It would be fair to say that even though Crowdo offers its services in multiple languages, their English-language packages are more extensive. Having a multilingual website, we would be interested in equally comprehensive service packages for other markets, like France.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I'm the owner of an ecommerce website selling products in the guitar niche.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

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

We wanted to increase our search rankings to attract more visitors & buyers.

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

I had previously purchased smaller service packages from them & saw good results. The website is easy to use so I went for a larger project.

The scope began with an audit package with suggested changes which were implemented to our website. We then signed on for a 3 month service term to further expand on the results.

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

I mainly worked with Eugene which was helpful & explained the process well.

They are good with deadlines & keeping with communication. I remember there was a slight delay with one of the deliverables & they let me know a week in advance what was going on.

Most impressive is the ease to purchase their services & the amount of professionalism that goes into the whole branding.

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

Everything seems to be well optimized. Apart from business, maybe some more pictures & background of the people working within the organization. Just to make things more personal I suppose but the product/service is great.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I work on an affiliate dating web site, which needed more links in order to gain better search engine rankings.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

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

I used Crowdo to source forum links, the goals were to get natural looking back links that used natural anchor text.

SOLUTION

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

The deciding factor was the quality of the links, there are other providers of such links that are cheaper but the quality is not as good.

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

There was only one campaign and that was to deliver the links that we needed. The scope of the work was to find relevant forum threads and leave an high-quality reply that included our link. These are usually highly moderated, and so it had to be of a quality that would not get removed. The key deliverables were the links, and they over-delivered there by 20%, so we got more links than we paid for which was excellent.

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

The was one SEO in contact with us, but I do not know how many worked on the campaign.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

SOLUTION

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

We found Crowdo through a referral, visited their website and scheduled a discovery call. What we really liked is that the company was eager to develop a tailored solution for us, instead of a "one-fits-all" approach. They were very patient in explaining all the steps and technical details of the project, and supported us every step of the way.

Our project started with an SEO Audit of our website, which was recommended to us as first-time clients. After this in-depth SEO audit, Crowdo identified the website’s key problems:

• Multiple technical duplicates of pages.
• Incorrectly implemented website structure.
• Weak internal linking.
• Critical items were missing from product cards.
• Numerous mistakes in microdata.
• Incorrect use of the canonical tag. Based on the SEO Audit, we got a personalized SEO strategy that allowed us to reach Google’s top 5 in 6 weeks, and increased our organic traffic from 50k to 150k!

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

We were assigned a project manager who helped us determine the workload for the project, which was distributed to their SEO specialist team. We were in touch with the project manager and Crowdo support team for any questions and requests.

I would like to see a system where I can track the progress of my project and engage with the team at the research / implementation team beyond email.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I work as a marketing specialist for a paint by numbers shop.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Crowdo?

We were looking to grow the business, and we needed more leads. We also needed someone to help optimize the website.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Crowdo started out with an audit where they analyzed the website and they came up with a solution for us that focused on off-page SEO and using backlinks. 

We worked together on coming up with keywords. They provided keywords for us based on the audit, and we gave them some as well. 

What is the team composition?

We primarily worked with Igor (Sales Team Lead). We also worked with a few other people from their support team.

How did Crowdo perform from a project management standpoint?

They communicated very clearly, and their project management was one of the best parts about working with them. There were pieces about the project that we weren’t sure about, and they were very communicative and answered any questions that we had. 

We mostly communicated through email, and they sent us progress reports periodically. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

The quality was remarkable for the price. We tried several other options later on and did not see the same quality or results that we had from Crowdo. Their value is very good for the price. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

They fell behind on a deadline once, so we would say they could probably improve their speed of completing projects.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Speak to whoever is in charge of client communication. They were very good about communicating with us, especially considering that we didn’t understand everything pertaining to SEO. Make sure that you’re communicating with them constantly so that you understand the process.
