BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and position.

I am the Director, Marketing and Growth of a software company 

Describe what your company does in a single sentence.

Our company helps organizations easily add authentication, authorization, and identity management capabilities to their applications using no / low code workflows.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What specific goals or objectives did you hire uSERP to accomplish?

• Increase domain authority
• Improve search rankings for target long-form content pieces

SOLUTION

How did you find uSERP?

Email outreach

Why did you select uSERP over others?

• Pricing fit our budget
• Aligned with our niche use case

How many teammates from uSERP were assigned to this project?

2-5 Employees

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

Our company launched from stealth in Feb 2023 and we wanted to increase our domain authority to yield better results from all our other content and SEO efforts. For our project with uSERP, we picked two domains (home page and one target long-form content piece) with a plan to add 2 backlinks per month for each of the 2 pages.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Our domain authority grew from 13 to 62 in 7-8 months, which is a great pace of improvement. This was due to many factors (media relations, SEO-optimized content, Product Hunt launch, earned backlinks) but the work with uSERP played a key role. The target long-form content piece we chose to add backlinks to also started ranking on the second page. Since this is a very competitive keyword, we were happy with the results.

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

The uSERP team met with our team to kick off the project, set expectations, and describe ongoing modes of communication. They were very responsive over our shared Slack channel, including giving weekly updates, answering any questions in detail (sometimes with video recordings) and communicating any timeline changes.

What was your primary form of communication with uSERP?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

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

We were happy that uSERP offered services that fit our niche use case. We were not looking for an overall content marketing agency (since we already had an agency helping with SEO content). They adapted to our needs, had a clear strategy, and were deliberate and effective in their execution.

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

For the scope of our project, we were very happy with the outputs uSERP provided and no areas of improvement come to mind.

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

I hired Userp.io to build links to two different websites of mine that both publish content online. One has miscellaneous product reviews with some small web apps and the other is a food blog. Overall, I'm really happy with the work they did. They delivered exactly what they said they would and were flexible when I wanted to make some changes midway through the project.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The measurable outcome was building 24 links to my various websites.

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

For direct placements (links where they just emailed a partner site and said "hey could you add this link here or there?") those were all done on time. Link building usually takes a while, and so there were some factors out of their control that delayed a few links from going live. 

Speaking from experience, getting an article published on a website with a busy content calendar can take up to a few months, so although technically our engagement ended at the end of February 2023, there were still a few links that needed to go live in May. They did have the content finished and delivered to the specific sites on time, though.

What was your primary form of communication with uSERP?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

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

Their ability to build links. They have relationships with tons of different websites, which makes it a lot easier for them to get a quick yes or no from a site editor about whether a link can be added or not or a guest post can be published. From doing link-building on my own, I can say with certainty that it's hard and it's way more efficient to work with a company like Userp.

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

No, I liked their work.

What was the size of uSERP’s team?

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

The scope of work was based around SEO holistically, with a focus on content strategy and link building. Deliverables included:

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

They managed our project in a few different ways. We had a Slack integration with them so we could stay in communication daily. They also provided us a tracking dashboard we could always access, and weekly updates, as well as monthly calls to touch base on strategy and next steps.

What was your primary form of communication with uSERP?

• In-Person Meeting
• Virtual Meeting
• Email
• Messaging App

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

We're happy that they focused more on building quality links from good sites, not just from spammy domains or being typical link-building middle-men.

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

I would love for them to give more insights into their process and how they acquire the links, but I understand that is also their secret sauce!

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I'm a Content Specialist managing a deep tech, B2B SaaS product.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire uSERP?

We wanted to get more visibility for our very niche and deeply technical product in the North American market.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

We researched content marketing vendors in the North American market and decided to go with USERP based on their expertise and experience in building authority for online brands.

Describe the project in detail and walk through the stages of the project.

First we identified goals, the most important keywords and pages we had to work on. USERP's team was very quick in understanding a complex, technically challenging topic and came up with excellent recommendations.

How many resources from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

Seven people from USERP's team worked with us altogether, from writers to project managers and senior advisors.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Although we haven't worked together too long due to budget limitations, we saw significant positive movements for our focus keywords and our campaign received a much-needed boost from the high quality links and mentions USERP built.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

USERP is the most organized, agile and lovely team I have ever worked with. So much so that we ended up adding our own customer success team to our Slack channel, so they can learn some best practices from them.

