EZ Rankings

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the CEO of Stem Cell Cure.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with EZ Rankings?

I needed to get better rankings, so I hired EZ Rankings to help with my SEO.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

EZ Rankings provided SEO services. I started by giving them 3–4 projects and they did some keywords research and implementation for 4–6 months. I needed to rank for 15 keywords and wanted 4–5 keywords to show up on the first page within three months. In six months, I wanted all of my keywords to show up in the top 10 or top 20 search results. 

What is the team composition?

They had a project manager assigned to my project.

How did you come to work with EZ Rankings?

I found them online. They offered a more affordable package than other companies, so I chose to work with them. 

How much have you invested with them?

I invested $7,000–$8,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked together from January–August 2021.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

I’m very disappointed with the partnership. EZ Rankings never fulfilled their commitment. I worked with them for months and got not a single keyword on the first page of search results. They provided me with a monthly ranking and analytics report, but I was not satisfied with their SEO services. They were only able to rank 25%–30% of the list keywords that I gave them.

Whenever I complained about their work, they would ask for another month, blaming their ineffectiveness on Google’s changing policies and regulations. I had experts in digital marking look into their work and found out that what they were doing wasn’t good at all.

How did EZ Rankings perform from a project management standpoint?

Whenever I contacted them, they listened and responded well. Their communication was good despite the outcome of their work.

What did you find most impressive about them?

One good thing about EZ Rankings is that they were cooperative. From time to time, they implemented changes in the content on my website.

Are there any areas they could improve?

They need to fulfill what they commit to. If they can’t get us to rank on time, they should change the team and have more experienced people in their company.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

If you’re not satisfied after 1–2 months, you should be strict and ask them to fulfill the commitment.

What is the team composition?

We’re in touch with three people from EZ Rankings.

How did you come to work with EZ Rankings?

One of our colleagues referred them to us. We found EZ Rankings on the first page of Google, checked all their reviews, and interacted with some of their clients.

How much have you invested with them?

In total, we have spent $5,000–$10,000 per year.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with EZ Rankings in June 2020, and it’s ongoing.

How did EZ Rankings perform from a project management standpoint?

EZ Rankings has Basecamp in place, where we can check the progress of everything being done. They also help us whenever we have a problem with page-loading speeds on desktop or mobile, even though that’s not in their scope.

What did you find most impressive about them?

We haven’t had any problems with deadlines —  whatever they promise, they deliver on time.

Are there any areas they could improve?

There’s nothing that they could improve. 

Do you have any advice for future clients of theirs?

They just have to follow and implement EZ Rankings’ recommendations.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the Commissioner and Founder of the Staten Island Basketball League. We are one of the oldest leagues in New York City as we enter our 41 st year of operation.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire EZ Rankings?

We needed to find a company that would help us create a viable web site so that we could increase number of players, provide a site for our advertisers, be able to blog, post fotos and TV interviews, videos, etc.

What were your goals for this project?

Our key goal was to make people aware of our group, its rich history, to bring on more players, to add more advertisers.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

I reviewed a number of vendors via Skype meetings and conf calls mostly in the USA and a handful overseas including EZ Rankings. I felt after all the Skype meetings, conferences and viewing the work that these companies did that EZ Rankings would be the group to go with.

My initial concern was speed of communication a they are in India and we are in New York but my concerns were unfounded.I have been able to reach various people at the company day or night, weekends, holiday etc. In fact in many ways communication with them is better then communicating with some groups in New Jersey.

Describe the project and the services they provided in detail.

The projects was to build a viable website from beginning to end and then to maintain that website relative to updates, security, changes , add-ons etc. They provided all services needed initially and on going.

The impact of their work has been powerful and measurable: we receive numerous "hits" per day., inquiries, telephone calls. We have been able to add over 50 new players past few years and increase the number of advertisers on our site.

How was project management arranged and how effective was it?

Each of the professionals I listed had various responsibilities from project management to implementation to follow up/ Well organized

What did you find most impressive about this company?

