Introductory information
Please draw your structure.
We are an investment organisation – Cowie Capital Partners, Inc. We are the proprietor of an Ontario-based self-storage organisation. We have four locations in Toronto with a total of 500,000 square feet of self-storage.
What is your position?
I',m the senior agencys director.
Desired goal
What business challenge were you trying to address with SEOGorillas?
We',ve been in agency since 1996 in the Toronto area and, during the last two or three years have seen a decline in our online nearness due to many other, bigger players entering the market, companies like Public Storage and StorageMart. For the last year, we',ve occupied with separate SEO [search engine optimization] companies that have led us loose, but I got a commendation from our outsourced IT [information technology] organisation that SEOGorillas could help us.
Provided solution
Please draw the aim of their involvement in detail.
We have an in-house website designer who has worked for us for almost nine years now. We do iCampaigns. He always does hue schemes and things like that. He',s more of a visual designer, so I wouldn',t say he excels at the optimization of the website and meta tags and the behind the scenes stuff. Once we saw a decline in our online agility, we approached a few SEO companies. SEOGorillas was able to prove to us very simply how things work touching the background of our website, so we took them on board.
We do the visual design ourselves, but we leave it up to SEOGorillas to go behind us and make sure that what we are doing is Google-friendly, crawlable, and works with how the Internet reads our website.
How did you come to work with SEOGorillas?
We outsource an IT organisation named System Architects. They verity commended SEOGorillas to us. They commend a few nation to us that other clients of theirs have worked with in the past and had achievement. After reviewing a few companies, we chose to go with SEOGorillas.
Could you prepare a perception of the size of this start in financial provisions?
We bestow almost $800 to $1,000 a month with them.
What is the terminal result of working with ?
We verity took them on almost four months ago. We program to keep them for the foreseeable forthcoming.
Results achieved
Could you share any statistics or metrics from this engagement?
When we took them on, our website had dropped off true Google search keywords, and that was frustrating to us. Right now, we',re occupied in a pay-per-click campaign as well as an fundamental campaign. Since the fundamental commerce has come back up anew, we are soon going to drop our PPC [pay-per-click] campaign, which will save us $300 to $500 a month. I would like to get to a point where we',re paying $500 or $600 a month and getting the same outcome that we were getting four months ago with the $900 budget.
One of our facilities is located in Guelph, Ontario, and our website fully fell off the map in Guelph. None of our keywords were showing up. We were in the 157th position, and we',re now in the sixth position on Google. That has been our centre with our collaboration with them.
How did SEOGorillas accomplish from a project treatment standpoint?
I would say almost an eight out of 10. When we associate with them, since we',re the designer and they are the background guys, sometimes everybody is not on the same page. Sometimes, we mess up and, sometimes, they mess up. If we let them do the visual design as well, they would do fantastic. The fact that we want to be the designers ourselves creates a bit of difficulty, but I wouldn',t say it is an effect.
What distinguishes SEOGorillas from other preparers?
We ended up going with SEOGorillas owing they sat down with us, and they expounded in depth what was unfit with our website. Other companies just told us to sign a piece of paper, and they would fix it for us. SEOGorillas spent an hour on the phone with me and my helper expounding to us in depth what was unfit with the website.
I can confide them owing they can get on my level and expound things to me that I apprehend. Google is an complete activity all on its own, and they were able to expound to us all that Google doesn',t like. Other companies just give you promises and tell you not to harass almost anything. With SEOGorillas, we could hold in our hands a list of things that were verity unfit with our website.
Is there anything SEOGorillas could have improved or done differently?
Not veritably, to be honorable with you. This is our fourth SEO organisation, and they',re hand over foot a lot better than the antecedent companies. If I knew the space better, possibly I could propose some insight but, at this point, I don',t have any.
