OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire SEO Experts India, and what were your goals?

Because we cannot advertise on any social media channels we have to rely on organic search. We hired them to improve our organic search results.

SOLUTION

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

When I researched SEO companies in India their's was #1 on the organic search so I figured they had to be good.

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

They performed keyword research and have gone into the backend of the site and added many, many keywords. They also compose 2 blogs a month full of keywords and also blogs for back links. I also get a very detailed report at the end of each month.

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

I have 2-3 people working with me writing blogs and doing research.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Since we began in October 21 we have seen a dramatic difference in page placement for various keywords. SEO is a slow process but I am very happy with the results

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

They are very good with communication, I receive at least an email each week with new blog posts or reports

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

I like how they keep communicating and keep me up to date on everything they do. I have had other companies where I had no idea where my money was going as I never heard a word or saw a report. SEO Experts of India are very professional in that regard.

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

Sometimes I have to revise the blog posts quite a bit as the person who may be writing it is not that proficient in English. However this is not that big of a problem as the hard part has been done in coming up with the subject material.

With no keywords appearing on leading search engines, our website’s previously poor position was preventing industry clearance leads.

Along with the overall construction of their site, I saw the fields that they were involved in and felt that they were the perfect choice.

BACKGROUND

I am the chief executive officer of a small branding agency in California. We focus on the healthcare and hospitality industries and have about 10 employees. We help medical organizations with their traditional and digital PR and advertising efforts.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

I needed an SEO partner to help me on important projects. They also optimize my website to help us gain new paying clients.

SOLUTION

I have worked with SEO Experts India for about two years. I trusted a personal referral and decided to hire them. They only perform SEO work. 

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

I recommend SEO Experts India. They do a solid job of pushing my website forward. I've worked with other bad agencies that got me Google penalties. SEO Experts India has avoided Google penalties when building helpful links.

They are a good company and are very consistent. They communicate with me quite well and are polite. It can take a long time to get ranked for certain keywords and we've had communication issues before. In conclusion, they are technically proficient and will get your site ranked with time.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

Our firm specializes in criminal and family law. We have 9 attorneys as well as several staff members. I am the operations manager of the firm. The marketing aspect of my job is to participate in creating lead generation for all of our attorneys.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with SEO Experts India?

Our goal is to reach the first page of Google results for attorney services in our geographic area. We practice in the Oregon area and have very strong SEO for our city at this point, but are working on other cities within our state.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

SEO Experts India is providing 2 different managers for our work, 1 for SEO and 1 for site development, including coding, content, and design. SEO Experts India has designed a few websites for us from scratch.

How did you come to work with SEO Experts India?

SEO Experts India was selected before I started working for the company, so I couldn't answer that.

How much have you invested with SEO Experts India?

The cost of our SEO work is around $750 per month. We undergo a lot of development, so the cost varies from month to month. The yearly cost of SEO Experts India's services is between $10,000 and $50,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We have an ongoing project with SEO Experts India for creating unique websites for different cities within our state with localized content. The project had started before I came to the company, 1 year ago [in 2015], so I'm not sure what the start date was. SEO Experts India is also in charge of maintaining of our main website.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Could you share any evidence that would demonstrate the productivity, quality of work, or the impact of the engagement?

One of the most powerful statistics in terms of SEO has been the ability to specify actual client conversions and the return on investment they've brought. Besides direct referrals, the SEO and quality content on our website has been the main channel for new clients. None of our other online activities – in terms of directory listings and advertising – have such a direct return on investment.

One of our local websites showed up on page 10 of results before we started to focus on its SEO. Within a few months, it was already on page 2. I was impressed with the speed of its progress.

How did SEO Experts India perform from a project management standpoint?

SEO Experts India has an excellent balance between development skills and clear communication. SEO Experts India has listened to our requests and kept a good grasp on design. There are different aspects and departments of our marketing work, which I've found to be superior in SEO Experts India's case.

What did you find most impressive about SEO Experts India?

SEO Experts India's communication skills stood out the most to me. It's stereotypical that technical people be less skilled in terms of communication, but SEO Experts India has both areas covered.

