Feedback summary: 

Ignite Visibility’s tactics have been instrumental in cultivating a digital footprint. Their efforts have driven both search rankings and site traffic. While they could be more proactive in suggesting industry-tailored approaches, their diligent project management makes them strong partners.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I’m the director of information systems and data compliance at IRISYS, LLC. We’re a pharma contract manufacturing and development company. In my role, I managed the digital marketing project.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Ignite Visibility?

We’d just redone our website but had no online presence, digital marketing knowledge, nor plan. As a result, we reached out to Ignite Visibility to provide a digital marketing strategy.

What were your goals for this project?

Our main objective was to increase our online presence to get more customers.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

We met with about six different agencies before selecting Ignite Visibility. They presented a more complete proposal than the other companies, and their prices were reasonable.

Describe the scope of their work in detail.

Ignite Visibility presented a comprehensive digital marketing plan that included SEO, conversion rate optimization (CRO), press releases, blogging, PR outreach, and social media management. Afterward, they divvied the tasks and managed our digital marketing efforts. They now continue to provide ongoing services as needed.

What was the team composition?

The team consists of an account rep, project manager, SEO expert, and social media expert.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We’ve increased our Google search rankings substantially, which has driven 150% more traffic to our site.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

Their workflow is very effective. They use Basecamp to organize all of the tasks and manage the whole project.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

They’re very organized and meticulous when managing our project. They present all deliverables on time, properly check off tasks in Basecamp, and make themselves available for phone calls when we have questions.

Are there any areas for improvement?

Instead of adhering to the specifics on our original contract, we wish they would be more adaptable and take the initiative to recommend strategy changes that would better fit our industry. We’ve made some changes in the end, but it took a while to figure things out.

Traffic and conversions have grown thanks to Ignite Visibility’s efforts. They use professional task management and a highly organized process to ensure transparency and client satisfaction. Rapid turnaround time and dedication to delivering milestones on-time are hallmarks of their service.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I’m the marketing and admissions director of Sheer Recovery LLC, a drug and alcohol abuse treatment center. We offer all levels of care including detox, in-patient, and out-patient services from a residential location.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Ignite Visibility?

We contracted Ignite Visibility primarily for SEO, though they also do PPC and social media management.

What were your goals for this project?

We wanted to improve our website’s overall functionality, relevance, and keyword rankings.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

A trusted friend and successful business owner recommended them to me. I have extensive experience in SEO, and Sheer operates in one of the most competitive online search industries, so choosing a good vendor was of the utmost importance. Ignite Visibility exceeded all my expectations.

Describe the project in detail.

They’re working with us on an ongoing optimization effort to increase our domain strength and page rank on Google, Yahoo, and Bing. In 12 months, Ignite Visibility has refreshed our website and added multiple pages of content and new conversion techniques. I expected them to have trouble developing content for our industry because so few understand it competently, but they published good research and commentary with our press releases.

What was the team composition?

I have weekly phone reviews to check their progress and add insight into ongoing projects. The conference usually consists of the project manager, social media manager, content writers, and developers when necessary.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

More than anything, they do what they say they’ll do, which more than I can say for many vendors. The Ignite team has increased our overall traffic by 30% and grown our conversions via on-site techniques.

How did the Ignite Visibility perform from a project management standpoint?

Their team is great to work with. Our weekly conference calls and email updates keep everything organized, and they turn requests around quickly, even last-minute ones. We can always rely on Ignite to get the job done.

What impresses you about the Ignite Visibility?

Their task organization and milestone approach were good to see. I was able to track their work. Seeing things completed week to week was a big relief.

Are there any areas for improvement?

I’m very satisfied with Ignite Visibility’s services.

Feedback summary: 

In only three months, Ignite Visibility has managed to reduce ad spend and increase the rate and volume of conversion. Their unwavering determination for success gets them through difficult tasks, while their aptitude for strategy positions them for success.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the director of marketing at Universal Funding Corporation, an invoice factoring company. We help companies resolve cashflow gap issues through lending. 

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Ignite Visibility?

