BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the Owner of Allied Facility Care based out of Dallas, Texas. We are a commercial cleaning company.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire ioVista?

We were trying to generate leads for commercial cleaning. Tried 2-3 companies for the past 3-4 years and did not get any results as intended.

What were your goals for this project?

We wanted to acquire more customers for a commercial cleaning business. We were specifically looking for large regional chains or office property management companies. We noticed an increase in traffic and rankings month over month and an uptake on our website for bids and also received phone calls.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

I found ioVista through a Google search for best SEO in Dallas. I have learnt over the years to hire people who excel at what they do to help me do it. In other words, I was looking for SEO and I figure that if you firm does SEO and if you don't show up on page 1 - how can you help me? I considered two other companies and they felt cold and impersonal and I was left feeling like I was just another company. The staff at ioVista were professional, friendly and answered my questions in layman terms. Most importantly I knew that if they decided to work with me, I will be more than just a company.

Describe the project in detail.

They made changes to my website which they told me were necessary. Next they asked to take over my Google My Business, Facebook and few other social sites.

Then with a lot of convincing we started a PPC campaign to complement the SEO efforts. At first I thought why would I pay when I hired for SEO. The plan worked.

What was the team composition?

Digital Strategist, SEO Manager, PPC Expert, Account Manager

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

I got clients, calls and good opportunities to bid.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

We communicated via Teamwork, phone calls, emails and in-person.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

I didn't feel like just another company. I really felt like the entire team knew my business, my name and the type of businesses I want to acquire. I actually consider them to be my own my personal marketing team for my company.

Are there any areas for improvement?

Overall I couldn't be any happier - this is the only reason I have filled out this extensive review.
