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

We discussed each step of the project together with Livepage. We had regular meetings where they showed us the results and plans for the next period.

Also, Livepage helped us to create and optimize our strategically important pages

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

My position is Technical Director at UCtel. We are engaged in the sale and installation of equipment that helps to strengthen the mobile signal. Poor indoor mobile coverage is a fairly common problem in England because old buildings have very thick walls.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

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

We wanted to make our site a platform for generating B2B leads for the in-building mobile signal solutions service, as previously, we only received leads from our partners.

SOLUTION

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

A clear plan focused on results, experienced professionals, and great communications.

Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and marking tools used.

We understood that it was necessary to start a project with SEO from the very beginning, since the result can be obtained very slowly. Moreover, at the early stages of the project, we connected a marketing team which helped identify our goal setting, a clear development plan, develop the site structure, and content plan. At the stage of forming a new site structure, there was a marketer who wrote the content, an SEO specialist who helped us with SEO recommendations, and a designer who designed templates for new pages.

At the same time, the analyst was setting up analytics so that later we could track conversions and user behavior on the site. This "development stage" lasted about 2-3 months, after which we had an excellent site, which almost immediately began to generate traffic and leads. Then we connected a "mini" marketing activity as a designer developed a design for a van in which we carry equipment. It also increased our recognition quite well.

2 months ago, for a bigger boost, we connected PPC and immediately realised how important it is to engage in marketing in a complex. Where one activity drops, another replaces it, and everything goes together. PPC also gave us a certain sales boost. Now we continue to fill the site with useful content, monitor the technical integrity of the site and run ads.

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

About six people worked with us; the number could change depending on the needs of the services.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We have a report in Data Studio, which contains all the information I need on traffic, pages, and users. Also, Livepage sends me a weekly summary of PPC results.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

From the very first meeting, we found a common language, and there were never any problems in communication. The team was always ready to answer my questions and find a solution to any problem we might have.

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

I like the complex approach that the Livepage team offers. Absolutely all team members work together; everyone is aware of what is happening on the project. We have one common goal - to increase our service sales, and the team is making every effort to achieve the goal as soon as possible.

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

None

I'm a Marketing Operations Specialist at Room 8 Group. Room 8 Group stands as a perfect foundation to support production and creative needs. From high-end console/PC to free to play mobile games. We unite with industry leaders to deliver exceptional creative and tech services.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

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

We hired Livepage to develop and perform a comprehensive strategy for our three brands, plan the new website structures, and set end-to-end analytics.

SOLUTION

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

We expected the vendor to have diverse expertise that matched our main objectives. Besides, we needed skilled project managers.

Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and marking tools used.

There were two ambitious goals that the Livepage team managed to reach: the setup of end-to-end analytics (BigQuery) exported to Data Studio and the development of a Solar System from scratch for three of our brands.

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

I mainly communicated with a project manager, first, it was Yehor, then Katerina. However, the whole Livepage team did a great job at managing the scope of work.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Nobody in our team had the capacity to develop a Solar System. With the Livepage team, we got a complete Solar System. We use it for our own tasks. Besides, we also got a full set of end-to-end analytics.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

We always synced up about the team’s progress — via chat, documents, or video calls. The team always notified us in case of any delays — these are operational issues that can happen anytime.

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

We were impressed by the proactive communication and coordinated work of the Livepage team.

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

It would be great to have a more precise reporting system.

BACKGROUND

LTD Fideware, Co-founder & CBO

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

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

Website creation and promotion in the target field

SOLUTION

How did you select Livepage and what were the deciding factors?

Our choice was based on Livepage's specialization in IT companies, their portfolio, and feedback on the company

Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and marking tools used.

At the very beginning, Livepage conducted a series of interviews to understand our business and did a niche and competitor analysis. Next, we created an ideal customer profile and worked out our positioning and site structure.

Further, based on SEO recommendations and with the positioning in mind, we created content for key landing pages. Simultaneously, we worked on link building and technical optimization of the website based on the SEO recommendations.

How many resources from the Livepage team worked with you, and what were their positions?

Livepage has five people working on this project — a marketer, an SEO specialist, a link builder, an analyst, and a project manager.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We have been working with Livepage for 5 months now, but since we are creating and releasing a new website, we started actively implementing the technical tasks given to us to optimize the site and publishing new content only a month and a half ago.

Therefore, the result is still hard to track, but we can already see the positive dynamics — increased rating of the domain, new organic users, and we are now more confident in our positioning and that now, thanks to the targeted content, our website can really be a source of leads.

Our impressions of working with Livepage: well-established business communication processes; the ability to listen and hear what the customer wants; the ability to reasonably show how to do the right thing and for what purpose; flexibility in finding a compromise solution; responsiveness to emerging issues; prompt response.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

Livepage executed a perfectly established workflow. There were delays and slower turnaround times in the process due to our internal work speed on assigned tasks, based on our resource capacity and priorities.

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

Coordinated teamwork, interchangeability, efficiency, clear communication.

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

International document workflow, but this is more of a territorial aspect.

