I am the founder and CEO of a telco affiliate.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire GrowMyAds.com, and what were your goals?

The goal we agreed was to increase traffic volumes to my site while maintaining or improving Cost Per Conversion.

SOLUTION

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

I posted the job on Upwork. I hired him because he seemed confident and spoke in a way which made me think he could improve the account.

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

We had a teleconference to agree goals. We had to cover the goals 2 or 3 times and then I followed up by documenting them so we both had a clear scope and

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

I only worked with Luke. He was an SEM consultant.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

This was the most expensive and least effective work I've had done on my site in the 10 years I've run it. It cost more than a thousand dollars US and I saw no measurable results.

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

I found Luke inexplicably arrogant.

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

I did not find anything impressive or unique about this company.

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

I ran the logs for the last 30 days and it looked to me that about 2 hours work had been done in that time. To be fair, Luke did refund me half of the money for that 30 day period because such a small amount of work had been done.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire GrowMyAds.com?

I hired Luke Donoghue to develop a next level strategy for my business that would extend to Google and other platforms.

SOLUTION

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

Referral from a very trusted friend.

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

Was super excited to work with Luke! As anyone will tell you it is not easy to find a capable marketer who is trusted, and very attentive. Luke came highly recommended from a friend who used Lukes expertise to scale his business 3 fold within just a year. For many years my business solely used Facebook and Instagram and I was looking to scale and expand to Google and Youtube.

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

I worked solely with Luke Donoghue.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

I was certainly not disappointed! Out of the gate super professional, attentive, and delivered. He was always careful to manage expectations which I understand especially since online marketing is going through so many changes. Was very happy with the result and insights I got from Luke Donoghue.

But the part that I was most impressed with was the care, I felt like he really had my best interest at heart and treated me like someone he had a genuine interest in helping. With Luke I experience a level of hard work and genuine care that is hard to come by. But most importantly I was satisfied with Lukes efforts!

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

They were very effective.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I'm the founder of an online 3D rendering service. We give 3D artists a faster way to render their Blender projects.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire GrowMyAds.com?

We were looking to optimise the way we invest in paid traffic through Google Adwords. We wanted to make sure we were making the most out of our keywords, ads, and landing pages and get the right people searching for what we have to offer onto our website.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

Through someone in my network I heard about GrowMyAds. I contacted them, and after some free advice on our Adwords account we decided to start working with them.

Describe the scope of their work in detail.

They know everything about running successful Adwords campaigns, we know everything about our industry. So we started connecting the dots there. We explained to them what we do, what problem we solve, for who. Based on that, the experts at GrowMyAds were able to start optimising our account by looking at specific keywords to target and to ignore.

Deciding which types of ads work best. What kind of metrics we should make decisions on. Making sure tracking was set up correctly to allow for these metrics to flow in properly. Coming up with new ideas to allow the people who's problem we can solve might be able to find our company.

What was the team composition?

I've had close contact with one of the ad experts through bi-weekly catch up meetings and online chat. Behind the scenes more people were working on our account.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

By weeding out campaigns that were not performing well and nurturing campaigns that were above our ROI threshold, we were able to increase the efficiency of our account across the board, which improved our overall ROI.

We have a better foundation of the whole account now because we improved the ad performance tracking, allowing for more accurate data inflow into Google's optimisation algorithm which will be beneficial for the long term. Furthermore, the entire account is organised a lot better than before, making maintenance a lot easier.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

For small things we used an online chat platform which worked well. For more in depth discussions we had online meetings. Overall a very smooth way of working.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

The fact that they already took care of things I was about to ask them. You could sense that they have tons of experience which was a great reassuring feeling that things were taken care of properly.

Is there any area for improvement or anything that could have been done differently?

I can't think of anything.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the founder of an online ecommerce store. We sell culinary kitchen knives and relevant kitchenware.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire GrowMyAds.com, and what were your goals?

We were looking to improve our RoAS and structure our Google Ads account. We hired them to manage our ads account and get us out of the rut, helping us migrate from Smart Shopping Ads to PMAX.

SOLUTION

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

I found GrowMyAds online and was very impressed with the message on their website. I spoke to them on the phone and decided to go with them vs. others due to how direct and honest they were from the beginning. Other referrals I examined failed to address some of my concerns and provided me with comfort in a partner I could trust.

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

We began with an audit and a phone call prior to signing the contract. The team came back with honest feedback and a roadmap during our second call which we discussed in detail and then decided to proceed. Upon signing the contract we set up an online messaging system and proceeded with the implementation of the plan. We had a couple of calls thereafter to review results, but mostly we would chat over the messaging app, which I found very convenient.

The team recommended other channels as well and continually tested and provided ideas. They were very active on the account and continually made improvements along the way. Initially, in the account, we only had Smart Shopping Campaigns but the team tested and implemented a wider range of campaign types. They also actively managed and tested various assets in the PMAX campaign.

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

We had two senior people managing the account, one of which was the cofounder.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The account's final RoAs was within the expectation they set during the audit and introductory calls.

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

The team was very easy to communicate with, and we used an online messaging system to keep in sync. Where needed, we had phone calls to go over things in more detail.

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

I felt the team was highly trustworthy and upfront about setting expectations and discussing results. I did not feel pressured to work with them or think they needed micromanagement.

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

It was an overall positive experience.

BACKGROUND

I'm the owner and founder of an ecommerce company that designs, manufactures and sells wall safes and other accessories for watch and jewelry collectors.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire GrowMyAds.com, and what were your goals?

Most of our sales are driven by Google AdWords advertising and through errors by our prior agency, our ads had become increasingly ineffective and seriously was affecting our sales. The goal for GrowMyAds was to fix our advertising problem, recommend fixes to our website to enhance and optimize both google adword and organic search results, design a winning Google ad words and youtube advertising strategy, and help us drive more sales.