Are there any areas SEO Experts India could improve?

Nothing comes to mind. In time, SEO Experts India has gained a better awareness of what we're facing in our specific business and city as far as laws and regulations go, giving us better suggestions for the future.

What tips or recommendations could you share that might increase the likelihood of success with SEO Experts India?

The more a client can communicate exactly what they're looking for, the more SEO Experts India will be able to provide.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I am the owner of a corporate commercial photography firm based in Las Vegas, Nevada. We work all over the country and outside of it, occasionally. The company has no full-time employees at the moment, other than myself. Whenever I need help with my work, I regularly use several contractors on a 1099 arrangement. I also have a contractor in charge of my bookkeeping and invoicing. I've owned a commercial studio for about 20 years, but gave it up as the nature of the business changed and I no longer required it. I now do my marketing, post-production, billing and other work out of my home office. I do not entertain clients nor shoot photography at home, unless it's for small products. Almost all of the work is done outside, on location.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with SEO Experts India?

Until the Internet became the main vehicle for generating business, I was still using display ads in the Yellow Pages. I was also nurturing a network of clients who provided me with a lot of business. I still get the occasional client by referral but, for the most part, most of my business is generated through online searches for the services I provide. I have hired SEO Experts India to manage this.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

SEO Experts India's name says it all. The work is strictly SEO and web presence management; the website was designed by me. Because I'm not a very technically-fluent person, I'm more interested in the results and potential than in the SEO process itself. We are utilizing a 5-keyword program offered by SEO Experts India, but I am discussing the possibility of increasing it.

How did you come to work with SEO Experts India?

I responded to an online solicitation I received from SEO Experts India. I have received other offers and have investigated other groups. I liked SEO Experts India's presentation, so we went back and forth with some communication. I had some questions about what they did and how they would proceed, but I decided to give it a go since the work would not require a long-term contractual obligation on my part.

How much have you invested with SEO Experts India?

The cost of SEO Experts India's services is around $2,500 per year. We pay a monthly fee.

What is the status of this engagement?

We have been working with SEO Experts India for about 1 year. The collaboration is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Could you share any evidence that would demonstrate the productivity, quality of work, or the impact of the engagement?

I can only measure my results by the number of inquiries we get. SEO Experts India's service results in our getting calls about our services from clients who find us online. I have very few local clients in Southern Nevada; most of them come from out-of-state for corporate events. Before they come here, if they need a photographer or video services—both of which we provide —they usually type in something like "Las Vegas photographer." SEO Experts India's job is to put me on the first page of results. I do not use paid ads but I am still often within the first page, which I attribute to the efforts that SEO Experts India is making.

How did SEO Experts India perform from a project management standpoint?

I receive regular progress reports from SEO Experts India around what they're doing specifically.

I've had a couple of issues with SEO Experts India. I’ve called into question some things about their service, to which the team responded politely and almost immediately. The explanations have been easy to understand, with the consideration that I am approaching SEO as a layman. SEO Experts India has always addressed my concerns and seems to be hands-on in the maintenance of my account.

What did you find most impressive about SEO Experts India?

I've never met SEO Experts India's team personally, but they've responded to my questions quickly and politely. The service has been good for me and has improved my Internet presence. When I started working with SEO Experts India, I was getting no inquiries whatsoever because I had no Internet presence at all. The only purpose my website was serving as a gallery of my work. If client A referred client B to my business, the website could help them determine if I could do the kind of work they were looking for.

Are there any areas SEO Experts India could improve?

SEO Experts India has always taken my comments seriously, and they've succeeded in optimizing my search engine performance. I cannot vouch for their level of ethical compliance with industry best practices though, because I don't know enough about this. I have a tech-savvy friend who used to work as a programmer but is now in the photography industry. I have had him perform some searches as if he was a potential client for a photographer in my area. He warned me that he found some junk links. I immediately forwarded that information to SEO Experts India. They responded quickly and started removing them. My friend warned me that too many black hat links will result in my being kicked off of Google's results, as it is the Internet equivalent of false or manipulated referrals.

