OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire KlientBoost, and what were your goals?

We are a growing startup that wanted to expand our brand awareness while also increasing our top of funnel. We hired Klientboost at the height of the 2020 Covid-19 pandemic to provide us with full scale SEO services to start our keyword ranking to grow organic traffic to our pages.

Since then I have been amazed how well they have been able to work throughout this pandemic delivering us amazing results even getting long tail keywords with Salesforce in them to out rank Salesforce in their own branded keywords.

We also hired them to manage our PPC campaigns where they have been able to make the most out of our tight budgets without ever going over budget.

SOLUTION

How did you select KlientBoost and what were the deciding factors?

The reason we selected KlientBoost was that they offered a full-scale digital advertising Ad agency services at a good price compared to other agencies who specialized in just 1or 2 things.

Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and campaigns.

At the start of working with KlientBoost we needed to build our website’s reputation so we laid our goals out by going for high volume keywords that were easy to target on the SEO side while using PPC to go for the much difficult keywords.

From there, their team was able to give us suggestions on new keywords and content topic ideas to further help us get in front of our key demographics. Every time we said “hey we have this idea,” their team would bend over backwards to help us figure out to make it possible, giving us key deliverables.

Since we have been working with Klient boost our month over month traffic has been steadily increasing with a steady increase of inbound leads.

How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

I have worked with probably 4 or 5 different KlientBoost representatives each of who specializes in a different thing. There has been Chris our account manager and PPC specialist, Aaron who manages creative and web design, Benjamin who manages SEO, and a few others for one-off projects.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?

Since we hired KlientBoost We are rank 1 on several keywords that have led directly to demo requests. We have also had a steady growth in website traffic due to these efforts.

Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timelines.

Klientboost has been great at managing our expectations and meeting deadlines, even when they are super last minute and I keep thinking they are going to push back. They don’t.

I have bi weekly meeting with Chris, my account manager, to make sure everything is on track and to plan out the following weeks. Everyone on the team is quick to respond back via email and even quicker on Asana, their project management system.

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

Their level of professionalism and overall knowledge within the marketing industry is impressive. What has stood out more is how well they treat us a customer, willing to bend over backwards to help us out on last-minute projects with no push back at all or helping us with one off projects that weren’t specified in the contract but were out of our scope internally. These guys really go above and beyond

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

Not that I can think of at the moment, no.

Having a local office in Australia may be handy, just for the odd occasion we needed to chat with someone when the time difference was a little off... nut not a big deal.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the marketing director for a global e-commerce business headquartered in Austin, Texas and with offices in Spain, Australia and Canada.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire KlientBoost, and what were your goals?

KlientBoost was brought on board to manage Google AdWords for our eight e-commerce websites. Our goal was to get our ROAS (return on ad spend) above a 3.0 as it was below a 2.0 when they started.

SOLUTION

How did you select KlientBoost and what were the deciding factors?

KlientBoost was recommended to us, but it was the effort they put into showing us that they are driven, communicative and experts in their field that won us over.

Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and campaigns.

We have dozens of campaigns over eight e-commerce websites running at any given time, so it's almost impossible to go into detail with everything, but most of their projections involve:

keyword & placement research, managing multi-channel PPC networks, ongoing PPC auditing, competitor research, ad split testing, conversion review, proper audience targeting, keyword & geo granularity, bid management execution and analytics reporting.

How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

Typically, I work with three people from KlientBoost, including: the Director of Agency Development, our Account Manager, and the Director of eCommerce

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?

Our top goal for any campaign that we run is always to ensure that our return on ad spend is sufficient enough (for us, at least a 3.0) to justify the expenditure. It was a long-term goal, but KlientBoost has been able to help us achieve that goal this year.

Because we measure results on at least a monthly basis, they're able to test for a sufficient period of time but not long enough to do any financial harm if the campaign doesn't succeed, and then adjust as needed.

This speed has allowed us to take small but measured steps toward our goal, which we've now surpassed.

Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timelines.

