I’m the manager at HFA Society, a health society that helps people suffering from different diseases. We’re also doing a charity here and taking care of the people who don’t have money to take care of their health.

What challenge were you trying to address with IndeedSEO?

We wanted to reach more people through Google search and social media.

What was the scope of their involvement?

IndeedSEO works on SEO and social media marketing. They do some PPC work as well. The team runs our marketing campaigns for Facebook and Instagram, as well as a little bit on LinkedIn.

What is the team composition?

I work with two people. They assigned me a project manager and a team leader.

How did you come to work with IndeedSEO?

I found different companies in a Google search. We had a meeting with them and finalized with IndeedSEO.

How much have you invested with them?

We invested $250,000–$300,000

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in December 2018 and the work is ongoing.

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

We have all the data with us and we compare how things are moving. We have scrum meetings and get all the data. We are still working with IndeedSEO because we continue to see an increase in our online engagement.

How did IndeedSEO perform from a project management standpoint?

They respond to our calls and questions we have.

What did you find most impressive about them?

The quality IndeedSEO delivers and their engagement is something we haven’t found anywhere else.

Are there any areas they could improve?

There’s nothing I’d have them improve.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

It’s a great experience working with IndeedSEO. They’re implementing whatever new things are updated by Google. They give us ideas.

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I run my own company called Ekamtools. I manufacture tools such as wrenches, vices, etc.

What challenge were you trying to address with IndeedSEO?

I wanted to increase traffic to my site. I’m in the Indian market and I wanted to sell my product overseas in Europe and Africa. 

What was the scope of their involvement?

I originally approached them work on my site’s SEO, but they also did a promotion of my product. After the promotion, I received some queries from Europe and Africa. I don’t know the procedure they follow. I only asked them to promote my site on an international level.

How did you come to work with IndeedSEO?

One of my friends was working with them. He told me they were getting good results. I approached them and decided to go with them.

How much have you invested with them?

I spend $3,000-$4,000 per month.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in February 2017, and the work is ongoing.

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

They’ve helped me to increase my business 20% over the last eight months. Before working with IndeedSEO,  I was only in the Indian market. They’ve helped me expand to Europe and Africa.

How did IndeedSEO perform from a project management standpoint?

From my point of view, they are performing well. They get the results I need and give me value for my money. They provide me with regular updates. We talk over the phone or via email. They respond very fast.

What did you find most impressive about them?

This was my first time working with an SEO company. We didn’t have any problems and so I decided to continue to work with them. They’re great for quality, commitment, and responsiveness.

Are there any areas they could improve?

They charge higher rates. They could improve that. They would get more customers if they dropped their rates.

Introduce your business and what you do there.

Ecostan deals with a line of renewable-energy machines used to make bio-coal. This can be done from anything, from agricultural to forest waste. We manufacture chippers, choppers for cutting down tree shrubs and agricultural waste, and converting it into fuel with the use of bricketing machines. I am the director of marketing for the company. We have around 250 employees.

What challenge were you trying to address with IndeedSEO?

Our production lines were good, but we were not getting that much online traffic. We needed to gain as much as we could, and attract customers. We had spent $25,000 to $30,000 on AdWords over 6 months, which was too much. We had been using a local provider in Ludhiana, but they were not very good.

What was the scope of their involvement?

IndeedSEO was given the job of creating a new website for us, Ecostan.com, to see how much business they could bring to us. There was no presence on Google for the website, but the work started progressing. After 2-3 months, the website started appearing on the seventh or eighth page of Google. Some keywords are on the fourth page, and some are on the first.

We gave them the idea of how to do the website, based on which IndeedSEO created its pages. They setup backlinks for boosting the website. The content for the website is provided by both our company and IndeedSEO.

Their primary focuses have been SEO and social media like Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram and so on. After seeing their performance, we have also handed them our AdWords account for management.

We gave them a specific keywords list. It took 6-7 months for all the keywords to appear on Google. In the initial stage, only 2-3 of them were there, but, after a few months, all keywords started appearing.

How did you come to work with IndeedSEO?

We were using a local company, but we weren’t satisfied with their performance. My marketing team found some local teams who could do the job, including IndeedSEO. We looked at their work, including 2-3 websites they were working on, and thought they could do the job. We asked them to work on our new website, to show their potential.

How much have you invested with them?

Right now, we have a budget of $10,000 to $15,000 for six months for SEO work. We are spending $25,000 to $30,000 on AdWords for the same period. In total, the budget is around $45,000. The budget was not the point, but whether we could get our keywords on the first page.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with IndeedSEO one year ago or a little more, in 2016. The relationship is ongoing, and we don’t have any other partners. We are also giving IndeedSEO a new project for the website of a different company.

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

We are getting more traffic than before, which is helpful for our business. IndeedSEO is good and we are satisfied with their work.

