What were your goals for this project?

We wanted to improve our search engine rankings for specific keywords and phrases to be able to effectively reach our target market.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

Having worked for another digital marketing agency for a number of years, I knew of players in the field and had made multiple contacts within the industry. I knew of someone working for Social SEO and after talking to them and a few other people in the company I realized how knowledgeable they all were, and knew they were the right team for us.

Describe the project in detail.

We started off with several meeting so they could get to fully understand our company so they could do proper competitive analysis. This wasn't a cookie-cutter process, this was tailored to our exact needs. We continue to have weekly meeting to go over results and new directions to make sure we are getting the results we want.

We have one account manager that we work with directly, who is on a team that handles our account. It is a great process when you call you talk to the same person every time, that knows you and your business

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I'm the CTO of an ecommerce startup team dedicated to healthcare supplements.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire SocialSEO?

Enhancing SEO results for our startup eCommerce platform.

What were your goals for this project?

Excel in search engine rankings helping us to show as far to the top of search results as possible, helping influence sales.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

We researched several SEO providers and tried a few as well, but SocialSEO was the one with which we decided to move forward. This has proven to been a wise decision.

Describe the project in detail.

Being a starting eCommerce company in the CBD market, we are considered a high-risk business by default from credit card merchants. Getting sales can be tricky, so using the skills and education provided by the SocialSEO team has been imperative to our success thus far.

What was the team composition?

Our CEO, myself, and our SocialSEO agent.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We've only had a relationship thus far spanning about 90-120 days. Results are rising and if SocialSEO keeps it up, we have no doubt our ROI will be realized.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

The workflow has been awesome. Their flexibility with our change in meeting needs has been very communicative and thus, impressive!

What did you find most impressive about this company?

The outright display of professionalism and knowledge is great. Being a techie myself for over 30 years, I'm familiar with SEO enough to get some results -- but not nearly the results we could have gotten had we just relied on my skills alone.

Are there any areas for improvement?

A portal to a completion/note/meeting notes/etc database would be awesome.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I am a restaurant consultant for Supply Chain Synergy Consultants. We specialize in supply chain and help large national chains throughout the United States with purchasing and vendor relations.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with SocialSEO?

When I first started my company, I developed my own website on Wix. I thought I had followed all the right steps for SEO, but my site wasn't showing up on Google no matter how hard I searched. The platform was essentially invisible because it wasn't being recognized by Google. People couldn't find my business, so I hired SocialSEO to help.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

SocialSEO has helped me build out my.website. In the background, they've worked on SEO such as keyword strategies to improve my ranking within Google. 

The account manager learned about my business, and then researched what my competitors were doing with their websites.

They've also added additional content under my direction. Before any of it goes live, they proofread and finalize my content.

What is the team composition?

I work exclusively with our account manager, Mark (Enterprise SEO Specialist, SocialSEO).

How did you come to work with SocialSEO?

After I talked to a few people and interviewed about six different SEO companies. Based on an assessment of criteria such as previous work, past clients, and testimonials, I landed on SocialSEO. 

Their pricing wasn't the least expensive, but I wanted a professional company instead of just one person working out of their office or home. I felt like they would be able to deliver the service I was looking for.

What is the status of this engagement?

I've worked with SocialSEO for almost a year so far. We started in July 2018.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The most valuable success SocialSEO has had so far is getting my website recognized by Google. When people search for “restaurant consultant” in general or specifically for supply chain, I am now readily available in the results. The increased visibility has led to more business.

For local search in Colorado, I'm now between the eighth and tenth on the list for restaurant consultants. Before I started working with SocialSEO, my website was nowhere to be found in search results.

The level of service has exceeded my expectations and is more than worth the money I've paid. Our account manager has made a lot of progress with helping people find my site. It's gone up exponentially in the rankings practically every month.

How did SocialSEO perform from a project management standpoint?

We had weekly meetings over the phone for the last year. Just recently, we decreased the frequency of our calls to biweekly within the past month or two. They're very organized and really kept me informed. After each of our phone calls, they send me a recap of what they've completed and their plan for the next week.
. 
What did you find most impressive about them?

