Growth Saloon

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the marketing director at a plaintiff's personal injury law firm. Our firm operates in both the mass tort space and single incident personal injury litigation. We take a digital-first marketing approach.

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

We hired Growth Saloon for on-site content optimization with the intention of increasing traffic to high-value pages. After Growth Saloon greatly overdelivered on the initial project, we hired them on as contract partners to assist in a range of SEO-oriented projects.

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

Mike, the CEO of Growth Saloon reached out to me directly via email. Unlike other email solicitations that I frequently receive, Mike was upfront about the problems that he found on our website after running an audit. Rather than trying to sell me on a service, he provided solutions and even encouraged me to contact him directly so he could walk me through steps to fix these problems. In our initial conversation, he displayed an impressive work ethic and a vast knowledge of SEO. After that, working with Growth Saloon was an easy choice.

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

Growth Saloon worked to improve our local SEO for legal services our firm offers in both the Chicago & St. Louis areas. The team ran content audits, made content rewrites, helped to reorganize the site structure, improved page functionality, and worked on a number of off-page SEO strategies such as improving our Google My Business profiles in those markets. Now, they are helping us to rebuild our site onto a faster and more operable frame while also expanding their SEO efforts across different parts of our website.

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

Mike is the CEO. I have worked directly with him on most of the projects. Kolton is a developer. I have just began working with him on the new site rebuild project.

Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?

On the 9 pages that the team has been working on for the past month, our rankings have increased by at least 10 positions. These are high-value keywords. Thus far, they have overdelivered.

Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.

Growth Saloon is the fastest working SEO firm I have worked with in my 6 years in the industry. Their communication is fantastic. I have the ability to reach out to them via Slack, email, or a text and can always expect to hear back from them within 30 minutes, even after hours.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

I have worked with a ton of SEO firms over the past half-decade and I have never come across anyone who comes even remotely close to Mike and his team in terms of work ethic and dedication to the project at hand. What is most impressive to me is that they will find and fix issues that are not related to tasks at hand, even when these fixes are not part of the budget. It really just shows that they are dedicated to helping their business partners as much as they can.

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

Honestly, no.
