SmartClick - Web and SEO Agency

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the CEO of a Branding agency in Melbourne, Australia. Our company's focus is set on providing branding solutions to growing companies. We want to increase our clients' brand awareness by offering visuals and strategy that develops their brand and differentiates them on the market.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire SmartClick - SEO and Web Agency?

As a branding company, we were receiving lots of requests by our clients to improve their online visibility as well and come up with an SEO strategy that will bring the clients to the top of SERP as well as help this organic traffic convert and bring money.

We didn't offer SEO services, so starting a collaboration with SmartClick has brought us lots of success. They helped us provide a full package to our clients by partnering with us.

What were your goals for this project?

We wanted to be able to offer a full package of services to our clients – branding services and SEO services as well. We were looking to create a fantastic experience for our clientele, so it was very important to us that our SEO partner will be a team that will deliver as expected.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

Having previous knowledge of the skills and the work the CEO of Smartclick and his team have done in the past, I was sure they were going to be the best fit for us.

Also, their current track of record was another reason why my team and I decided to collaborate with them. Their SEO results in the eCommerce niche were remarkable, so we were delighted to have the skills and knowledge part of our business story.

Describe the scope of their work in detail.

Once we made a deal to collaborate, we discussed the necessity and urgency of our projects about which we needed SmartClick and established how the team could be an asset.

We focused on creating a concrete and concise strategic plan that comprises of SEO expectations, goals, deliveries, and deadlines that will work best for our clients. Then, they took over the SEO requests and worked on the improvement of the clients' rankings, online visibility, and together with our set of branding services, we managed to create a vivid and engaging online appearance of the clients.

We worked within deadlines, and SmartClik made sure that all the tasks and activities were completed before the deadline, something which is particularly rare in the business nowadays. The flawless communication, the smooth streamlines workflow, and the results they achieved were more than great.

What was the team composition?

I worked with the CEO, who is also the project manager of the team, and under his management, all the members of his team operated. His team members were also open to communicating with us directly, had there had been a necessity for that.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Yes, our collaboration brought terrific results for our clients. Brand awareness was significantly improved, there was a lot more organic traffic to the websites, the social media presence was strengthened, and the leads converted three times more than previously.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

As I mentioned before, we hand an amazing communication, no misunderstandings, and no discrepancies. We used a work management system that kept us alert of the tasks' deadlines, and everyone managed to finish their projects in time successfully.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

I really admired the way they stay true to their mission and business goals. They make sure they deliver the promised results, and if a problem pops up, they immediately find solutions on how to get rid of it by minimalizing the damage. Also, their creativity and resourcefulness is a whole another level.

Are there any areas for improvement?

Of course everything can always be done better; however, the results from our collaboration were excellent, and all our clients were satisfied, so I guess what they do genuinely works. Perhaps there is room for growth in terms of dealing with several big projects at the same time, but this doesn't limit their capabilities; on the contrary, challenges them even more.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the head of UX design at a fintech firm.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with SmartClick – Digital Marketing and Web Development Agency?

My company has a very complex platform that sends lots of emails daily. Our email templates were outdated and contained too much technical language. We hired SmartClick to overhaul our email system.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

SmartClick recoded and restructured our email system by integrating systems like SendGrid. They made sure that these integrations were ready for our team to link with the backend. They have also built 50–60 new email templates.

Although the main project has been updating our email system, SmartClick has contributed to some frontend tasks. My team only has a few developers, so they fill in when necessary. They worked on our WordPress blog.

What is the team composition?

We’ve only worked with Milan (CEO, SmartClick – Digital Marketing and Web Development Agency).

How did you come to work with SmartClick – Digital Marketing and Web Development Agency?

We found them on Toptal, a site for finding top talent in different fields.

How much have you invested with them?

My company has spent between $5,000–$10,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We began working together in October 2018, and the partnership is ongoing. Although we haven’t done much work with them recently, we’ll probably need to engage them again soon.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We’ve definitely seen an improvement in our emails, which are well-tested and robust. More users are reading our emails and clicking through them while fewer are unsubscribing from them, and we attribute this to the new emails that SmartClick created for us.

How did SmartClick – Digital Marketing and Web Development Agency perform from a project management standpoint?

My team handles the project management for the design and development work. We delegate, and then SmartClick delivers to a LIT folder or Google Drive. They’re easy to work with and flexible. SmartClick delivers work quickly and efficiently; in fact, deliverables are often ready before we expect them. They’re based in Macedonia, so they usually have things ready for us at the start of our workday. We communicate via email.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Their adaptability is what differentiates them. SmartClick is capable of moving between the email and WordPress blog projects. Email is a difficult area because technologies are often very archaic and require various hacks and workarounds. When we send them a problem, they find a way to fix it.

Are there any areas they could improve?

Sometimes their work isn’t perfect the first time around and requires multiple rounds of feedback. However, this is normal because it’s hard to get your point fully across when you’re working remotely.

Any advice for potential customers?

Throw some challenges at them; they’re a powerhouse.
