We reached out to marketing/web development companies that we felt would be responsive to our needs. We asked them to provide a portfolio of satisfied clients.

Can you go into detail about the services they provided and the scope of the project?

They assembled a team and took the time to listen to our needs. They provided step-by-step progress reports. We relied on their expertise to guide us through the completion of the project.

What was the team composition?

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the owner of Rox Beach Weddings of Ocean City.

For what projects/services did your company hire Dreamscape Marketing?

We needed a website renovation, a catalog design, and SEO assistance.

What were your goals for this project?

We wanted to increase our market share, streamline costs, understand our Google Analytics, and improve SEO.

How did you select this vendor?

We interviewed their CEO and immediately felt comfortable with him and his staff.

Describe the scope of their work in detail.

Dreamscape is developing a mobile-friendly website and implementing SEO. They consult us through our Google Analytics and optimize our marketing strategies.

What was the team composition?

We worked with their CEO, graphic artists, and engineers.

Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

Our business is much more efficient and so far, it has gone brilliantly. Dreamscape created much more free time for me to spend with my family without sacrificing any profits. I am not skilled in the newest technologies, so it's great working with a young team in-tune with the latest tech.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

Our workflow is great. They are available about 70 hours a week for any immediate assistance and are a pleasure to work with.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

Dan Gemp (CEO, Dreamscape Marketing) seems like a family man and a genuinely good person—values very important to us.

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the Owner and Director of a residential treatment center for those suffering from substance use disorder. We do both inpatient residential care as well as outpatient treatment.

What challenge were you trying to address with Dreamscape Marketing?

As an independent operator, one of the challenges we have is getting the word out to let people know we’re available for the services they need. When people are looking for treatment, the first thing they do is search online. They generally choose whatever service they find on the first page of their search results. We’re not a large corporation with unlimited resources at our disposal. But we needed to be on the first page in order to be found and be known.

What was the scope of their involvement?

Dreamscapes started by revitalizing our website. They changed the branding and format and optimized for SEO. Since then, they’ve managed SEO for us. They continue to tweak things on a regular basis. For example, we reach out to new markets in other cities nearby.

We're currently looking to double our capacity by purchasing another facility. We're formulating strategies and plans with Dreamscape for the future expansion in order to continue the momentum.

What is the team composition?

I communicate primarily with our project manager as well as their CEO.

How did you come to work with Dreamscape Marketing?

I ran into them at a conference. I used to be a hospital administrator for a large corporation that runs psychiatric hospitals so I keep in touch with the industry by attending events. I met the CEO and a couple of others from their team. I asked around and they had good references.

What is the status of this engagement?

We’ve been working with them for three years now and it’s ongoing.

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

Within a few months after we started working with them, we were consistently on the first page. We track our metrics daily and calls generated from the website go through a separate toll-free number so we know the impacts of our SEO. More than 60% of our total calls are generated from the website. That’s up from 1% before we started working with Dreamscape. We’re now recognized for 140 keywords when you search in this area. In practical terms, that means we’ve doubled our client to bed capacity ratio, which is up from six clients per day to 12.

How did Dreamscape Marketing perform from a project management standpoint?

I feel like I have access to everybody. I have a project manager at my disposal that I touch base with about once a week. I can also call the CEO and discuss ideas whenever I’d like. They’ll immediately put a team together to respond to the request.

During the course of our relationship with Dreamscape, we've had three or four project managers. All but one has been good, and with that one it was more about personalities than quality. The one we have right now is excellent.

The CEO told me early on that his model is to overpromise and overdeliver. They’re true to that. There’s been only one hiccup in over three years. He shoots for the moon and gets beyond that.

What did you find most impressive about them?

At the end of the day, it's about results. We get quality and responsiveness. They’re still small enough that I can call the CEO and get a call back from him. They move quickly to respond to our needs. And we get results.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I’ve only had one site visit from them in the three years we’ve been working together. There’s another one scheduled: the project manager is coming out next month. I understand it’s expensive to travel to and from the East Coast where they’re based but I feel like it’s important for them to know my facility, talk to my staff and me, and see my clients to really understand us.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Communicate. Part of what has made our partnership work is that we communicate a lot. I’m very hands-on. If I wasn’t communicating regularly, we wouldn’t get the results we want.

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the CEO of Sunstone Recovery, which offers intensive outpatient individual, family, and group counseling for adults who are recovering from addictions.

For what projects/services did your company hire Dreamscape Marketing?

We engaged Dreamscape Marketing to design and develop our website and organize SEO campaigns.

What were your goals for this project?

We hoped that Dreamscape Marketing could create a website that reflected our branding and design well. Additionally, we wanted to put a successful SEO strategy in place.

How did you select this vendor?

I was comfortable selecting Dreamscape Marketing for this work because I have met their CEO at multiple industry-specific conferences and listened to several of his informative webinars.

Describe the project in detail.

Our initial call with Dreamscape Marketing included a discussion of the scope of work and corresponding fees. We then held a meeting with their design team so that I could outline my vision. We had several follow-up calls with the team to review drafts and determine SEO content generation efforts.

What was the team composition?

We work with a project manager and their design team.

Can you share any statistics or metrics that speak to the quality of their work and impact of the engagement?

We recently launched our website, and I am confident that we will start ranking well on Google.

How did Dreamscape Marketing perform from a project management standpoint?

They are fantastic in all respects.

What impresses you about Dreamscape Marketing?

I am impressed by their industry knowledge and project management approach.

Are there any areas for improvement?

No, we’ve worked well together so far.
