We’ve been working with Marketing Link since 2022. Initially, we brought them on to handle SEO, PPC, and Paid Social — and they absolutely delivered. By the second month, our cost per lead had dropped by over 50%, and the number of leads increased by 250%. And not just volume — the lead quality also improved significantly, which made a real impact on our sales pipeline.

What we appreciate most is how involved and proactive their team is. They’re not just executing campaigns — they’re constantly testing, optimizing, and bringing new ideas to the table. We've continued working with them ever since, scaling up together as we grow. Easily a 5.0 across the board — great communication, great results.

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

We hired Marketing Link for Google Ads and Meta Ads management for GO TO-U — a leading worldwide charging app. Our ad campaigns were initiated from scratch as we didn't have any Ads accounts or prior experience with Google Ads or Meta Ads in these markets. 

Although we had some customers, being the first Tesla importers to Ukraine, our sales were unstable without advertising. Marketing Link managed both our projects in Ukraine and the worldwide market. Our collaboration with Marketing Link significantly elevated our sales. Now, we're looking to work on a new project with them.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

We began with Google Ads and later added Meta Ads. Over the past year with these ads, we sold 12 Tesla Model S vehicles. We engaged GOTO-U on a consulting basis. After implementing their recommendations, we saw more than a 30% increase in new registrations from the same ad budget. Their expertise in Google Ads and Meta Ads Manager is undeniable. I highly recommend partnering with them.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

Their project management was excellent—they delivered items on time and responded to needs effectively. In terms of timeliness and meeting deadlines, the Google Ads campaigns and management were delivered on time, and scheduling meetings was straightforward.

They work worldwide and can assist with ad management in various languages, not only the more common ones like English, Spanish, and German but also Nordic languages, French, Turkish, and Hebrew. I've already recommended Marketing Link to my friends, as they were referred to me, and I am planning to start a new project with them. They are experts in Google Ads and Meta Ads.

There are no areas for improvement mentioned—they seem to have met all expectations effectively.

SEO PolMall initiated its SEO journey in May 2018, coinciding with the launch of our website on the Horoshop platform. Our initial steps involved optimizing metadata, titles, descriptions, and keywords. Initially, our website traffic was negligible. It took 16 months to attract our first thousand organic users. We then reached a new milestone of 2,500 visitors in just four months, with current monthly traffic now around 3,000 people. 

SEO growth was gradual at first but picked up significantly after surpassing the first thousand visitors, underscoring the cumulative effect of SEO efforts. By 2024, we achieved a milestone of over 10,000 monthly users. Comparing the figures from 2019 to 2024, we realized a tenfold increase in SEO performance over the last five years. Google Ads The Marketing Link team targeted various audiences on Google Ads, including B2B, designers, builders undertaking turnkey projects, and retail customers. 

We launched PPC campaigns in May 2018, focusing on search campaigns initially due to the limited functionality of Google Shopping in Ukraine and the absence of online payment options on our website. Once online payments were integrated, we introduced shopping ads, followed by smart shopping campaigns, which significantly boosted application numbers. We also implemented dynamic remarketing. During our project, we expanded to include an offline store. 

We adjusted our advertising strategies to highlight the option of purchasing goods in our physical store and used Facebook ads to target individuals living in proximity to the store.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

For SEO, we've achieved a tenfold increase in performance over the last five years, excluding the initial 16 months it took to reach our first thousand users. This growth showcases the effectiveness and long-term value of our SEO strategies. In PPC, our average Return On Ad Spend (ROAS) has been impressive at 644% and continues to improve. 

Despite facing serious competition, Marketing Link has consistently maintained a ROAS of no less than 500%, which, given our profit margins, is a remarkable achievement.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

We used email+telegram+sometimes calls. They deliver what promised in time.

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

It's commendable how they've adopted a business-centric and win-win strategy. Reflecting on the time before we integrated online payment systems, their insistence on setting these up significantly increased our revenue and customer base. Moreover, their patience and clarity in explaining marketing concepts to those not versed in marketing are truly appreciated. This approach not only enhances our understanding but also fosters a collaborative and informed working environment.

Business does not stand still - the business environment changes every day (search for new customers, competition). Marketing Link should also improve and keep up with the times, taking into account the development of the industry in which the project works.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

Hi, I’m CEO & owner – Sunbee Sunbee — website and mobile app development, UI/UX, web design, SEO. Creative and positive ideas. We have been making websites since 2003 (until 2018 Aiken Web) Some of our work: Vodafone, EU4Business, Delicia, Volkswagen, Toyota, Eximbank, Honda and others.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

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

Before Sunbee I used to be co-ower in Aiken Web, since end 2018 we separated business, so I had to find digital marketing services company for promoting my new Sunbee website and mobile app development services. We started from scratch, with new name, new Ad accounts.

My ex partner was responsible for looking for clients, so after dividing this became my duty. I googled a couple companies and found Marketing Link. They commercial propose was better, specially created for us, with our traffic, with analyzing our competitors, so ML team won)

SOLUTION

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

The deciding factor were proposes, quick answer, presence in Google Ads. I was looking outsourcer for Google Ads services, so the point was that company should have Google Ads for their own website. Some other vendors did copy-pasted PDFs, and just 2 companies did individual proposes. The other one lost, because they tried to say to optimistic promises, but it could be real, because in our sphere is very high CPC.

Marketing Link didn’t put any promises about exact figures of scaling (we have 0, and Mykola answered why 0 isn't good data for planning), they said that they do their work and had detailed explanation what Google Ads Management included. Their transparency and individualized approach won us over.

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

The main service which we cooperate is Google Ads. Also for couple regions we have Bing Ads, but quantity of leads for our services much less comparing to Google Ads.

When started they asked what the main services are, did suggestion for additional landing pages for improving page quality. Also, when we had to get quick new leads offered Facebook Ads and LinkedIn ads. In PPC also advised new things (Smart Campaigns, Performance Max campaigns). We have strict CAC and understandably LTV, so it is easy to calculate our ROI.

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

I communicated with account manager Anna and CEO Mykola via email. Additionally, worked PPC specialists, Paid Social specialists, designers, but I didn't directly communicate with them, and even didn't know their names, just saw in Instagram Stories

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We started from 0, so I didn't have figures for comparing. But, for example, in Google Ads for UA region CPL was $50, for France region $70, for US $95. Last time we focus in the USA and Canada market, here higher competition so, every mistake could cost a lot. But, Marketing Link are professionals, 95% leads from Google Ads are very relevant, and 18.5% of all Google Ads leads started buy our services.

Also time by time we're testing Facebook Asd, there are cheaper CPL, but worse % of clients who start cooperation (we work in middle-high segment).

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

Management is perfect. They use Work Section, we also started to use it for our DEV services. Communication in email, and I also could book appointment in Calendly, so very convenient. I have phone number of Anna and Mykola but since last 5 years I didn't even call, email communication was enough and in time.

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

Individual approach was the most impressive. Before starting our partnership Marketing Link did great research, shown where and what we can get, shown how get leas our competitors, so it was very helpfully in the start. Because, in previous company my duty were PM, creative and positive ideas, working websites and apps. But here I had to add Marketing Director and Sales manager duty. But, Marketing Link report was easy to read, and they asked more strategy questions.

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

No, for our ask they fully answered expectations.
