What was the scope of their involvement?
They host our website for us and provide updates, search engine optimization, and search engine marketing. They also worked with a third-party developer to integrate quoting software into our website.
These features were then duplicated for a Spanish-language version of the site.
They work to drive traffic to our website in a number of ways, including Pay Per Click, Google AdWords, and social media.
What is the team dynamic?
Doug [Timms, Senior Digital Marketing Consultant, Be Locally SEO] is our main point of contact. He touches base regularly to review our results and work through new marketing tactic ideas. We also stay in touch with Hannah [Ocon, Operations Manager, Be Locally SEO], who answers any questions that may arise.
How did you come to work with Be Locally?
I looked into three or four companies, but could immediately tell that most of these were just blasting the entire market to see who would bite. They lacked credibility.
I heard about Be Locally through a radio advertisement and was impressed with them from the beginning. The owner met with us personally to help get us started, and they followed through in a way that their competitors simply did not.
How much have you invested with them?
We initially paid $300 per month, but we’ve been so pleased with Be Locally’s work that we recently increased our monthly investment to $900.
We also spent about $4,000 on website development.
What is the status of this engagement?
We started working together in June 2011, and our relationship is ongoing.
Keywords now rank higher than two on Google. SEO efforts identified new local audiences, consequently increasing productivity and cost-effectiveness. Be Locally SEO is responsive to requests and timely with deliveries. Costs are competitive and include generous support offerings.