SOLUTION

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

Through onlilne search, recomendations and successful growth and involvement in similar clients to myself.

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

First Luke analyzed our webiste design, speed and features from a sales conversion optimization perpective, and made recommendations that we adopted to the extent possible. While we were doing that, Luke was rebuillding our ads and fixing some major settings issues we had with our google account. His expertise in this was missing in past conversations with others. Then we implemented his ad campaign, increasing budget as we saw results, which happened pretty quickly.

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

Luke worked with us.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Sales increased by several hundred percent, and exceeded same month sales year over year by 30-50%.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

Excellent. We use an online messaging app to stay in touch, and periodically, about monthly have a zoom call to review account performance and metrics, and discuss strategy not dealt with through messaging.

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

Luke's prior experience was uniquely applicable and their wide-ranging experience greatly contributes to our experience and benefit.

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

Really can't complain, though perhaps at the beginning we should have set a six month advertising and markets plan together. But then again, I might not have trusted a new guy guiding my business like at that from the beginning. Now I do.

They submitted the best proposal and represented themselves better than the other options. After reading some of their reviews, we were confident that they would be able to help us.

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

We began with an introductory meeting to get to know our business goals and objectives. We then had Luke and his team take over our AdWords PPC campaign.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the CEO of an organization that markets nutritional supplements directly to consumers over the internet.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with GrowMyAds.com?

Our company was with a larger advertising agency before, but we were spending too much money on them. As a result, we switched to GrowMyAds.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

GrowMyAds looked into our account, and we discussed it. They immediately saw opportunities for us to save money while growing the business. In terms of tasks, they created text ads. The team used our internal creative team to create display ads on Google Shopping and YouTube.

What is the team composition?

I worked with Luke (Founder). 

How did you come to work with GrowMyAds.com?

GrowMyAds sent me an email; their services were quite specific to our business, so I decided to try them out. 

How much have you invested with them?

We invested around $35,000. 

What is the status of this engagement?

Our engagement lasted from November 2021–August 2022. 

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

In a nutshell, GrowMyAds cut our ad spend by 50% while growing our revenue — they were much more efficient than our previous agency. We added about $50,000 per month to our profit by using them. 

How did GrowMyAds.com perform from a project management standpoint?

Their project management skills were excellent. To communicate, we used Google Meet, emails, and RingCentral.

What did you find most impressive about them?

GrowMyAds was truly knowledgeable. Contrary to what their name suggested, they didn’t just focus on growing my ads; they also focused on profitability. They showed real concern for ensuring our ads were profitable. For comparison, other ad agencies were interested in growing their ad budget so they could increase the amount they charged.

By contrast, Luke was more interested in increasing our profitability. As a result, he’s become one of my all-time favorite vendors. They should change their company name to “GrowMyProfits” because that was what they did for me. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

We left them because they didn’t offer full-service ad creation. Put another way, GrowMyAds was so good because their services were focused. However, because of that, they couldn’t do everything for us.

Internally, we were weak in ad creation. I told them we’d return to them after building that area of our business.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Luke has a lot of great ideas. In fact, you can treat him as a business consultant. Even though GrowMyAds doesn’t provide full services, Luke knows many different things, and you can do different strategies with him. In other words, you shouldn’t only talk to him to do your ads; you should also talk to him at least once a month about the rest of your business.

GrowMyAds.com does PPC on Google Ads for us; they implement the ads we create and monitor everything for us in that regard.

We started working together in March 2022, and the engagement is ongoing — I plan on expanding the project’s scope.

We’ve noticed an increase in keyword rankings, traffic, business conversions, and return on ad spending. Overall, they’ve been a great team to work with.

How did GrowMyAds.com perform from a project management standpoint?

Project management is great; we mainly communicate via email and constant Zoom meetings.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Their responsiveness is outstanding, and they always tell me what’s happening.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I don’t think there’s anything they can improve on — their team is doing their best to commit to what they say they’d do.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Monitor the project; don’t leave it up to other people, and pay attention to what’s happening. Otherwise, you’ll waste a lot of money on things that won’t lead to anything.

No need for improvement. This vendor was perfect.

Please describe your company and your position there.

Im the Director of Cherub Baby, a specialist baby products business selling both online and in retail stores, primarily in Australia.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire GrowMyAds.com?

We hired growmyads.com to both improve our ROAS whilst simultaneously increasing the spend and holding a good ROAS to achieve more sales volume and profitability.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

We interviewed several companies and ended up deciding on growmyads.com

Describe the scope of their work in detail.

Growmyads.com are specifically focusing on our google ads account for our AU website looking for new opportunities to maximise growth and ROAS as well as exploiting existing opportunities to achieve and maintain great results.

We've seen a 4 x increase in spend over a 7 month period yet maintained a consistent ROAS which is exactly what the goal has been.

We speak primarily on chat and Luke is very quick to respond. We then catch up every month or so on zoom as required by either party. Luke sends over monthly reports and is always giving us tips and tricks on aspects outside of google ads that can assist us.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

Luke hit the ground running with our account and within the first month he was able to turn our ROAS around to be moving in the right directions and then incrementally increase spend while keep the ROAS to the agreed level.

The team has a very detailed knowledge of Google Ads and knows what he's doing, so we've been comfortable to just let him run it, so we can focus on other parts of the business.

He's always making suggestions for how to improve our user experience and average order value, recognizing that google ads can only do so much, we also need to have a killer website, product and overall user experience!

Is there any area for improvement or anything that could have been done differently?

Luke doesn't really manage product feeds but has suggested some good software that could help us with that.