We were spending a significant amount of funds on digital advertising, but the quality and quantity of our leads were steadily decreasing. We needed to find a more qualified PPC specialist who could deliver profitable results.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Ignite Visibility has a full suite of digital marketing services, but we only needed them to help us to refine our PPC marketing efforts. Before initiating any new campaigns, they reviewed our Google AdWords profile and removed all of the unnecessary keywords and paid features that weren’t yielding results. They started with Google ads and eventually expanded our ad reach to Bing and various social media platforms. Their team also helped us create new landing pages.

What is the team composition?

Two PPC specialists are assigned to our account.

How did you come to work with Ignite Visibility?

We searched online for Premier Google Partners and found Ignite Visibility.

How much have you invested with them?

Including ad spend and management fees, we pay a little more than $70,000 each month.

What is the status of this engagement?

They started managing our PPC accounts in June 2018.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We didn’t realize how poorly our Google AdWords account was performing until Ignite Visibility pointed out all of the inefficiencies. In three months, they miraculously increased our conversion rate by 300%, increased our conversion volume by 12%, and reduced our cost-per-click. With our previous PPC provider, we only saw 50% conversion from our monthly $80,000 ad spend. Ignite Visibility has decreased our waste spend dramatically, so we’re finally getting a positive ROI.

How did Ignite Visibility perform from a project management standpoint?

Basecamp is our central communication hub, but we also have weekly phone conferences to review their progress and discuss updates and action items. They always send a follow-up email to summarize the meeting and address any of our questions. We also have access to the Data Studio account where all of our metrics are aggregated. They’re very action-oriented in regard to deadlines; we’re notified in advance if the timeline needs to be adjusted.

What did you find most impressive about them?

No one understands the intricacies of PPC marketing better than Ignite Visibility. We assumed that it would take six months to see results, but it only took their genius team 90 days to maximize our profits. While our previous vendor simply followed what’s outlined in the scope, Ignite Visibility works diligently to find strategies that work for us.

Are there any areas they could improve?

Although there’s always room for improvement, I’ve haven’t noticed any red flags while working with them.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

For the best results, view the engagement as a group effort. It’s important to ask them a lot of questions to understand the impact that their work makes.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I’m the CMO for DataPath, Inc., a software company in the benefits administration market. My responsibilities include branding, communications, social media, product marketing, PR, and promotions.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Ignite Visibility?

We were looking for someone to manage our social media and provide ongoing SEO guidance.

What were your goals for this project?

We were aiming to maintain our engagement rates’ position in the market and grow our organic traffic significantly.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

We conducted a standard RFP process and then met individually with the finalists. We ultimately decided on Ignite Visibility because their proposed action plan proved to be better and more comprehensive than their competitors'. They weren't the most affordable, but their proposed rates were reasonable.

Describe the project in detail.

Our engagement is less an isolated project and more an ongoing effort. That being said, we did establish a statement of work (SOW) and an internal, quarterly project plan. We meet regularly to discuss the progress of items listed in both the SOW and the project plan. After working with Ignite Visibility for a little while, we also started utilizing their PPC services.

What was the team composition?

We generally work with a project manager, a social media analyst, and a PPC analyst.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We lead all our competitors in social media followers and engagement and have seen more than 200% year-over-year growth in organic traffic from unique visitors. Our keywords rankings have also exhibited steady growth. We’re pleased to be hitting the annual goals we've developed for our SOW and project plans.

How did the Ignite Visibility perform from a project management standpoint?

Our Ignite Visibility project manager is fantastic. We meet once a week via phone, and she keeps us updated with weekly status reports. She’s highly responsive to our questions and concerns.

What impresses you about the Ignite Visibility?

Ignite has an extremely talented team that listens to our needs and then works hard to meet them. They have a deep understanding of digital marketing that has proved invaluable as we create strategies to move our company forward.

Are there any areas for improvement?

There’ve been a few areas we've identified in the past but they addressed those items quickly and sufficiently. They’re a rapidly growing company, so my only suggestion to them would be to focus on maintaining the great level of customer service they currently offer.

Feedback summary: 

While Ignite Visibility’s SEO and PPC efforts have yet to impact online growth, their emails marketing has doubled the monthly profits. Their customer-oriented approach to business is what sets them apart from their competitors.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the CEO of an online marketplace that specializes in hemp-based wellness products.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Ignite Visibility?

