OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with dNOVO GROUP?

We needed help with online marketing to get more exposure online.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

We own a couple of other businesses as well and we’ve done online marketing with those so I was familiar with SEO and other tactics. We were opening a new division and domain and they helped us. They provided a turn-key solution for us so I could email them with page or product update requests or new target keywords and they executed.

In terms of tangible techniques, they manage our Google Ads, web development, SEO, and to a certain extent, marketing that isn’t online.

What is the team composition?

From a high-level standpoint on strategy, I worked with the owner, Shamil. We meet once a month. Otherwise, they had dedicated teams with an overall manager, Sadaf. She handles anything related to the frontend of the website.

They’ve done a pretty good job in a short time. It gets difficult to do social media marketing and paid ads as a business owner but they handled everything with their turn-key solution. They’ve been great for our lead generation and website rankings.

How did dNOVO GROUP perform from a project management standpoint?

I’m not your typical business owner. We used to do all this in-house and I would lead it, so I’m more technical than the normal owner. I’m very much involved in the management side and they do well. We come up with a plan and execute it.

We don’t use any special tools or platforms. Either we meet in-person or communicate over our group chat, looping in the appropriate resources whenever we need them. I haven’t had any issues with project management. They take care of whatever the goals or milestones are.

From a planning standpoint, we sit down with whoever we need and lay out everything that needs to get done. They’re pretty fast with a lot of things, including content creations and implementing minor updates to the site.

What did you find most impressive about them?

I’ve been involved in online marketing for ten years and I’ve seen a lot of companies who claim to understand Google Ads but most of them are average, and you can’t be average if you’re trying to keep up with the thousands of changes being made on a yearly basis. dNOVO group is pretty sharp and will get you up there in rankings.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, I can’t think of anything.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Stuff like this takes time. Your patience will pay off.
