Hibu

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I'm the general manager of Discount Garage & Exteriors, a construction company specializing in new construction and home improvement projects.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Hibu?

We needed support rebuilding our website and creating digital ad campaigns.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Hibu has built our website, which includes form fills and reviews. The team also hosts the site and creates search and social media ad campaigns.
Kathy (Account Manager) has helped with website creation and editing, educated me on SEO and search, assisted with Google re-verification, and stepped in as a teammate to work with support whenever needed. Hibu has a user-friendly dashboard with lots of data and analytics that allow us to monitor and change our approach in real time. We can also change our budget anytime based on our specific business needs.

What is the team composition?

We work with one teammate from Hibu.

How did you come to work with Hibu?

Hibu came to my office in 2018 and asked to quote rebuilding our website and creating digital ad campaigns. We chose them because their pricing fit our budget and offered good value for the cost.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with Hibu in September 2018, and our engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Our results depend on the market, but we've always been able to adjust as needed in terms of areas, keywords, and budget. Hibu's work is very customized to meet our business needs. The customer dashboard gives us access to real-time data. The reporting options allow us to compare our leads, areas, and locations on 30-, 60-, and 90-day comparisons. This option allows us to monitor closely and pick up on any slowdowns quickly.
We swapped companies and went with a smaller company that rebuilt our website and created new campaigns. Our leads dried up over a few months. After eight months, we returned to Hibu, and our leads have consistently increased every month since then. Keeping our content fresh and updated helps increase our traffic.

How did Hibu perform from a project management standpoint?

Hibu delivers on time. We've had struggles with our Google Business page becoming unverified, and Hibu's management has stepped in and worked directly with Google on our behalf. That feels like a call above and beyond the duty for me. We communicate via virtual meetings, emails, and messaging apps.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Kathy is top-tier and has been involved every step of the way since we started doing business with Hibu. She's great at staying in contact, checking our numbers, and having quarterly review meetings to discuss the details.
She makes real-life recommendations and doesn't just try to run up my bill so she can make money; she genuinely cares about the results I'm getting from the money we're spending. Moreover, she's always available, willing to help, and stays on top of our KPIs. She's friendly, flexible, and willing to educate us on this ever-evolving marketing world.
Additionally, Hibu does a great job of truly understanding the inner workings of building a proper website on the backend.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I'd like to see the ability to customize the website a little more, but overall, I'm happy with everything.

We’re firm believers that whatever we’re paying for, we expect to have great service and not have to do their job. With our Hibu project manager, we get all of that and then some.

No, there aren’t any.

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

Joe has also been very hands-on with everything. Between the website, Google, reviews, social media, and the overall strategy, it’s nice knowing I have one person I can call and he helps handle all of it. We’re still early, but I already feel much better about how City & Suburban looks online and how we’re positioned moving forward. Joe genuinely seems to care about helping the business, and that has made a big difference for me. I’d definitely recommend him and Hibu to another business owner.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Although we're still early in the campaign, we've already received at least two promising customer inquiries through the new marketing. We've also launched a completely updated website, started targeting five important local search terms, strengthened our online reviews and social media presence, and now have tracking in place so we can actually see the calls and opportunities our marketing is generating. The biggest measurable improvement so far is that we now have a complete online presence working together instead of relying primarily on referrals and word of mouth.

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

Hibu has been very organized and responsive throughout the entire process. They were clear from the beginning about what was being built, what we needed to provide, and what we could expect as everything came together. The website and other pieces of our marketing were delivered within the timelines that were explained to us, and when we wanted changes or had questions, they were handled quickly. Having Joe as our main point of contact has probably been the biggest benefit. Instead of having to figure out who to call for the website, Google, reviews, social media, or anything else, we call Joe and he takes care of it or gets the right person involved. He's been very hands-on and responsive to what we need, which makes the entire process much easier for us.

What was your primary form of communication with Hibu?

In-Person Meeting

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

What impressed me most about Hibu is that they don't look at each part of your marketing separately. They helped us understand how our website, Google presence, reviews, social media, and local visibility all work together and what potential customers are actually looking for when they research a contractor. The other thing that really stands out is having Joe as one point of contact for everything. He knows our business, knows what we're trying to accomplish, and if we need something, we call him and he handles it. It feels much more like having a marketing partner than just paying a company for a website or advertising.

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

None. Everything was great!

Hibu has helped us hire more employees, add more vehicles, expand our locations, and increase our profitability. The team has also helped us reduce our stress and improve our work-life balance and growth predictability. We’ve had in-person meetings to communicate.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Hibu has helped us eliminate our concerns about the time we need to invest in digital marketing. As a busy automotive shop, our focus is on taking care of our customers and working on vehicles, not managing websites or marketing campaigns. We were worried that marketing would become another task competing for our attention.Hibu's team has helped us eliminate that concern by handling the heavy lifting for us. Instead of having to learn the ins and outs of digital marketing or spend hours managing campaigns, we have a dedicated team that guides us through the process, makes recommendations, and keeps everything moving. That allows us to stay focused on running the business while knowing our online presence is being actively managed.What we appreciate most is that Hibu makes the process simple and efficient. Communication is straightforward, reporting is easy to understand, and we don't have to dedicate a significant amount of our time to see results. Having experts manage our marketing gives us confidence that things are being done correctly without pulling us away from serving our customers.

