I've been working with Optiweb since 2021, and their expertise in SEO and backlink building has been instrumental in improving my website's search rankings, organic traffic, and overall online presence. From the beginning, their team demonstrated a deep understanding of search engine algorithms and implemented a well-structured strategy tailored to my business needs. Their on-page SEO optimizations, including meta tag improvements, internal linking, and technical fixes, have significantly enhanced my site's performance. Additionally, their backlink-building efforts have helped secure high-quality links from authoritative websites, boosting my domain authority and credibility.

Since partnering with Optiweb in 2021, I’ve seen measurable success through significant improvements in my website’s search rankings, including key target keywords reaching the first page of search results, a marked increase in organic traffic with year-over-year growth, higher domain authority thanks to strategic backlink-building, better user engagement with reduced bounce rates and longer session durations, improved conversion rates driven by more qualified leads, and better keyword performance with long-tail keywords consistently climbing the rankings, all of which have led to a substantial boost in my online visibility and overall business growth.

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

Optiweb demonstrated excellent project management throughout our collaboration. They consistently delivered items on time, adhering to agreed timelines for each phase of the project.

Whenever I had questions or required updates, they were prompt in providing detailed responses and suggestions. Additionally, they proactively kept me informed of progress through regular reports and meetings, making sure I was aware of key milestones, results, and next steps.

If any challenges arose, Optiweb was quick to address them with thoughtful solutions, ensuring that the project stayed on track without major disruptions.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

OptiWeb Marketing's work has improved over time, and the website works properly. The team has fixed issues that have come up. I had initially written a negative review. However, OptiWeb Marketing has come around and improved. We have a decent working relationship now.

How did OptiWeb Marketing perform from a project management standpoint?

When I started working with OptiWeb Marketing, it was extremely difficult to communicate with them. The team made mistakes and didn't answer my questions. The team didn't provide follow-through and didn't perform the course of action we had agreed on. 
Now, OptiWeb Marketing is responsive and answers my questions. The team makes changes when needed and works pretty quickly. We typically communicate via email, but I prefer phone calls. OptiWeb Marketing has started answering phone calls, which is good.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Didn't even deliver the selected website. I chose my website from a list provided in June; I confirmed it again two weeks ago as it got ready to go live. I get a message we are going live with a website that I DID NOT chose, in fact it was a dormant site of mine that I specifically instructed him to relinquish.

I tell Brad Sacks, the owner and the person I deal with, that I was going to put an ad in. At the deadline I get an email that the wrong address was live. I had to change the ad to read "website under construction." While he claimed "someone" would fix it I could not trust that the site I chose was actually available.

I specifically asked for marketing expertise. Twice when I asked opinions I was told "It's up to you..." I told him that I wanted an opinion. I asked him about the content and he said "it's fine." It was not in any final form, it was disorganized and I wanted his opinion on what to fix. In no universe was the content at that point "fine."

So many more: There was a page where no matter what I did I could not get paragraph breaks on the view page. When the wrong website went live nothing was changed. No feedback, no acknowledgement. Simply ghosted.

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

Communication was only by email. Emails almost never got a response. But worse, there was almost never any follow up. I was never given a direct number to call or text. I got no feedback of any significant kind - positive, negative or anything of substance.

I requested a phone conversation when i saw that there was almost no follow up. It was either missed, simply blown off, or rescheduled several times. Twice within minutes of the scheduled time. When I finally got a phone conversation. I got a lot of promises and the questions that I collected from past emails were mostly answered. However, moving forward nothing changed.

There was no reply to any email, no follow-up on emails. There was no written plan even in point form, no timeline...It was clear that he did not keep a list of questions or tasks. I had to repeatedly look at old emails to cut and paste questions. Not one phone call was returned without several emails in which I had to go more and more ballistic.

I have only given the larger examples. I have a collection of more minor issues that were entirely blown off. In the end I just said I would not do his job any more by collecting my own sent messages: I told him to let me know if there was an email that he did not understand.

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

I wish I could find a positive. The final product is passable.

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

I got the sense that I did not rate at all. It was a project under 5k - a relatively small amount of money and it was abundantly clear that he had not organized the tasks, questions and issues.

Have regular phone meetings to discuss deliverables and progress on a periodic basis. Respond to emails in a timely manner Follow up on tasks or explain why tasks have not been completed Return phone calls Make a master list of decisions, questions and issues and use it to track progress on resolving these including reasonable turnaround times.

I did not request feedback on professional information but did request feedback on organization and clarity. I got nothing beyond "it's up to you..." or "it's fine."