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

uSERP is a testament to the fact that good processes are mission-critical. They knew exactly what they were doing, processes were easy, streamlined, reliable with absolutely no overhead for us.

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

Nothing at all.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I'm the head of growth marketing for a consumer SaaS company that provides internet filtering software to families.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire uSERP, and what were your goals?

As part of a multi-channel growth push, we hired uSERP to improve our domain ranking and increase organic search traffic to our existing library of blog posts.

SOLUTION

How did you select uSERP and what were the deciding factors?

uSERP was referred by another vendor whose recommendation we trust. After interviewing them and a couple other alternatives, we decided to go with them on the basis of the recommendation and their proposed price point.

Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and campaigns.

Our engagement began with a kickoff call where we outlines our goals and discussed strategy. Much of the actual day-to-day work involved placing quality backlinks to improve out domain ranking. uSERP reported on progress weekly, with ad hoc update calls.

How many people from the uSERP team worked with you, and what were their positions?

We worked with four people from their team. Two were senior and helped manage the engagement and set strategy; the other two were junior and provided support and weekly updates.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?

Since beginning the project, our domain ranking has improved significantly. We've seen a significant corresponding increase in organic search traffic to our site. We were very pleased with uSERP's work and felt that we could trust them to delivery results without much oversight.

Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.

Communication was consistent and well-organized, with weekly email updates and a simple dashboard they set up to track their progress on getting new backlinks.

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

They were knowledgable, reliable, highly competent, and trustworthy. Unlike some other SEO agencies I've worked with, I felt right away that they were up to date with modern SEO practices and understood where they fit in to the broader growth needs of the business.

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

I don't have any recommendations at this time.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

We are a web development and marketing agency based out of Calgary, Canada. We develop beautiful and affordable web design projects. I am the owner of Clio Websites and have 3 full time employees.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with the uSERP?

Our website was not getting as much traction from an SEO perspective as we would have liked to see. Our backlink profile was not as high quality as we would have liked.

We wanted to partner with a firm who has the knowledge and access to building high quality backlinks and effectively promoting our website to stand out from the competition.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

uSERP helped us identify high intent pages on our website, did market analysis and suggested other content we could pursue and created a plan to start promoting our content. They also created brand new content for certain competitive keywords that we were missing.

What is the team composition?

uSERP is a full-service marketing agency. We worked with their PM, content, and outreach and link building teams. It was a turnkey solution.

How did you come to work with the uSERP?

We got introduced through their social media presence on LinkedIn and Twitter. uSERP is really good at showcasing their previous work through impressive use cases. This is why we decided to go do an initial discovery call with them.

How much have you invested with them?

We invest several thousand dollars a month with uSERP and will continue to do so.

What is the status of this engagement?

This is an ongoing engagement, and we are working on a monthly basis to create and promote content through high quality backlink acquisition.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Our domain rating has gone up significantly since we started working with uSERP and we are getting higher in the rankings for competitive keywords.

We are almost on the first page for our main keyword which is very competitive.

How did the vendor perform from a project management standpoint?

Their team is very organized and has a great process for working with us on a monthly basis. The are also great at meeting our agreed upon timelines and deadlines.

What did you find most impressive about them?

The quality of the work and deliverables they produce are impressive in the workflow. Their articles are some of the best performing and the quality of backlinks is unlike any other provider that we have worked with in the past.

Are there any areas they could improve?

Pricing is on a higher end but you get what you pay for. To get good content and quality links it takes a lot of effort which is reflected in the price.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

VP of Growth at a content marketing agency. We produce high-quality, search-optimized content for some of the web's biggest and most successful brands.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

We've used uSERP many times to help our clients rank their most competitive blog content and website pages. Our goals are to increase client domain authority/ranking and drive traffic through first-page ranking positions.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

uSERP excels for a number of reasons, but the two that stand out to us are the quality of the links themselves (links from 60+ DR domains) and the high quality of the content created which links back to our client's sites and stays evergreen.

Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and campaigns.

We work closely with uSERP to recommend URLs that need the push from external links. They coordinate outreach, content creation and reporting for our clients on results.

How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

We work primarily with uSERP's excellent account managers.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?

We've seen domain ranking increases across the board, on all clients we've worked with uSERP with. We've also seen hundreds of rank increases on content linked to with a uSERP campaign.

Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.

Everything is coordinated smoothly within project management tools, and communication is quick and timely via email and Slack.

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

Again, the high quality of the links they build.

Nope. They are excellent across the board.
