Digital PR Campaign with National Franchise
Mobile Klinik is Canada’s #1 resource to buy, sell, repair, and connect mobile devices. Seeking to improve their backlink profile, grow visibility, and drive more traffic, they enlisted the help of seoplus+ for a Digital PR campaign.
- Throughout April and May, 23 links were successfully landed from these efforts.
- As a result, in March 2021, Mobile Klinik had less than 20,000 sessions on their website, and by July, it grew to over 97,000 sessions.
- About 72% of those sessions were from new users, meaning that the leads from the backlinks have contributed to their organic web traffic growth.
- From March 2021 to July 2021, Mobile Klinik’s citation flow & trust flow have improved from 19/40 to 25/40.

Gifford Carr Insurance Group is a leading insurance brokerage in Ontario, offering both person and business insurance. Seeking to increase traffic and leads and improve their digital brand and presence, seoplus+ implemented an SEO strategy to drive more traffic and high-quality leads.
Challenge:
The brokerage worked with another web provider previously, but saw a plateau in results. They needed better results in terms of traffic, leads, and organic visibility.
Approach:
- seoplus+ met with the Gifford Carr team to understand their needs and objectives. We conducted extensive keyword research and implemented comprehensive SEO optimizations to maximize performance and user experience.

SEO, PPC & Web Dev for Building Materials Manufacturer
"We don’t have to reach out to them to make sure they’re on task."
the reviewer
the review
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I'm the director of sales and marketing at AMBICO, a manufacturer and distributor of specialty, commercial, and industrial-grade doors, frames, and windows.
Our products typically meet performance rating standards, so they are acoustic-resistant, blast-resistant, bullet-resistant, radio frequency-shielded, and more. We also manufacture our products with decorative materials, such as stainless steel, brass, and bronze.
What challenge were you trying to address with seoplus+?
We needed help trying to improve our organic online reach and driving our SEO. Our team also needed some assistance in digital marketing.
What was the scope of their involvement?
seoplus+ is improving our website’s keyword structure — they ensure we have good content on our website and social media pages. Their team reviews and offers edits to our video and photo content, while our team handles the technical aspect.
Additionally, seoplus+ is managing our paid ad campaigns on Facebook and LinkedIn. They’re also enhancing our WordPress website — we provide the content and develop its layout and landing pages.
What is the team composition?
Their team consists of a team lead, SEO specialists, content creators, and web developers. At any given time, 3–4 resources are working on our account.
How did you come to work with seoplus+?
Our former marketing coordinator took a course where seoplus+ was the speaker, and they connected at the event. The coordinator recommended them to me.
How much have you invested with them?
We’re spending around $1,500–$2,000 CAD (approximately $1,200–$1,600
USD) a month.
What is the status of this engagement?
We started working together in September 2017, and it’s ongoing.
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
We’ve seen our search rankings, leads generation, and sales conversion trending up. Metrics ebb and flow for various reasons, including Google’s constant play with their algorithms. It’s not a direct line, but we’ve seen significant improvement.
We don’t have a way to measure our return on ad spend. We had paused our paid ads campaigns for a while after realizing that its cost per conversion was high. However, that pause harmed our organic traffic. We think people get to us through our paid ads, but they don’t immediately convert. They come back sometime later, but they eventually convert.
How did seoplus+ perform from a project management standpoint?
We meet monthly through a video conference to review our SEO performance and any ongoing trends.
We didn’t have any problems with their scheduling. However, there has been a cost escalation on our web development project because of some scope creep.
What did you find most impressive about them?
seoplus+ is good at communication — we don’t have to reach out to them to make sure they’re on task. We have regularly scheduled meetings, which allow us to grasp what they’re doing and its impact on our programs.
Are there any areas they could improve?
They could make sure that their client understood the project’s scope to avoid cost escalation.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
Be as clear and thorough as possible about the engagement to allow both sides to understand the project scope clearly. That said, seoplus+ has been good with communication, and it’s one of the reasons why we do well together.

