MINUTTIA

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the CEO of an organic herbal tea company based in Thessaloniki, Greece. With respect to our principles of fair trade, ethical and organic food production, we have developed a network of certified organic smallholder family farms all over Greece which supply us with raw dried herbs. Each of our products is produced and packed by hand with honesty and integrity in our certified facilities in Thessaloniki.

For what projects/services did your company hire MINUTTIA?

We hired MINUTTIA to help us with content and SEO strategy for our website's blog in order to increase organic traffic to our website.

What were your goals for this project?

Our goals were the in-depth keyword research, content ideation, creating an editorial calendar, general SEO consultation and to increase organic traffic to our website.

How did you select MINUTTIA?

We chose MINUTTIA due to the company's track record when it comes to content and SEO. We knew that MINUTTIA works with clients from all over the world targeting English-speaking countries, and since these are the same countries we're interested in targeting, we thought that bringing them onboard would make sense for us.

In the selection process, we talked with five other agencies. MINUTTIA was the only one that added value upfront by presenting us a realistic view on what we can expect from them, as well as setting out the right expectations from the very beginning. Their pitching process is out of this world and has the sole purpose of educating and helping you make a well-informed decision.

Describe the scope of their work in detail.

The project started with the onboarding, where the company asked for business-related information, as well as for information that would form their strategy. After the onboarding was completed, we waited three weeks for MINUTTIA to prepare all the deliverables we'd agreed upon before we started working together. In the meantime, the team was proactively informing us about what they were working on and were always there if we had any questions or concerns.

When MINUTTIA had all the deliverables prepared, we set up a call where they presented us our findings - which were above and beyond our expectations - as well as giving us access to training material about how to create content and how to deal with several SEO elements, such as title tags and meta descriptions.

All deliverables were kept in a Google Drive folder (MINUTTIA calls it a "Private Client Folder") and we had access to it at any time.

What was the team composition?

Two people worked with us. The company's managing director and the account manager, who managed the onboarding process and the delivery of everything that was prepared.

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

Since the scope of the project wasn't to drive performance but to get help with our content and SEO strategy, we don't have any measurable outcomes to illustrate. We can say this though: these guys operate at an unreal level. We felt that they were there every step of the way.

Having heard stories about agencies taking over marketing programs, missing deadlines, and failing to deliver on their promises, we were really happy that we found and worked with MINUTTIA.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

All the deliverables exist in Google Drive. The team is extremely communicative and very responsive. Throughout the whole project, we felt that they had the lead and that they knew what they were doing. Our calls, e.g. the onboarding call, were all made in Google Meet and everything ran smoothly each time.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

They really care about you as the client and they're fully transparent with everything that they're doing. They're also very proactive when it comes to communicating the value of their work. Last but not least, they'll help you understand content and SEO in simple terms, without the fluff and marketing jargon. If you have a chance to work with these guys, take it.

Are there any areas for improvement?

From the one project we had together, there wasn't really anything they could be improved. We loved how they work and we'll be working with them again on implementing parts of the strategy they built for us.

Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timelines.

Their project management style is very collaborative and they take the time to explain, help and support with whatever our needs are. We communicate regularly with email, Loom videos and bi-monthly Zoom calls.

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

Their level of transparency is very high. Many parts of SEO can appear as a dark art, smoke and mirrors, you never know what you are going to get or if you are being taken for a ride.

From day one, they thoroughly explained everything, answered any question, even shared all of their tools, templates and screens. They immediately established a trust and confidence and have continued since the beginning of the engagement.

N/A

Please describe your company and your position there.

I'm the co-founder of Respona, the all-in-one PR and link building software that combines personalization with productivity. I also run the marketing efforts at Visme, where I helped the company gain over 4 million users and pass 1.5M monthly organic traffic. Since then, I’ve been helping other companies achieve the same success via Respona.

For what projects/services did your company hire MINUTTIA?

We were struggling to find the right partner to write quality pieces of content for the Respona blog. Most writers we hired in the past didn't have any experience in our field, so their content was mainly recycled content for other posts. We need original, creative content in order to attract quality backlinks and increase our organic traffic.

What were your goals for this project?

Writing high-quality educational content that incorporated our product, in order to increase our traffic and eventually result in sign-ups to our platform.

How did you select this vendor?

I posted a job ad on one of the most engaged Facebook communities, and Georgios, founder of MINUTTIA, reached out to me. After taking a look at their previous work and discussing pricing, we set up a test assignment, and they nailed it. Then we agreed to get on a longer-term agreement for them to create content for us on an ongoing basis.

Describe the scope of their work in detail.

After we selected MINUTTIA, we had an intro call with the founder, and after explaining our goals, target market, and also the product, they did some SEO research and put together a content calendar for us. We agreed to do 2 content pieces a month initially.

What was the team composition?

I worked only with the founder of MINUTTIA, Georgios. Did not have contact with anyone else in the agency.

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

We have published about 4 content pieces on our blog, and the feedback from our audience has been great so far. The content pieces are very high quality, long form, and incorporate our product well. Exactly as we wanted them! Traffic is a bit slow, but that's because our domain is new and we're building more links to the blog posts to get them ranked on the first page of Google.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

Georgios is very responsive and organized. He created a google drive folder for us to keep track of all the work that was being done, and was very timely about the deadlines.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

Georgios goes above and beyond what's requested from him by creating pieces that are often much larger than what we agreed initially, and also doing extra SEO research for us to make sure we're successful.

Are there any areas for improvement?

Not really so far. Georgios has been very pleasant to work with.
