Most B2B companies have the same problem: PR, SEO, and content are all running — but in different directions. Placements land and fade. Rankings plateau. AI platforms like Claude and ChatGPT reshape how buyers find vendors, and nobody's sure the company is even showing up.
Idea Grove built the answer to siloed visibility. We call it the Total Visibility System — an integrated approach that aligns earned media, SEO, content, and AI optimization into a single coordinated engine. Every piece of work reinforces the others: PR placements strengthen search performance, search strengthens AI inclusion, and visibility compounds rather than fades.
The timing couldn't be better. Gartner predicts AI-driven search will double earned media budgets by 2027 — because AI answer engines don't respond to paid media. They cite earned coverage. The brands that dominate AI-generated answers are building cross-channel authority right now. That's what we help B2B companies do.

Idea Grove helped an AI company with an extensive rebranding project that included developing a new WordPress site and creating a new logo, imagery, animations, fonts, color schemes, and custom visual assets.
Idea Grove’s efforts significantly improved the client’s business by having a functional and beautiful site and a brand that resonated with customers. The team was highly collaborative, communicative, and responsive. Additionally, their multiple technical skills and customer care were impressive.
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this
client over the phone. Below is an edited
transcript.
BACKGROUND
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I’m the VP of marketing at ConverseNow, an AI company that provides voice AI for quick-service restaurants. We automate phone and drive-through orders for some of the largest restaurant brands in the country.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
What challenge were you trying to address with Idea Grove?
I was the company’s first marketing hire. When I joined, I took upon many responsibilities, including idea growth. As part of this effort, we wanted to do a complete overhaul of our brand DNA, which included defining a new logo and new colors, imagery, style, and look and feel overall. Basically, we wanted to go through a complete rebranding process but keep our name, so we hired Idea Grove to help us execute our vision.
SOLUTION
What was the scope of their involvement?
Idea Grove was instrumental in helping us rebrand our company. They designed a new logo, defined new fonts, created custom imagery and character illustrations with our own style, and designed custom iconography and animations. Additionally, they built a new website for us from scratch, optimized for prospect conversion.
The process was highly collaborative; we provided Idea Grove with our vision of what we were looking for, and they collaborated with us using their creative and web design skills to execute that vision. Besides our brand vision, we provided them with information about our target customers, our products and services, our brand growth strategy, and our company’s overall vision.
The website they developed was a simple brochure website to provide customers with information about us, our services, and the various technologies we’ve developed. Additionally, they included a blog page where we can post our blog articles and press releases, a careers section where prospective employees can apply for a job, and a contact form for prospective clients.
As for the technology stack, Idea Grove used WordPress, WP Engine, and Elementor Pro to build the site and customize its elements as needed. For the creative part, they used Adobe InDesign and Illustrator, in which they designed character illustrations, iconography, and other visual assets.
What is the team composition?
My key points of contact were Madison (Senior Account Executive), Cecil (Associate Creative Director), who ran the lead on all the creative development, and Rose (Graphic Designer), who was the graphic designer under Cecil. I also worked with Megan (Senior Director of Digital Marketing), who built our website.
How did you come to work with Idea Grove?
Idea Grove contacted me through a cold email. I very rarely respond to those emails, but when I was looking for a partner, I wanted to leave no stone unturned. During the partner selection process, they were very communicative, which was very important to me.
One of my requirements during this process was that I wanted to work directly with the leadership team of whichever company I chose; I didn’t want to be handed off to a junior team. When I first met with Idea Grove, their senior leadership was on the call. They promised to meet my requirement, and they did. The people I met during the pitch call were those who worked on my project.
How much have you invested in them?
We spent $69,000.
What is the status of this engagement?
We worked together from November 2021–May 2022. We’re now in talks with them to engage in a second phase and develop new things in the future.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
The impact of Idea Grove’s work on our business was monumental. They elevated our identity in a spectacular way, creating the branding we were looking for — a branding that joins what customers expect from us with how we see ourselves. We wouldn’t have achieved that without their help. Aside from the branding, they delivered a functional and aesthetically pleasing site.
How did Idea Grove perform from a project management standpoint?
Idea Grove’s technical skill set, receptiveness, and communication skills made it possible for us to get excellent deliverables and be involved in an enjoyable process. Although this project was time-consuming and required a lot of hard work from both parties, we were very involved in doing exactly what we needed to do to get it to completion.
Additionally, Idea Grove was very communicative during project revisions. Every time they delivered an asset, we had multiple constructive conversations, and they always were open to feedback. As a result of this collaborative process, we achieved great things.
I also want to highlight Idea Grove’s account management. Madison was, by far, the best account manager I’ve worked with. She kept everything organized and her team on track so that we could meet the deadlines. Additionally, she was very capable of handling both fun and difficult conversations easily, empowering both sides to work toward a common goal and making the best out of our partnership.
We constantly communicated via email, and we had weekly Zoom meetings throughout the project, which were very helpful. Once in a while, I also talked with Madison over the phone.
What did you find most impressive about them?
Idea Grove’s technical expertise and willingness to go the extra mile every step of the way set them apart from other agencies. Overall, they did excellent work; they really ran the gamut of being a full-service creative and web development agency. They delivered on all fronts and did everything they said they would do during the RFP process. We were very happy with them, and we would gladly hire them again for future projects.
Are there any areas they could improve?
The only challenge we faced was that Megan was out for extended periods of time, multiple times throughout the year, which caused it to be a bottleneck during web development. However, I told Idea Grove about that multiple times, and I believe that they’re actively working on finding an additional resource for Megan’s team so that her unavailability doesn’t cause delays.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
Provide them with your vision and rely on them to execute it. You can’t expect them to work from a blank canvas and deliver what you imagined. They will work as the extra pair of hands you need to get your project done, but you’re the one who knows your brand. Thus, the more feedback you provide and the more involved you are in the project, the better the result will be.

