BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I'm the managing partner of Stelth Group, a collateral loan agency based in New York City.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with SEO Brand?

We hired SEO Brand for their SEO services. We also needed them to manage our social media accounts and do some work on our website.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

SEO Brand is working on growing our domain ranking and getting us to the first page via blogs and web page optimization. They're also cleaning things up and doing a lot of technical work on the backend. We've given them our existing keyword research and analytics, but they've devised their own system. We've added to it as we go.

SEO Brand is also on top of all our social media in terms of posting content. They create most of the content, but we generate some things for them to post, mainly without a specific strategy, and we handle the generated leads. They're constantly optimizing our website and adding new pages at our request. They also do UX/UI work, blog posts, and page optimization.

What is the team composition?

We have a team of 6–7 people working on our account. We have a primary point of contact who leads all our weekly calls. He's constantly in touch with us and is usually on top of the optimization. We also have Kelli, who is responsible for all our social media content and some of the content that goes onto the website. There's also a team of web developers that work on our behalf.

How did you come to work with SEO Brand?

We found them online and set up a call. We were introduced to their entire team and worked with them immediately.

How much have you invested with them?

We've spent about $100,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in August 2023, and the engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

SEO Brand's results speak for themselves. We rank higher and get a lot of organic traffic and leads now. We've never been on the first page for anything, and generating organic business was very difficult; we depended a lot on Google Ads.

Now, 70% of our business comes from organic leads, and we're constantly ranked on the first page for many different assets, and if not first position, definitely a top five. Our domain ranking has increased, and we have many more backlinks now.

How did SEO Brand perform from a project management standpoint?

Overall, SEO Brand is great. If we happen to have different ideas, they suggest improvements, educate us, always treat us fairly, and do everything on time. We have no issues with their work.

We use Basecamp at their request and communicate regularly via Google Meet and email.

Are there any employees from the service provider's team that you would like to give a shout-out to in this review?

We appreciate Righardt's and Kelli's work. Righardt is our main point of contact, and Kelli is responsible for our social media content.

What did you find most impressive about them?

SEO Brand is very efficient. They're budget-wise and economical for us for the amount of work they do. They're on top of everything.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, there's nothing I can come up with at the moment.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Let SEO Brand do their homework. Put your feelings about your business aside and listen to them because they know what they're talking about and what they're doing. They've helped us grow tremendously, but it wouldn't have happened if I had been more stubborn. We've been delighted with the modifications they've advised us to make.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with SEO Brand?

SEO Brand has created a lead generation strategy on Google to drive consumers to our website and assess their interest in our products.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

SEO Brand has helped me with SEO, which includes changes to my website to make it more appealing. Basically they're doing multiple different things to increase my website traffic.

What is the team composition?

There's a whole team from SEO Brand working on my project, but I mostly work directly with James (Project Manager), who does all the heavy lifting. Initially, I also worked with Danielle (Sales Director).

How did you come to work with SEO Brand?

We found them through a service provider search site. I looked at about two or three of these sites, and I believe Clutch was one of them. Still, I went with the one that seemed more consistent, and there I found SEO Brand.

I reached out to SEO Brand to start a conversation with them, and they quickly responded and scheduled a meeting. They were very courteous, kind, and informational, and the meeting was short. They got to the point, which was nice.

From there, we had a second, longer meeting to discuss my needs in greater detail and see what they could do for me. After that, SEO Brand presented a proposal, which I accepted. We've been working together ever since.

How much have you invested with them?

We've spent under $10,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We've been working together since February 2024

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Since working with SEO Brand, we've seen an increase in website traffic and leads, so we're very happy about that. The traffic to our Peak 301 product page has been phenomenal, and it has led to many consumers purchasing it. I've been extremely happy with the lead generation strategy performance.

How did SEO Brand perform from a project management standpoint?

The value of SEO Brand's work for what I've paid has been worth it. I've been very happy with their performance, considering what they've achieved for me and how much it has cost to achieve it. Overall, SEO Brand has exceeded expectations regarding project management. they've been a very easy and capable company to work with.

SEO Brand has their own online project management software that we use to communicate. This software works also through email, so we communicate via email. Moreover, we have monthly phone conversations to go over project statuses.

Are there any employees from the service provider's team that you would like to give a shout-out to in this review?