The brand name Ecostan was launched one and a half years ago, and we wanted to find a group which could handle marketing and sales for different markets. The look-and-feel IndeedSEO gave us is good. Customers have been saying that it’s informative.

Three to four months after starting the work with them, we found that they could do the job.

How did IndeedSEO perform from a project management standpoint?

They are very responsive and informative. Anytime we need something, we can give them a call or send an email, and get a quick response. IndeedSEO clearly detailed the budget for anything we needed. Their customer interaction is very good. On our side, I and my assistant were in charge of communication with IndeedSEO. We’ve had a main contact from their side, and a second person who took part in corporate calls. Around 90% of the work is done via email, and 10% over the phone.

What did you find most impressive about them?

We had a clear picture of the work. Other people in the market gave us a fake picture, claiming they could bring us to the first page of Google for our keywords after 3-4 months, but IndeedSEO told us that the work could take 7-8 months, or go up to one year, since our website was new and keywords are very competitive.

Are there any areas they could improve?

They’ve worked well so far.

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the Owner and a Marketing Consultant for attorneys at iSavvy.com. I mostly help attorneys pick the vendors that they use to do their marketing. You name it, the Internet, radio, TV, billboards, whatever it takes to help the attorneys to market their legal service. I generally sit in, negotiate with the vendors, and help them create an overall strategy for marketing.

What challenge were you trying to address with IndeedSEO?

I've used them for more than one thing, but initially, I had a client who had a really bad review on a disreputable review site. The site does a good job of SEO, and their business model is, essentially, to slam attorneys. If the attorney will pay them, then the review will go away. I hired IndeedSEO to push that negative rating down, and in fact, they did, they pushed the rating down to page three on Google. I would call that reputation management type SEO.

What was the scope of their involvement?

We basically use them for two things, reputation management and Google paid advertising.

For the reputation management, they started to do blog posting and directory linking to the lawyer's major profiles. Lawyers have many services trying to offer them a paid profile, and we utilized multiple paid profiles for this attorney to bump them up to page one. Essentially, IndeedSEO used SEO for all the other profiles with blog listings and links to get the profiles to go up onto page one of Google. Eventually, we backed up page two of Google, bumping the negative review all the way down to page three.

After that, we had them setup Google AdWords pay-per-click and Google AdWords digital advertising. Both their pay-per-clicks are on the search network, where if somebody Googles, "Hey, I want a lawyer in such and such town", they come up at the very top page listing. Then there's also the display advertising. When someone's not searching for a lawyer, but reading a related article on a different website, we wanted to do some branding. IndeedSEO would go into Google for us and set that up, and we would set the budget.  

How did you come to work with IndeedSEO?

I was referred to them by another company that I used, a software development company. I told them what I needed and they referred me to IndeedSEO. I tried them out and they did a great job.

How much have you invested with them?

Between $10,000 and $50,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We began in March 2015 and the collaboration is still ongoing.

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

We needed that bad result off of page one and they did it.

How did IndeedSEO perform from a project management standpoint?

Their communication is stellar. They give reports on a regular basis without me having to ask for them, they reach out to me which is good. When you're a business owner, you don't want to have to hunt down people that are doing a job for you. You want the information just available so that when you need it and you're ready for it, you can go get it. They're probably my best vendor in that sense. Our communication has been through Skype, email, and live chat. I've never actually talked to them on the phone.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They get the job done and they do a good job. They also do it at a really good price which is good for me because then as a reseller, I can mark it up and make a profit which is important. They're a really good company to work with.

Are there any areas they could improve?

Not really, they've been pretty stellar. I've only used them for a couple of projects but they've never dropped the ball.

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the CEO of a hospital where we provide IVF services.

What challenge were you trying to address with IndeedSEO?

We approached them for SEO, PPC, and Facebook and LinkedIn marketing services.

What was the scope of their involvement?

IndeedSEO took one month for research and discovery, and we then signed a contract and established the keywords we were going to target, as well as the PPC value of each keyword.

We focused on 60 keywords to start, and we expanded that list when our budget expanded. Then, we started targeting several cities in Canada, Italy, and the US.

IndeedSEO recommended a lot of changes to our website as well, including title tags and structural improvements to help the speed of the site. Finally, they post on social media for us.

What is the team composition?

We worked with one PPC resource, one SEO resource, and two social media marketing resources.

How did you come to work with IndeedSEO?

They were recommended to us. A friend of mine had worked with them for a couple of years

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent $60,000–$70,000 with them to date.

What is the status of this engagement?

We’ve been working together since March 2019.

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

We’re ranking on the first page for more than 50%–60% of our keywords in the cities we’re targeting.

How did IndeedSEO perform from a project management standpoint?

They’re good. I communicate through a manager, providing feedback on pictures and content for social media. We communicate over the phone and email.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They give us value. Our social media presence and Google rankings are improving significantly.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I don’t have any comment on this.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

They could write with more follow-ups. As a director of a hospital, I have a lot of things going on, so IndeedSEO could follow up with more information so things don’t fall through the cracks.

