Daphne was our very first account manager. We truly felt like she cared for our success. Always following up, and checking in.Unfortunately, (for us) she was promoted and we were assigned a new Account Manager- Braeden. He is the ultimate hype man. Since having him as our account manager we have skyrocketed. He is a great strategist. He has recommended many ideas to help our business grow more than it has already. We love our SEO Werkz team.What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?There are many things that we love about SEO Werkz. One thing that stands out to me is we are not just a number to a really big company. Each team member we have worked with has made us feel like we are their only client.

I initial started with SEO Werkz for some initial web design and management, along with content optimization. After running through and using another vendor for both data, email and communication channels, and digital branding in the convention phase I realize that the vendor was not able to deliver on what was expected resulting in multiple failure among many domains.I reached out to SEOWerkz and expanded my scope of service to pick up all pieces of the digital front of my campaign and I am glad I did. Areas where I ran into road blocks they were eliminated by Paul and team at SEOWerkz. They also helped me stretch my dollars in digital advertising with proper targeting and management.

The team is responsive to requests and is able to clearly define and communicate limitations. As we worked through updates the team would provide feedback that supported the best experience for the user and also helped drive content that was appealing and encouraged voters to dig further.What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?The company definetly drove a good portion of this campaign and what I did. In the beginning I was feeling that I needed a campaign manager, but with SEOWerkz I felt like I had my own marketing team driving information to me and helping to build and develop content from information I had shared with them. I didn't end up using a campaign manager and I was able to manage my calendar knowing that this team was taking care of everything in the background that was driving my campaign.Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?I don't know that I could have had them do anything differently. The one thing that I think I would have wanted to explore more is if they also worked with direct mail and those pieces. This was the one area that I didn't end up even exploring with them that maybe I should have because it would have simplified my entire campaign brand and approach. --- #### SEO & Website Design for Flooring Company **The Project** - Services: Search Engine Optimization, Web Design - Project size: Confidential - Project length: Jan. - May 2021 **Project Summary**: Upward Engine (formerly SEO Werkz) helped a flooring company improve their digital presence by developing and designing their website and performing SEO.

As a result, the client eventually terminated their engagement with the team.

We also, researched this firm online.Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and campaigns.Their concept was to provide onsite, offsite, SEO and a long term strategy concept.

In fact, most of the time, we received emails from Dave Kimball as to why they failed or apologized. The implementation did not communicate, when they did, it was the wrong keywords, wrong or poorly written content. So our experience of their deliverables at best, is poor.Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.Communication was an issue from the beginning. In fact, Dave Kimball the sales person had to assume the project manager responsibilities since their normal PM would not communicate. The account manager, did communicate but had nothing to offer, because month 1 and month 2 responsibilities were not his. We simply couldn't move forward because of the lack of accountability, communication, and deliverables.What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?The sales process. The reason we chose them, as they said we would experience something different. That they could and would handle from beginning to end the process. The sales process set an expectation that the internal team is either unwilling or unable to perform.Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?First, if you have a project manager that is customer facing, they have to have people skills. They have to follow-up. They have to engage. We set out early to say we are doing this not for "leads" but as a long term brand strategy. We had the proper mindset. After the first month we were given the opt out, to get a refund. However, Dave Kimball the salesperson resold the process and that he would take control. Sadly, second verse was the same as the first. We spent more time in emails, conference, and phone being told or explained why errors happened. Errors will happen, we understand that. That is the nature of every business. This was an error at every point and port. --- #### SEO & Ad Retargeting for Mortgage Corporation **The Project** - Services: Search Engine Optimization - Project size: Less than $10,000 - Project length: Feb. 2018 - Ongoing **Project Summary**: Upward Engine (formerly SEO Werkz) provides SEO and ad retargeting services.

Due dates were pushed back more and more because of delays that weren't well communicated. The beginning of the project went well, I was a little annoyed with the amount of time between approving one project and getting the next step going, I feel like that could have been faster or just better communicated about what was still pending or being worked on.

There were times they said they were waiting on us and we had no clue, because no one reached out. Since starting ongoing SEO, the communication between the account manager has been better, but during the website build, we felt very lost. --- #### SEO for Digital Marketing Company **The Project** - Services: Search Engine Optimization - Project size: Confidential - Project length: Oct. 2023 - Ongoing **Project Summary**: Upward Engine (formerly SEO Werkz) provides ongoing SEO services for a digital marketing company.

They aimed to achieve top organic rankings for location-specific queries, particularly for their core service keywords. Our initial assessment indicated that their "area served" pages, while present, required significant content optimization to compete effectively in a competitive local search landscape. Strategy & Execution Our strategy focused on a targeted, content-driven approach to bolster the client's local SEO performance. We identified the need to re-evaluate and enhance their existing "area served" pages to ensure they were highly relevant and authoritative for specific city-based searches. ### Crushing It with Crane Rentals – A Local Services Challenge While click metrics and conversions looked solid, the client wanted reassurance that their investment was leading to actual business. We knew we needed to go beyond surface-level KPIs and dig into what really matters: qualified leads and booked projects. Strategy & Execution Our team designed and launched a hyper-targeted Google Ads campaign focused on high-intent keywords specific to crane rental services in their market. We continuously optimized ad copy, bids, and geotargeting to attract the right type of searchers. To track performance beyond just form fills, we integrated CallRail for call tracking — allowing us to monitor call volume and listen to actual conversations to determine lead quality. Results After reviewing the past 30 days of tracked calls, the impact was undeniable: 22 inbound calls recorded 20 were qualified leads for new crane rental projects 91% call-to-lead ratio This wasn't just about clicks — these were real prospects, reaching out with real jobs. ### Driving High-Quality Leads for a Professional Trai Challenge Our client sought to rapidly acquire a significant number of qualified leads within a short timeframe to fill an upcoming cohort for their specialized course. They needed a cost-effective solution that could deliver measurable results and set the stage for continued growth.
