We needed help with our marketing efforts for our existing and new software products. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? Before we even began working with RevenueZen, they had already provided us with suggestions for our marketing process. They outlined what we needed to do to improve our SEO performance and brand awareness. They also gave insight on how we can leverage those improvements once we conduct outbound marketing campaigns. After hiring RevenueZen, we had a kickoff meeting and talked about our current software offerings, our company mission statement, and where we’re going for our future software. We worked with RevenueZen to develop a plan for various marketing campaigns, including SEO, content marketing, and outbound campaigns. They also offered us some design inputs based on their experience and best practices. However, they did not do any design work themselves. During the first three months of our engagement, RevenueZen laid out the groundwork for our website revamp. They also came up with plans for what we’ll be doing for the rest of the year. Currently, we’re at a point where RevenueZen is executing campaigns based on our plans. What is the team composition? Initially, we worked with Alex (Founder & CEO), Ken (Partner & CGO), and Jake (Senior SEO Strategist) to kick off the project and provide overall direction. After that, Jake has remained as our point of contact on our monthly check-ins. They bring in resources whenever we need help with something technical. How did you come to work with RevenueZen? They were referred to me by an entrepreneur friend who previously worked with them. We spoke with several firms, but RevenueZen stood out after our initial meeting with Alex. He talked about their services and processes, and he came to the table with an actual plan based on his review of our website and the materials we sent. We appreciated that Alex gave that effort before we even signed up; the other companies we interviewed only gave generic information. How much have you invested with them? We’ve spent close to $40,000–$50,000. What is the status of this engagement? We started working together in March 2021, and it’s ongoing. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? We’re an early-stage startup, and RevenueZen has built our marketing and SEO foundation. They produce great content that’s focused and addresses problems in the construction industry. In addition, people within our network provide positive feedback about their work. RevenueZen’s content resonates with people and helps us bring brand awareness to our company. What did you find most impressive about them? Even before hiring RevenueZen, they’ve dug in and provided specific feedback and plans based on our company and needs. Their thoroughness distinguishes them from their competitors. Are there any areas they could improve? I can’t think of anything. Our partnership has been going well so far. Do you have any advice for potential customers? When you come to the table with RevenueZen, be prepared to learn and don’t be afraid to ask questions. Jump in with their team as if they’re members of your team and not an outside resource. --- #### LinkedIn Marketing for Automated Salesforce Tool Provider **The Project** - Services: Content Marketing - Project size: $10,000 to $49,999 - Project length: Mar. 2020 - Ongoing **Project Summary**: RevenueZen generates LinkedIn marketing campaigns for an automated salesforce tool provider.

RevenueZen was the only vendor that took the time to understand our business, which I view as absolutely crucial when we are entrusting a team to help us generate content and write in our brand voice. Jake and Alex were thoughtful, quick to follow up, and proved that they were truly subject matter experts. Describe the project in detail and walk through the stages of the project. I've been working with RevenueZen for the past 18 months, meeting weekly to generate Linkedin content, create overall Linkedin/outreach strategy, and plan/execute Linkedin outreach. I come to these meetings with a general idea of topics to discuss, and Jake at RevenueZen transforms these ideas into interesting and engaging posts, also providing insight on how maximize engagement. I've also worked with RevenuZen to run successful Linkedin campaigns using their Zenlink software, reaching out to prospects with my content as the main hook. How many resources from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions? I work primarily with Jake Moffett, who has been incredible to work with.

I've interacted with other folks on the RevenueZen, including Alex and Rocky, and I've always been impressed. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success? I've received many leads and 3 clients from my work RevenueZen. Just 1 of those clients makes up for my investment. A huge relief for us is that we're able to create amazing content with minimal effort with them. All founders want to build their presence but frankly don't have the time to do so... RevenueZen solved that problem. My business has grown 5x since first engaging with RevenueZen, and I a large part of that is from my individual content presence and not having to worry about focusing on creating that content myself. How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs? Very easy and consistent. A monthly meeting and then follow-up over a shared Slack channel. No email makes things easy! What did you find most impressive or unique about this company? I really believe RevenueZen is the top matter expert on Linkedin and B2B content. Despite having so many clients, I always felt like they have given my business incredible attention and focus, really taking the time to learn about who our prospects/customers are and what will attract them to engage. Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently? More services! I am so satisfied with RevenueZen, if they start offering other similar sales/marketing services I'll always take a look! --- #### Content Marketing Services for Financial Services Company **The Project** - Services: Content Marketing - Project size: $10,000 to $49,999 - Project length: Oct. 2020 - Ongoing **Project Summary**: A financial services company hired RevenueZen to provide content marketing services.

We help e-commerce businesses process payments safely and avoid excessive disputes and chargebacks. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** For what projects/services did your company hire RevenueZen?