Are there any areas they could improve?

There's nothing we can come up with.

We’ve been working with Hibu for several months now at Groovy Dental and have been very satisfied with both the service and overall experience. James has been our main point of contact, and he has been great to work with. He is responsive, helpful, knowledgeable, and always willing to answer questions or help us make adjustments when needed. Having a consistent point of contact who understands our business has made the process much easier, and we’ve really appreciated James’s communication and support. Overall, we’ve had a very positive experience with Hibu and would definitely recommend them to other businesses looking for help with their online presence and marketing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Since partnering with Hibu, we have seen a noticeable increase in new patient inquiries and overall patient flow. Our website has been updated and is much more professional and user-friendly, and our visibility on Google has improved compared to where we were previously. We have also significantly reduced the amount of time our office staff has to spend managing website updates, online listings, and digital marketing, allowing our team to focus more on patients and day-to-day office operations. James Mata and the Hibu team have also been consistent about reviewing our performance and making adjustments as needed.

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

Their project management has been excellent. We were transitioning from another company, so maintaining an active website without any interruption was extremely important to us. Hibu completed the website transition faster than we anticipated and made the turnover process very smooth. James Mata and the team have been responsive, easy to communicate with, and quick to address any questions or changes we have needed. Overall, they have done a great job keeping everything moving efficiently and minimizing disruption to our business.

What was your primary form of communication with Hibu?

In-Person Meeting

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

What really stands out is having a local, in-person representative instead of everything being handled through virtual calls or a rotating support team. James Mata has been our main point of contact, and that personal relationship has made a huge difference. He is easy to reach, understands our business, follows up, and genuinely feels like someone who is invested in helping us succeed. That level of personal service is hard to find.

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

At this point, we have been very satisfied with our experience and do not have any major areas for improvement. The transition was handled efficiently, communication has been consistent, and our needs have been addressed quickly. If anything, we would just encourage Hibu to continue maintaining the personalized, in-person service and direct communication we have received from James Mata, as that has been one of the most valuable parts of our experience.

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

Hibu helped us launch and establish the digital presence for Call Orthodontics, a new orthodontic practice in Washington, Utah. The scope of the project included designing and building our website, search engine optimization (SEO), online review management, lead tracking and follow-up, and ongoing digital marketing support. A major deliverable was a professionally designed, SEO-optimized website built to help prospective patients find Call Orthodontics through local search and easily connect with our office. Hibu also provides ongoing website management and has been very responsive when we request changes or updates. In addition, Hibu has helped manage our local SEO strategy, online reputation and reviews, and systems for tracking and following up with prospective patient leads. Mike, our Hibu representative, has worked closely with us throughout the process to coordinate these services, answer questions, and help us evaluate our marketing efforts as the practice grows.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Since Call Orthodontics is a new practice, we are still early in the process of collecting long-term performance data, but we have already seen very encouraging results. Our website has quickly gained strong visibility in local Google searches for orthodontic services in Washington and the greater St. George, Utah area, which was one of our primary goals. We are also seeing prospective patients find and contact our practice through our online presence, and Hibu's lead tracking allows us to see where those opportunities are coming from and follow up appropriately. Our online reviews and overall digital presence have also grown quickly since opening. For a brand-new practice starting with essentially no established online presence, the early SEO performance, website visibility, lead generation, and growth in online reviews have all been very positive indicators that the project is working.

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

Hibu has been very reliable from a project management standpoint. They have consistently delivered the items they promised on time and have been responsive whenever we have questions, requests, or changes. One thing I particularly appreciate is how quickly their team responds when we need updates made to our website or other aspects of our digital marketing. Requests are handled efficiently, and communication has been consistent throughout the process. Mike has also been very accessible and proactive as our representative. He follows up regularly, helps keep things moving, and makes sure our questions and concerns are addressed. Overall, Hibu has done an excellent job delivering what they committed to and responding to the changing needs of Call Orthodontics as a new and growing practice.

What was your primary form of communication with Hibu?

Virtual Meeting

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

What has impressed me most about Hibu is that we have actually seen our business move up in local search rankings, while also understanding the strategy behind that progress. They don’t simply recommend that we spend more money on marketing and then hide the process behind technical jargon. Mike and the Hibu team take the time to explain what we are investing in, why they recommend it, and how each piece fits into the larger strategy for Call Orthodontics. As a business owner, I really appreciate that transparency. It allows me to make informed decisions about where our marketing dollars are going and understand what we are trying to accomplish with each investment. The combination of measurable progress, transparency, and education is what has stood out most to me about working with Hibu.

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

The one area we would have liked to see improved was the initial aesthetic design of the website. We had a fairly specific vision for the look and feel of Call Orthodontics, and the initial design required some additional customization to get there. That said, Hibu has been very responsive to our feedback. They have made changes quickly and worked with us to personalize the website to better reflect our brand and aesthetic preferences. We are very happy with where the website is now, so while the initial design process could have been more aligned with our vision from the beginning, their willingness and ability to adapt has been a definite strength.