PPC Services for Health & Wellness Firm

The client submitted this review online.
Please describe your company and your position there.
I'm the VP of a Health & Wellness firm that specializes in 1 on 1 coaching for women, to help them permanently lose the stubborn excess weight that often accompanies menopause. This personalized program, created based on a blood test and personal assessment, provides a 34-page customized eating plan, an online video information portal, private Facebook group, as well as personal coaching to help women lose weight and adjust their eating habits and patterns in a gradual, achievable and permanent way. All by eating only real whole foods they buy at their grocery store. No shakes, bottles, pills or shots.
For what projects/services did your company hire seoplus+?
We were looking for an online marketing and advertising firm to help us develop a strategy and implement a Google ad program to drive traffic to drive sales through our online webinar/masterclass and website
How did you select this vendor?
We were referred to this company by another respected business contact who uses their services
Describe the scope of their work in detail.
After several discovery meetings, we were introduced to a team of about 6 people who would assist in the market research, keyword/phrase and SEO data creation, creative development of graphics and copy of our website landing pages as well as the overall strategy for bringing our program and ads to Google in a coordinated way. Further, the process continues to be monitored since launch in order to allow for adjustments to improve response.
What was the team composition?
Our experience began with an Account Manager who assessed our needs and introduced us to an Ads Manager who was supervised our work. She brought in a team of specialists including a Paid Ads Manager who helped develop the key wording and copy, as well as monitor and adjust our keywords as time progresses, a creative web design person, who put together the creative and functionality for our landing pages and links to our online resources, as well as two other specialists at the beginning who helped develop our copy and functionality of the marketing process. Our Account Manager has continued to monitor progress and hold periodic progress meetings
Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?
Within the first 4 weeks we'd seen a steady increase in both clicks and conversions, which lead to our first sale closing from the campaign. The team has continued to monitor campaign progress and send us data updates as well as make adjustments to suit the trends and results of the campaign. These efforts have kept our click percentage rate quite high for our industry, as well as keeping our cost per click down. Results have continued to improve, driving additional closings.
How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?
During the initial stages of campaign development, online meetings were regular, with as many as 6 people on the coordinating team in attendance. Follow up work and reporting after the meetings was always quick and thorough. Response to questions was typically within 12-24 hrs, with either Zoom calls or emails being exchanged depending on importance of issue. All members of the seoplus+ team are skilled, courteous, and pleasant to deal with.
What did you find most impressive about this company?
How quickly the team was brought together and not only demonstrated their vast understanding of how online marketing works, and should be approached, but also how quickly they developed a good understanding of what we do and how quickly they came up with different strategies to approach different parts of the demographics within our prospects. The assembly of key phrases and wording was remarkable in a very short time
Is there any area for improvement or anything that could have been done differently?
It is very difficult to be critical of the process and how we've been handled so far. If anything, with the number of specialists who went to work on our project at the outset, it was challenging at first to keep track of who was doing what. It took about a week to settle into who everyone was. But I'd say that's a little like the first day on a cruise, as you try to figure out where things are on the ship taking you on this fabulous journey. Perhaps having a more regular weekly check-in report as the campaign evolves would be more convenient.