ReenueZen helped us learn what problems our audience was trying to solve gave us direction on what topics to write content on. **SOLUTION** How did you select RevenueZen and what were the deciding factors? We interviewed a few different vendors. It was easy to decide on RevenueZen. The conversation with their team seemed like they knew some of our problems before we did and had the experience of helping companies of our size. Describe the project in detail and walk through the stages of the project. After a deep dive into our brand and our product offering, we focused on finding 2-3 main problems we wanted to write about and rank for. It was a collaborative project and we were updated on all the progress and our content calendar was filled up. How many resources from the RevenueZen team worked with you, and what were their positions? They assigned an account manager, an SEO specialist, and a content specialist that made sure all of our goals were being hit. I'd say we meet 1 new team member every 1-2 months that may have a different skill set. It's great if you want multiple services worked on with one vendor instead of working on them independently. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success? Our ranking improved and the resulting traffic helped us focus on what our target audience cared most about. How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs? We had monthly meetings to go over our SEO rankings and review our content calendar. What did you find most impressive or unique about this company? Lots of experience and an amazing process for client success. Seriously. I have felt we got more value as the team has focused on multiple services we are able to benefit from. Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently? A consolidated report that took in numbers on the SEO of our site as we added content. I know there are some cool dashboards they're working on now. --- #### Digital Marketing Services for Online Learning Platform **The Project** - Services: Other Digital Marketing - Project size: $10,000 to $49,999 - Project length: Jan. 2019 - Ongoing **Project Summary**: RevenueZen provides digital marketing services for an online learning platform.

I am the Chief Revenue Officer at SuccessHACKER / SuccessCOACHING. We are the world's first and only accredited certification in a practice called Customer Success Management. My responsibilities include business development, sales and all things revenue generation for our company. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** For what projects/services did your company hire RevenueZen, and what were your goals? As we looked to expand our reach and brand awareness, we needed a partner that could help us with a multi-threaded digital approach. Various channels needed were content, SEO, PPC, inbound, outbound and social media. **SOLUTION** How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors? We had worked with other agencies in the past with varying degrees of success and thus were leery to try another. However, Revenue Zen's light touch approach to get started allowed us to build trust in their services and allowed them to get to know us over time. That then led to better content, more aligned with our voice and direction. From there we have expanded our partnership into Social, Outbound and more, gradually over time, building trust along every step of the way. Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and marking tools used. We began with collaborating on blogs and static online content to help drive SEO and inbound leads. We then expanded into Outbound using LinkedIn Navigator to create connections and build relationships. As we continued to work together and deepen our relationship, the output from Revenue Zen got better and better and is now expanded into a mission critical partnership for us to continue to expand our brand awareness and demand generation. How many resources from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions? We've had numerous teammates work with us. Week by ween we work with about 4 consistent resources and bring in specialists as new directives and outbound/inbound strategies are developed. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables? The content generated by Revenue Zen accounts for the majority of our lead generation. Our outbound activity is 100% through Revenue Zen at this point and creates opportunities for us to connect with leaders in our industry and provide them value to begin building positive relationships. Our static content creation (blogs and other artifacts) are created in partnership with Revenue Zen and various other content creation activities (LinkedIn posts, etc.) are 100% driven by them as well. We've seen incredible return on our investment with Revenue Zen and can account about 30% of our overall top line revenue to their efforts across multi-channels. How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs? Incredibly effective. Simple Slack groups and channels allow us to collaborate in real-time with their team. They truly an extension of our business and mission critical to our growth along the top and bottom lines of our business. They are responsive and professional while being relaxing and easy to work with. What did you find most impressive or unique about this company? We can literally bring them anything and everything we are thinking of...and they make magic out of it. Whether that's a high level strategy that needs structure to implement, or a half baked blog or simply a conversation every couple of weeks...it's truly amazing to see how they can take our thoughts, run with them and bring back stellar work that is written not only in our voice but is inline with our goals. Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently? I have no constructive feedback at this time. Our partnership has been a blessing, and we couldn't have grown as quickly without them. I wish I had something to offer in terms of areas of improvement but truly don't see any breakdowns in people, process or tools therein. --- #### Digital Strategy for Email Security Provider **The Project** - Services: Content Marketing, Other Digital Marketing, Search Engine Optimization - Project size: $10,000 to $49,999 - Project length: Apr. 2021 - Ongoing **Project Summary**: RevenueZen provides ongoing digital strategy and content marketing services for an email security provider.