James has been very patient and easy to work with. He makes it very simple for me to do what I need to do and to make the decisions I need to make. Overall, he's phenomenal and does a wonderful job of both understanding what needs to be done and guiding me through the process.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Firstly, the best thing that SEO Brand has done has been to generate leads for me and my business. Secondly, they communicate very well. Thirdly, they've made it very easy to do business with them.

Are there any areas they could improve?

James needs to change his background image for our online meetings because it's a beach, and it makes me want to stop working and go on vacation.

Do you have any advice for future clients of theirs?

Be honest with SEO Brand about your expectations and what you believe success looks like for your business. Then, listen to their recommendations, make the changes they recommend, and watch what happens.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.
I'm the owner and president of Four Seasons Direct. We're a small chain of women's apparel stores in Illinois and Iowa. In total, we have six stores and a gift store.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with SEO Brand?
We had an old e-commerce website based on BigCommerce, so I looked around for a company to help me update its design while staying on BigCommerce; it was a very important part of the project.

We cater to a 55+-year-old female customer. Thus, we needed this website to be easy to navigate and shop from. It couldn't have too many bells and whistles because my customer needed to see things in a straightforward way.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?
SEO Brand helped me redesign my website, implementing a fresh new look. Initially, we reviewed my current website and discussed what I liked and didn't like about its design. We also referenced other websites I liked.

After the initial call, we looked at predesigned themes on BigCommerce, and I selected the one I liked the most. Although there were many things I loved about that website, it didn't reflect my business's personality, and it had too many options I really didn't need. Therefore, SEO Brand spent a lot of time doing backend work to customize the theme and ensure that it could be applied to my products in the right way.

As a brick-and-mortar store, we sell physical gift cards, but we also sell digital gift cards through our website. As mentioned above, we cater to a more mature customer. Therefore, she was confused about what kind of gift card she was buying. One of the most unique features SEO Brand helped me with was implementing a layout on which the customer could easily see what kind of gift card was she buying so that she could get directed to the right link.

What is the team composition?
Kelli (Senior Project Manager) was my main point of contact.

How did you come to work with SEO Brand?
I found them on Google. I interviewed multiple companies, and SEO Brand won my business because they were able to work with BigCommerce.

How much have you invested with them?
I spent around $5,000.

What is the status of this engagement?
We started working together in August 2023, and the project was delivered in October 2023.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
I'm really happy with how the website turned out; their work exceeded my expectations. After the website was redesigned, I saw a significant increase in visits, our conversion rate went from 0.14 to 0.27, and our revenue and orders increased.

How did the company perform from a project management standpoint?
SEO Brand delivered on time and on budget and communicated well with me. We communicated via phone calls and emails.
 
Are there any employees from the service provider's team that you would like to give a shout-out to in this review?

Kelli was very efficient; she always came back very quickly and with a good solution for my business. Moreover, she always listened to my change requests and implemented them efficiently, so I was very happy with how she worked. Overall, she was professional and relaxed at the same time, which made her very easy to work with.

What did you find most impressive about them?
Their communication and timeliness were SEO Brand's biggest strengths. Overall, they were very easy to work with.

Are there any areas they could improve?
There was nothing they could have improved on.

Do you have any advice for future clients of theirs?
Ensure good communication and follow through. To set the foundation for a great project, you need a partner who is nice and communicates well. SEO Brand is a very nice team.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the owner of a personal injury law firm.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with SEO Brand?

We hired them to revamp our website and run our marketing campaign.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

SEO Brand runs my online marketing campaign and provides me with SEO and PPC services. They’ve also provided us with web development services. Initially, SEO Brand revamped my website, including its themes, colors, and content. Once they had the site up and running, the team started working on marketing. 

The SEO Brand team has done keyword research and written content for us. As for PPC, they run ads for us on Google Ads. 

What is the team composition?

We work with three teammates from SEO Brand, including Mike (CEO). 

How did you come to work with SEO Brand?

We found them through a Google search. 

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent about $10,000 with SEO Brand. 

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with them around June 2023, and the engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

I’ve been working with SEO Brand for nearly six months and have seen a drastic improvement in the amount of clients I’m getting. So far, we’ve gotten about 10–12 clients thanks to SEO Brand’s efforts. 

Additionally, SEO Brand has done a great job with our website revamp. The site looks great, and SEO Brand always makes any needed changes immediately. 

I had previously worked for a law firm where I had to deal with other agencies and didn’t have good experiences, so I didn’t have high expectations for this project. However, I’m happy with SEO Brand and glad I found them — they’ve exceeded my expectations. 

