Seota has created a great website in a truly short amount of time. They’ve also used every parameter that we’ve asked them to use, so we’re truly happy with their work. Meanwhile, the website only recently launched, so we don’t have any solid quantitative metrics yet.

Anecdotally, Shelby is a great communicator, so we work well together. We communicate throughout the process as we get things done and stay on track.

Please describe your company and your position there.

Gardiner Ray, LLC is a real estate appraisal and consulting firm specializing in valuation assignments and owned by Allen Gardiner, MAI, SRA and David Ray, SRA. My position is Office/Operations Manager. This encompasses accounting, human resources & all office operations.

For what projects/services did your company hire Seota Digital Marketing?

We hired Seota to help us improve our online presence and better represent our brand. We needed a fresh, modern look that would attract prospective business, communicate available services & focus on SEO. We needed a fully functional, mobile optimized, custom built website built on a stable platform, that also allowed for future growth.

What were your goals for this project?

As stated above, our goals were to improve our online presence, better represent our brand, attract prospective business and communicate available services to our target audience. It was also important that the website be user friendly across all platforms.

How did you select this vendor?

We actually interviewed several vendors. We didn't know what we didn't know... so the process was very educational. In the end, Seota understood what our goals were, without overselling things that knew we did not need at this time. Due to time constraints, we also needed a content write. They put us in touch with Jamie and she was FANTASTIC! They were very responsive, and that is extremely important to us!

Describe the project in detail.

Once we selected SEOTA, they worked on design & development, created mockups, we had a 1 or 2 in person meetings & a few video conferences. The website took longer to get up & running then we had hoped, but that was completely on us, as it took us longer to pull information together that we wanted on the site. Jamie did her best to keep us on track!

Our 2 company owners primarily provided the information to Jamie regarding specific content & I reviewed, made suggestions etc. The 3 of us plus Jamie & Bill all worked together.

What was the team composition?

The team was comprised of Bill (owner) & Jamie (content writer) (SEOTA, plus various people on their end) and our 2 company owners Allen Gardiner & David Ray, & myself. The team size remained the same for the duration of the project.

Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

The website just went live a few days ago, but we have already received comments & a few questions about our services, so we are off to a good start!

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

The communication was great. Email worked best for our team, but we had calls & meetings whenever needed. They were very easy to work with and very responsive.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

Bill is a wealth of knowledge with regards to digital marketing. He understood what our goals were and told us how to get there. He has a wonderfully efficient and responsive staff that work for him as well. We are thrilled with the final product!

Are there any areas for improvement?

None that I can think of.

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the Owner & President of a construction company in Frisco, TX. We specialize in photoluminescent emergency evacuation lighting, ADA handrails, and other pedestrian products to guide the visually impaired. We're experts in the applicable compliance codes, and provide consultation in addition to sales and certified installation.

For what projects/services did your company hire Seota Digital Marketing?

I hired Seota to design and develop the first website for our company. We experienced a sudden spike in sales as demand quickly increased for a new market opportunity that is now our business focus. It was clear that our company needed a professionally designed website to describe our services and to establish our brand.

What were your goals for this project?

We wanted a website that appeared high quality and user friendly while also being easily manageable. We didn't want a platform or design so complicated that maintaining it distracted our efforts to grow our business. We also wanted a website that made a solid impression of our brand - one that potential clients would trust.

How did you select this vendor?

I requested references from the entrepreneur education group that I lead. I also researched several options online, and ultimately chose Seota after talking with its owner, Bill Hogsett. I had a very good feeling about working with him from the start. I was happy to learn that Seota focuses so much effort on local small businesses as I have a passion for doing the same in my entrepreneur group.

Describe the project in detail.

The project began with a discussion between Bill, Seota's owner, and me. He later followed up with a questionnaire to help my company determine our goals for the web design and final product. After reviewing our responses, he provided a contract and assigned a team. The team provided 1 mock-up. We provided feedback, and a 2nd mock-up was provided and approved. Our companies were in frequent contact throughout the web development process as my team created and sourced most assets simultaneously.

What was the team composition?

The team consisted of a project manager, lead designer, and another developer or 2. Communication was very streamlined as I prefer. I mainly worked with the owner and lead designer.

Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

The most successful outcome from the project is having a company website that we are proud of. It exceeds our expectations, and is far better than anything that we could have developed on our own. We receive positive comments from both competitors and customers.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

The workflow was incredibly effective and timely. They finished the project on my timeline and could have completed it earlier if we had existing assets. Again, this was the first website for our company. I exchanged emails with the team multiple times per week. Their response time was fast. Seota is very accessible.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

I am most impressed by their genuine desire to be helpful and to position their clients for the best outcomes in our business endeavors. Seota is incredibly knowledgeable, and happy to share expertise to address any questions throughout the project. They push for optimal outcomes. They tackle problems that are even slightly out of project scope - delivering more value than what is required. Their pricing is very reasonable. Seota is a good group of people/experts who have a very personable and professional approach to business.

