Wild Creek Web Studio

Please describe your company and your position there.

We are a leading multi national company offering safety training solutions for over two decades. I am responsible for driving the company's marketing efforts in South Asia and South East Asia.

For what projects/services did your company hire Wild Creek Web Studio, and what were your goals?

We decided to develop a website from scratch specifically for a new service that we are developing. It was crucial for us to make sure that new service was developed as a separate brand with subtle links to parent company.

We wanted the website to be developed on a short time period to meet some regulatory requirements. We also required fresh/outsiders perspective in developing the website.

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

Even though we had not had an opportunity to engage with Wild Creek Web Studio in the past, we have had a close working relationship and have been following their work. When we reached our to them, they were able to come up with a comprehensive and economical plan to address our issues.

They also shared with us the future actions we would have to take following the website development. This gave us confidence and was a major deciding factor.

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

The scope of work was to deliver a responsive Custom designed WordPress Website that was SEO optimized and had third-party integrations for automation, email marketing, chat bot etc. There was a Pre-Proposal feasibility evaluation followed by audit of digital assets and Competitor analysis. There was an open discussion to understand our design requirements and a few different design options were provided.

After finalizing the design, the content was shared and the website building began in earnest. The project was delivered within the desired timeline and included all the various elements we had requested including embeded video, forms, etc. Despite a major change on brand guidelines and frequent content changes, our requests were received gracefully and promptly integrated into the website.

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

We had a single point of contact - the Head - Operations who worked with us throughout the project.

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

We have not started aggressive promotion of the website as the service is in development stage. However, we have already received a decent number of form submissions without having done any offline SEO optimization or paid ads

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

We had regular planned meeting via Google Meets and had a single point of contact through out the project. We did not at any stage have to wait for clarifications from the backend team or request a meeting with them to clarify our message. This is definitely a testament to the technical knowledge of communication of the Wild Creek team.

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

Professional, straightforward, punctual, creative and most importantly solution providers. They have very good idea on what is required for the client and can convey clearly how we can achieve it efficiently and economically.

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

None from our experience so far.

GoFloaters is a marketplace that provides distributed teams with work and meeting spaces on a pay-per-use model. I am the founder and CEO of GoFloaters.

For what projects/services did your company hire Wild Creek Web Studio, and what were your goals?

We were betting big on SEO to be the primary growth driver. We tried to do this internally but could not improve it beyond a certain level. We had also launched in new cities and wanted to improve our local search results. This is why we were looking out for an SEO agency or consultant to come in and help us. The goals were to improve our SEO based organic traffic in existing and new cities.

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

Me and Praveen (founder of Wild Creek Web Studio) are from the same city. I have met Praveen at a few events. Being a part of the same entrepreneurship ecosystem, I got to hear a lot of good things about Praveen. Our previous attempts to outsource SEO activity to agencies had failed miserably. I very worried about trusting an unknown agency and betting once again.

Praveen came across as a trustworthy person and in the initial calls he clearly articulated what he can do and what he cannot. He was transparent and open. He also had a lot of real-world examples to quote on the work that he had done for his own websites and his client's websites. Praveen also did his homework on our website and made a lot of critical suggestions in our first call with him.

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

The scope of work for Wild Creek Web Studio as an SEO Consultant were:

1. To perform a site audit and provide recommendations.
2. To look at our competition and benchmark GoFloaters against them.
3. To look at our content and provide opportunities to improve them.
4. To provide us with a weekly update on how we were doing on SEO and what we could improve upon.

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

We primarily worked with Praveen, the founder of Wild Creek Web Studio.

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

Our SERPs for the primary keywords started to improve in 2 months time. The Click Through Rates also improved drastically. We started to appear on search results for the new cities that we had launched in. Apart from SEO recommendations, Praveen also gave us a lot of insights on how we can do Social Media campaigns and posts. Our quality of posts and engagement of the posts have also increased based on the suggestions from Praveen.

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

We have set up a weekly cadence with Praveen. Praveen never misses these calls. He is probably the first person to join the meeting. Praveen is well prepared for the call and has specific observations and action items to discuss.

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

Praveen came across as a very knowledgeable person in SEO. He also came across as a transparent consultant with a single thought of helping us. The recommendations he made were practical and were neither aggressive or conservative. He understands our team's strengths, providing recommendations to ensure the best results. Praveen also went out of the way to help us on Social Media and parts of branding when the engagement was only around SEO.

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

I am unable to think of any right now.

We hired WCWS to build a shopify site for us from scratch and customise it as per our preferences.

I happened to come across a friend's apparel website and liked how neat it looked. She then referred me to Praveen. I wanted a clean, attractive and easy to navigate website.

Please describe your company and your position there.