SOLUTION

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

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

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am co-founder, independent financial adviser Capital System Group in Ukraine.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Livepage?

We were looking for a contractor to redesign our site. We needed a total makeover for a website that had been working since 2017. We had clear expectations about the result because we’d had website analytics, experience working via the site, etc. Our goals:

• The contractor should understand what we do and how we help our target audience.
• Increase targeted traffic.
• Warm up, engage and retain the target audience.
• The website should be up and running to serve us as a business tool.
• The website should be ready for SEO.

We also wanted the contractor to have a detailed roadmap with planned activities, not to miss anything in the process. Besides, it was important for us to have a chance to plan and prepare for the meetings. What we wanted was to delegate the marketing tasks to Livepage and continue doing our work. The result we aimed to achieve:

• Redesigned website that is set up for marketing and lead generating success.
• SEO recommendations and ToRs for developers to drive audience and improve site rankings.

SOLUTION

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

While we were looking for a contractor, one of the candidates showed that they didn’t have a clear plan, strategy, or any ToRs. As they said, “We’ll see how it goes.” We’d already had experience working with such a contractor. There was a small task connected with our website, and unfortunately, we were involved in the whole process. This influenced our workflow and paused our tasks. Besides, that contractor insisted that some tasks were impossible to do; however, we proved them wrong. All in all, it wasn’t a fit.

We contacted the Livepage team and another candidate — both businesses looked alike. The second candidate didn’t answer us. We liked the way Livepage communicated with us; we settled all the questions and discussed the workflow. We filled out the brief on 16 July 2021 and started aligning goals and tasks. Even then, we understood that we wanted to work with them. After Livepage had presented the workflow for our project, we made the final decision and the first payment on 21 July 2021.

Describe the project in detail and walk through the stages of the project.

Every step was planned ahead, and we liked this approach because we share this vision. We projected every step, made the necessary preparations, and just followed the plan. The Livepage team controlled all the tasks as we had an extensive scope of work and workload. This also lead to us being late with submitting materials and developing text copies. The Livepage team has their project deadlines and sticks to them; if a client can’t keep up with their pace, they will have to complete the tasks later.

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

Four people team worked with us.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The Livepage team prepared ToRs for our developers, and now it’s our task to make sure that everything is done accordingly. We’re satisfied with the quality of the ToRs. Though TOR is a hypothesis, we understand that it will be either proved or not by our work and the website performance. Unfortunately, we haven’t yet implemented the ToRs; thus, we can’t tell whether we reached our goals with the help of Livepage.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

100% effectivity

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

We were most impressed by their team's competence — every step was planned ahead. We liked this approach because we share this vision. We projected every step, made the necessary preparations, and just followed the plan.

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

None.

SOLUTION

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

When we contacted Livepage, we had been successfully using inbound marketing strategies. However, we were looking for a team that could accelerate our success and had strong experience in creating content for our domain. Livepage addressed this challenge, shared their views on content strategy, developed, and implemented efficient content plan.

Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and marking tools used.

Livepage conducted several interviews to understand the critical areas of our business, our expertise and solutions, ICPs, priority areas of development, and case studies. They mapped all the information in the form of a Solar System. The Solar System helped us understand what kind of content clusters we have to work with, how they are connected, and our priorities.

Afterwards, the Livepage team carried out SEO research considering the current content and the one we planned to create. Next, the team developed content plans for key areas and graded the topics according to audience interest and willingness to engage with our representatives. Together, we selected and structured the topics based on traffic potential and competitor analysis. The team employs best practices in their approach. As a result, we established an effective and stable workflow for creating text requirements and content for our blog.

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

The Livepage team consisted of a marketer, SEO specialist, team lead, analyst, project manager, editor, proofreader, and 3 content writers.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

In less than six months of cooperation, the team conducted several types of research, developed content plans for two business directions, and put four technical tasks and blog content into production. Besides, thanks to the Livepage team, there is a stable traffic growth of 30% a month and a steady growth of keyword positions on new pages. Last but not least, we've unleashed internal team resources and focused them on other tasks that fuel our further growth.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

Probably we’ve found a long-term partner who will help us keep the positive dynamics, achieve, and exceed marketing KPIs.

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

They are client-centric, receptive to feedback, and obsessed with quality.

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

Nothing critical. Usually they respect and meet the deadlines. However in rare occasions they sacrificed the deadlines in order to match the high-quality standards. It's acceptable but still the area for improvement for the future.

We chose Livepage because of their experience with IT companies. Besides, we liked the way they develop and implement marketing strategies. Livepage gets fully immersed into business, studies the results of customer acquisition and analyzes further steps.

Describe the project in detail and walk through the stages of the project.

Also, the Livepage team set up analytics so that we could track the success of the project. After that, the team started designing new landing pages according to the new site structure. At the same time, Livepage helped us with content marketing, link building, new landing page design, and current page redesign. Next, the team helped us launch a PPC campaign.

We decided to give it a try and test it within a short period of time. We wanted to analyze the behavioral indicators of new users after the site redesign and expansion of its structure.
