Feedback summary: 

Compete Now's work contributed to a significant increase in appointment bookings, even just within the first two days of launching. They gave detailed meeting agendas and schedules which was very helpful. The team proved to be very knowledgable about the web platform they were using.

The client submitted this review online.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

We are a nonprofit community health center that serves about 22,000 patients a year. We operate in the Dorchester neighborhood of Boston.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Compete Now?

We hired Compete now to completely create our website and Intranet.

What were your goals for this project?

We wanted a website and intranet that was easy to navigate, was search engine optimized, and would attract new patients as well as serve as a great resource for our current patients.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

We sought three bids. Compete Now came in lowest price and were easy to work with during the bid process.

Describe the project and the services they provided in detail.

We told them what we needed on our website, and they created a plan and built it. They also migrated everything from our old site over. In addition, they created our intranet.

What was the team composition?

Donato, who runs the company, and Adam, who is the visual designer. Donato's colleague, Garret, joined for a meeting or two about our intranet.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any information that demonstrates the impact that this project has had on your business?

One of the features we put on our website was "request an appointment." We got 45 requests within the first two days of launching the site!

How was project management arranged and how effective was it?

During our kick-off meeting, Donato scheduled every meeting we would hold, what each meeting would cover, and what was required for each meeting all the way out until launch day. This was incredibly helpful because it held them and us accountable to a specific schedule. It was also helpful in November to be able to say to colleagues "the new website will launch on or about March 14." He also has project management software so that we could all keep up with tasks.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

What I found most impressive was how good they were at the scheduling and project management aspect of the project. They were a few minutes early to every meeting. They always said at the end of each weekly meeting what they would complete and what we would need to complete for the next weeks and upcoming weeks. They are also very knowledgeable about the web platform we are using (Word Press), and truly know it inside and out. They have an understanding of the various plug-ins, and could make suggestions. In addition, Donato and company showed a genuine interest and curiosity about our business, which was very helpful in getting the best product, as well as feeling like we had a true partner in the project.

Are there any areas for improvement?

It would be good to get faster turnaround for questions. Sometimes, I felt like we were limited to only speaking during our weekly calls. Not all the time, but sometimes.

The Review
Feedback summary: 

Compete Now is responsive and works hard to meet project goals and deadlines. They provide regular updates and offer suggestions to optimize products and services. Their prices are competitive, and their work is high quality.

A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the chief relationship officer for AEI Speakers Bureau, a lecture agency that works with different types of speakers to bring them to different organizations.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Compete Now?

We needed a partner to revamp our website, rebrand our company, and also manage our SEO.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Compete Now created a new logo and developed an entirely new WordPress website, pulling in source material from our original one so we didn’t have to redo all of the content, such as our speakers’ bios, photos, and other information. The new homepage now allows us to toggle between speakers more easily, and the site has a live chat feature. Compete Now also helped with videos, enabling us to both upload them to our site and embed them from our YouTube channel. Before, we could only have one video per speaker, but now they can have up to five.

Beyond that, they’ve also made the site more functional. For example, they built a digital signature feature so that our clients can open, view, and sign contracts through the site. They also added two other forms to the site for clients to fill out. The SEO work is ongoing, and Compete Now mainly focuses on Google Ads and AdRoll. They currently provide quarterly maintenance to make sure everything is running smoothly.

What is the team composition?

The company founder is our main point of contact, and we work with about five others.

How did you come to work with Compete Now?

Our IT company referred them. We wanted someone local, and we liked their work, so we hired them.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent over $20,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We partnered in September 2016, and the work is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We’ve gotten more leads that are better quality, and site traffic has also increased.

How did Compete Now perform from a project management standpoint?

They typically hit deadlines and resolve any delays in a timely manner. If we ever have a problem, they’re quick to respond—we don’t have to wait until our next scheduled call or meeting. They have regular check-ins and status updates, letting us make any necessary adjustments.

What did you find most impressive about them?

We tried redoing the website with a different provider, but they never delivered anything substantive. Compete Now, on the other hand, delivered a great-looking website that functions well. They’re highly communicative and offer lots of great suggestions when we aren’t sure what to do.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I can’t think of any ways they could improve. They're doing pretty great.

Do you have any advice for future clients of theirs?

Compare them to other vendors and you’ll see how great they are. Invest in the relationship because they’re friendly and helpful.