""They are so knowledgeable about all things digital whether it is content, social media, SEO or your website." " **BACKGROUND** Please describe your company and your position there. I am one of the Marketing Directors and serve the brand, content, digital strategy, demand generation and marketing operations teams. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** For what projects/services did your company hire RevenueZen, and what were your goals? We made an intentional shift in 2021 to be more focused on inbound (after having spent the duration of my tenure driving outbound and ABM marketing programs). We knew where we wanted to go and had an idea on how to get there but needed some help optimizing our content and digital strategy and really taking advantage of our digital channels. We have a goal of increasing meetings from inbound by 30% this year. **SOLUTION** How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors? We got a referral from our Product Marketing team to the Revenue Zen team. Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and marking tools used. The RevenueZen team was part of a large marketing launch in 2021 that focused on updating our brand narrative, developing new content and launching campaigns. We did some discovery calls initially to see how their skillset could complement what we were doing and really specifically focused on how they could help with content and message distribution on digital channels. We started with social selling (training and writing) and have moved into SEO support (keyword research, content strategy, competitive analysis and technical audit). Our work is ongoing but we have been impressed with the quality of work from RevenueZen and their investment in helping us be successful. How many resources from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions? We have worked with their leadership team (CEO and CGO) as well as some of their brand managers and storytellers. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables? We are early on in the relationship (1 month+ into social selling and just kicking off on SEO) but we are seeing the benefit of the training they provided for the team. The team is more active on LinkedIn and understands how to use their network to their advantage. How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs? They were incredibly patient as we worked to get the relationship off the ground. We had some pre-work to do as a part of our program that took some time and they were ready the second we were to get going. The whole team is incredibly communicative, responsive and invested in their clients. Some of their brand storytellers work directly with our sales leadership and I am constantly getting comments on how great they are to work with and how they are able to push them to areas they didn't know to go. What did you find most impressive or unique about this company? They are so knowledgeable about all things digital whether it is content, social media, SEO or your website. They are able to see us through from strategy to execution (writing and all included). They understand the big picture and how to help you achieve the goals you set. I come away from every interaction having learned something. Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently? Not at this time. --- #### Digital Marketing for Data Analytics Company **The Project** - Services: Other Digital Marketing - Project size: $10,000 to $49,999 - Project length: Oct. 2020 - Ongoing **Project Summary**: RevenueZen handles ongoing digital marketing support for a data analytics company. The team has provided a full-scale digital marketing strategy for demand generation purposes. **Review Rating**: 5.0 - Quality: 4.5 - Schedule: 5.0 - Cost: 5.0 - Willing to Refer: 5.0 **The Reviewer** CEO, Geospark Analytics - Industry: Other industries - Client size: 11-50 Employees - Review Type: Online Review - Verified **The Review** — May 26, 2021 **Feedback Summary**: The efforts of Revenue Zen have helped the client increase their sales. Both parties maintain constant communication, meeting at least twice a month through Slack. The team has been knowledgeable, skilled, and professional in delivering top-notch work. ""They are a one-stop shop for our digital marketing needs." " **BACKGROUND** Please describe your company and your position there. I am the CEO of Geospark Analytics, the world class leader in developing applied artificial intelligence (AI) solutions for global threat and risk assessment. We distinguish ourselves from the glut of real time social media alerting platforms on the market today by using AI and machine learning (ML) to get in front of emerging geopolitical risk, so customers as varied as the U.S. government or Fortune 1,000 companies can make decisions before it's too late. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** For what projects/services did your company hire RevenueZen, and what were your goals? Geospark Analytics was interested in raising its profile on the commercial side of its business after experiencing the rapid adoption of our value proposition and record breaking growth on the U.S. government side of our business in 2020. We needed to engage with a firm that could implement a full digital marketing strategy that would rapidly increase our demand generation. **SOLUTION** How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors? We vetted three firms through referrals and made our selection based on cultural fit [we are a young, edgy, AI-driven SaaS business and wanted someone who could meet us where we saw ourselves in market, overall strategy, their subscription based model rather than being locked in to a long term contract and/or being penalized for terminating the contract, and personal touch. After one phone call with the founder and CEO I received a curated gift box that might as well have come from a family member or friend--he got me, which means he listened, took notes, and took action! Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and marking tools used. Everything int his project is built around demand generation. There are basically 4 primary components to what we are doing: 1) Outbound email campaign - Team curated lists based on our go market strategy and prioritized verticals. 2) Weekly posting on LinkedIn. 3) Nearly weekly blogs. 4) SEO. How many resources from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions? CEO, CXO, 2 folks on the outbound email campaign, 2 folks on LinkedIn planning, content creation, and editing. 1 person on blogs and SEO. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables? Success in this case is measured in dollars flowing from the commercial market into Geospark Analytics. We were told to be prepared to work at this for 3 to 6 months before we would see the sort of traction we were looking to achieve. Momentum has definitely shifted, and we have now closed enough commercial sales that I can directly tie to these efforts to more than cover the costs of the engagement. How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs? We meet twice a month on content planning and analytics. We also set up a separate channel in Slack and communicate real time in that forum. What did you find most impressive or unique about this company? They are a one-stop shop for our digital marketing needs. Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently? Regardless of the client the heaviest lift for RevZen will be learning to write in the voice of their client and representing their field, which is in our case AI/ML. Not sure how to solve for that challenge other than time with a client but also increasing the variety of technical writers that they have on hand in their stable as they continue to scale. --- #### Outbound Processing Service for SaaS Management Platform **The Project** - Services: Call Center Services - Project size: Less than $10,000 - Project length: Jan. - Mar. 2021 **Project Summary**: RevenueZen used Salesloft to perform outbound email and calling advertisement services for a SaaS management platform. Their target personas were IT, finance, and procurement stakeholders. **Review Rating**: 5.0 - Quality: 5.0 - Schedule: 5.0 - Cost: 5.0 - Willing to Refer: 5.0 **The Reviewer** VP Revenue, SaaS Management Platform - Industry: Other industries - Client size: 11-50 Employees - Review Type: Online Review - Verified **The Review** — May 25, 2021 **Feedback Summary**: RevenueZen helped the company shift its marketing strategy from cold calling to calling target personas. This change brought their connect rate from 1.5% to 6%, respectively. Overall, the client highlighted their helpfulness, trustworthiness, and confidence in their expertise. ""They have everything you need in one trusted vendor and team to experiment and execute GTM." " **BACKGROUND** Please describe your company and your position there. Blissfully is a SaaS management platform & system of record for SMB and midmarket companies. I was VP Revenue, responsible for sales and GTM strategy **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** For what projects/services did your company hire RevenueZen, and what were your goals?? We were validating outbound processes including email, call and Linkedin outreach to build pipeline more consistently and repeatedly. **SOLUTION** How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors? Our CEO had already had a relationship with them. Describe the project in detail and walk through their service package, including any calling tools used. The project was focused on building a list and engaging IT, Finance & Procurement stakeholders at our target companies. They used Salesloft for the outbound email and calling. They used their own software for the LI outreach. Who did you work with and what was the feedback process like? Worked primarily with the OutboundView team and our dedicated rep for the Linkedin outreach. The feedback and delivery was excellent. We were able to quickly determine which persona's and channels were best and worst performing. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the service? Clearest takeaway was that cold calling IT was not an effective strategy with a 1.5% connect rate vs Finance persona's with closer to 6%. Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness. We had a weekly 1-1 separately with the OutboundView team that was doing the majority of cold calling etc and another with the RZ rep who was running our Linkedin campaigns. What did you find most impressive or unique about this company? They have everything you need in one trusted vendor and team to experiment and execute GTM. This is especially helpful for an early startup where it isn't possible to hire an in house marketing or outbound team. Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently? Would have been great to see everything in one place across the channels vs separate reports i.e. here's the list of persona's we targeted, executive summary of engagement across all channels and clear recommendations on what to do next. --- #### Outreach Marketing for Multi-Family Office **The Project** - Services: Other Digital Marketing - Project size: $10,000 to $49,999 - Project length: Sep. 2020 - Ongoing **Project Summary**: RevenueZen partners with a multi-family office to create their outreach marketing.

The team is knowledgeable and easy to work with. Their rapid response and great communication stand out as highlights. Future clients will benefit from working with RevenueZen. "“Alex and Steven are always positive, and working with them is refreshing.” " **BACKGROUND** Introduce your business and what you do there. I’m the director of marketing and development of a multi-family office. We work in partnership with CPA firms throughout the country to provide tax law, wealth management, and insurance services to business owners and affluent families. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with RevenueZen? We have a national CPA partnership program. We act as back-office to CPA firms and financial advisors throughout the country so that they can hold themselves as a multi-family office and deliver all the services that we offer. RevenueZen helps us reach out to more CPA firms and financial advisors to potentially collaborate with. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? RevenueZen does direct outreach marketing for us. We go to them whenever we want to build a presence in a specific city. Then, they research and connect us with prospective CPA firms and financial advisors using their unique LinkedIn approach. What is the team composition? I work with Alex (Founder & CEO) and Steven (Campaign Manager). Steven does all of our marketing. How did you come to work with RevenueZen? We had a podcast at a previous company I owned. Alex was one of our guests 3–4 years ago, and we stayed in touch. I always had a good relationship with him. Furthermore, he had experience in the CPA market. That’s probably what pushed us over the edge and made us go with them. How much have you invested with them? We’ve spent $20,000. What is the status of this engagement? Our partnership began in September 2020, and it’s ongoing. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? We’ve had several new leads and opportunities over the eight months we’ve worked together. I’m not sure what the numbers are, but we’ve had many new meetings with prospective CPA firms and financial advisors thanks to RevenueZen. How did RevenueZen perform from a project management standpoint? We communicate daily via Slack and have a meeting every other Friday. Apart from that, we communicate through Zoom and email if needed. RevenueZen is always available, and they usually respond on Slack within 30 minutes. They’re always ready to meet on the same day if something comes up. What did you find most impressive about them? I find RevenueZen’s work process the most impressive. Alex and Steven are always positive, and working with them is refreshing. They educate us on what they do and how we can improve. Also, they have a nice technology platform that makes it seamless for them to hand over the leads to us. Are there any areas they could improve? Nothing comes to mind that RevenueZen could do differently. The scope of our engagement has been straightforward and simplistic. Do you have any advice for potential customers? Be clear of how you’re going to measure success from the get-go. We did that, and that’s why we’ve had a good engagement. --- #### SEO, PPC & Digital Marketing for Software Company **The Project** - Services: Pay Per Click, Search Engine Optimization - Project size: $50,000 to $199,999 - Project length: Oct. 2018 - Ongoing **Project Summary**: To attract more customers and improve their sales, a software company engaged with RevenueZen for their digital marketing services. They are also tasked with providing their SEO and PPC services. **Review Rating**: 5.0 - Quality: 5.0 - Schedule: 4.5 - Cost: 5.0 - Willing to Refer: 5.0 **The Reviewer** COO, ProdPerfect - Industry: Other industries - Client size: 11-50 Employees - Review Type: Phone Interview - Verified **The Review** — Apr 20, 2021 **Feedback Summary**: Thanks to RevenueZen's efforts, traffic for the website has significantly improved. The site is now getting 400 organic clicks on a weekly basis, and the team managed to rank 17 of their keywords on the first page of Google. They put the company in a really prosperous position in the market. ""Their work has been brilliant, and that has translated well into the inbound results." " **BACKGROUND** Introduce your business and what you do there. I’m the co-founder and COO of ProdPerfect, and we’re a software company that autonomously tests the web applications of our customers, by analyzing live user traffic. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with RevenueZen? Unlike many conventional platforms or testing tools, it’s very easy for prospects to get a free trial and play around with it. ProdPerfect, for a lot of technical reasons, can’t do that. There’s a higher level of friction that a lot of our buyers are used to in buying our products — and that made it difficult for us to get people in the door to have a serious conversation with. Given what’s unique about us, we went to RevenueZen and asked how to attract or develop more business for ourselves and be able to close sales. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? RevenueZen provides us with extensive digital marketing, PPC, and SEO services. For digital marketing, they’re not only creating content and links, but they’re also working hard on other forms of marketing such as email marketing, social media marketing, and LinkedIn marketing. Additionally, I've given them full access to the website so they can optimize our SEO and improve the funnel once people actually arrive. Moreover, they’ve also been adding more features and functionalities to our marketing website, to improve the experience for prospective customers in the discovery phase. The scope of our engagement is different from what I originally thought of, and I actually like it much better now. We ended up focusing primarily on SEO, with a limited objective of increased qualified traffic on our website. As we learn more about how people are acting on our site, they are able to come up with good recommendations regarding the improvement of the visitors' experience. We now have them on a monthly retainer to continue improving our SEO conversion. What is the team composition? We have pieces of their whole team as needed, but we probably work with about 10 people. They have a suite of experts that pop in at different times for different areas of focus. How did you come to work with RevenueZen? They were referred to us by a portfolio member of ours. How much have you invested with them? We’ve probably spent a total of $200,000 with them so far, and that’s obviously going to keep growing. What is the status of this engagement? The ongoing partnership started in October 2018. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? Since partnering with RevenueZen, the traffic compared to our website from two years ago is up by a factor of 12. Our clicks from organic search have also increased from zero to 400 hundred clicks per week — which is huge. We also went from zero keywords to having 17 ranking on the first page. additionally, we're ranked at number one in four keywords that matter to us. Their work has been brilliant, and that has translated well into the inbound results. How did RevenueZen perform from a project management standpoint? I’m quite happy with how they manage the project. The way we’re set up is, I have a project manager, Rocky (COO & Managing Partner) who I meet every two weeks. They also have VP-level folks who get brought in every now and then as we alter the scope of the project. What I like about their approach to management is they understand that I’m very busy, so it isn't my job to manage them as a vendor — I want to be clear about what my goals are and put them to it. They’re very proactive about pushing the results, but sometimes we don’t really hit our goals. We had a period where we actually slipped in ranking, but they discovered it before I did, acted on it, and just let me know afterward. I’m really put in a good position where my job is to make decisions, and I feel very well informed. I get recommendations, they set their own goals that I approve, and it’s really been excellent. We’ll have calls every two weeks, but we also have a shared Slack channel where we communicate on a much higher frequency as needed. It’s where they push a lot of the information that I need. What did you find most impressive about them? One of the great things about my initial journey with RevenueZen, is we went in thinking we knew what we wanted — but Alex (CEO), Ken (CGO), and their team provided us with recommendations on how to improve. RevenueZen spent a lot of time making sure they learned and understood our products and buyers, which resulted in creating a demand generational experience for the prospects. Another thing I like about RevenueZen is their holistic approach to marketing. They’re a strategic partner to me, and they operate on a high level. They make sure to understand my business and customers well enough to come up with solutions to get our business on track. One thing that differentiates RevenueZen from the rest is they’re a smart B2B marketing team. They even develop their own technology to have some comparative advantages, as opposed to just being an agency. Are there any areas they could improve? I would like them to have more capabilities to build a much broader general strategy. One thing that I do want is more conversion rate optimization, more advertising support, and high-level thought leadership. RevenueZen needs to grow its way into becoming a full-service B2B marketing team for Silicon Valley tech companies. They’re doing a big part of that now, but I would actually like to pay them more money to do more stuff — and they just don’t have that yet. Do you have any advice for potential customers? The thing I’d suggest is you'd want to come in with an open mind. Think of RevenueZen as a high-level partner for you. Expect to pay for it, but more importantly, expect them to have opinions on what to do. You need to go in with an objective, as opposed to a set of paths, and work with them to figure out their proposal about how to achieve that. --- #### Marketing & Advertising Support for Software Company **The Project** - Services: Advertising - Project size: Less than $10,000 - Project length: Jan. - May 2021 **Project Summary**: RevenueZen helped a software startup to manage outbound end-to-end activities in LinkedIn.

