RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

When we first started working with Sotavento Medios, we experienced a big win when our digital reach skyrocketed. Their SEO team got the new website ranking for terms like "charity donation Philippines," which led to a quick increase in our organic search traffic. But it wasn't just about the numbers. Their social media team helped us gain a lot of new followers who actively engage with our stories. We track those shares and comments because that’s how our message truly spreads. The engagement rates increased significantly, showing that our advocacy resonated with the Philippine community.

For an NGO, the real measure of success is whether we can fund our cause. The team optimized our new site so well that our conversion rate the number of visitors who become donors or contributors experienced a significant jump. That's the progress we were looking for. They also sponsored ad campaigns, and we made sure those ads were efficient and provided a good return on our investment for new funds and contributors. The biggest win, though, was the direct financial impact, especially with Jeremy Lee's personal donation of 3 million Philippine Pesos. That wasn’t just a number; it validated that our story was finally being heard. It was a significant and measurable outcome of their belief in our work.

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

When it came to project management, Sotavento Medios was very professional. Even though this was sponsored, they treated it with importance. Their process was surprisingly efficient. They had a clear plan, defined milestones, and used transparent communication tools, so we always knew where things stood. Everything, including the new website launch, the initial SEO content roll-out, and the social media calendar, was delivered on time, sometimes even early. This speed was crucial for us because, as an NGO, we urgently need to reach people and raise funds. Their commitment to meeting deadlines significantly helped our mission timeline.

What really stood out was their responsiveness to our specific needs as a charitable organization. We weren't just asking for leads; we needed to share a sensitive and compelling story while advocating for a cause. Their team was understanding and very flexible. When we needed to shift a social campaign to focus on an unexpected community event or adjust the website copy to better reflect a new program, they responded quickly and worked with us. They frequently checked in to ensure the message was true to our advocacy. This made it feel less like a client-vendor relationship and more like having a dedicated, organized internal team supporting our cause.

What was your primary form of communication with Sotavento Medios?

• In-Person Meeting
• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

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

Honestly, what impressed me the most, what truly makes Sotavento Medios unique, was the deep commitment they showed. They combined extraordinary generosity with professional execution. It wasn’t just that they sponsored our entire digital presence, providing us with a free website, dedicated SEO, and social media support. It was also the incredible personal investment from the founder, Jeremy Lee, who donated 3 million Philippine Pesos to our cause. 

But what really stood out was their delivery. They didn’t treat this huge pro bono effort as a low-priority favor. Their project management was organized; everything was delivered on time. Their team was always responsive and collaborative. They acted less like a vendor and more like a dedicated, caring internal team fighting for our cause. They are genuine advocates first and exceptional marketers second. That combination is rare and has a lasting impact.

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

no

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

We successfully engaged Sotavento Medios, a specialized Singapore-based SEO agency we discovered online, to handle our search engine optimization strategy. A primary reason for this engagement was their notable affordability, which allowed us to access premium SEO services without overburdening our operational budget. The decision proved to be highly effective, delivering substantial results that significantly exceeded our expectations, culminating in generating over $1 million USD in sales within the first year alone.

Our collaborative efforts with Sotavento Medios are comprehensive, focusing on several key areas to engage with our customer base and build authority. This includes professional press release writing and submission to ensure important company updates reach the public and media effectively. Furthermore, they provide continuous, high-impact SEO services to maintain and improve our visibility across various search engines. This strategic approach has allowed us to acquire a diverse and global clientele, with customers spanning key Asian markets such as Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, Japan, Thailand, and Indonesia, and even extending our reach to locations as distant as Albuquerque, demonstrating the true global impact of the SEO strategy implemented by Sotavento Medios.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The project yielded several significant and measurable outcomes that distinctly demonstrate both progress and success, primarily centered on revenue generation and global market penetration. Most notably, the strategic engagement with the Singapore SEO agency, Sotavento Medios, resulted in an extraordinary financial achievement: we generated over $1 million USD in sales in the first year alone. This figure stands as the clearest quantitative measure of success, validating the affordability and effectiveness of the outsourced SEO and marketing strategy.

