BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the COO of mindfulknits.store. We manufacture and sell knitting kits, crochet kits, and cotton and acrylic yarn for knitters and crocheters worldwide to promote the health benefits of these activities.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with SEO Discovery?

We needed help with our SEO.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

SEO Discovery helps us with our SEO efforts. We plan the deliverables for each month, which can include articles, videos, slideshows, and blog posts. Before publishing anything, we proofread, edit, and approve the content. As for videos specifically, they create one animated video each quarter, which is usually around 2–3 minutes long.

SEO requires certain features in websites that ours didn’t have. Thus, SEO Discovery initially recommended some changes to our website. They made the small tweaks themselves with my approval, and our own team made the bigger changes that required development work with SEO Discovery’s guidance.

What is the team composition?

During the first year of our engagement, we typically worked with two people: a project manager and a developer. Now, we work with 3–4 people from SEO Discovery.

How did you come to work with SEO Discovery?

I found SEO Discovery through web research. They were rated as one of the top 50 SEO companies in India, and as I’m from India and I know the situation out there, I decided to call them. They explained their approach to SEO, and we discussed a rate for their services. When we were both on the same page, I hired them.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve invested about $15,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working around October 2019, and our engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

In the past two weeks, we’ve had 576 new users on our website. As for ROI, our sales volume has increased by approximately 250% since October 2019. I don’t attribute these numbers entirely to SEO Discovery’s work, but they’ve definitely helped. They offer excellent value for the money, so I’m 100% satisfied with their services.

How did SEO Discovery perform from a project management standpoint?

SEO Discovery has done a great job keeping everything on schedule and staying within budget. They use a project management site, where they put the plan and deliverables for each month. Additionally, they send us a bi-weekly email with a link to the dashboard that shows the progress of their work. We’re also in contact with the project manager and the developer via Slack, and we have video calls through Skype.

What did you find most impressive about them?

I really like that SEO Discovery’s team members are very serious about their jobs. The people I’ve interacted with are very qualified and knowledgeable about their areas of expertise, and they’re very responsive as well.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I don’t know how realistic my expectations were, but I was expecting to appear on the first page of search results with generic search terms a little bit faster. However, I know it is a difficult thing to achieve. Thus, I would only advise SEO Discovery to try to get their customers to the first page of Google for generic search terms faster.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Don’t give up and stick to the engagement for the long term. SEO Discovery does their work, but you also need to do work on your own so that you can get results.

I’m the sales director for the Builder Merchant Group. We’re a national organization, providing timber and building materials across the U.K.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with SEO Discovery?

We initially approached them to handle our SEO for our website but have expanded their role to include paid search and social media. Our goal was to land on the first page of Google for all of our keywords.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

After auditing our site, they helped us research and identify keywords to target and modified our site to be more SEO compliant. Their current core role is to oversee our organic keywords, but they also handle our AdWords account and manage our social media. We suggest the topics, and they generate the content and post it. Occasionally, we have them push a product, so they capture the images, conduct research, and write the text.

We’re typically in contact with our account manager.

We found them on the internet and tried them out for a month. They did a good job, so we never looked back.

Their work started in 2016 and is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Thanks to their digital marketing strategies, our e-commerce business is booming. We have one of the biggest online presence for building materials in the U.K. Every week, they provide an in-depth report for all of our keywords, AdWords, and social media. They’ve managed to get us to the top ranking for nearly all of our targeted terms, and they’ve maintained a strong cost-per-click ratio for our AdWords spend. In terms of social media, we didn’t have much of a presence before they came along, but now we get a lot of follower engagement.

How did SEO Discovery perform from a project management standpoint?

They’re very independent and manage their time well. When they give an estimate of how long it will take for a keyword to reach the top spot, they commit to it. And if they don’t meet that goal, then they work on it without charge until they finish. In terms of communication, we typically interface by phone and email. This year, we were able to see them in person. They came over from India, and we were pleased with the meeting.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Beyond increasing our online presence, I appreciate that they have a good understanding of our products. Even though they’re not in the U.K., they’re able to grasp what we do.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I’m not an expert in the field, so I can’t really comment. However, we’re happy with their service.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire SEO Discovery - Guaranteed Results?

We needed SEO for our primary website.

What were your goals for this project?

We wanted to increase our visibility organically.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

We searched for vendors online and found SEO Discovery. We chose them based on a price comparison and user reviews.

Describe the project in detail.

We're very limited from a paid search standpoint, so the task for them was to help us boost brand awareness and increase site traffic organically. We consulted with them and came up with a strategy that focuses on the popular keywords within the industry along with branded keywords that help us accomplish this goal.

What was the team composition?

I communicate directly with their project manager.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any statistics or metrics that speak to the quality of their work and impact of the engagement?

We're focusing on over 20 keywords and are ranking on the first page of results for most of them.

How effective was the project management?

It's essentially just their project manager and I that discuss the project, which streamlines the work and expedites any revisions that need to be made. The process is simple yet extremely effective.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

We’ve been using their services for almost two years and couldn’t be happier. Our organic reach increases on a continual basis and web traffic remains steady. Our industry is highly scrutinized, which limits us in many ways from a paid online advertising perspective, so seeing results like this helps us tremendously. SEO Discovery is highly recommended to anyone in the market for an SEO professional.

Are there any areas for improvement?

We simply can't ask for more for the price we pay each month.