Are there any areas for improvement?

It would be helpful for Seota to create a content checklist with ideal specs such as recommended image sizes. This could be given to a client at the start of a project so that they can not only get content - but get it in the right format for optimization. Lastly, I suggest a conference to walk clients through the admin tools of a new website just before launch. This will help clients to better help themselves with editing and content additions as our businesses progress.

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the president of ElectraTint.

What challenge were you trying to address with Seota Digital Marketing?

We were looking for the right company because we’ve been going through multiple SEO companies over the last few years. We wanted a company that could help us move forward and eliminate some of the problems we were having, as well as those we didn’t know we were having. 

Before hiring Seota Digital Marketing, everything was falling apart. We had been working with a different company that was neither following through nor doing their work.

What was the scope of their involvement?

Bill (CEO) did my SEO and fixed elements on my e-commerce website that I didn’t even know were problematic. The team also provides analytics.

What is the team composition?

Bill is my main point of contact. 

How did you come to work with Seota Digital Marketing?

I interviewed 15–17 companies after I decided that I wanted to let go of my previous company. Everyone said the right thing, but Bill stood out. I did some research on the websites that he had worked on.

I then asked to meet him in-person, and within three minutes of meeting him, I knew that I wanted to work with him. Before we signed the contract, I gave him access to my website to analyze. 

By that night, he had already gotten into my website and fixed a major problem that I had been asking my two previous vendors to fix. I was so impressed and ecstatic, and I signed with him that night. 

How much have you invested with them?

So far, we’ve spent about $8,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We’ve been working together for about two months, and our engagement is ongoing.

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

I get leads almost daily now, which wasn’t the case before. We’ve already hit our numbers for the year, which is incredible. Bill gives advice where he doesn’t need to. I can’t say enough good things about him. 

Everybody on my team has been impressed with Bill. He does exactly what he says he’s going to do with no complaints. Doing business with Seota Digital Marketing is amazing.

How did Seota Digital Marketing perform from a project management standpoint?

Bill responds incredibly quickly to any emails or phone calls. I’ve never seen anything like it. With other companies, they respond within 24 or 48 hours. With Bill, I haven’t gone a day without something being fixed.

If I send an email because I noticed a word that I didn’t like or because I want to make a change, he responds between 15–20 minutes. His level of communication and execution is incredible. We also have monthly calls where Seota Digital Marketing goes over the analytics with me. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

Their response times and how fast they get work done are impressive. It feels like you truly are the only client working with them.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, there are no areas of improvement.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Look no further. I’ve done business with 6–7 other companies, and they don’t come close to Seota Digital Marketing.

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the owner of Herbal Treasure Chest.

What challenge were you trying to address with Seota Digital Marketing?

I needed help to build a website. In the past, I built sites for other companies but the CBD industry has legal requirements that I was worried about the website fitting.

What was the scope of their involvement?

Seota Digital Marketing developed my WooCommerce website. Once I gave their team the go-ahead, the process was simple. I provided their team with a list of the pages and color schemes I wanted on the platform. To decide which visuals I wanted, they sent me different images to review. Throughout the process, their team offered great ideas. I had a few challenges trying to set up credit card processing services. Once I got approval from the merchant processing services company, I sent all the information to Seota Digital Marketing and their team integrated the capabilities into the website.

What is the team composition?

I had a main point of contact and worked with several different people on their team. 

How did you come to work with Seota Digital Marketing?

I searched Google and interviewed several different companies. When I spoke to the team at Seota Digital marketing, they not only had experience working with CBD companies but also gave me some great ideas.

How much have you invested with them?

The project cost about $3,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

The project only took a few weeks, ending in November 2019. The website was ready before I got approval from the merchant services company.

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

They took what I imagined for the website and brought it to life. I’ve received really good responses to the site. So far, everyone has loved it. The product has been easy to use. There haven’t been any issues navigating or finding the platform and I just got my first sale, which was exciting.

How did Seota Digital Marketing perform from a project management standpoint?

Typically, I made contact with Seota Digital Marketing through email. There were a couple of times when I called somebody and somebody got back to me within a matter of hours. Their team was very responsive. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

Everybody I worked with was professional, helpful, and friendly. Their team was honest with me and gave me great ideas—things I hadn’t thought of myself. Seota Digital Strategy helped me navigate the CBD industry because they had a lot of experience with it.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I can’t think of any. It was a much better process than I thought it would be— I was impressed. I absolutely recommend them

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Stay in touch. If they need something, get it to them quickly.