Beyond this core revenue metric, the project achieved remarkable success in geographical expansion and customer acquisition. The marketing efforts and SEO services successfully extended our reach across a broad, multi-regional customer base. Measurable progress is demonstrated by securing paying customers in major Asian markets, specifically Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, Japan, Thailand, and Indonesia. Furthermore, the project's success in achieving global reach is proven by acquiring customers in markets as geographically remote as Albuquerque, illustrating the extensive reach and successful execution of the SAAS promotion and content strategy across diverse international and distant territories.

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

The project management approach employed by the agency, Sotavento Medios, was highly structured and efficient, contributing directly to the project's success. Throughout the partnership, they consistently delivered items on time, adhering strictly to the agreed-upon schedules for press release submissions, content creation, and technical SEO implementations. This reliability was crucial in maintaining the momentum of our SAAS promotion and achieving the critical one-year sales goal.

In terms of responsiveness, the agency demonstrated excellent client service by quickly and effectively responding to our needs. Their team was proactive in communication, providing regular updates and reporting on SEO performance metrics. When new requirements or unexpected challenges arose, particularly concerning the localization efforts needed for markets like Japan or Thailand, they were agile in adjusting their strategy and providing tailored solutions. This proactive and adaptable approach ensured that the project remained on track and that our evolving business goals were met without significant delay.

What was your primary form of communication with Sotavento Medios?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

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

What I find most remarkable about Sotavento Medios is the potent combination of their unrivaled SEO expertise and their exceptionally rapid and dedicated response time—a pairing that I believe truly sets them apart as the best SEO agency not just in Singapore, but across Southeast Asia, including the Philippines.

My interactions with their team have consistently shown that they operate at a speed and level of insight that I have simply not encountered with competitors. Their response time is phenomenal, often addressing complex inquiries or implementing critical fixes within hours, not days. This level of immediate and sustained client focus gave me the confidence that my business was not just another number, but a high-priority partnership. It’s this dedication to instant, transparent communication that makes them feel like an extension of my own team, which is a unique and massive advantage in the fast-paced world of digital marketing.

Furthermore, their expertise in SEO is simply superior. They don't rely on generalist strategies; instead, they employ advanced, proprietary methods like their multi-tier link-building approach—which produced tangible, seven-figure results for us. It’s a level of technical depth and strategic foresight that surpasses every other agency I've seen. The fact is, even the well-known agencies in places like Google Philippines simply could not deliver the global and localized market penetration that Sotavento Medios achieved. They possess a nuanced understanding of both the hyper-competitive Singaporean market and the diverse regional dynamics of the Philippines, allowing them to consistently outrank and outperform. When you combine that profound technical skill with their lightning-fast support, you realize why they are truly the top SEO agency in the region.

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

Despite the overwhelming success and the high praise I have for Sotavento Medios, pinpointing areas for improvement is challenging, as the results over $1 million in sales speak powerfully to their effectiveness. However, if I were to think critically about potential areas for refinement in their service delivery, I would focus on the aspects of proactive risk mitigation and long-term knowledge transfer.

While their response time is exceptionally fast when I reach out, a minor area for improvement could be in proactively flagging emerging global or regional market shifts that fall outside of the immediate SEO scope. For instance, in the rapidly changing Asian market, greater foresight and written analysis on things like new platform adoption in the Philippines or unique e-commerce regulations in Indonesia could have allowed us to adjust our product-side roadmap earlier. Although their SEO expertise is top-tier, a more structured and regular briefing on the why behind their technical decisions beyond the daily reports would have been beneficial.

Another point is related to scale and team visibility. Given the CEO's active, traveling lifestyle (a "friendly inconvenience" I've heard mentioned, which speaks to their success!), sometimes having more direct, high-level access to the core strategists who implement the work might be valuable. While their communication is clear, introducing a more consistent, dedicated team member for high-level strategy sessions could further enhance the already phenomenal relationship, ensuring continuity and deeper client-side expertise retention as our company continues its global expansion. This would allow my internal team to better mirror their strategic thinking, making the partnership even stronger and more self-sufficient in the long run.