Communication, honest, directness, professionalism, creativity, implementation, follow up. Historically American people like myself always seem to feel that using companies based overseas to do work for them like what EZ Rankings does us does not work. They have built in biases to working with foreigners which is wrong but has always existed.

Because of my own personal background of having interfaced with people form all over the world during my DHL Airways day I came to understand that people form all over the world can be worked with. In particular I have always looks at India as a fascinating country. Not only because of a rich thousand plus years history but because technologically they are quite advanced as evidenced by EZ Rankings and there people.

Are there any areas for improvement?

I odnt see any at this time.

EZ Rankings has helped our company to rank organically on search engines such as Google. Their team has managed keyword research and generated suitable content, enabling browsers to identify matching materials on our website easily and show relevant results to people who are searching for our services. 

What is the team composition?

We’ve worked with two points of contact. There are additional people that work behind the scenes. I wouldn’t know exactly but they have specialized teams for each task on the backend.

How did you come to work with EZ Rankings?

I found EZ Rankings while searching online. Their website was listed on the top results organically. That’s how I got in touch with them. I received prompt responses and we signed up with them.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I’m a partner at a food business called Sai Kutirs Udara. Our company creates freshly made traditional delicacies, ranging from savory dishes, sweets, syrups, and spices. In my role, I seek to promote our brand.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire EZ Rankings?

Our business is based in the Delhi National Capital Region (NCR), so we’re limited to that area. However, we realized that many of our prospective customers tried to find us online before reaching out personally. As a result, we wanted to develop an informative, SEO-compliant site where people could learn more about us.

What were your goals for this project?

Our objective was to build an online base for future business with a website.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

We found them within our social network; they were prompt and cost-effective, so we decided to move forward with them.

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

We briefed them about our requirements and vision for the future, and they went from there. They were responsible for end-to-end services, including creative and technical site development, SEO strategy and implementation, and maintenance.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Because we have a unique client base, simply having a creative website wouldn’t have much of an impact. However, the website looks great, and we’ve received enthusiastic feedback. Nearly all of the responses commented on how natural our images looked.

How was project management arranged and how effective was it?

EZ Ranking was very responsive to our needs. They completed the tasks to our satisfaction, even when it involved extra effort and time on their part.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

I’d like to reiterate how responsive they were to our needs. Customer satisfaction was their prime objective, and our experience with them reflected that.

Are there any areas where they can improve?

They could do a more thorough final review before sharing the deliverables. This would help improve their efficiency.

Please describe your company and your position there.

NerdPro Solutions offers writing assistance to college students with a focus on post-graduate work. Our writing, editing, proofreading, and tutoring services empower struggling students to manage their priorities. We also produce corporate communications like press releases and financial reports for small to medium-sized businesses.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire EZ Rankings?

We needed custom web design and development for multiple WordPress applications. We also hired them for SEO and PPC work.

What were your goals for this project?

We wanted to establish a best-in-class website that surpassed our competition’s online presence. Within our allotted budget, we hoped to improve rankings and traffic from PPC in a competitive SEO environment.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

Our search focused on award-winning firms with strong reviews who ranked well for their own competitive search terms. EZ Rankings offered the perfect balance of affordability and superior quality.

Describe the project in detail.

This project focused on a major web redesign. EZ Rankings produced custom graphics including a new logo and creative content. They built several custom WordPress apps tailored to our unique needs. The frontend includes a customer portal and review system. Our employees can access the site via the backend admin panel. They had to complete all our demands within a tight, 30-day schedule.

What was the team composition?

EZ Rankings scaled their team to meet our demands. They assigned excellent individual project managers for both web design and SEO respectively. Having constant access to their director of business development helped our project progress smoothly from start to finish. They even worked weekends to get the project done on time with superior results. We didn't have any miscommunications. Rather, we always felt listened to and understood.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

EZ Rankings built us an incredible, highly ranked platform without breaking the bank. The exceptionally beautiful and functional site delivers an incredible user experience for our customers. It really looks breathtaking. Their success is unprecedented in our past experiences with other SEO teams and companies we own.