Website Revamp & Digital Marketing for Duct-Cleaning Company
“They’re unlike any other marketing or SEO company we’ve dealt with because we’re getting phenomenal customer service.”
the reviewer
the review
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I’m the VP of operations with Power Vac of Ottawa, a duct-cleaning company located in Richmond, Ontario.
What challenge were you trying to address with seoplus+?
We were ultimately looking to increase our website traffic and ranking in organic traffic. We weren't getting a lot of business through our website or Google Ads. We needed to optimize our search engine and website management.
What was the scope of their involvement?
seoplus+ has done a combination of several things. They revamped our website and optimized our Google Ads management, which included working on Google My Business. The team did keyword optimization and backlinking, and they revamped all of our paid and organic ads.
They’re starting to work on PR strategy and digital marketing. There was so much they had to do when they came on board, so they’ve been working in different areas.
What is the team composition?
Their team structure is phenomenal. I coordinate and regularly speak with 10–12 team members, as well as the account manager. There’s been a specific person assigned to each area of our account, so there isn’t just one person doing everything.
How did you come to work with seoplus+?
It was a referral through somebody else who had done work with them. We had an in-depth meeting with them, and they provided us with information. They definitely did research in advance; the proposal was amazing, and their price structure was very good as well. They were very professional.
How much have you invested with them?
If I incorporate the monthly fees for SEO services, Google Ads management, as well as our Google Ads spend, it would be about $18,500 per month. Without the Google Ads spend, we pay them about $10,000 each month.
What is the status of this engagement?
Our signed contract began April 1, 2020, but we’d been in talks with them for two months prior to that. They wanted to make sure that they had all of their research done so that they could give us a really detailed plan of action prior to starting. We’re still working together.
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
Since we’ve started with them, our website traffic is up by 75%, our organic traffic is up by 36%, and our ranking increase is up by 55 spots. We have 25% new users. Google My Business is generating 82% more clicks and 25% more calls, while our Google Ads is generating more conversions at a lower cost per action. We’ve seen substantial improvements.
How did seoplus+ perform from a project management standpoint?
They’re excellent. If I had to rate them out of 10, I’d probably rate them an 11. They do all of the analytics tracking and provide me with detailed weekly updates. On average, I get at least five weekly reports from five different team members, as well as a weekly update from the project manager. They also provide a comprehensive monthly report.
All of the team members coordinate with me, letting me know what’s happening and asking for approvals. The account manager keeps on top of everything as well. I have direct contact with several different people there on a regular basis, so it’s been great and refreshing. They’re unlike any other marketing or SEO company we’ve dealt with because we’re getting phenomenal customer service. Rather than one person trying to do everything, they have key people that are knowledgeable in certain areas. We can utilize specific people for specific target areas.
What did you find most impressive about them?
Their professionalism sets them apart. They have newer, more innovative ideas in comparison to a lot of people. They research the market and appear to be a bit of a younger group, so they’re more up with what’s happening today, what people are looking for, and how to address the target market. We’ve tried several people over the last four years, and seoplus+ seems to be on top of what’s current in 2020.
Are there any areas they could improve?
I’d have to say no. I’ve never had any issues, and there isn’t anything they’d need to change. They’re 100% right on point.
Any advice for potential customers?
Be really forthcoming with all of your information, and be direct about what you’re looking for. Regardless of what you’re looking for, just be 100% transparent, and they’ll make sure to find the results that will match what you’re looking for.

A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I’m the general manager of a wooden box manufacturer.
What challenge were you trying to address with seoplus+?
We wanted to increase inquiries by pulling people into our website. Basically, our SEO company dropped the ball and we needed to switch vendors.
What was the scope of their involvement?
Initially, we had a consultation with Lisa (Account Manager). Their team then created and presented a plan. After we accepted the plan, Lisa coordinated with her team including digital and content specialists. They made minor structural changes to our website. Their team also directs backlinking efforts.
What is the team composition?
We’re in touch with 4–5 people from seoplus+.
How did you come to work with seoplus+?
We vetted a few different companies and assessed how they could assist our company. We eventually found seoplus+ through a local Google search. As a result of their price, services, and presentation, we felt that their team was the best fit for us.
How much have you invested with them?
We’ve spent roughly $20,000–$25,000 on their services.
What is the status of this engagement?
We started working with them around May 2019, and we have an ongoing contract with them.
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
Since we made the switch, we’ve seen a solid uptick in inquires. This past August we had 39% more inquiries than last August. The ROI on that’s significant. They accomplished their mission.
How did seoplus+ perform from a project management standpoint?
I receive a monthly report on the website’s performance and our keywords. Our account manager also sends an entirely different email that provides the information in more detail, which gives us a more personal feel.
Their SEO specialist’s fantastic and offers suggestions to help us target different markets. Their content specialist effectively revises and edits content to hit those targets. Their team quickly answers our questions.
What did you find most impressive about them?
Their team is invested in our business and provides fantastic customer service. When I have a question, they get right back to me. The ROI is also wonderful. They’re really helping to grow our company.
Are there any areas they could improve?
No, they’ve done everything that I’ve asked of them in a timely manner.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
Have ideas for where you want to go and what terms you want to target.