Our site traffic had decreased significantly over the past two years, so we were in desperate need of an SEO provider.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Their original scope only included their SEO services. In an attempt to improve our search engine ranking, they produced an SEO campaign and fixed all of the 404 errors, broken links, and other technical issues that decreased our rank. They also provide consulting services for our content staff. We eventually added email marketing and PPC services to their scope of work.

What is the team composition?

Three leads were assigned to our account for SEO, email marketing, and PPC respectively.

How did you come to work with Ignite Visibility?

We reached out to them after reading their impressive reviews on Clutch. They had previous success with other online stores, so we decided to work with them.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent $100,000 with them so far. After adding PPC and email services, our monthly fees increased from $6,000 to $12,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

Our partnership began in October 2017 and is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Our email-based revenue has increased from $30,000 to $60,000 since bringing Ignite Visibility on board. Unfortunately, we haven’t experienced any success with their SEO and PPC services; rather, organic growth has dropped by 40%. Although our results to date have been disappointing, we understand that a lot of external factors contribute to our traffic decline.

How did Ignite Visibility perform from a project management standpoint?

Expectations were established during the early stages of the project, and they continue to surpass communication goals. We have weekly phone conferences with the SEO and email teams, while the PPC team sends us emails sporadically.

What did you find most impressive about them?

We enjoy working with them because they go above and beyond to accommodate our needs.

Are there any areas they could improve?

We receive regular reports from the email team, but we don’t get any documentation for PPC and SEO. Having access to our metrics could give us more insight on which techniques are working and which strategies aren’t effective.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Any company with a mailing list of more than 100,000 customers should consider hiring Ignite Visibility to maximize profits.

I’m the IT Director of Vallarta Adventures Group, a company that specializes in adventure and ecotourism in Mexico.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Ignite Visibility?

Our leadership decided to have two different agencies work on our website’s issues for one year. Ignite Visibility was one of those vendors.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Ignite Visibility has worked on SEO, PPC, and email campaigns. They learned the different areas of our business and made a list of suggestions for SEO and design improvements. The latter included images and colors. The team uses Google Analytics and has taught us how the tool works.

What is the team composition?

We’ve worked with them on three different projects. We’ve had a different project manager for each project.

How did you come to work with Ignite Visibility?

How much have you invested with them?

We spend around $50,000 per month.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with Ignite in February 2018 and the partnership is currently paused while we test another company. I’m sure that we’ll be back to working with Ignite in the near future.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Ignite Visibility exceeded the scope to optimize the website and boost our sales. The team is very knowledgeable about Google Analytics.

How did Ignite Visibility perform from a project management standpoint?

One of the project managers was particularly amazing to work with. The team is always available to solve problems, make changes, or respond to a comment. That level of service is important to us. As a team, Ignite Visibility is easy to collaborate with; they are professional and understand our requirements. We communicate via Basecamp.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Their SEO skills are very good.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I don’t know how Ignite Visibility could improve because they’re already giving their best effort. Every resource is responsible and dedicated. Even the CEO participates in meetings.

Do you have any advice for future clients of theirs?

I wasn’t happy about ending the relationship with them. I know that they’re a competitive and professional company, and so does our CEO. Our CEO has referred them to other companies.

What is the team composition?

We work mostly with their VP, our campaign manager, and 2–3 other members of their team.

Feedback summary: 

Ignite Visibility’s detailed-oriented efforts have already produced results, including significant increases in both organic rankings and leads. Professional, committed, and experienced, the team executes efficient and responsive project management and remains flexible to changes in project scope.  

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the president and CEO of a residential home services business located just north of San Diego, California. We provide heating, air conditioning, plumbing, and drain services to homeowners in San Diego County and the southern portion of Riverside County.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Ignite Visibility?

We purchased the company in March 2016 from an owner who had neglected the business for several years. The company's online presence had become outdated and ineffective, so we engaged Ignite Visibility to revive our SEO efforts.

What were your goals for this project?

Our goal was to improve our website’s organic performance in order to generate high quality, incremental leads for better business growth. 

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

We interviewed several agencies that were ranked highly for SEO performance, but were very impressed with all of our interactions with the Ignite Visibility team.

Describe the project in detail.

