BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I'm the communications and fundraising team lead at The Baytree Centre.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Passion Digital?

We wanted to increase our brand awareness, engagement, and web traffic. As a charity, we have a Google Ad Grants account, which gives us a certain amount of money per month to use in Google Ads. However, we needed someone to manage those ads.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Passion Digital helps us with our Google Ads management, which includes providing analytics. Still, besides the PPC work, they've also provided us with SEO consultancy. When we first started working with them, we were in the process of setting up our Google Ads account. Given that it was a complicated process, they were consistently on a call with us to guide us through the initial stages.

Once the account was set up, Passion Digital started managing it completely. By that time, they had already been working for us as volunteers for many years, so they didn't really need to know anything new about us; the onboarding was very simple.

Before our paid engagement, Passion Digital came in to do workshops on topics like brand awareness, marketing, and SEO many times over the years. At some point, they analyzed our whole website and gave me feedback on what to change in order to gain more traction and traffic, as well as for the SEO to be more effective.

What is the team composition?

We work with Freddie (Senior Account Manager), who initially helped me with the Google Ads account. I also work with Euan (Junior Paid Media Executive).

How did you come to work with Passion Digital?

We're local to them. Given that we're a charity, they volunteered to help us many years ago; that's how we originally met them. Their team contacted us because they wanted to support a charity that aligned with their ethics and values. After some time, we started working with them on our Google Ads as a paid engagement.

How much have you invested with them?

We spend under $10,000 per year.

What is the status of this engagement?

Although we've known Passion Digital for many years, our paid engagement started in August 2023, and it is ongoing. We recently signed our second yearly contract.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We've had a really fruitful collaboration with Passion Digital over the years. One of their representatives has even become the career champion for our girls, so we have something bigger than a basic working relationship.

Their work has exceeded our expectations regarding the web traffic we're now getting. Thanks to them, we've seen a 70% increase in web traffic. Since we launched the campaign to promote our donations page, we've also seen a big increase in donations, and we've only started with that specific campaign recently.

These results are great, but we also have to consider that once we started working with Passion Digital as a paid service, we also changed our website architecture, style, brand, colors, pictures, and content. Therefore, Google Ads aren't entirely responsible for these results.

How did Passion Digital perform from a project management standpoint?

Passion Digital delivers on time and on budget, and they communicate really well with us. They're always on time for our monthly meetings, and they show us a full analysis report. If I request any additional data, they send it to me quite quickly. We use Microsoft Teams and Outlook email to communicate.

Are there any employees from the service provider's team that you would like to give a shout-out to in this review?

I don't want to give a shout-out to just one teammate from Passion Digital. We work with many teammates, and the whole team is great.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Passion Digital is very professional in everything they do. The clarity of their analyses and reports is something I really appreciate and find very helpful. Overall, the way they present their work is very good and clear.

Are there any areas they could improve?

We have a quite specific collaboration, and it's working really well, so I don't think there's something for Passion Digital to improve.

Do you have any advice for future clients of theirs?

Know your objectives. Passion Digital can help you deliver if you have specific instructions for them. Still, if you don't know your objectives, they also have a department that will help you find them. They're an agency that has everything you might need, whether you know your goals, need help with the strategy, or need to understand your unique selling points. Passion Digital can help you in every stage of the project.

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

Our brief for Passion Digital was initially to assist us with our ongoing SEO strategy. This included on-site and offsite SEO, technical SEO, international SEO, outreach and link building. They have conducted a website audit and listed technical SEO improvements we can make. They are also working on optimising several key website pages each month. We now also have an additional UI/UX project and an international SEO/localisation project planned.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Passion Digital have sent over several on-page website updates which we have been implementing, this includes content updates and technical SEO suggestions. This is all still ongoing but so far we have seen positive results in ranking positions and traffic share for the pages that have been optimised.

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

Our account manager Eddy and the team at Passion have been very responsive to our requests and are always on hand to answer any questions or queries we have. They manage our project well and our monthly deliverables are always delivered on time.

What was your primary form of communication with Passion Digital Ltd.?

• In-Person Meeting
• Virtual Meeting

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

We have a strong marketing team so we required an agency that would work alongside us and our values, rather than just for us. We have found this with Passion, the team are great and always very responsive and helpful answering our questions. We can have some specific requests and requirements but they always seem willing and on hand to help.

Are there any areas for improvement or something Passion Digital Ltd. could have done differently?

We felt the project started quite slowly, we were very keen to start working on the findings and updates from the audit but we needed some specific actions from Passion. However, as soon as we raised this they did send over the actions and we now feel everything is managed and organised well.