Dedication and quality of people are SocialSEO’S greatest strengths. I'm most impressed by the talent on their team, specifically Mark (Enterprise SEO Specialist, SocialSEO).

From a quality of service standpoint, SocialSEO is extremely timely and very helpful. They go above and beyond in our work together to help me out.

 Are there any areas they could improve?

I don't have any constructive criticism. SocialSEO has met or exceeded all my expectations.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

I would suggest doing your research first. Don't cut corners; go with a professional company like a SocialSEO. Come prepared and be able to articulate what you want to achieve so they can match their work accordingly.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the marketing director for ERP implementation firm. We’re a partner for an ERP software provider and an MSP firm.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with SocialSEO?

We hired SocialSEO to increase our organic traffic and to improve the user experience on our site.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

The process began by learning about our business and target market, which helped formulate a plan to attract organic traffic from an SEO perspective. Through keywords, tagging, and writing content that fit our meta description, we found ways to drive the right people to our platform.

What is the team composition?

We predominantly work with three of their team members. Mark (Enterprise SEO Specialist, SocialSEO) acts as our project manager. We also interface with BJ (VP of Enterprise Accounts, SocialSEO) and Ronin (Enterprise SEO Specialist, SocialSEO). Other members of their team help on our project as well.

How did you come to work with SocialSEO?

Our team looked up a variety of things while searching for different companies. SocialSEO is local, but what attracted us to them was their honesty compared to other companies. They talked about how poorly certain aspects were scored and what needed tweaking. It was a different response than what we got back from others.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent between $10,000–$25,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

Our engagement began in January 2019.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Growth in organic traffic happens over time. We’ve seen some, but part of it is that we redesigned the flow of our site. They worked on how it’s structured and crafted a plan for the future. That’s had an immediate impact. It’s easier to navigate our site, and it’s a lot less confusing.

How did SocialSEO perform from a project management standpoint?

SocialSEO is extremely open. We have access to their project management board and can view their timeframes and other things. They don’t hoard information. Their visibility differs from other companies we’ve worked with in the past. Their team’s attentiveness allows them to hop on anything quickly. If we need them on a call, they’ll get right on the phone. Their responsiveness is also a huge positive. We have a standing weekly meeting but usually, have a call once or twice a week for anything that needs direct addressing.

What did you find most impressive about them?

I appreciate SocialSEO’s transparency.

Are there any areas they could improve?

We use their enterprise package currently, which comes with a certain level of attention. In the beginning, there was a big emphasis on planning. We do a lot of planning with our own clients because of the consulting we do. Having a well-defined plan is extremely crucial. I don’t think that’s necessarily a negative. I’ve been happy with their service so far.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Before hiring any company, check their competitors and references. The references we received about SocialSEO were glowing. Their clients were happy. Ask for the level of reporting and service transparency they offer upfront. We like to analyze the data. Not all SEO firms are transparent in that regard.

BACKGROUND

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire SocialSEO?

What were your goals for this project?

Our goal was to find a cost-effective way to reach patients and families so that we could invite them to join our confidential market research panels.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

SocialSEO is highly respected in Colorado Springs and beyond. I attended an information session that they put on, and follow-up conversations showed that they would be able to lead us into and through a new area of recruiting that we had yet to try.

Describe the scope of their work in detail.

I provide SocialSEO with patient areas that I hope to enter into and find candidates. Their team then works to find those audiences for me. SocialSEO also develops social media ads on a monthly basis for our approval. After launching those ads, they track meaningful detailed outreach data for our review and utilization.

What was the team composition?

We work closely with Michael Hopson (Social Media Manager, SocialSEO) who has a team supporting him. What is impressive about SocialSEO is that we are just a small monthly client to them, but Michael definitely makes us feel as if we are his most important customers.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The social media outreach has been a wonderful success for us. We are able to attract and welcome a continuous stream of new patients and family caregivers to our panels so that our clients can conduct their healthcare research.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

It’s a very effective workflow. Their team is cost-effective, collaborative, efficient, and professional.
