I really don't think so. We've given them some very difficult assignments, which they've stepped into and managed very well. In particular, the migration of a very large and complex ecommerce website that willing stretched their comfort zone. In this single case, we found that we had to supplement their web development resources. I would like to give them more of this type of work in the future but at the same time I understand that resources can sometimes be limited.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I'm the owner of a music school with 12 locations around Metro Detroit and Metro DC. We teach private music lessons in instruments such as piano, voice, guitar, drums, violin, etc. to students of all ages and skill levels.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire The Media Captain, and what were your goals?

We had three locations at the time we hired The Media Captain and one of them wasn't ranking very well on search engines. We were also planning to open two more locations soon and knew we would need help getting those locations to rank. It's important for us to be at the top of page 1 of Google for certain key word searches and even though we tried various things, we were having trouble accomplishing this on our own. I also needed help running our Google Adwords campaigns.

SOLUTION

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

The Media Captain was highly recommended to me by various other music school owners who had greatly benefited from their services. I had a meeting with the owner and liked what he had to offer. Their price point was reasonable considering the size of our business and they offered to take all of this confusing work off of my hands and get us ranking well on Google!

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

The Media Captain recommended specific work that needed to be done and then got right to it, sending me reports along the way. They got my login information for various sites they needed to work on (my website, Google analytics, Facebook, etc) and have been steadily improving our SEO and getting us results with digital marketing ever since.

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

I've worked with two different account managers, and both have been great. I've also had some brief contact with the president of the company.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Most importantly, we rank at the top of page 1 of Google on all the important key words in all of our locations!!! I couldn't ask for more as this is extremely critical for our business. Our Google AdWords campaign is also performing very well.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

For a while we were having bi-weekly meetings, and now we meet monthly as I have a very busy schedule. My account manager sends a monthly report and agenda ahead of time and then we meet to discuss everything, upcoming needs, goals, etc. They are also extremely quick to respond to email and anything I need between meetings. The communication and the process has worked very well.

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

I think they're just the right size. Big enough to have resources and systems but small enough to still have involvement from the president and give a lot of care and attention to each client. Most importantly, this is the only SEO company that actually improved our rankings dramatically. They're very easy to work with and they don't require much from me, yet they are very transparent with everything they are doing and the results we are getting.

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

I have no suggestions for improvement at this time! I've been with The Media Captain for years and have recommended them to many other companies looking for help with their SEO. I have never been disappointed.
