Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the owner of a local plumbing and construction company.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

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

We started a sister company focusing on plumbing services in Florida. The new company had a small website and no social profiles or local presence. We were not showing up in search results. I hired NewReputation to take over website design and SEO to help increase our local GMB listing and get more calls.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

I had a consultation with them after finding them online. The manager was very knowledgeable and understood exactly what we were looking for. I liked that I was able to contact him directly and that made a big difference. The reason I was looking for a new company was that previously I was getting a different person every time I called. I never had that issue with NewReputation.

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

The campaign began with a website redesign. The new website they built was great. They design was very user friendly and they handled all the content as well. Next, they set up our local business listing on all company directory websites. This helped us show up under local searches. Then they set up all of our social media profiles.

We only focused on the major social websites and they set up postings for the first 30 days on automation. Then they set up Google Guaranteed ads and the phone started ringing immediately. Now that some time has passed, we are able to scale down our PPC budget and focus on SEO leads as we rank on the first page for great search terms.

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

I worked with 2 people from their team. The manager who I spoke with directly and the service manager who sent me the reporting and updates.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

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

The dean of and a member of the Board of Directors of our university was featured in a publication that was fabricated and a personal attack. The remarks were made without merit and I did not have a voice to share the correct story. The public was only made aware of the point of view of a journalist with ulterior motives.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

I made several call to a variety of "reputation" firms and interviewed each. I had specific requests that needed to be met and a budget in mind. This is a project that I decided to outsource due to the inexperience of our internal team and our lack of time and resources. I met with NewReputation several times over the course of 3 weeks and then made our decision to proceed.

Describe the scope of their work in detail, including any steps and the final deliverables.

NewReputation provided weekly reporting on the project and I had a virtual meeting monthly to discuss the results. The reporting was very detailed and included all the work that was done and everything scheduled in advance. They provided a content schedule to reach new media outlets to enhance our visibility and replace the false information with new information about the initiatives.

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

I met with a campaign manager who was the main contact for their team. I received the weekly reporting from their customer manager. These are the only people that I met with and they received deliverables from a social media advisor and content writer.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The campaign was successful and they achieved positive results. I was not sure what to expect but I am happy with all of the new information and the channels they used to distribute the content.

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

The reporting was done with Google Documents. This was easy to manage and we both had access to it so it was easy to make any changes. Most of the communication was done through email and Zoom.

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

They located unique ways to gain new media attention. We were looking for a company with an established rolodex and some contacts. They were honest with the contacts they currently had and were confident they would be able to make new contacts in our specific industry. I was delighted they found some influential outlets. Overall I think they made this process a lot easier to be able to outsource this project and still keep track of everything that was being done.

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

I would have liked to have met in person as it was difficult to get everyone on the call and it often dropped. I also wish the results would have been quicker.

Excellent communication between the campaign manager and our executives.