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

Passion were hired to increase traffic to one of our direct to consumer websites through SEO. Work covered on-page SEO, technical SEO, off-site SEO and content. Deliverables included keyword research, recommendations, blog content and link building.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Changes in keyword ranking, traffic to the site from search and conversions from search were tracked.

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

Items were delivered on time but initially, there were some issues with work being sent to us that had not been checked and involved too much of our input before changes could be implemented on our site. In recent months, they did not respond to our needs - several questions were left unanswered having been raised a few times. In the last month they did not deliver the full scope or final deliverables. Their projections for off-site SEO were not met.

What was your primary form of communication with Passion Digital Ltd.?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

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

We negotiated specific terms when we signed our initial contract. When the contract was due to be renewed these terms had been changed without discussing this with us. We've never had this with another agency so that's unique. Eventually the terms were changed but we knew then that there wouldn't be a long-term relationship with Passion.

Are there any areas for improvement or something Passion Digital Ltd. could have done differently?

Passion could have been honest when attempting to change contract terms rather than adding them in without discussing with us. They could have responded to questions we had in the months before we handed in our notice and they should have worked the number of days we paid for in the final month.

Company Responses

The vendor responded on July 6, 2023.

Thank you for sharing your concerns.

At Passion, we strive to offer the highest level of service to all clients, and we regret that we didn't meet your expectations. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by some mistakes in copy and for missing a piece of information on a handover. We understand how important it is to ensure that the work meets your requirements, and that is why we apologized and rectified the issue immediately.

We also recognise the importance of meeting projections for SEO. The organic results have all been fantastic and we aimed to even submit an award for it. Some results of our work below.
•    Generic clicks increased from 92,500 in May 2022 to 322,900 in April 2023 (249% increase)
•    Organic transactions increased by 250% in the same time period
•    Organic sessions increased by 280% in the same time period
•    DA improved from 9 to 16 with link building activity between Dec22 and May23

Regarding the changes in the contract, we apologize for any confusion caused. We changed our master services agreement with standard terms across the board with all clients, our intention wasn't to change the terms without prior communication with you but send it over for your approval. We value transparency, and we understand the importance of being clear and upfront in our dealings.

Finally, we are sorry that we have been late delivering the last of the work for our last month, but our intention was (and still is, despite this damaging review) to fulfill the hours and send the last deliverable to you. I’ve chatted with the team and we aren't aware of any unanswered questions, but we’ll be happy to answer if any have been missed.

We appreciate your feedback and will use it to improve our services.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m a manager for a fintech company; we refinance existing credit. I’m responsible for our SEO tracking and attribution efforts and any marketing channels related to Google Ads.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Passion Digital Ltd.?

We engaged Passion Digital Ltd. to provide expert insights into our Google Ads efforts. We’d tried many things, and our growth was plateauing, so we wanted to consult with a second pair of eyes.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Passion Digital Ltd. has revamped our strategy for YouTube display ad campaigns. They started by carrying out an extensive audit. Then, they recommended different ways to test and implement their suggestions. They also worked on our placement and helped us rethink our campaign structure. 

What is the team composition?

We worked with Freddie (PPC Account Manager). 

How did you come to work with Passion Digital Ltd.?

We found them online. They seemed knowledgeable, so we decided to engage them.

How much have you invested with them?

We spent around £5,000 (approximately $6,000 USD).

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked together throughout January 2023.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

I’m very satisfied with the work Passion Digital Ltd. delivered. They were very thorough and looked through different areas within our account, which was good.

How did Passion Digital Ltd. perform from a project management standpoint?

Passion Digital Ltd. delivered everything on time and within budget. They communicated effectively overall. There was an instance where they took days off without communicating with us, but it didn’t affect the project. We had weekly calls and kept in touch via email. Freddie was very helpful. Whenever we had questions, he was willing to elaborate and provide additional information as needed.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Passion Digital Ltd. was very knowledgeable, and I was impressed with their expertise. The team was also really nice, and we had a good experience working with them. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

We asked for a preliminary audit before engaging them, and the salesperson was defensive during this process. They wanted us to pay for the preliminary audit, which we weren’t expecting, so they could’ve been clearer during the sales process. 

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Be clear about your goals and define your deliverables.

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

The brief for our SEO audit in particular was to ensure key word opportunities and content were not being missed since the original creation and progression of the site 3 years ago to date.

From the very beginning Passion was dedicated to ensuring a highly cost effective and timeous process enabling us to gain answers and implement soonest.

They are quick to respond and proactive in getting problems solved.

No, none at this point in time.
