BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and position.

I am the Director of AIKON Accountants Ltd

Describe what your company does in a single sentence.

AIKON Accountants is a Mayfair-based chartered management accountancy firm offering tax, accounting, business planning and corporate finance services to individuals and businesses across the UK.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What specific goals or objectives did you hire SUSO Digital to accomplish?

• To be perfectly honest, I did not fully understand what AI search was when SUSO first explained it to me. But they showed me that when someone asks ChatGPT for an accountant recommendation in London, we were nowhere to be found. That concerned me. We have been established for nearly 20 years and have a strong reputation, so the idea that a new technology was recommending our competitors instead of us was not acceptable. The objective was simply to make sure AIKON appears when people use these AI tools to find accounting services.

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

SUSO conducted what they call an AI Visibility Audit, which essentially looked at how our firm appeared across four or five AI platforms when people asked questions about accountancy services. They presented the findings to me very clearly, which I appreciated because I am not a technical person. From there they recommended changes to our website content, helped us get mentioned on industry directories and relevant publications, and created articles that were written in a way that these AI systems would reference. I receive a monthly update showing our progress. The deliverables have been the audit itself, a strategy document, ongoing content work, and a monthly visibility report.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

AIKON is now being recommended by ChatGPT for certain queries about accountancy in central London. I have tested it myself. We have also had two new client enquiries where the person mentioned they found us through an AI tool, which has never happened before in all my years. It is still early days but the direction is very encouraging.

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

Excellent. They are very patient, which I appreciate because I ask a lot of questions. Everything has been delivered when promised. They take the time to explain things properly and never make me feel as though I should already know something. That goes a long way.

What was your primary form of communication with SUSO Digital?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

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

Their ability to make a very technical subject understandable for someone like me. I have worked with digital agencies before where I felt completely lost. SUSO never made me feel that way. They are also genuinely ahead of the curve with this AI search work. I have not come across another agency offering anything similar at this level.

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

No, nothing comes to mind. They have been very good.

• SEO Retainer: SUSO provides on-site SEO recommendations and consultations for several of our pages. This involves ensuring that our pages are well-optimized for search engines and that the content is optimized for the target audience. We have regular calls with our account manager, who is at hand to answer any questions we might have about the SEO work. 
• SEO Reports: SUSO delivered SEO reports that provided an overview of our SEO performance. The reports clearly defined key findings that needed to be addressed, a list of keyword opportunities, and a detailed analysis of a relevant keyword that should be targeted, along with recommendations on how to optimize for said keywords. 
• Workshop: The agency also delivered an educational workshop with our team in January 2024, which was led by SUSO’s CEO, Will. This session was incredibly valuable for our team, who now have a much stronger understanding of how SEO works and what the main areas of focus should be for 2024.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Following the workshop, our team left having learned a great deal about the main components of SEO, making it much easier for us to send more pitches with an SEO option included, ultimately resulting in more SEO business.

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

All SEO reports were delivered on time to a high standard. They're also helpful in answering any questions we have about the reports and SEO campaigns.

We highly recommend SUSO to any agency that’s looking for an SEO partner.

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

The kick-off/onboarding wasn't quite as seamless or smooth as I had hoped. This was, in part, down to the lack of time and attention from our side. However, having more hand-holding, expectation setting, or management would have been useful to help prioritize or resource as needed for a quicker start.

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

My website was hacked in September 23, but I didn't notice until November that year. That meant that I had to delete the whole site and Google had marked my site as unsafe, which really affected my business. I had conversations with other developers, but they were encouraging me to go with a new domain and redirect my old one to that. But, I had my previous website for 15 years and it had a lot of backlinks. So, I reached out to SUSO digital through a colleagues recommendation. 
They confirmed that recovering the hacked site was the much more favourable approach in the long run for SEO. I had a zoom meeting with a director and a developer and they quickly accessed the backend and all necessary tools to start the recovery process, migrate my design over, and signal to google to re-crawl the site. 
Within 48hrs, the site was migrated back to the hacked domain, on a new hosting package and was safe and listed on Google again. Just that day, I started to get enquiries again! It was fantastic.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Listed on google and marked as safe. Receiving enquiries as soon as that happened, after not seeing any new business for 3 months.

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

The items were delivered ahead of time consistently. They listened to me and what I wanted, and were the first out of many to know exactly what they needed to do, and explained that to me very clearly during an initial meeting. That helped me understand the process, and the potential delays for each stage (which turned out to be less than anticipated)

What was your primary form of communication with SUSO Digital?

Email or Messaging App

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

We were thrilled with their confidence and speed. The SEO industry can be a bit like the Wild West, and I've had my fingers burnt before... but these guys are incredibly trustworthy. The updates from the main developer via WhatsApp were also very welcome.

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

Not that I can think of. Every aspect of dealing with SUSO was A-Class. I felt really confident throughout the process due to their professionalism from the outset.
