baseline analysis of our website and the "foundation" building phase. They have names for everything and took a lot of time to make sure that we fully understood their services and what Local SEO actually meant prior to everything.

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

I primarily worked with Ryan, Jacob, and Cory, but I know those are just the main people that communicate with Clients.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?

We rank in the first position for multiple keywords directly related to our services. We have only been at it a few months but the results of the SEO campaign are palpable.

Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.

Very, Very, Very organized. They have timelines and "no later than" dates for everything.

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

Their level of professionalism. One of the owners is a military Veteran and you can feel that in the roots of the company. The team is well organized, professional, and both owners make sure they are leading from the front. I know multiple people who are veterans that I have referred and FBM has done work for free for them. They take great pride in that and in their dealings with the Veteran Community. Many of our clients are military Veterans so it was an easy choice.

Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?

I do not believe so.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the CEO of Little Songbirds, a Texas-based birdseed blend provider.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

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

We needed their team’s expertise in website development and marketing.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

We initially tasked Funnel Boost Media with developing our e-commerce site from scratch. We relayed our design and functionality needs through a discovery meeting, and their team proceeded with the implementation stage.

Upon completing our website, we’ve decided to hire Funnel Boost Media as our marketing partner. They’ve created our logo and generated ads that aim to augment our online presence.

What is the team composition?

We work with their CEO, developer, graphic designer, and head of marketing.

How did you come to work with Funnel Boost Media?

I found them on Google while searching for local agencies to hire for this project. While I reached out to other nearby providers, I chose Funnel Boost Media because their team showed persistence and great interest in our product.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent under $5,000 so far.

What is the status of this engagement?

We kicked off our ongoing engagement with Funnel Boost Media in June 2021.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We’ve only recently launched our website, so there are no quantitative metrics to share yet. However, I can confirm that Funnel Boost Media has done their part in creating a platform that resonates with our vision and services. 

We haven’t given them all the information they need to complete the web pages, but they've managed to make the most of what they’ve received from us. Overall, they’re a reliable team that delivers the results we need within quick turnaround times.

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

We communicate via email and phone calls. Funnel Boost Media is an accommodating partner — they respond to our requests and inquiries in less than 24 hours and submit their deliverables on time. We never find the need to chase them for anything.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Funnel Boost Media cares about their craft and our business — that’s well reflected in the results they deliver. They are always willing to provide us with quality services at a fair price, and they adhere to our contract at all times. We’re pleased to be working with a transparent and thoughtful partner.

Are there any areas they could improve?

We’ve once ran into a minor billing problem, but their team has quickly addressed that and worked on refining their billing system to avoid similar occurrences in the future.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Conceptualize the structure of your website ahead of time — this is very important in any development project. Any partner will want to know about your preferences in design and functionality, so you have to be prepared to outline what you want. Additionally, these requirements also help them formulate the initial project cost.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the owner of Mperial Consultants, and I’m a marketing consultant for different medical facilities.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

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

Digital marketing wasn’t my expertise. We needed a professional in that field to revamp, redesign, and strategize in digital marketing, including SEO, PPC, and web design.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

We usually use Funnel Boost for SEO and PPC services. They do background research on the business or client, and then they discuss with us what’s the best route to take. Once we’ve discussed things, we start our campaign.

Since it’s a long-term game, the results don’t show overnight. When we see results, we can start manipulating the budget or moving it to other areas for strategic goals. We’ve brought in Funnel Boost to work with three clients so far, and we’ve pretty much implemented the same process.

They’ve also done web design for us. We’ve given them a brand guide with colors, logos, and fonts, and they’ve scooped and scored. Funnel Boost knows the best WordPress practices and how to make everything run smoothly and look modern.

On SEO, they do their own research. We can provide information about the customer and what we are targeting, but they handle it all independently.

What is the team composition?

We have 5–6 people on our team. First, we have contact with one of the owners. He talks to clients for financial boost and makes all the contractual sales. The other owner is the mastermind behind the SEO, but he also has his team underneath him.

Overall, we work with web development, business development, a PPC manager, and the two owners. If we need something, we know who’s in charge of what, so it’s easy to reach out to them.

