Produce a plan to increase the number of qualified meetings we booked per month, and then execute on that plan. Includes writing content, technical SEO, implementing all work on our website (Elementor), bi-weekly review meetings, and some design recommendations.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Kanbar Digital was able to increase the number of booked meetings per month. They were also able to increase the amount of traffic our website received significantly.

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

Yes, the work was on-time, and went above and beyond! They continually responded to our changing needs by doing one-off work, and being very flexible with our contact so that everything stayed in-budget.

What was your primary form of communication with Kanbar Digital, LLC?

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

They really go above and beyond! Here are a few examples:

• Their CEO had a call with someone on our side, and had his team do free work for us. He's extremely knowledgeable. He made predictions about how the new content his team produced would affect our SEO. So, we tracked the data over 30 days in Google Search Console, and he was right. That's how we made  our hiring decision.
• We needed some (out of scope) work done so their CEO helped us hire someone external to achieve that - he even wrote a job description for us to post on Upwork.
• They seamlessly collaborated with our design partners to make user interface changes to our website. I'm pretty sure all of this was very out of scope work they did for free.

There's more. We will definitely work with them again.

Are there any areas for improvement or something Kanbar Digital, LLC could have done differently?

No, they're already exceptional!

What challenge were you trying to address with Kanbar Digital, LLC?

We hired Kanbar Digital, LLC to manage our SEO, help build our brand identity, and address our marketing needs.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Kanbar Digital, LLC has helped us redesign our website and strengthen our brand identity by fine-tuning our target audience and company voice and tone. They've also developed marketing content guidelines, produced monthly blog posts, and kept our website pages at top performance with current SEO trends and ranking criteria. Additionally, they've assisted with the development of our newsletter and our social media presence, among many other things they've helped us accomplish over the past two years.

Initially, we faced challenges such as disorganized website pages and sitemaps, many inefficient AI-generated blog posts from our previous website management company, an unclear brand identity, and a lack of strong marketing and online presence. To address these challenges, Kanbar Digital, LLC began by auditing our website and sitemap, identifying redundancies, broken links, and poorly performing content. They then restructured the site to improve navigation and UX.

For the blog content, they replaced low-quality AI-generated posts with high-performing, SEO-optimized articles tailored to our industry and audience. On the branding side, they conducted discovery sessions to help define our brand identity, tone, and audience more clearly, which led to consistent and compelling messaging across all platforms.
