Summit handles our keyword rankings, our SEM, shows us our trends month over month, year over year, our website traffic, impressions and conversions, our google business profile, backlinks to blogs and other related online media, and we have a montly call to go over our progress, and if we have any concerns.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

This is an ongoing project that has shown a great success. We had a previous company that was doing nothing but taking our money. When Summit Scout came in, we had success in just the first few weeks, and are gaining more and more customers everyday.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

Our account management is 5 star! Working with Micheal has been a real treat. He always starts our monthly meetings asking how business is going, if there have been any changes that have been implemented on our end that he needs to know about, and then we get into our results for the last 30 days. As much as I hate meetings, it has been great to get to chat with Micheal for about 30-60 minutes once a month to discuss how things in the background are going. 

What was your primary form of communication with Summit Scout?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

We enjoy the once a month meetings, seeing our website on the first page of google, seeing the progress we have made. After having a company that just came in and scooped up our money but not showing any results, it's a relief to know that our online marketing is in safe and capable hands.

Are there any areas for improvement or something Summit Scout could have done differently?

No, as of right now, we are 100% happy with the way Summit Scout is handling our account, and we look forward to continuing our working relationship in 2025!