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the president of Colour Powder Australia. Our clients include school groups, concert groups, and municipal groups for events. 

What challenge were you trying to address with IndeedSEO?

Our company didn’t have much of a web presence established in Australia.  We had started off with a template website. I needed a company to provide elementary SEO work to make our website easier to find on Google.

What was the scope of their involvement?

IndeedSEO worked on my website’s SEO. We worked together to develop a keyword list. I suggested several options, and the team came back at me with another set to target. Since I don’t have a technology background, I happily accepted their recommendations. IndeedSEO contributes to my social media accounts to generate traffic, as well. I leave the strategy entirely up to them and never feel compelled to check it. 

What is the team composition? 

I mainly communicate with Gurpreet (Founder and CEO, IndeedSEO).
 
How did you come to work with IndeedSEO?

I found them through Upwork. 

What is the status of this engagement?

We’ve been working together since 2016.

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

IndeedSEO provides a good value for the money I invest in their services. They produce the results I want, and I even recommended them to my brother. I’m focused on whether I’m getting sales, and more people have been visiting my website since our engagement. When I search the usual keywords on Google every once in a while, the results show my company listed.

How did IndeedSEO perform from a project management standpoint?

We receive an automated email once a week with various stats and socials. I can reply to discuss these reports if I want to. Our communication is effective.

What did you find most impressive about them?

I’m impressed with IndeedSEO’s effectiveness. Furthermore, I’m happy with the rates they charge.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No.

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the owner of Backyard Valley Tea, a specialty tea company.

What challenge were you trying to address with IndeedSEO?

We needed help with web development and digital marketing.

What was the scope of their involvement?

IndeedSEO did my online web store creation using Shopify. The team then provided me with social media management and digital marketing support. They managed the content and ran the ads. They also did my SEO. They handle any small changes or updates. 

What is the team composition?

There are four different people I connect with. There’s a customer relation manager, someone who takes care of the store and the SEO, a graphic designer who designs all the posts and content for my social media, and a developer if I need any kind of plugin. 

There’s one more person that has been taking care of all my projects specifically but I didn’t interact with him as much. He’s the managing director of the company.

How did you come to work with IndeedSEO?

A few of my colleagues are also running stores, and they suggested IndeedSEO. I also saw them in a Google search and on Clutch.

How much have you invested with them?

We ‘ve spent 1.5 lakhs (approximately $2,000 USD). The whole budget is going to be 2.5 lakhs (approximately $3,400 USD).including the digital marketing and social media management.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in February 2020. It’s still a continuous process.

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

They delivered what we expected. As of yesterday, they’ve provided us 600% more traffic compared to six weeks ago. It was a really huge boost. 

IndeedSEO’s services also gave us a really good ranking on the Google page. They’re still working on it. It’s not on the top of the Google search engine but it is on the first page. It was really good.

How did IndeedSEO perform from a project management standpoint?

Their project management style is really good. Anything that bothered me or any kind of reports or requests that I wanted, they provided it immediately. I can’t remember any kind of delay that I had. In some places, they provided me some extra services. 

Once, I requested to implement something on my store and they implemented it on the wrong portion of the page. When I asked them to change it, they did so right away and they gave us a few extra features on top of that.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They did a really great job. I’m really happy with their SEO service. That’s been really noticeable. We have connections who have given us feedback that we’re growing really fast when it comes to SEO. They weren’t expecting a new store to rank this well this quickly.

Are there any areas they could improve?

They could be a little quicker with small tasks. I gave them plenty of time to complete all kinds of work but sometimes, when there’s a very small job, they still took an hour or two to complete it even though it was a five-minute job. I didn’t give them a time limit that they have to complete the job though.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

You’ll have a good experience working with IndeedSEO. They’re really good at what they do. They deliver what they promise. Just go with them. Their service is great.

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

IndeedSEO has boosted our organic rankings. Our keywords went from the second and third pages of Google to the first page, within the first five listings; many of our keywords rank number one. Our site and blog pages are also on the first page of Google. We’ve experienced a significant increase in site traffic and in the volume of phone calls that we receive.

They’ve fulfilled our requirements and continue to do so. We communicate with IndeedSEO’s SEO specialist via email 2–3 times weekly.

We felt they did not deliver what was promised, and we canceled our contract, asking for money back.

How did IndeedSEO perform from a project management standpoint?

They were not available or responsive. When they did meet a deadline, it was due to my pushing them.

Are there any areas they could improve?

They did not deliver the promised services. They were not professional or timely in their actions. We didn’t feel that they treated our issues with any kind of importance.

They support and provide in a great way. I communicate directly with the project manager.

They’re very punctual. We like that we get the results and statistics every Monday at the same time—they provide us with all the details without missing anything. They’ve always offered the support we needed and the results they promised.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, everything was good.
