Please describe your company and your position there.
I am the CEO of our Commercial Real Estate development company based in Omaha, NE.
For what projects/services did your company hire The Brandsmen?
We wanted to establish a creative and firm online presence to share our work and network with the world. Brandsmen was brought on to create our company website and professionally share our work and brand with the world.
How did you select The Brandsmen and what were the deciding factors?
I searched reviews and experiences from other clients that have used similar website design companies. The Brandsmen had the best reviews and their design portfolio and capabilities aligned best with what I wanted out of a company.
Describe the project in detail and walk through the stages of the project.
We wanted our website to properly display our work, focus, and meaning as a company. There are a lot of Commercial Real Estate websites that can show what they do and who they are, though we wanted ours to be impactful and encourage others to do the same.
How many resources from The Brandsmen team worked with you, and what were their positions?
I had the grateful opportunity to work with the owner one on one. He was extremely helpful and educated us throughout the entire design process. We are very fortunate to get the royal treatment.
Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?
There was a lot more to setting up a website than I expected. Creating hyperlinks to direct a client around our website and allowing emails to flow from the web portal smoothly. I had no idea how to connect our email to the website.
Brandsmen educated me on how it works and then made it happen. There are a lot of instances where I didn't know what I didn't know and I appreciated the added level of patience and education that I received from this project.
How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?
Our project was completed and delivered earlier than I expected. This was my first experience with website design and I'm happy I had the opportunity to have it completed by this team.
What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?
Their modern and clean designs got us in the door, though their education and professionalism will keep the door open for future ventures. I know they will do the same for others! I was impressed by more things that I didn't know existed. I'm glad I'm in CRE.
Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?
They exceeded my expectations and educated me along the way. I got a lot more out of this project than they did. Win/Win for me!

Please describe your company and your position there.
I am the co-founder of a WordPress agency that focuses on building online learning solutions using LearnDash and other premium LMS platforms.
For what projects/services did your company hire The Brandsmen, and what were your goals?
We hired the Brandsmen as consultants to help us in creating a foolproof SEO strategy for our agency. They were able to study and understand our business model in no time and were very quick to share some amazing suggestions which we were able to implement right away. They gave us some really actionable insight into what matters the most and break down some complicated concepts. Their professional advice has helped us with growing our traffic and conversion rate. We plan to engage them again soon for further help.
How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?
They were referred to us by a mutual connection and we decided to work with them as we were really impressed by Alex after our first meeting. We felt that he understood our business model and would be the right person to help us with our SEO strategy as our business is focused on a very narrow niche.
Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and campaigns.
The project began with a discovery call where we explained our business model to Alex and his team. They took some time to do their due diligence and get back to us with some solid high level advice. Based on that, we were able to put together an entire action plan for our SEO and content marketing. Alex helped us with prioritizing the tasks and creating a Trello project. We discussed our progress regularly until we started seeing some great results.
How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?
We were working mostly with Alex and Adam. Alex helped us with strategy and Adam was able to help us with some technical aspects.
Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?
We have been able to save a lot of time by focusing on the right keywords. We were producing a lot of content with very little results before, but since we learned how to find keywords with high search volume and how to write copy that's organic yet highlights the right keywords, we have started to rank on the 1st page for several keywords.
Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.
They use Trello for project management and Slack/Zoom for communications. They were very responsive and easy to get a hold of when needed.
What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?
I love how they are so professional yet friendly and easy going.
Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?

For what projects/services did your company hire The Brandsmen?
Our existing website had a lot of good content, but was not getting good search engine results based on testing we had done. So we reached out to the Brandsmen.
What were your goals for this project?
To raise the profile of EnRoute Software when people were doing searches for CAD CAM Software and related terms. And to have better search results when a search was done for our software product EnRoute.
How did you select this vendor?
The Brandsmen were recommended by a former employee who was still doing some consulting work for programming.
Describe the project in detail.
The project was for them to evaluate our existing website and improve that and then to help create an entirely new website to help improve SEO results. They provided reports to document improvement with regard to various metrics. There was also a new product release that occurred and The Brandsmen helped to create both website content/pages and related marketing documents for the new version of EnRoute. And, finallly, The Brandsmen did our social media posting and helped to build the product community.

The client submitted this review online.
Please describe your company and your position there.
I am the President of a growing Property Management company in Denver. I make financial and strategic decisions, including partnerships with third-party vendors for ancillary services.
For what projects/services did your company hire The Brandsmen?
As a small business, we have never had the bandwidth or expertise to manage our online presence or reputation.
The Brandsmen performed an initial SEO analysis and presented us with three options to choose from based on budget and scope. Ultimately, Urban Phenix hired the Brandsmen to rebuild our website.
They recommended separating several pages, maintaining a blog, and several other things. As we grew, we kept the Brandsmen in our plans; they have sent built several property-websites for us and continue to manage and update web content for our primary entity, Urban Phenix.
What were your goals for this project?
We wanted to improve key word identification in web searches and improve, create a more robust website, and improve our google, yelp, and apartments.com ranking so we presented well on social media.
How did you select this vendor?
A business partner referred us to Alex. We interviewed a few different firms but found the price and flexibility with Brandsmen to be the best fit for us.
Terms were very reasonable and they were comfortable working within our budget and timelines. I liked their responsiveness and attention to detail during the process and they have continued to deliver. Two staff members and I made the hiring decision.
Describe the project in detail.
We started off with an employee managing our Facebook page and similar online profiles and the only thing I'd see when typing Urban Phenix into the google search was negative reviews if it even came up on the first page. It originally took several clicks for a prospect (tenant) to do what we wanted them to do - click the Lease Now button.
The Brandsmen did a full analysis of our website and social media space and came up with a plan. We discussed the proposed marketing strategies (pricing and scope options) to help us become relevant and sustain a positive web presence.
We provided them with our vision, some differentiators, and photos and worked closely with them to review each page before it went live.
What was the team composition?
We have always worked directly with Alex or Adam, Founding Partners. Alex is our primary contact but Adam is always up to speed if Alex is unavailable.
They are quick to respond and have always found a way to fit our small business needs into their schedules with exceptional turn around time. We have phased emergency website launches within a week or so, they proactively notify us of negative posts we should respond to, and have never missed a deadline.
Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?
After the first month, we saw nearly a 15% in organic traffic based on reports The Brandsmen provided us. It has clearly grown since then.
We onboarded and offloaded several properties they have been involved with so aside from measuring traffic patterns, there has been tremendous value in having a reliable partner managing this side of the business - social media, SEO, and building/maintaining websites for us.
How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?
The Brandsmen team is great to work with. We talk as needed, they provide monthly performance reports, and are on-point when we have a project in process.
What did you find most impressive about this company?
The Brandsmen always hits deliverable dates, even when they are tight. They are open about the planning process and set realistic expectations.
Are there any areas for improvement?
I'm not an IT guy so learning about the metrics in the beginning and how to measure value was challenging. We eventually got there but it took me a while to grasp some of the concepts they were talking about.
Thanks to The Brandsmen's efforts, they thoroughly educated the client about how the website works. The team's patience and knowledge were notable in the partnership. Their on-time delivery and design skills were also critical to the project's success.
