The Review
Feedback summary: 

The solution has already begun converting new clients and resulting in revenue. The team excels at quickly delivering high-quality solutions. They were consistently helpful, easy to work with, professional, and responsive.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the operating partner of Select Influencer, an internet marketing services platform. We mainly assist influencers with growing their following and engagement on Instagram.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Solo Media Group?

We needed them to develop our site and provide consulting along the way. We now use Solo for all web development projects.

What were your goals for this project?

The initial project was to build the site and then iterate based on customer use cases. It needed to be user-friendly, and functional and responsive across all devices.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

We went through about 50 applicants and narrowed it down based on conversations and portfolios. Jon (CEO, Solo Media Group) stood out because he always made himself available and communicated clearly.

Describe the project in detail.

They built a SaaS website including a client portal.

What was the team composition?

I only have to speak with Jon (CEO, Solo Media Group), who relays the message and goals to his team.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Visitors to the site are converting, resulting in new business and revenue.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

Everything was very smooth. We never needed to go back and forth with them; they get the job done exactly how we requested or, sometimes, even better than how we explained it. They stick to deadlines and communicate when needed. They were available via phone or messaging and are accommodating to what type of communication we preferred. Half of the team works while we sleep which confirms that the project is being worked on around the clock until completed.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

They have a good business model. They can quickly, successfully, and consistently deliver quality work. They're also very professional; we felt very comfortable giving them constructive criticism along the way.

Are there any areas for improvement?

I have not found any yet.

We were looking for a company to redesign our website and add new features.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I can't think of anything.

Feedback summary: 

The finished solution totally satisfied the customer. Solo Media Group took the time to not only fix errors, but also clearly outline their process and vastly expand the website's capabilities. The team's clear explanations, reliable deliveries, and hard work set them apart. 

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I work for a marketing agency that specializes in inbound campaigns, brand content, design, and development. I'm the project and program manager who's responsible for every project lifecycle.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Solo Media Group ?

We hired Solo Media Group to develop, design, and improve an e-commerce site.

What were your goals for this project?

We wanted to resolve errors that our previous developer had made on the backend, address design and functionality concerns, and launch an attractive and smooth e-commerce site by the 2018 holidays.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

We connected on Upwork for another e-commerce project. I knew from our earlier experience that they would be a great choice for this project. 

Can you go into detail about the services they provided and the scope of the project?

Solo Media Group entered on the third milestone, when the project was failing. They solved a poorly coded Magento 2 backend; fixed the site's responsiveness, aesthetic appeal, and check-out ability; edited API integrations with Instagram and mapping applications; and revised many more functionalities according to the client's requests.

The team also provided training videos so we could continuously improve and teach the client about administrative responsibilities.

What was the team composition?

The team leader coordinated with his developer, who worked directly with us to improve efficiency and understanding. We also had a designer and project manager.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any information that demonstrates the impact that this project has had on your business?

The team took more time than requested to truly clean up the backend, hold several meetings, and complete additional revisions. This immediately satisfied our concerns about their abilities. They provided so much detail that we could easily explain their progress to the client and give an accurate delivery timeline for each task.

How was project management arranged and how effective was it?

They communicated exactly what happened behind the scenes through video calls, email, Excel spreadsheets, and shared Google documents. The team lead did an amazing job, offering consistent and coherent updates. They budgeted, communicated, and followed up well. 

What did you find most impressive about this company?

I was impressed by their responsiveness, honest communication, and great work ethic. They did their best work for us and our client.

Are there any areas where they can improve?

They could communicate directly with the client if that would improve the project.

The Review
Feedback summary: 

Since Solo Media Group’s involvement, the volume of orders has noticeably increased, and they’ve secured first-page rankings for all keywords. The team is capable of tackling large projects while still remaining responsive and transparent. They’re true to their word and consistently deliver results.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m a partner at a New York-based retail store called Altman Luggage. Since 1920, we’ve sold luggage and fine writing instruments from a number of well-known brands.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Solo Media Group?

We’d worked with several digital marketing agencies in the past, and they always failed to deliver as expected. At the time, we were having a lot of problems with our website, so we needed resources to redo our site and take over all of our digital marketing.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Initially, they designed and developed a new website using Magento 1.9 and migrated content from our previous site. The new, user-friendly site allowed us to add products, change them, and upgrade the platform quickly without having to do additional coding.

Since then, they’ve led our SEO and social media campaigns. They publish content every week on all of our accounts, including Facebook and Instagram. Whenever there’s a problem with our ads, they take care of it right away.

What is the team composition?

We’ve worked with their team for about a year and a half, now, and they've provided all the tools we need to be successful.

How did you come to work with Solo Media Group?

We knew a company that had worked with Solo Media Group before. They were satisfied with the way their site looked and recommended them to us.

How much have you invested with them?

We spend about $60,000 per year.

What is the status of this engagement?

The site build and migration lasted from February–May 2017, but they still provide ongoing support and digital marketing management.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Compared to before, our orders have gone up by about 20%–30% and the business has increased by 30%, too. In terms of digital marketing, they’ve boosted our search rankings for our relevant brands. Our previous providers could only get us to the second or third pages, but Solo Media Group pushed us to the first.

How did Solo Media Group perform from a project management standpoint?

They’re excellent to work with and always keep us up to date. Although we gave them a big task to work on, they were able to finish the project before schedule. We mainly communicate through email, phone, and text. If there’s an issue that needs to be fixed right away, I usually give them a call.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They respond to our needs, communicate in a timely manner, and deliver as promised. Performance is everything. If they say they’ll do something, they’ll do it. Additionally, if we ever have any issues, even if it’s out of their scope, they always try to help us.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Just take them for their word. If they promise something, they’ll deliver.