In most cases, SEO Experts India has denied responsibility for placing black hat links. It’s as if the process is somehow inherent in the Internet's activity in general and beyond anyone's control. I'm not sure how much truth there is to that. Without even knowing it, I could be a step away from getting bumped down to page 5 by Google for the black hat link activity we've been talking about. I could and should be making some research about this since it could devastate my business, but I've got some bigger fires to put out.

BACKGROUND

I work for a small accounting firm in Melbourne, Australia. I am the principal and director. I am responsible for running the company. 

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

We needed better organic Google search results to drive more business.

SOLUTION

The project included organic SEO [search engine optimization] work on my two websites and AdWords campaigns as well. The work is ongoing with no plans to terminate. I found SEO Experts from a newspaper article about their services. I decided to shortlist them, and we spoke by phone.

I liked their transparency and honest approach to SEO. They didn't cut corners or promise too much. They were also reasonably priced and very flexible. They were willing to listen to our requirements and change when we wanted.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

We feel like we made the correct decision to hire SEO Experts. We have seen an improvement in Google search results. They covered the scope of work and deliverables in the budget. They were always responsive and responded to my questions rather quickly considering the time difference.

I really think their honest approach to SEO sets them apart from other SEO firms. They also are experts with organic SEO and made noticeable improvements. I am pretty happy with their services provided so far and have no major complaints. I am very likely to recommend SEO Experts because they provide a fantastic service at a great price.

The work is ongoing with no plans to stop. You must keep up with SEO work since the online landscape is constantly changing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

They got me on the first page of Google within a month and a half.

Is there anything unique about them that really makes them stand out, compared to other companies?

The cost is low for the services I am receiving.

Looking back on the work so far, is there any area that you think they could improve upon or something that you might do differently?

No. They’re doing a stellar job all around. I’ve already recommended them to other people.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company.

We have 71 hotels in six countries. This location is a small inn in Spain that is family run.

I am one of the owners and manage the inn.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What was your goal for working with SEO Experts?

We wanted to drive traffic and get good results within a reasonable amount of time as well as gain top positions in Google, Bing, and Yahoo. We're trying to get bookings and traffic through our website to increase customers and revenue. 

SOLUTION

Please describe the scope of their work.

All of their work involves organic SEO [search engine optimization]. They give insight on what else to work on. They create the pages for us. They do content on the page itself. We have good discussions as well to recap their progress. Normally before, the companies we've used have done their stuff without trying to analyze if we're going the right way or if we should change any strategies or anything else.

What was your process for selecting SEO Experts with which to work?

They provided a really good proposal. They were really honest. They didn't say it was going to take a short time to achieve. The price was really reasonable as well.

Can you provide a ballpark dollar figure for the size of the work that they've done for you?

It's well below $10,000 a year. 

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the results of the project?

Their team took time to meet with us and went out of their way to tell us if we're moving in the right direction and if we're using the right keywords. Then, they offered more keywords for us that would bring more traffic or cover other areas that we're not covering at the moment. I would say of all the companies I love these guys. In four years, I've tried many companies from Spain, the U.K., and India. SEO Experts are really brilliant. I highly recommend them. I think they're really amazing.  

Do you have any statistics or metrics to track improvement from the project?

I don't have stats, but I am satisfied. The guys working there are really pleasant and really helpful. I had a lot of companies to choose from, but I chose them because they know what they're doing. I liked their customer approach. They are extremely helpful.

Is there anything unique about them that really makes them stand out compared to other companies?

In the last four years, I've tried quite a few SEO companies, and I would say that these guys are probably the best ones we have so far. They've been really amazing giving brief explanations about the work and the time spent and everything else; within a day, which is really quick, they increased our traffic with our views and gave suggestions on what to do and what to improve. Normally, it takes quite a few days to get any information from anybody.

Other firms pay people to do what they need to do, but they're not doing anything behind the scenes. SEO Experts has a connection with us and they come up with new stuff for the site.

Looking back on the work so far, is there any area that you think they could improve upon or something that you might do differently?

I can't think of anything to mention.
