BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.
I’m the owner of a tutoring business for children for the Seven Plus process. This is what children in England take to get an assessment in different schools. I run our tutoring website and teach classes online. 

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with GenieCrawl?
I hired GenieCrawl to build a website. My goal was to gain more leads and a better online presence. A lot of my business was done through word of mouth, but I wanted to be found on the internet, too. 

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?
GenieCrawl has helped me design and develop my website and pick its name. They’ve also written content and optimized it. They handle the technical aspects of the website and simply ask me what I want the content to be.
 
One of the biggest features of the website is the contact page. Users can get in touch with me through it by filling out their name, email, and message. The other sections explain what the Seven Plus process is. There’s a location page for the schools around London, and GenieCrawl worked on improving its SEO. They also host my website and provide maintenance services.
What is the team composition?
I mainly work with Tony (Salesperson).
How did you come to work with GenieCrawl?
I found GenieCrawl through Google. Initially, I emailed six companies, but only three replied — GenieCrawl was one of them. They weren’t the cheapest nor the most expensive, but I liked the way they walked me through their proposal in detail when I spoke to them over the phone.
How much have you invested with them?
I’ve invested around £5,000–£20,000 (approximately $6,000–$25,000 USD), covering the website development, CMS, and their SEO services.
What is the status of this engagement?
The engagement started in September 2022, and they completed the website three months after that. 

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
My website is ranking on the first page of Google, and I’m getting more inquiries from parents online about my services and the Seven Plus process. This opens me up for more business than when I was doing only in-person sessions. The website has allowed me to do classes seven days per week, so my investment in GenieCrawl has been worth it.
How did GenieCrawl perform from a project management standpoint?
Most of my communication with Tony is either through email or Zoom calls. He never misses meetings, and I’ve always been impressed with GenieCrawl’s work and how they always do things on time.
What did you find most impressive about them?
I’m impressed with how they manage the project and turn it around. On top of that, I love their creativity. The articles they write and the content they’ve created for my website are creative, and I can tell that everything’s written by a person and not by ChatGPT. Moreover, Tony is passionate about what he does, and he knows his stuff — he’s truly proactive.
Are there any areas they could improve?
No, there aren’t any. I haven’t had any issues with GenieCrawl.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
If you’re looking for a genuine and creative service, give GenieCrawl a go. 

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am a writer and have been writing since 1996, my first novels The Taint Gallery, Watyerwitch and Switch were published by Minerva and Millennium. In 2002, I moved to online selling of my books. I produce the books and sell on Amazon and Lulu as well as at book fairs.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire GenieCrawl, and what were your goals?

I was referred to GenieCrawl from a friend and they designed the website which you can see at: https://www.michaelfitzalanbooks.com I wanted the website to reflect the diversity and breath of my books and the length of my writing career. The company started from scratch with only a few photos and a list of my novels. They built up a beautiful website and encouraged me to write regular blogs to maintain interest. I only dealt with Tony Andrews via email and telephone but if the others in the company are so efficient and professional, I have no hesitation in recommending this amazing company.

SOLUTION

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

The company and Tony came highly recommended and they could compete the work in a reasonable amount of time, much faster than I could at a reasonable price. I tried several other companies obviously, getting quotes and lead times and this one won hands down.

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

The company built me a website from the ground up, allowing me to approve the work after they had demonstrated how it might look. I was given a choice of three layouts and just chose one. They created content for me, graphics and videos to maintain visitors' interest.

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

As I mentioned, I only worked with Tony and we corresponded by email mainly, and only occasionally by phone. He set up the various guises, the content, the videos and the blogs for me. There was no one else I needed to help set up the website https://www.michaelfitzalanbooks.com

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

I have a wonderful website that looks professional and has engaging and interesting content. My customers can navigate the website easily and order books simply. It has much more traffic than my previous website and I am thrilled with the look and navigational tools Tony has installed.

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

I was away for a while in April but the project was completed in an agreed time frame of two weeks. Mostly, Tony and I communicated by email and I always received a swift response to my queries and I felt that Tony was going ut of his way to ensure we got the website right.

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

The service was superb and the quality of the work was great, too. Their ability to keep in touch and keep on top of developments even kept me on my toes and I ensured I gave them the information they needed to make the website a successful experience and pleasant place for visitors.

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

I have never had a website built from scratch before. I have worked with some web designers but this went much more smoothly and I felt the depth of knowledge Tony had ensured that we covered everything off as we went along so there were no hiccoughs.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am an author with a background in hospitality, tourism, property finance and facilities management.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire GenieCrawl?

I engaged GenieCrawl to assist me to get my work published and to connect me with reputable publishers. I also used GenieCrawl to proofread my short stories prior to approaching publishers. I also asked them to help build me a simple WIX based website too. I still need to add more to the website but I finally have an online website.

SOLUTION

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

GenieCrawl was initially recommended to me, but I didn't elect to use them until many months later. At that time, I read their google reviews and I liked that they were very adaptable and always eager to please their clients.

Describe the project in detail and walk through the stages of the project.

Since 2001 I have been working with various companies and it was only in 2020 that I decided to focus my efforts on becoming a full-time writer. I didn't know how to get my work published and I didn't know who to speak to. GenieCrawl was the revelation to me as they connected me with several successful authors, and they also helped me with the structure of my stories and proofreading them with their team. They also helped to build me a website so I could have an online presence as well.

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

I was solely working with Neil Reddy and he gave me all the guidance and advice on how to get my work published. I would send all my work to him weekly and I would get constructive criticism from him and the team on how to improve. Neil also guided me on the website creation with WIX

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

Since engaging GenieCrawl I managed to get several of my books published and they are available on the internet for purchase. My biggest success is my online dating book which is now listed for sale on Amazon. I am working with them on a few new publications which I hope will be equally as successful. My website is also live and I am working on adding more content too.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

My total communication was with Neil and the bulk of this was by email. As I was sending my work to be reviewed it made sense to communicate by email. I also added Neil on skype and I was able to have skype conversations with him too.

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

To be honest I knew very little about publishing my work and marketing and getting some online exposure. I just have a big passion for writing and I wanted an affordable company to guide me and put me on the right path.

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

Since I engaged them I can honestly say they have exceeded my expectations. At the beginning I was in conversations with Tony Andrews and once I became a client of theirs I communicated directly with Neil Reddy. The service provided by Neil has been nothing short of outstanding.

The level of communication was most valued during this project despite my having many requirements. They were very helpful and always took the time to accommodate my needs.

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