Please describe your company and your position there.
Director of Recruitment and Operations at Talentlab.
For what projects/services did your company hire seoplus+?
Despite being a 20-year-old company, TalentLab didn't have very much online presence and in 2019 our leadership team decided we needed to change this. We needed a partner to help us start from the ground up and develop a unified approach to our online efforts.
After meeting with several companies we chose to work with SEOPlus. It has been a great experience. They have several subject matter experts in a variety of areas from content to PPC, to help your team achieve the goals you have set.
We have found them to be flexible, solutions-based in their approach and able to create customized plans that help you achieve unique business goals.
What were your goals for this project?
We needed to start our online marketing efforts essentially from scatch.
How did you select this vendor?
I met with 7+ vendors and asked very tactical level questions about how they could help us achieve our goals and about their track record to date. I also investigated the vendor's own online presence. Surprisingly, I found several SEO vendors actually had terrible SEO themselves, which didn't inspire confidence.
In the end, we choose SEOPlus because they developed a well thought out plan, included a detailed proposal outlining the plan, and Connor (our Account Exec) was honest and avoided an overly sale-sy approach.
Describe the project in detail.
We have them doing several different projects concurrently for us, and this will continue into next year. We have changed content to our site, developed a effective metatag approach, and helped us develop an over-arching online strategy.
What was the team composition?
They have a substantial team of subject matter experts. All of which have been professional and attentive. I believe each core area has a leader, which is who interfaces with the client. You also have one official Account Exec, in our case, it's Connor, who has just been amazing to date. Responsive and reliable.
Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?
Huge increases in our SEO rankings, in particular, our trust and citation flow scores have improved significantly in just a few short months.
How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?
Very good. A few hiccups along the way, but overall, we have been very happy at how responsive they have been. They definitely use the motto do what you say you will since I have yet to see a missed deadline or promise go uncompleted.
What did you find most impressive about this company?
Generally, the leaders I have interacted with at SEOPlus have been young professionals, and I find it impressive that they have figured out some real keys to success when it comes to client-facing interaction. Respect, communication, and accountability are all words that come to mind.
For something as modern as SEO, the team's approach feels very traditional. Great company to try if you have had bad experiences elsewhere. Connor, our Account Exec is an exceptional relationship builder.
Are there any areas for improvement?
We have one interaction with a junior member of staff that wasn't ideal. That being said. I escalated to Connor, and he immediately handled it very well. He listened to my concern, immediately took accountability and within a few hours, the issue was resolved.
The junior employee in question even sent a very nice apology note to us, which I thought showed a lot of maturity and responsibility. I don't think there is anything that could have been done differently and in this case, the resolution was above my expectations.

SEO & Google Ads for Party Rentals Supplier

the reviewer
the review
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.
Introduce your business and what you do there.
We are a 35-year-old business renting out party equipment – everything from tents to teaspoons. I came on board almost five years ago as a sales and marketing manager. I oversee everything from customer service to print and digital marketing.
What challenge were you trying to address with seoplus+?
We hired seoplus+ to help us with our digital marketing, specifically SEO and Google Ads.
What was the scope of their involvement?
seoplus+ takes care of our website and our digital marketing. They deliver SEO and Google Ads and fix issues with the site. For example, we made an error recently with our hosting provider, and they took the time to address it.
The website, which is a WordPress site, was completed when we engaged with them, but they’re continuously adding to it and making improvements. Every month, they’ll add new content and made edits to the information that's already on the site.
What is the team composition?
We have a team of 6–7 people working on our account. One person handles all of our content, and she works closely with our SEO specialist. We also have two individuals who focus on Google Ads and additional team members to maintain the website. I communicate directly with Derek (Account Manager, seoplus+) and Amanda (Digital Marketing Manager, seoplus+).
How did you come to work with seoplus+?
I came across Clutch while I was looking for a new digital marketing agency. I called 5–6 of the companies listed, and seoplus+ seemed to be the best. They were honest and straightforward, even in those initial conversations.
How much have you invested with them?
We spend $1,500 per month.
What is the status of this engagement?
We started working with seoplus+ in April 2019. The partnership is ongoing.
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
The website needed a lot of work when we hired seoplus+, and it’s been steadily improving since they started. In terms of the effectiveness of our Google Ads, we’ve had a fantastic year. We’ve seen a 20% increase in calls coming in. The SEO team has also worked efficiently. Increasing the content on the website has definitely helped us move up in the organic ranking.
How did seoplus+ perform from a project management standpoint?
The project management has been excellent, and they respond right away. They’re also specialized; we’ll have multiple experts on an email thread trying to help us address whatever needs to be done. Derek and Amanda oversee everything to make sure each task is completed.
We communicate via phone on occasion, but it’s mostly through email and Google Docs. I’m always checking with them to make sure the site is working and up-to-date. If I ever need to add a picture or another piece of content, they’ll get to it right away.
What did you find most impressive about them?
Their transparent approach sets them apart, even from firms here in Toronto. Their plans are laid out well, and they stand by what they say. I’m sure they have at least a hundred other clients, but I’m still confident that they care about my project. I’ve never felt that way with other providers, and I think that’s so important.
I would get very frustrated with other vendors because I would call them about urgent needs, and they would wait long periods to address them. seoplus+ will resolve an issue within a day. Our entire team is comfortable with them, and it didn’t take long for me to reach that level of rapport. It’s essential, and you can’t put a price on it.
Are there any areas they could improve?
Coming from a situation where I was very unhappy, seoplus+ has been a win-win. I don’t want to jinx it, but I don’t think there is anything that they could improve upon. I would love it if they came to visit us in Toronto!
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
They respond well to honesty; I can tell that it’s important to them. I’ve also had to realize that, as much as I hesitate to let them take ownership, they are the experts. When you’re a small business owner, it’s difficult to give up control. Making the decision to put my trust in them has gone a long way.