After completing a detailed questionnaire about our business and project goals, we began participating in weekly conference calls with the team via Basecamp to review project direction, action item and deliverable status, and performance results. 

What was the team composition?

Ignite Visibility assigned us a team consisting of a project team lead, a technical expert, and a social media expert. 

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Though early in the process, we have seen a significant increase in our page one organic rankings, to which our organic leads have also proportionally increased.

How did the Ignite Visibility perform from a project management standpoint?

The team's commitments were completed according to their proposed schedule.  They were also very flexible and accommodating to other items that we introduced throughout the process.

What impresses you about the Ignite Visibility?

Ignite Visibility has been the perfect partner for us to reinvigorate our SEO campaign. We have been extremely impressed with their professionalism, expertise, level of communication, and project planning as they navigate the process of upgrading our outdated website. They are world-class experts in their field and their level of customer service is truly remarkable.

Are there any areas for improvement?

There are none that I have seen. They are well deserving of the outstanding reputation that attracted us to them in the first place.

The Review
Feedback summary: 

Ignite’s upfront approach establishes project expectations within the limitations of SEO. Quantifiable results were achieved within several months of work. Now, sales through Google search and social media consistently increase each month, while the website’s bounce rate steadily decreases.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the founder of a company that sells hair care products like extensions and wigs through various e-commerce websites.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Ignite Visibility?

Our websites weren’t performing close to our standards. We got some sales through Instagram and Facebook, but none from Google searches. I needed a marketing firm to provide SEO.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

I designed our French-Canadian website with a developer over a short time frame. The first thing Ignite did towards the SEO effort was analyze the technical aspect of the platform. They found a lot of errors in the site’s code, so they restructured how the URLs work. This included renaming certain URLs and adding products to specific categories. These technical revisions helped improve the site’s overall performance. To further increase our Google ranking, they send weekly keyword lists that are integrated into the website’s content. They have a French-speaking team member who writes two blog posts for us every 2–3 months.

With the success of the SEO project, we recently hired Ignite to also manage our social media marketing. They gave us a calendar that outlines when to post different materials like pictures, videos, quotes, and reminds us to engage with our followers. We now use hashtags on every post and added our social media links and icons to the website. Ignite also added the Facebook pixel to the site so visitors will then see our Facebook ads. From there, we can track conversions to see how much sales were generated and make adjustments whenever needed.

We work with Ignite on a similar project for one of our different websites. It uses the same business model, but the domain is different to target English-Canadian markets. Both projects function on an ongoing contract.

What is the team composition?

A project manager and their assistant are my primary points of contact. They occasionally involve other specialists from their team to provide specific expertise when necessary.

How did you come to work with Ignite Visibility?

I previously worked with another SEO agency, but the traffic their services provided was inconsistent and didn’t increase sales. I used Clutch to search for a company in the United States or Canada with excellent reviews. Ignite seemed like the best option.

How much have you invested with them?

So far, we’ve spent $70,000–$75,000 in total.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in February 2017 and then engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The process was slow at first, but we began to see measurable results after 3–4 months. The website’s bounce rate is down significantly and continues to trend in that direction. Through Google Analytics, we’ve seen sales from searches and social media reliably increase each month. Ignite did an amazing job, even with the French website.

How did Ignite Visibility perform from a project management standpoint?

I routinely call the project manager and their assistant once a week but have to ability to do so whenever necessary. We primarily use Basecamp for communications and updates. They installed Google Analytics and Google Webmaster on our websites so we can easily track marketing information.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They’re really transparent and have no problem with honesty. They told me upfront that SEO takes a long time to generate results and would require a several month commitment. I appreciated that forthrightness because other companies said I’d be at the top of Google, but would neglect to mention the time-investment required. Additionally, Ignite never makes up solutions. If I ask them a question, they investigate to find the correct answer.

Are there any areas they could improve?

They could be more affordable. Their cost is quite high and not what I’m used to paying for marketing. It would be great if they had prices listed on their website and an alternative pricing plan for new businesses. Also, some of the French keywords they provided didn’t make sense for my industry. Nevertheless, they did an amazing job, even on the French website.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Ignite’s services are likely too expensive for startup companies. The results are great, but their premium price necessitates an existing customer base and stable revenue streams.
