Searchbloom

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

Searchbloom consistently improves organic search rankings by 2–3 spots and meets domain authority goals of at least 40. They pretty much always guarantee positive momentum.

How did Searchbloom perform from a project management standpoint?

Whenever I send a backlink request to their team, they usually respond within a couple hours. I know I can trust them to get the work done without having to micromanage them or follow up.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They guarantee solid backlinks for any keyword I give them; it's great to be able to reliably offer that service to our clients. We can always get them a backlink within 30 days without fail, which is enormously valuable from an agency-client relationship standpoint.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I'm not sure if it's possible, but when I initiate a backlink it would be helpful to know where it's going to be published beforehand.

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

Financial impacts can be hard to delineate because customers actions don’t follow a direct course of action from advertising to buying. However, the fact that I’m still working Searchbloom after four years indicates the value they provide.

Metrics-wise, my client has grown from zero to tens of thousands of subscribers and ranks number one for dozens of important keywords. Their percentage of conversions from organic search has improved, and their blended cost of conversion (price of all advertising divided by all conversions) dropped by more than half.

How did Searchbloom perform from a project management standpoint?

Overall, their communication has been excellent. They adapted to my preferred style and provide me with forward-looking, strategic updates because I analyze the numbers and metrics on my own. They’re also quite willing to replace resources if I request a change.

Though we normally hum along, we’ll have an occasional issue with an emerging competitor and need to adjust our process. They’ll analyze what the competitor might be doing better than us and then make adjustments to counteract those techniques.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They’re experts in the entire spectrum of SEO practices, including how best to structure website data. While I haven’t always worked with Cody, he’s always made himself available to let me pick his brain and ask him for advice. In some ways, he’s been an important mentor to me.

Are there any areas they could improve?

They need to increase their hiring in order to accommodate their continuous growth. Although not every hire will work out, expanding their workforce will help them sustain foster long-term success.

Do you have any advice for future clients of theirs?

Start as fast as possible. Time is important, and you don’t want SEO to be only a long-term project. Therefore, budget as a high a spend as possible. You can always slow down later on.

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

We’ve seen a 50% growth rate per year since the project started, and we’ve had significant increases in traffic and conversions. We’ve gone from being hidden in search results to showing up on the first page. Our online business is now showing real potential, and we give Searchbloom credit for helping that happen.

How did Searchbloom perform from a project management standpoint?

They give us high-level communication through the phone, email, and occasional in-person meetings. Though there have been a few missed deadlines, it was never because of a lack of professionalism or scheduling on their part. They give us detailed reports on our progress, and they never tailor the information to be what we want to hear. They are honest, professional and structured when communicating about the project.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Searchbloom’s expertise and passion are what make them stand out from others in the industry. The founder leads an engaged team that is detail- and process-oriented. There is never any room for confusion because they give us thorough information in our meetings. We value their attentiveness, focus, and energy; working with them has been a home run.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

It’s important to have the resources necessary for any SEO third-party relationship, or else their services can’t be executed in the most effective way. You should also be willing to invest non-financial resources in this collaboration to get the best results.

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

We probably won’t have hard data until the site is launched and established. We hope to have concrete numbers in a few months. In terms of functionality, the site is easy to navigate, intriguing, and engaging. A visitor will decide in the first few seconds whether to stay on the site or move on. They’ve done a good job capturing that initial interest, and keeping our potential clients focused.

Friends and colleagues are all excited about the project. I gave a presentation with side-by-sides of the old site and the new one, highlighting our logo and the new brand identity. The difference in response strongly favored the new design.

How did Searchbloom perform from a project management standpoint?

Communication will make or break a project. They were always available. They listened to my ideas, and were willing to share and discuss their thoughts.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Their professionalism and their execution impressed me. They delivered a combination of what I wanted and what I needed. They really followed through with their claims, and my money, time, and effort were well spent. They communicate constantly through any changes, and put me at ease. I really enjoy working with them, and will definitely call on them for future projects.
