I’m the founder and CEO of Convesio. We’re a self-healing, auto-scaling, platform-as-a-service for creating and managing WordPress websites.

For what projects/services did your company hire Ninja Creative Marketing?

We needed a technical SEO partner that would work collaboratively with our team to achieve our rankings goals.

We wanted to rank on the first page of Google for the keyword "high availability WordPress hosting". This is a niche, highly competitive keyword, but extremely targeted for our service. Achieving this would drive highly qualified leads.

How did you select this vendor?

We interviewed several vendors we found on Google and Clutch and considered around five before choosing Ninja. We wanted this to be a partnership, and Ninja was both technically sound and flexible in working with us and our requirements.

Describe the project in detail.

We started the process with a kickoff call where we brainstormed both on- and off-page tactics. Ninja came back to us with several strategies to review, and we decided to move forward with a few we agreed would ensure success.

We allow them direct access to make changes on our site, but we monitor the process and approve the changes before they go live. So far, they’ve modified our meta tags, content, site structure, and internal linking strategies.

We’re working with a project manager and a technical SEO expert.

Their technical ability and commitment to keeping up with practices in the SEO industry are outstanding.
