Captivation Agency provided PPC and SEO services for a sporting brand. The team created a content plan for the client's blog while managing their ad campaigns. They also worked on lowering conversion costs.

The client conversion cost was reduced to under $5 per conversion, hitting their goals. Their website also remained on the first page of Google for relevant keywords. Captivation Agency delivered everything the client needed. The team had great communication skills and top-notch company culture.

The client submitted this review online.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the owner of a sports brand that sells products across multiple online platforms, physical stores, B2B and D2C. My responsibilities include brand health initiatives, marketing strategy development, and relationships.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Captivation Agency, and what were your goals?

We’ve worked with CA for ten years. Their team has been a consistent, valued partner for many business needs, including: SEO, PPC, site planning and maintenance, content creation, creative, and video. This review covers their work in PPC and SEO for 2022. We hired them with two goals:

Maintain page one on Google for our most relevant keywords (SERP)
lower Google conversion costs while concurrently determining the best way to double our Google budget

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

I’ve had a consistent business relationship with CA since 2013. They continue to earn our business each year through a palpable willingness to serve, their drive, passion, integrity, and ability to execute.

Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and campaigns.

The SEO project aimed to improve our position on Google (SERP). PPC project aimed to lower conversion costs while A/B testing to scale our budget by 100%. SEO and PPC are naturally aligned. CA laid out a plan to create content for our internal blog while building complimentary campaigns in Google Ads. Deliverables included SEO research and recommended-content-pieces, monthly meetings to review Ads data, and multiple paid campaigns.

How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

Jim , Founder/CEO
Lindsay, Client Services
Barry, Web Development
The Creative Team

What is the status of this engagement?

Status of this engagement is ongoing. We continue to use CA for PPC and SEO.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?

Our PPC success can be described very simply: Jim and team lowered our conversions to under five dollars per. Huge win. SEO - while we compete again DICKs, Target, Wal Mart and other massive companies, we continually remain on page on Google for relevant key words.

The measurable results of PPC and SEO work are fairly binary. You either rank or you don’t. You lowered costs and continued to convert or you didn’t. Both boxes checked. However, arriving to those easily measured results requires methodology that iterates on itself over time. Let’s start here. Then Assess, Review, Tweak. Retest. CA does this very well.

Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.

Great communication. Clearly written emails. Restating of project goals to show they understand your intent. Video wrap ups. Data grabs. Style and Disposition: They're professional, personable, helpful, and always available. They treat you like an important client; willing to push back when necessary too

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

The company culture really is to serve clients. Unmatched in customer / client experience.

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

There’s always room for improvement. It’s difficult for content writers to grab the voice of the brand. We work around nuanced content writing challenges by ensuring the best -fit person from CA or my company is primary on content writing.