Their open to sharing best practices and given they work with many fast-growing startups they know what works and what doesn't. Are there any areas for improvement? I don't have anything to add here. --- #### Marketing Consultation for House Painting Company **The Project** - Services: Other Digital Marketing - Project size: Less than $10,000 - Project length: Jan. 2021 - Ongoing **Project Summary**: RevenueZen (formerly Doorbell Digital Marketing) provides digital consultation for a house painting company.

" **BACKGROUND** Please describe your company and your position there. I am the co-founder of an exterior house painting company. We want to scale and modernize service-based businesses starting with this industry. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** For what projects/services did your company hire Doorbell Digital Marketing? We just needed a consultation to help us identify our needs for digital marketing. We used the website review service DDM offers What were your goals for this project? The consultation was limited in scope to how we can increase our in-house lead gen. We wanted specific actionable steps. **SOLUTION** How did you select Doorbell Digital Marketing? Serendipity, happened to hear of DDM from word of mouth. Describe the scope of their work in detail. A 1-hour, one-on-one consultation with feedback on our current digital marketing strategy and advice for how to move forward. As well as a post-meeting recap with actionable steps and material. What was the team composition? One on one meeting with the owner, Ken Marshal. We were extremely impressed with his professionalism and focus during the consultation- he really made excellent use of the time and asked the right questions. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success? After implementing just a few of their suggestions, we saw website traffic increase significantly and we predict growth will continue and even increase as we continue to follow the strategy roadmap. What did you find most impressive about this company? An incredible amount of knowledge and experience. Also, the company owner clearly cares about his clients and the community. I could tell that unlike other vendors, they're not going to just take your money and produce "some" results. They have high moral values and ethics and treat you with respect. Honestly, I want to grow our company so that we can work even more with DMM. As a business owner you can tell when an investment is going to really pay off. This company is it 100% Are there any areas for improvement? This is not the largest company and I could see some small ways that they could improve if they scale much larger. However, that would decrease their value proposition.

I am the owner, manager, sales etc. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** For what projects/services did your company hire Doorbell Digital Marketing, and what were your goals? We hired Doorbell Digital Marketing to revamp our website that was only a couple of years old but not getting any of the response that we were wanting. Our goal was to increase traffic, appear in the top Google searches and create some traffic in a neighboring state. Also to be able to interface with our Social Media accts. **SOLUTION** How did you select Doorbell Digital Marketing and what were the deciding factors? Our social media technician chose Doorbell Digital Marketing for us. Best decision we have ever made! Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used. Our Social Media tech, Social Beacon Media handled just about everything. I relayed what my expectations and my goals were as far as the business was concerned and Brreeze handled all the technical issues from there.

I did not have to have much input except what my goals were. They stuck to the timeline they gave me with no deviations. What did you find most impressive or unique about this company? The fact that Ken did not talk over my head and the results that we saw even before the project was completed. As I said our original website was not very old and it just never took off so I could compare apples to apples and the results were amazing. Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently? Not that I know of. I spent way more money and time the first time around with a local company here preparing the website. I would leave the meetings with the first company feeling like my head was spinning and they always gave me a list of things I had to do before it could go any further. Doorbell Digital Marketing rarely ever had to have something from me and Ken never talked over my head. --- #### Digital Marketing & SEO Services for Outsourcing Company **The Project** - Services: Content Marketing, Digital Strategy, Pay Per Click, Search Engine Optimization - Project size: $10,000 to $49,999 - Project length: July 2020 - Ongoing **Project Summary**: RevenueZen (formerly Doorbell Digital Marketing) provides digital marketing services to an outsourcing and offshoring company.