the review
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I’m a graphic designer and marketing manager for a tract home builder.
What challenge were you trying to address with seoplus+?
We needed help building up our organic SEO, which we found to be important for our online marketing and consistent brand awareness. I’m not an SEO specialist, so we engaged seoplus+ to help us with that avenue
What was the scope of their involvement?
We started with a small SEO package with seoplus+. We saw an immediate boost to our keywords rankings and our amount of traffic and leads, but our conversion rate wasn’t meeting our goals. We figured out it was our website, which was aesthetically outdated and not very user-friendly for mobile or desktop.
We expanded seoplus+’s scope by having them redesign our site. The new site launched in August 2018. Their team continues to provide organic SEO services and create blog content for us.
What is the team composition?
seoplus+ provides a manager as my main point of contact. For the website project, I worked with a website designer. There’s also a content person when it comes to blogging and keyword targeting, and another person who handles billing.
How did you come to work with seoplus+?
I used to network a lot in the area, so I did meet seoplus+’s owner many, many years ago and was aware of their team. However, for this project, we found them again when our third-party Google Analytics person brought us some options as SEO vendors. We interview each option and then picked seoplus+.
How much have you invested with them?
We’ve spent $40,000 CAD (approximately $30,000 USD).
What is the status of this engagement?
We started working together in November 2016, and the collaboration is ongoing.
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
As I mentioned, we have an independent Google Analytics specialist who double-checks our online marketing and tells us what’s working and not working. I’ve asked him to compare our organic traffic and leads in 2017 versus in 2018.
According to his stats, within one year, our conversion rate grew by 80%. The conversion rate for leads who contacted us through email forms on our website grew by 71 percent. Overall, our keywords rose by 279 spots since November 2016, and we’ve seen 177,000 organic site sessions as a result. We’ve also netted 2,397 organic leads since we started working with seoplus+.
Their team also created a fresh-looking website with great usability. I was a little picky at times, and seoplus+ worked well with me.
How did seoplus+ perform from a project management standpoint?
seoplus+ has done a good job overseeing our account. It’s easy to work with their team. We typically communicate via email, but at the beginning of projects like the website redesign, we had in-office meetings where seoplus+ would give presentations of their plans and we’d discuss them. Whenever I have an issue, I can contact them directly. They’re very responsive.
What did you find most impressive about them?
seoplus+ has nice people to work with. We’ve had quite a few presentations throughout our collaboration, and seoplus+ always gets straight to the point. They never fluff up their decks, which we appreciate.
Are there any areas they could improve?
No, I’m really happy with them. That’s why we’ve worked with seoplus+ for years.
Any advice for potential customers?
Take seoplus+’s advice when it comes to SEO. They know what they're doing.

