GrowthExpertz

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I'm the CMO at Hushly. B2B marketers use Hushly to increase content engagement, lead conversions and lead quality at a fraction of their current acquisition cost. We are a content engagement, lead conversion and lead enrichment platform that's powered by AI.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

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

I needed a complete overhaul on our website from an SEO perspective. My goal: To eliminate all the issues that are holding back the site from optimal ranking and increase the quality and quantity of organic traffic to the site for ideal keywords. My requirement was not only to get the audit and recommendations but have the agency implement those recommendations as my current engineering team was focused on our own software solution.

I wasn't looking for this to be a long drawn out ordeal over an annual contract where someone would incrementally implement fixes and changes on some hourly basis over months. I needed a hard hitting deep dive that could get done in 30-60 days.

SOLUTION

How did you select GrowthExpertz and what were the deciding factors?

I solicited bids from 5 agency and sat down to have a conversation with every single one of them. In the end Andrew Miller from GrowthExpertz came across as having the best grasp on what my needs were and how to translate that effectively both in conversation and in the service quote. The GrowthExpertz model is to really set out an aggressive goal to implement all the required fixes and changes within 30 days. That was a huge decision for me. I wasn't looking to pay a subscription fee on a monthly basis to get incrementalism.

Along with that I needed someone who could not only make recommendations on what needed to be done but also make the changes from both the technical perspective and at the page level.

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

Phase 1: Research and Writing

Phase 2: Technical Analysis and Audit

Phase 3: Implementation and Handover

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

I worked with a single point of contact. That person quarterbacked all the necessary resources and managed the timelines to get everything done on time, on budget, and exactly to the specs we agreed upon.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Overall I'm extremely pleased with the results and I've already seen measurable impact on my SEO rankings.

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

Communication was always easy and open. We were able to manage 90% of this over email with the other 10% via quick phone calls. The timelines exceeded my expectations and delivery was done in just under 30 days.

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

We were delighted with their business model of tackling everything in 30 days and not doing some hour plan over the course of months.

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

None from me.