As they prepared to launch, their professional services automation (PSA) product, they knew they had to pursue more aggressive market growth. When they first approached FPS, they were looking for an SEO partner to help recover from the traffic and keyword decline they’d experienced after a website redesign. They had already done in-depth research of their targeted buyer personas but needed help and support in creating the messaging that would move them through the (notoriously slow) SaaS buyer’s journey and compel them to convert. They also needed help sorting out and focusing on the high-intent (and therefore, high conversion) keywords while eliminating any “vanity” keywords — the mega-volume keywords that look good on paper but don’t always align with intent or result in conversions. Our approach was to hone in on the most critical keywords and either map them to our client’s existing content or create new content to improve ranking through powerful search optimization. They already had a lot of content, but it was scattered in its organization and inconsistent in its delivery. Some content was repetitive, and in many cases, they were competing against themselves for SERP rank. Much of the raw material was there — but they needed our help to refine it and put it to work delivering results.1-Year Results:- 50% increase in leads originating from the blog- 67% increase in blog traffic- 80% of top-traffic blogs led to free trial, demo clicks, and contact initiation- 20% increase in blog posts ranking on the first page ### 216% increase in ranking keywords, in 6 months As Future.co prepared to launch their new site, they knew they wanted better SEO results. They just weren't sure where their current site stood in terms of SEO best practices, and they wanted to be confident that the new site they were building was heading in the right direction. Future.co wanted First Page Strategy to perform a technical SEO audit of their existing site, using that as a springboard to deliver recommendations on best practices for the new site. From our perspective, it was a unique situation. Normally, we find SEO issues and fix them right away. But for this project, we needed to carefully evaluate the effort, expected results, and timeframe to see results in order to determine whether the fix should be made on the existing site or built into the new site instead. We also wanted to provide any needed education for the Future.co team so they knew the best steps forward when it came to technical SEO. 6-Month Results - 216% increase in total ranking keywords - 51% increase in first page keywords - 83% increase in organic traffic value ### SuccessHACKER wins through SEO & outbound strategy Company SuccessHacker is a Customer Success advisory firm focused on providing education, recruiting, and consulting to high-growth companies. The Challenge SuccessHACKER recognized the importance of scalable and innovative approaches to sales when they partnered with RevenueZen in early 2019, however, they didn’t have the tools, bandwidth, or copywriting expertise to effectively implement and test any of these new ideas. In order to expand their sales outreach and pipeline, SH knew they needed a team who were expert copywriters (not only to craft their messaging, but to rewrite their website,) SEO masters, and outbound marketers. The solution The strategy that RevenueZen came up with for SuccessHACKER was threefold. First, RevenueZen would optimize the SuccessHACKER website to ensure their mission was clear and ameliorate any problems with the site. This included a total rewrite of the website copy. Secondly, RevenueZen built out an entire sales playbook and outreach strategy. Using Linkedin and email, a testable and scalable outbound sales plan was created. The plan remained a living document that would be updated regularly based on feedback from prospects and the SuccessHACKER sales team. Finally, an entire SEO strategy was custom designed for the SuccessHACKER brand. RevenueZen created a thorough keyword portfolio, audience assessment, editorial guidelines, and blog calendar. RevenueZen coordinated with writers and designers to create written collateral for SuccessHACKER. RevenueZen collaborated with the SuccessHACKER team on all of these projects to ensure they could continue to expand on them in the future and build on them as they evolved. ### 115% increase in revenue from client's blog Each client's target audience is unique, and that's especially true for Incfile. With a user base composed of scrappy self-starters eager to set off on their entrepreneurial journey, Incfile's audience is anything but indifferent. With that in mind, we knew an overtly sales-y approach wasn't the way to go. An audience like Incfile's responds best to accurate information and a straightforward choice, not emotional manipulation and negative selling tactics. So to earn their business via blog posts, we needed to focus on taking Incfile's CTA game to the next level. We used HubSpot to create custom blog-specific CTAs. Then, we began by mapping the most highly trafficked blog posts to the right CTAs and worked our way through the remainder of Incfile's 900+ blog posts. Next, we set up reporting to track not only CTA clicks but also where users went after leaving the blog. This helped us understand Incfile's audience, the journey they were on, and the way in which they interacted with the content, which in turn informed how we could better serve their needs. Finally, we set out to improve each blog post's CTA even further by making them short, sweet, and to the point. 