A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I’m the digital marketing manager at an IT services and consultancy company.
What challenge were you trying to address with seoplus+?
My company didn’t have an in-house developer. We wanted to hire an agency that could help manage our website while also providing marketing services.
What was the scope of their involvement?
seoplus+ is managing and developing our WordPress website. They’re rebuilding different sections of the site and making it as secure and efficient as possible. They’re also providing more technical SEO and keyword research, and they did a small audit for us. seoplus+ is on a thirty-hour monthly retainer, of which they spend about twenty hours on website management and development and the other ten hours on SEO and any small projects we have. Their work varies from day-to-day management to fixed time projects.
We have plans to pursue lead-generation SEO and build more content and web pages. We will also likely engage seoplus+ for PPC projects.
What is the team composition?
We work with an account manager who facilitates conversations. If we have new projects, he connects us with the right team members. Our project manager Amanda (Digital Marketing Manager, seoplus+) handles scheduling and ticketing. She’s also our digital marketing specialist, so she helps us with our longer-term SEO roadmap and our goals and KPIs. Luliia (Lead Web Designer, seoplus+) and Brandon (Web and Graphic Designer, seoplus+) work on the design and development side, and they design wireframes and build out templates.
How did you come to work with seoplus+?
I’ve seen their content over the past several years because Brock (COO and Co-Founder, seoplus+) does guest-posting in high-end marketing publications. We wanted to hire a local company that would manage our site and marketing. seoplus+ was the only agency I could find that would be flexible and work on a variety of smaller-scale projects.
How much have you invested with them?
We’ve spent around $40,000 CAD (approximately $29,600 USD). Over the next year, we’ll probably spend $100,000 CAD (approximately $74,000 USD).
What is the status of this engagement?
Our engagement began in August 2018, and we’ve been working on a monthly retainer since then.
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
The site’s speed and general performance have improved. seoplus+ does excellent across all operational metrics because they complete projects quickly and have fast response times. The work they deliver requires minimal changes, which is refreshing.
How did seoplus+ perform from a project management standpoint?
Everything’s been extremely fast. When we’ve tasked them with redoing big sections of our website, which entails review cycles, design brainstorming sessions, and development, they’ve delivered in less than a month. They begin projects immediately, and our teams work well together. We have a large backlog of ideas, and seoplus+ helps us prioritize them.
What did you find most impressive about them?
Their designers are also developers who understand our vision and act on it. Their wide breadth of knowledge and capabilities means they can help us in everything from SEO to web design. Unlike other agencies and freelancers we’ve worked with, seoplus+’s work requires minimal review cycles. They deliver what we’re asking for in the first iteration, which is phenomenal.
Are there any areas they could improve?
No, I haven’t seen anything.
Any advice for potential customers?
Share your entire roadmap and all of your KPIs with seoplus+, because they offer a wide variety of services and will likely be able to help you in several areas. When I gave them a full picture of what we needed, they helped resolve multiple issues at once.

Please describe your company and your position there.
I’m a real estate agent with RE/MAX Affiliates Geoff & Bobbie McGowan Realty. We’re a leading player in the residential sales space in the Ottawa area.
For what projects/services did your company hire seoplus+?
We wanted to increase our search rankings and improve our digital brand and presence.
What were your goals for this project?
We were ultimately looking to generate a higher volume of quality leads and calls.
How did you select this vendor?
We’d been working with another SEO company for about three years, and we were very disappointed with the results. They promised us a lot, but they failed to deliver on any of it. We decided to find a new SEO partner, so we did quite a bit of online research. The seoplus+ team really stood out for their highly positive reviews. We scheduled an initial meeting with their team, and we were impressed with their energy, knowledge, and professionalism. Overall, they seemed like a perfect fit for our project.
Describe the project in detail.
The seoplus+ team started with an analysis of our website, taking note of our performance in search results. They also conducted some extensive keyword research to help them create unique titles, descriptions, and tags for all of our web pages. After those SEO efforts were in place, their team helped us devise a content strategy for our website, blog, and social media accounts. Currently, seoplus+ is supporting all of those efforts. They routinely analyze our competitors and monitor our search rankings, as well as publish keyword-focused content for us each month.
What was the team composition?
We work with a project manager, a digital coordinator, an account manager, and a content marketing coordinator.
Can you share any statistics or metrics that speak to the quality of their work and impact of the engagement?
We’ve experienced a steady increase in traffic, and our search rankings have improved dramatically. We’re now showing up on the first page for multiple key terms and phrases. Most importantly, we’re receiving much more high-quality leads. We can attribute that directly to the seoplus+ team’s efforts.
How did the seoplus+ perform from a project management standpoint?
The seoplus+ team’s performance in terms of project management is praiseworthy. Our project manager provides us with detailed reports on a regular schedule. He is readily available at all hours to help us with anything related to our account. Moreover, he’s assembled an extremely capable team to support us as well. Everyone at seoplus+ is communicative and accessible.
What impresses you about the seoplus+?
There are three things that set seoplus+ apart from other agencies: the results of their work, their customer service, and their commitment to excellence.
Are there any areas for improvement?
No, I can’t think of anything.