Moreover, Mike is amazing. He’s young and brings loads of practical experience to his work. Mike is also always available and answers all my questions, no matter what they are. Overall, he’s very professional. 

How did SEO Brand perform from a project management standpoint?

They meet deadlines and stay within the budget. SEO Brand uses the budget well, resulting in good value for money. The team is also accommodating; there was a period when they suspended the campaign as needed. 

I have monthly video calls with SEO Brand’s marketing team to discuss results and see if we need to tweak anything. Whenever I have a request, I email Mike or talk to other team members on the phone. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

I’m most impressed with how SEO Brand can compete in the market. Other companies pay many thousands of dollars a month, and I can compete with them with a fraction of that thanks to SEO Brand. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

I don’t have constructive criticism; they’ve done everything I’ve asked for. 

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

I recommend SEO Brand and, specifically, Mike.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the president of Longwave Financial, an investment management firm headquartered in New York. We serve about 400 clients. 

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with SEO Brand?

We were looking to improve our marketing performance, so we hired SEO Brand for their SEO services. Since we started out with zero SEO presence, we wanted to create an SEO campaign and understand our target demographic. Moreover, we wanted to have a geographic presence for one of our services. Our company specialized in sustainable investing, so we needed to rank for that in three geographic areas. 

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

SEO Brand initially did an audit of where we were, and we discussed that audit. We figured out what could be implemented, what they could take charge of, and what had to stay the same. From there, we started collaborating on SEO work. 

They’ve helped me learn about SEO and gave us suggestions for changes. Some changes are easy to make on the backend, but we have to look at everything because everything they suggest needs to be compliant with business regulations. Our internal team does our content since it has to be authentic to our voice, but SEO Brand always gives us feedback on how to optimize such content. 

We’ve considered PPC, but our team isn’t ready for that yet. We’re sticking with SEO work for now. Nonetheless, the engagement is evolving. We’ve been thinking about how we can pivot the engagement into something that meets our needs while we focus on something else for the remainder of the year. 

What is the team composition?

My primary contacts have been Danielle (Sales Director) and Jinny (Account Manager). There’s a team working behind the scenes. 

How did you come to work with SEO Brand?

I tried to read up on different feedback for SEO firms and educated myself on what to look for; three names came up, and SEO Brand was one of those names. They were the most ideal team for us. We had a call with Danielle, and that call convinced me that they were the right team to hire. Everybody else tried to fit us in a box and didn’t care what we wanted to do. Meanwhile, SEO Brand truly understood us as a client. 

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve invested around $15,000–$20,000. 

What is the status of this engagement?

The engagement started in February 2023, and it’s ongoing. 

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We’ve seen an uptick in website traffic. Our website is also on the first page of search results for specific keywords. This is the most important result for us. Since we don’t sell a specific product, the way we measure success is through the people who reach out to us after finding us on Google. We’ve seen a handful of them. I’d love to see 100 more of them, but our job is highly specific to certain geographic areas, so there isn’t a giant customer pool.

How did SEO Brand perform from a project management standpoint?

Their project management is fantastic, and we’ve never gone over budget. Moreover, SEO Brand works with different types of companies, including dental care, landscaping, and software companies. Our company is different because we sell relationships and not products. They can do the same SEO work for all of us, but they don’t. They approach the work from a different angle, and they’re supportive of our SEO education. 

Jinny has truly invested herself in trying to understand us as a company. Besides that, the team welcomes pushback, such as when we tell them we can’t do something they suggest. They’re also open to feedback when we tell them we don’t like one version of their outputs. As a result, I’ve learned a lot — they helped me understand how to become a good SEO client. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

They’ve reduced our fees because we didn’t do some things included in their initial proposal. That kind of integrity is mind-boggling since not a lot of firms tend to do that. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

Some teammates who handle backend tasks are overseas, and they’re not native English speakers. As a result, there’s a disconnect between the language that they offer versus the language that is appropriate for an English-speaking website. 

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

You must have highly specific goals when you hire SEO Brand. Be as open and honest with them as possible if you want them to meet your goals. If you’re not happy with how things are working out, you have to tell them. If you have a question, ask them even if you’re afraid to sound stupid. 

In other words, you have to help them help you. They’re the experts; they’re the surgeon that does the surgery, but I also have to tell them what my specific problem is so that they don’t operate in the wrong area.