How did you come to work with Funnel Boost Media?

We were using a national company that was doing a poor job, so I took it upon myself to research SEO digital marketing groups in San Antonio. I had a few results, but I ended up with Funnel Boost. Their website looked interesting and was super clean. It drew me in, so I reached out to them.

They called me almost immediately and talked to me about what they could do. I went forward with them because they were the only company that actually took time on the phone to understand what we were looking for. They had a personal approach, and our relationship has been nothing but uphill from there.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent about $12,000 a month for the past two years. Some of that’s budgeted for ad spend, but that’s the overall budget that we work with Funnel Boost.

What is the status of this engagement?

We began working together in June 2019, and our partnership is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Before we started using Funnel Boost, we were averaging 250 low-authority backlinks. Now, we’re more diverse with our backlinks — we have some high, middle, and low-authority. Moreover, they help us with organic growth. We went from maybe 2,000 to 10,000 views on the website per month. We’ve also decreased our PPC spend from $9,000 to $3,000 in just one year.

Additionally, they’ve worked efficiently and quickly to get things done as we need them. Not only do they bring us clients, but they also help us to be a shepherd over the herd. When clients come in with any request or issue, we have Funnel Boost on the phone to help us get rid of that, block some things off, or redirect them. In turn, customers have less emotional distress, which helps us with branding and community relationship.

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

They’re on their toes and ready to work. Whenever we ask them to do something, they get to it right away. One time, the reports didn’t appear as they should’ve, so I emailed them and immediately got a response. They were ready within five minutes.

Also, it’s very easy to work with their team. They’re personable people, and they answer our questions. In fact, their communication is one of the things I like the most about working with Funnel Boost. It goes all around from them to us, and we go back and forth through email, phone calls, and so on.

What did you find most impressive about them?

It’s the curated experience. Nobody wants to feel like a number, and Funnel Boost doesn’t make us feel that way. We’re a special client to them.

Are there any areas they could improve?

We haven’t run into any issues so far.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

If you don’t know about digital marketing, I would recommend asking each company you’re interviewing about it to see if they tell you the truth. Don’t fall for companies that tell you they can increase your revenue.

Funnel Boost was honest, and they taught us that with SEO, we weren’t going to see results appear like magic. It takes time, and not everything is sure because you’re constantly competing over keywords and other things. Digital marketing is a constant battle, and if you’re ready to go to war, Funnel Boost is the one.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m a board member at a charity foundation to help prevent childhood drowning.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

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

We needed help building our website and logo.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Funnel Boost Media revamped our logo and turned it into a bunch of different designs. They also created a completely new website for us.

In the first phase, we met in person. Jacob (COO) walked us through different ways we could get traffic to our site. He was very open and honest about all of the different aspects of digital marketing and what we’d need to do after. It helped us figure out how to best use the website.

From there, our board voted to move forward. We have one person on staff that works closely with their graphic design team.

What is the team composition?

We worked with Jacob, Ryan (Founder & CEO), and one other person.

How did you come to work with Funnel Boost Media?

I know Jacob personally. We decided to work with them because they have the best websites in San Antonio. They have the best reviews. We had multiple quotes from other firms in the area. Funnel Boost Media gave us a really good price compared to the other options.

How much have you invested with them?

We spent $5,000 on the website.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in January 2021, and our work is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Our website hasn’t gone live yet but the quality is 100 times better than our last site. The team was able to break apart our logo and use it in the site design. The colors are more cohesive and it's more user-friendly. The quality is beautiful, and they did a really good job.

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

The team does extremely well. They’re extremely available and organized throughout the process. We didn’t have to repeat anything. The team took in and understood every piece of information we provided them. Overall, it was a very easy project. Within minutes, I can get an answer via email, text message, or phone call. They were extraordinarily responsive.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Their price is low because they do everything in-house. They run everything out of an office in San Antonio. They’re able to deliver $15,000 websites for $5,000 because everyone is in one spot.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, the entire board was really impressed with their attentiveness and the overall result. They really cared about the project. The team also gave us a lot of really great ideas on how to grow and view our online presence in the future.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Don’t work with anyone else; Funnel Boost Media is the best option out there.
