Growth Natives

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the director of Leventm Technologies, a semiconductor company. We provide other services in other domains as well like AI.

What challenge were you trying to address with Atcore Digital?

We had a very basic website that wasn’t that good. We wanted someone to help us revamp it.

What was the scope of their involvement?

They designed and developed our website and helped with SEO. Rather than build it from scratch, they revamped our old website. They’ve also helped us do digital marketing, covering SEO, Google, and LinkedIn. Further, they proposed we start working on HubSpot marketing automation.

For SEO, they had a couple of meetings. This involved looking at different companies providing the same services we are as references and coming up with keywords to use in our content. We created the content and then they reviewed it. We did a couple of iterations.

What is the team composition?

There was a developer, a marketing resource, and two other people.

How did you come to work with Atcore Digital?

They were recommended to me. We surveyed other companies as well, but Atcore Digital offered what we needed at a reasonable cost. I’ve gotten really good feedback about them.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent $3,500 so far.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in April 2019, and the work is ongoing.

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

We have seen a lot of traction in the last 30-40 days; a lot of people are contacting us. We’re not doing any other kind of advertising, but people are visiting our website more. There’s a tracker on our website.

How did Atcore Digital perform from a project management standpoint?

Project management is fine. Initially, there were a few hiccups in deciding what to do, but it was quite smooth after we got started. I really appreciate them because they made us aware of so many things we didn’t think about before. They also took some time to understand what exactly we were looking for.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They’re good and reasonable. They have a lot of experience.

Are there any areas they could improve?

They should be a little more organized when they start a project. They should also look at the latest and greatest platforms. We did it on WordPress, but there are more advanced ones out there. Maybe they do, but they never proposed them to us.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Really look at the pricing carefully. They’re reasonable, but make sure you look at what they’re offering. People might get a wonderful deal if they collaborate together.

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

We searched for some providers in multiple platforms and regions. We then contacted companies who had used the services of these companies before to get some feedback. We picked Growth Natives because we received some good first hand experience feedback, and because their quote was very reasonable.

They are always quick to reply, and they make sure they've understood the needs correctly.

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

At the beginning they didn't let us know when we requested changes that were out of scope, so it was a surprise to us when they came to us saying they would send us a new quote to take into account this changes. But then we clarified what was mis-communicated and afterwards we never has this issue again.