3-Year Results:- 115% increase in revenue from the blog - 150% increase in transactions ### Carevoyance dominates page one of Google Company Carevoyance is a sales enablement platform for medical technology companies that helps Medtech commercial teams design, launch and measure sales and marketing campaigns. The Challenge Five months after launching the website and trying their hand at managing content marketing in-house, they didn’t have the time to be consistent about content creation or stay on top of the constantly evolving world of technical SEO. The marketing team needed a partner that could identify quick SEO wins and execute a long-term inbound marketing strategy that would strategically position Carevoyance as the definitive healthcare sales and marketing solution while generating a high-value source of leads for their team to convert to sales. The RZ Solution Working with the Carevoyance leadership team, RevenueZen: Built out a full keyword portfolio with laser targeted search terms. Created a quarterly content calendar to help march down our content strategy. Conducted A full SEO audit of the Carevoyance website and implemented technical SEO fixes. Brought on subject-matter experts from the healthcare and medical technology fields to write eight pieces of blog content per month. Carefully optimized each piece of content for search engines, readability, industry authority at every stage of production. Content was published at a cadence of two posts per week, after which it was syndicated by the RevenueZen team. In addition to content production, the RevenueZen leadership team was dedicated to helping Carevoyance generate more and more qualified leads by experimenting with different demand generation strategies. Results Between May 2018 and May 2019, RevenueZen grew organic traffic by over 1000% for Carevoyance and secured over 100 quality page one keywords. Most importantly, RevenueZen’s content marketing resulted in an 830% increase in organic inbound leads, making it one of the strongest lead generation channels for Carevoyance. ### 1000% increase in backlinks We began Incfile's backlink overhaul by crafting content around popular topics the target audience — entrepreneurs — was truly interested in learning more about. We also made a point to incorporate industry experts into Incfile's blog posts regularly. This lent authority and credibility to the blog and also increased those experts' likelihood of sharing the blog on their own sites and social media pages. We set out to establish genuine relationships with industry professionals and potential customers alike to cultivate natural, Google-approved backlinks. One component of this approach entailed getting in touch with editors via both HARO (a platform that connects journalists with subject matter experts) and traditional PR tactics. By doing so, we created a pool of people we could reach out to, collaborate with, and share new content with. We also made sure to get involved with the entrepreneur community. We accomplished that by creating community-focused content on Incfile's website and blog and utilizing forums such as Quora, Reddit, SlideShare, and Visually. While links from such forums don't carry as much weight in search results as other links, participating in these communities helps drive brand awareness, organic links, and more traffic to our client's site. Next, we created high-quality content for other sites, always analyzing the topics that most interest their readers. Once another site's editor approved our pitch, we maintained the same high content standard we have for our own blog. Finally, we created a grant program for our client that enabled us to help aspiring entrepreneurs. Then, we worked to get the word about it out to as many potential small business owners as possible. 3-Year Results:- 866% increase in referring domains- 997% increase in total backlinks ### Project with adlink tech Project with Adlink Tech in order to drive up customer awareness. ### 270% increase in leads, in just 1 year To ensure we generated as many new leads as possible while delivering high-quality content, capturing users' attention, and providing a seamless experience, we put a great deal of effort into SEO and targeted paid advertising. This helped get the right people to the right pages. We didn't stop there, though. Once a visitor is on a page, we need to ensure they can quickly find exactly what they're looking for and guide them through the appropriate customer journey accordingly. As they move along that journey, we have mechanisms in place to capture leads and offer genuinely valuable products and services. Our lead generation philosophy is all about improving the user experience and making it easy for potential customers to ultimately find the best products for them. We accomplished that by adopting new processes for testing, optimizing, and automating. It was crucial for us to consistently test setups and technical operations in order to identify any previously overlooked bumps in the road. Specifically, we ensured all automation tools were properly set up, connected all lead gens forms to the correct workflows and reporting dashboards, eliminated duplicate forms and workflows, confirmed all lead gen forms received appropriate follow-up and nurture campaigns, and continued to conduct regular checks to ensure everything was functioning as intended and running smoothly. In the same vein, we also conducted a thorough audit of Incfile's existing forms, workflows, content, and lead nurturing tactics. From that audit, we were able to find several ways to optimize and improve our existing campaigns, leading to a 55% increase in lead volume the first month. We also aimed to relieve Incfile of manual tasks (and improve the user experience while we were at it) by automating particularly time-consuming duties. 1-Year Results:- 270% increase in leads- 47% increase in visit-to-submission conversion rate- 211% increase in time spent on page ### Project with Belkin Provided overall digital services to Belkin in order to drive up customer awareness. ### Project with sheerid Provided digital strategy services to Sheerid in order to drive up customer awareness. ### Project with Data World Provided digital strategy services to data world in order to improve customer awareness. ### Project with funraise Funraise brought RevenueZen on in November 2019 to help them create content to engage their target audience. RevenueZen held monthly brainstorming sessions, where we worked alongside the Funraise sales team to come up with themes and pull stories to create written content around. Together, the two teams would dive into topics relevant to modern fundraisers. We’d explore themes such as the evolution of nonprofits, how fundraising is adapting to modern times, and how nonprofits can adopt more traditional business-style acumen. Often, we’d come up with content that challenged the status quo, driving conversations to the Funraise team. The Funraise team was able to position themselves as thought leaders in the industry, and have meaningful conversations surrounding the content, strengthening their personal and organizational brand identities. ### Project with zix RevenueZen provides ongoing digital strategy and content marketing services for an email security provider.