While the overall results met our expectations, the communication style was more top-down than we anticipated. Most interaction was through leadership rather than the broader team, and the process was kept fairly structured without much emphasis on collaborative learning. For some businesses, that hands-off approach may work well, but we would have appreciated more regular discussions and transparency into the process.

Standley partnered with Idea Grove for HubSpot, SEO and digital content strategy support. We began the relationship with a HubSpot project of integrating HubSpot with Dynamics, our sales CRM. Another project they took on was connecting all of our Google My Business profiles and set up an automation through HubSpot to collect reviews online to help boost our SEO as well.
Their team also set up leading scoring in HubSpot for contacts as well. They've done a great job setting the framework and foundation for our digital strategy and making sure that we have the tools in place/set up in HubSpot to be able to track progress of those initiatives.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Dynamics is communicating two ways to HubSpot so we are now able to start using our own data and contacts to strategically market to our client base and opportunities. Our website health score has increased, we have visibility to leads and the lead source coming in. Having the integration complete has also allowed us to implement automations to better communicate with our audience.

More proactive thinking and telling our story at a high level (e.g. how does our work and data fit into conversations about economic activity).

Idea Grove provides content creation services for a user research company. The team publishes one long-form post per month. They’ve also helped the firm understand their branding and messaging as a business.
The company is happy with Idea Grove’s work. They manage the engagement well and ensure that what they produce aligns with the firm’s branding and voice. The team communicates with the client through emails effectively. Their patience is a standout quality when they have budget conversations.
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this
client over the phone. Below is an edited
transcript.
BACKGROUND
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I’m the COO of a user research firm. We research on behalf of Fortune 100 and Fortune 500 companies to help them identify improvement strategies for their UI/UX designs and branding. I lead the research operations team, including all researchers and recruiters. I also somehow inherited our marketing team.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
What challenge were you trying to address with Idea Grove?
We needed to rebrand and change the way we did business. Our team realized we needed to do something about our content, but I couldn’t be responsible for content since I was already wearing many hats.
At the same time, my team didn’t feel comfortable writing content. As a result, Idea Grove did exploratory research to help us figure out what we needed to do. We then re-contracted them to lead the content creation efforts of our organization.
SOLUTION
What was the scope of their involvement?
Initially, Idea Grove did a mix of stakeholder interviews with people who had been with our company for a long time and who were newer. This helped them understand where we wanted to go. After that, they put together a report deck for us to summarise those research sessions, giving us recommendations on things we could do moving forward. Apart from that, the team gave us good, better, and best-case scenarios depending on our budget.
Moreover, we did a branding workshop and went to Idea Grove’s facility. In there, we talked about how we could be seen differently and figured out the words we should use when talking about our business and space.
At present, we’re working on our content creation campaign. Idea Grove and our team have biweekly meetings for fact-finding sessions to ensure they sound like us when they put out content. They get to ask questions and poke holes in our research and vice versa. Overall, they help us create strategies and generate content, putting it in places where our audience can see it. We publish a long-form post each month, though we don’t have a content calendar.
What is the team composition?
We work with a project manager and two subject matter experts — one for branding and one for writing. Recently, I’ve been given another manager to ensure we stay on track. Overall, the working team is composed of 3–4 people. Over the course of the engagement, there have been 2–3 other people who’ve helped us come up with strategies.
How did you come to work with Idea Grove?
One of the salespeople on my team recommended Idea Grove, along with two other marketing companies.
How much have you invested with them?
We’ve invested between $40,000–$50,000.
What is the status of this engagement?
We started having conversations with Idea Grove in 2021, but the engagement officially started in January 2022. The project's first phase has already wrapped up, but our partnership is ongoing.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
We’ve started publicizing the first blog Idea Grove has written, and the content is good. We’ve been working on ensuring they use the right tone and message. Most of my feedback to them is around the implications of using a certain voice or tone — I want to be edgy but not piss everybody off.
How did Idea Grove perform from a project management standpoint?
Idea Grove’s project management is flawless. Madison (Senior Account Executive) dots all the i’s and crosses all the t’s. We typically use emails to communicate.
What did you find most impressive about them?
They’ve been truly patient with us when we’re having budget conversations. The team understands that we’re a small business, and I can’t just pull money from anywhere. They spend time getting to know our team, so they sound like us when they write. On top of that, they see and have my attitude and vision for the company.
Are there any areas they could improve?
No, there aren’t any.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
Idea Grove’s process is good. Plan for your conversations with them. The team sends emails and agendas ahead of meetings. Our meetings are more effective when I’ve read through the agendas and prepared answers to their questions. You should do the same; preparing answers to their questions is a good use of your time.