I'm a health transformation consultant and I specialize in helping people stay health through nutrition and I do this through my company called Awesome Chef (www.awesomechef.in). I am the Chief consultant for my company.

For what projects/services did your company hire Wild Creek Web Studio?

I had recently made huge changes to my business model and building a strong online presence was a part of my strategies. I am not a technical person and therefore needed someone who is not just a tech expert, but also be able to understand what I want to do from a lay-person perspective.

In short - I needed a consultant who would know exactly what type of website would work for me and how it needs to be positioned in order to get the results I aspired to.

What were your goals for this project?

I wanted a website that was simple and easy to update. I also wanted to increase the number of enquiries and reach through a contact form. I wanted to build my personal brand.

How did you select Wild Creek Web Studio?

I had previously worked with Praveen on another project where he was in charge of the entire Digital Strategy end-to-end. That project turned out to be extremely successful digitally. I also found him easy to interact and have the ability to understand what exactly the client requires.

What also sets him apart was that he does not use too much technical jargon when conversing. What also helped was that Praveen doesn't mind called a spade a spade, albeit politely. This attitude helped me to set expectations and know exactly what I was getting into.

Describe the project in detail.

Once I had decided upon Wild Creek, Praveen and I had a few calls to understand my requirement in detail. I was able to convey what I needed and how I needed to along with my aspirations.

Within a couple of weeks of discussions, his team was able to provide me with 3 sample designs that I was happy with. Once I had finalized the design, we went ahead with building the website. The website design was completed within the time-frame agreed upon.

What was the team composition?

Wild Creek is backed by a solid team that can create beautiful, eye-catchy designs and convert them into beautiful websites.

Praveen proved to be a consultant who gave me plenty suggestions for designing my site. It was not an engagement where someone would just execute something for the sake of doing it.

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

Within 1 week of my website launch, I was able to get 10 enquiries. 75% of these enquiries were legitimate and I was able to convert them into paying clients. The website is beautiful.

When I sent it to a bunch of people before launch, EVERYONE commented on how awesome the website was - crisp design and content. I'm extremely happy and have no qualms about the investment I have made. It has already given me the ROI I expected.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

The timelines were adhered to and the team is a highly professional one. Praveen was gracious enough to accommodate the multiple add-ins and requirements I wanted, without any complaint.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

Strengths:

• Highly passionate about their work
• Knows exactly what they are talking about
• Thoroughly understands the client perspective
• Market expert and knows the current trends, what works and what doesn't.
• Have the client benefits at heart.
• Impeccable morals.

Are there any areas for improvement?

I am extremely happy with my outcome and have received more than what I expected.

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the co-founder of Skillsgurucool, a leadership skills company. We use the power of training and facilitation to help organizations, educational institutions, individuals, and children unleash their best potential.

We specialize in designing and delivering high impact comprehensive learning interventions. We blend the best and latest tools of scientific research along with insights from various learning fields like behavioral science, management, neuroscience, physics and others to drive breakthrough results.

What challenge were you trying to address with Wild Creek Web Studio?

I hired Wild Creek Web Studio to provide social media management support. We wanted to generate quality leads for our business.

What was the scope of their involvement?

Wild Creek Web Studio builds my creatives and handles my Facebook Ads, Google Ads, and ads for Instagram and LinkedIn. Praveen (Founder, Wild Creek Web Studio) works on my digital marketing strategy and places our ads on the appropriate platforms.

For example, my retreat is for people who want to learn about business, leadership, and travel. For Facebook, he posts in the relevant travel groups to spark interest. Apart from that, he produces sponsored ads for us and works on the creative. The process for those efforts starts with identifying the demographics, geography, etc. Praveen also handles our PPC efforts and bases his efforts around our budget.  

What is the team composition?

I work primarily with Praveen (Founder, Wild Creek Web Studio). 

How did you come to work with Wild Creek Web Studio?

We found their team through Facebook. I posted about a challenge I was facing and Praveen reached out to help. That was our first engagement and it was very fruitful, so I hired them for social media management. 

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent $7,000.  

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in September 2018 and the engagement is ongoing.

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

Before, I had to spend a lot of my own time on the efforts and found it difficult to earn leads. We’re now generating leads and receiving a lot of sign-ups. For example, for one retreat, we earned around 180 leads after a month-long campaign, and between 50%–60% of the leads are worth pursuing. 

How did Wild Creek Web Studio perform from a project management standpoint?

I haven’t had any challenges with their project management approach so far. Based on impressions or clicks, Praveen sends us an invoice so that part of the process is smooth. We communicate via email but can set up phone calls, if needed.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They really understand what we want and provide a tailor-made solution. Their team doesn't use a simple algorithm that follows the same steps for everyone. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, there’s nothing they can improve on.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Be clear on what outcome you expect. If you share it with Praveen, he’s good enough to help you build the strategy.