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

We are absolutely delighted with the exceptional service and tangible results delivered by Sotavento Medios. We initially engaged them in 2022, and their performance has far exceeded our expectations.

• Exceptional SEO Performance

Sotavento Medios delivers precisely what they promise. Starting with a 25-keyword SEO package, their strategic expertise quickly yielded impressive results: we achieved first-page, number one rankings for our corporate website in just about four months. Since then, we have consistently dominated the search engine landscape here in Singapore for the past several years, solidifying our online authority and visibility.

• Responsive Google Ads & Comprehensive Support

Beyond SEO, their team expertly manages our Google Ads and display advertisement campaigns. The responsiveness of the Sotavento Medios team is truly remarkable, living up to their claim as a 24/7 digital marketing partner in Singapore. We deeply appreciate their holistic approach, which is defined by three key factors: their reasonable pricing, their unwavering reliability, and their swift responsiveness.

• Value-Added Services and Commitment

Furthermore, the team goes above and beyond by offering supplementary services, including graphics design for our advertisements and handling our social media marketing and graphic design needs, entirely free of charge. This exceptional value and dedication confirm our view: Sotavento Medios is, quite simply, the best SEO agency in Singapore.

• A Superior Choice

We had previously engaged several other highly-touted SEO agencies in Singapore, but none of them were able to deliver the results or level of service that Sotavento Medios consistently provides.

Flexible and Rewarding Pricing
Their pricing model is extremely favorable. We initially signed up for a six-month commitment, but the quick and compelling results immediately convinced us to upgrade to an annual contract, which also came with a welcome discount for annual payment. This decision reflects our confidence in their long-term value.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

• First-page, number one rankings achieved for the website in search results.
• Success achieved in just about four months after engaging with their SEO package.
• Sustained market domination of the search engine in Singapore for the "past years."
• Successful management and execution of Google Ads and display advertisement campaigns.
• Client conversion from an initial 6-month contract to an annual contract due to satisfaction with the results.

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

First off, let's talk about speed. When you start an SEO project, you expect results to take six months, maybe even a year, right? It's a long game. But these guys? They achieved the most crucial outcome getting us to the first page, number one ranking in just about four months. That is an incredibly fast and successful timeline, proving they can deliver on time, or even ahead of it!

And beyond the initial win, their communication and responsiveness have been top-notch. They are genuinely "very responsive" and absolutely live up to their promise of being a "24/7 digital marketing" team here in Singapore. That level of availability means any issues or questions get immediate attention, which makes supporting the project so much easier on my end.

What sealed the deal for me was how proactive and value-driven they are. Their project management wasn't just about hitting the contract points. They actually reached out and offered to do graphics design for our ads and even handle our social media marketing all of it totally free! That level of commitment to our overall needs, without even being asked, showed me they really care.

Ultimately, I appreciate them because they are reliable and responsive. That translates to a smooth, trustworthy, and professional workflow. Honestly, their project management is simply fast, incredibly responsive, reliable, and proactively beneficial to everything we're trying to achieve with our marketing goals.

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

The most impressive thing about Sotavento Medios, the thing that makes them unique and why I'd absolutely recommend them, is this incredible blend of rapid, proven results and genuinely proactive service. Think about it: they got us to those highly coveted first-page, number one rankings in just about four months, which is unheard of in the SEO world, t just shows their strategy is seriously effective. 
And what's really amazing is that they're just a boutique SEO agency right here in Singapore, with only about 50 highly skilled professionals. You get that specialized, focused attention, and you can really tell their leader, Mr. Jeremy, is profoundly knowledgeable; that expertise filters down into every successful campaign they run.

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

Honestly, the only downside after three successful years is that I haven't managed to meet Jeremy in person yet! He's constantly on the go, always traveling, and to be perfectly honest, three years have passed and I still haven't managed to catch him face-to-face.