Our KlientBoost reps report to us on a monthly basis via a Zoom call so we can walk through all of the numbers and discuss campaign successes and any shortcomings that we need to address for the next month. It's important to note that while we meet monthly, they are open to meeting as often or as little as we want.

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

Good communication is key for any team, especially marketing professionals - it's what we live and breathe all day.

So for KlientBoost to take the initiative for regular reporting (as frequently as we request) and to be so transparent with all of the data (even when it's not exactly what we'd all hoped for) has made this an ideal working relationship.

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

Originally the company reps were waiting for my team and me to be more proactive with them, but they quickly realized that we are tapped out on bandwidth, and they started reaching out to us in advance of standard deadlines.

Like all relationships, it just took a little time for them to fully understand how they could best serve us, which they've done well ever since.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the Market Manager of Kaliber Global who manages a few of our emerging DTC e-commerce retail stores that sell toys in the US. My role is to grow our DTC sites that builds up our brand further and expand sales through our own Shopify channels.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire KlientBoost?

The company has been around for 8 years and sales has been strong on Amazon, therefore we would like to start growing our own channel to scale up and expand sales, as well as to build more brand recognition and awareness.

What were your goals for this project?

On the advertising end, our goal is to expand sales as much as possible with a viable yet still profitable ROAS goal, thus to scale up further. On the CRO side of things, our website still has a lot of room for optimization to boost up conversion rate, the goal there is to test different landing pages and apply the ones with best conversion results.

SOLUTION

How did you select KlientBoost?

As mentioned we run a small business here - our CEO has different reliable contacts and referrals within some close business groups and partners, who often comes up with recommendations only if they find success working with the company. KB is one of those got recommended.

Goals have been defined clearly and onboarding has been smooth as well, besides from actual deliverables, organized project management and groundwork/expectation set up are essential for small businesses like us.

Describe the scope of their work in detail.

They managed two different brands for us for Google ads and Conversion Rate Optimization/Landing Page testing. Onboarding was smooth and expectation has been set early on.

Advertising plan, budget, ROAS goals are aligned and delivered - we did have some challenges scaling up but it's still early on the account, therefore we aligned that ROAS is still the major goal to keep up, and it has been well maintained so that we can stay on the profitable side on this ad platform.

What was the team composition?

We have a main account manager handling Google Ads, and another manager handling CRO.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Our ad spend has a 74% increase while ROAS has a 60% improvement - as much as we would love to grow even quicker, this is a probably a healthier and steady growth for our platform.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

Weekly meetings have been precise and on point, and updates are being tracked on Asana. We recently also set up Slack so communications should even be more effective and instant when needed.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

Goals achievement. We are quite happy with the results so far. On top of that, they do go beyond the scope at times and give us suggestions on other aspects that helps with marketing and sales overall.

Are there any areas for improvement?

I hope there would be support on Feed management - this can probably improve ads performance even more with closer monitoring and optimization, but I understand KB has been expanding their service constantly, so hopefully this will be something we can look forward to after the busy holiday season.

How did you select KlientBoost?

We went through a few different agencies and settled on one that felt less rigid and more like our own team members.

Describe the scope of their work in detail.

What was the team composition?

Our digital marketing manager owns the relationship with support from our social media manager. They interact with our account manager weekly and fold in management on a monthly and quarterly basis.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Our success is based on new roll outs and continued optimization from our learnings. Overall the KB team has gotten to know our product and audience better so that they can support our digital marketing efforts. This has led to stronger launches with faster ROI.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

While it does take a minute to get synced with new personalities (like all teams), the KlientBoost family is very tuned in to our needs and are willing to adapt to their customers. For us, creative wasn't a big need but expertise in platforms was, we were able to establish this workflow appropriately over the start up process for an ongoing positive team dynamic.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

I really appreciate the fact that their business model is essentially month to month. They want to make sure they are working for their customers and that shows. As a company that needs flexibility, this was a huge selling point and a clear indication that they do care about their customer base and wanting to keep them versus a bottom line.

Are there any areas for improvement?

No, we've been very happy with our service, communication and output.
