Advanced Marketers

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I am the owner of Genie Pro Painting, a painting and contracting company. We do complete interior and exterior painting, remodeling, repairs, etc. We are located in the Houston, Texas area. 

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Instaboost?

We needed help improving our SEO and online presence. We had worked with another provider previously and had a horrible experience. 

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

The very first thing they did was take over our Google My Business page, which was difficult for them because when the previous company created it, they put themselves as the owner as opposed to me, the actual owner. Instaboost jumped through a lot of hoops to clean that page. When they finally did, they listed me as the owner. If I’m not happy and I want to transfer it to another company, I could easily do it without that person having to go through the hoops they went through to get access to it. 

The biggest issue is the previous company had created a page with wrong and misleading information. Instaboost went to work correcting that very quickly. It was very impressive to me that they were able to accomplish all that they did in the specific time they had promised to do it in.

They researched my business and found the right keywords to help me get found online and put those together to be launched. Once they got that going, they suggested that I look into optimizing the website. Rather than trying to optimize the website, which I had built myself, I decided to have them build a completely new website for me.

How did you come to work with Instaboost?

Instaboost contacted me directly to share what they do. I was very skeptical because I had just come off a bad relationship with the other company. At that point, I had decided to manage the website myself.  Instaboost promised me they could accomplish a certain amount of work in 30-60 days. They gave me a very good guarantee, so I gave them a try. I’m glad I made that decision.

How much have you invested with them?

I have spent $9,000. 

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in June 2016 and the work is ongoing. 

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

I saw results in the time in which they told me I would. I went from having no online presence at all to getting tons of calls. If someone Googles “Genie Pro Painting” in the area that I cover, I’m in the top 2-3. It’s been a very pleasant experience. They’ve helped set us up for metrics tracking as well. They send the results to me every month. I don’t care about the metrics, but I do care about the results, and they’re good. 

How did Instaboost perform from a project management standpoint?

I have dealt with approximately 3 people there. Most of the time, I deal directly with Chris [Co-founder/COO, Instaboost]. They are 2 hours behind me in Texas. I have called them at 8 in the morning Texas time, which means he’s probably still sleeping, but he still answers the phone. Regardless of what time I call, he answers the phone. If he doesn’t, he’s good at calling me back within 30-60 minutes. When I send them photos and videos to be put on my website, social media page, or YouTube channel, within 24-48 hours those are edited, uploaded, and getting hits. I’m very impressed with how well they manage it. They are very on top of things. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

They’re responsible and have a strong client awareness. They take the time to make sure my needs are not only met but exceeded. That kind of dedication speaks volumes to me. I was initially impressed that they kept their word in delivering results in the promised timeframe. I hired them just for SEO and since then, I’ve bought every other service they offer because I was so impressed with them. It’s been a very pleasant experience. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

No. Whenever I go to them with an issue, it gets resolved quickly.