Most importantly, their SEO and PPC marketing strategy yielded major success. We couldn't be more impressed and happy with the results. Their best-in-class web design obtained real SEO results. Our rankings started at a baseline of zero. Now, we rank in the top 10 for numerous long and shorter longtail keywords. These competitive terms yield significant search volumes for our company.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

Holding regular status meetings with the two project managers streamlined the workflow. It was by far the best I've experienced with an SEO and web design firm. We could track daily progress in Basecamp, and nothing got lost in the shuffle.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

Their attention to minute detail is coupled with a tireless dedication. EZ Rankings is never satisfied until they over-deliver. They’ve achieved exceptional results with web design and development.

Are there any areas for improvement?

Nothing of note; EZ Rankings exceeded our expectations from start to finish.

SOLUTION

What is the team composition?

Aditya [Assistant General Manager, EZ Rankings] is the main person I deal with. I also work with Rakesh [SEO Project Manager, EZ Rankings]. They helped me out with my marketing team of about six people.

$46,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in February 2014 and the work is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

I’ve been using them for 8–10 years. Each time I’ve worked with them, they’ve significantly improved our rankings. We’re consistently on the first page of Google for all of our key target keywords, and we have about 30 keywords. They’re extremely good. $46,000 over four years to get top rankings on Google is a very good investment.

How did EZ Rankings perform from a project management standpoint?

I get a report outlining the keyword positions and how they’ve moved over time. We have regular interaction with them.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They’re very consistent, reliable, and candid. They don’t make promises that they can’t deliver. If I tell them what I’m looking to achieve, they’ll find a way to do it for me.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I haven’t had any issues with them. I had found a few links that had expired and they replaced the links for nothing. That only happened one time and it was immediately corrected.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

You can negotiate—we received a small discount based on the volume of our business with them. They’ve always been great to work with. I can’t recommend them highly enough.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I am the president of Web Presence. We provide IT and software services mainly in the design area, as well as for projects that would involve web or software design.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with EZ Rankings?

We were looking for SEO support for our agency.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement? 

I have worked with some clients providing SEO services, and in turn, I rely on EZ Rankings for backend services. They do link building, sitemap generation, and they provided me with the whole meta tag text that needs to go back on the websites. 

They provided me with all the details that I needed on the website, and I then worked with the clients to get them implemented on their site. In some cases, they have actually gone to the extent of applying the changes themselves, if that has been okay with the end user.

What is the team composition?

I work with 3 people, including the owner once in a while if we have to discuss specific things. On a daily basis, I talk to the lead for this project who is an SEO specialist.

How did you come to work with EZ Rankings?

Their business model has been working well for me for the last several years. They’re very cost effective.

How much have you invested in them?

I have spent around $6,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We began working together in 2011 and the relationship is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

I’m very happy with them, as they do a good job. Once in a while, I get references from their other clients, and they have all good things to say about them.

They send me a complete detailed report every month. One is about how the keywords are doing against all the parameters on submission to different directories. On a monthly basis, they also share the channel report from Google Analytics, and another analytics reports from Google. In addition, they compile a spreadsheet which covers all the areas; link building, social networks, and other tabs. After I glance through it, I forward those to my end users.

How did EZ Rankings perform from a project management standpoint?

We usually communicate through emails, text messaging, and one the phone. So far, we have used Google Docs, OfficeSuite as well as Excel. We haven’t had the need to use any collaborative tools.

They are very driven and motivated, and it is good to talk to them because they always have a positive attitude.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They are fairly accurate when they make a prediction, in the sense that they are committed to bringing our ratings up. They work well within the timeframe they give.

Are there any areas they could improve?

They are on the right track, but it would be helpful for customers if they brought in some more automation and more illustrations on their reports. Not that anyone has said anything, but I think as we move on, it would be good to keep striving for a better way to present the information.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

They work best if they have an interface in between. If someone needs to have SEO work done and they are in the US or anywhere else, it would be easier to work through someone interfacing in between, as it works out pretty well. I have worked with a lot of overseas service providers, and as I am from the same culture, the language barrier is not there. I find them easy to work with.
