Our company runs two websites, ABCFavors.com
and OneBlushingBride.com. Both of these websites offer personalized
party favors, games, game prizes and party tableware. I’ve
known about SEO from reading many documents online about
how to increase traffic and sales. We thought that SEO would
help us since we only offer our products online and most
people would be searching for our products through the search
engines.
I actually searched for an SEO company in the simplest way…and
the only way that made sense for this type of work. I did
a search on Google. I figured that only the best of the
best would be up toward the top of the searches since that
is their specialty. That is how I found eBrandz.
There are a few reasons why I chose eBrandz over other
SEO companies.
1. I basically narrowed my search down to the most reasonably
priced companies. I knew enough not to go for the super-cheap
companies that “promised” to get you to the top two of three
within a certain amount of time. I’ve been in the web business
long enough to know that you can’t make a promise like that.
eBrandz presented themselves in a way that didn’t promise
the world, but let me know that they would work hard to
get results.
2. I then went to their testimonials section and read about
a few of the companies they had helped. I did Google searches
for each of these websites and they came up at the top.
3. They would not work with a competitor of a current client.
When I wrote in to eBrandz they wanted to know what type
of company we were since they don’t work with competing
companies. This really showed their integrity and loyalty
to their existing customers and I was very impressed.
4. At the time that I was searching for an SEO company
to work with, I was switching our entire baby favors website
over to a new shopping cart. It was a big project and I
wasn’t sure if we should begin the SEO simultaneously or
wait until the transfer was complete before beginning the
SEO project. I wrote into my top two SEO choices and asked
them what would be the best route…start now or wait until
the transfer was complete? I had a feeling that we should
wait until the website was completely transferred over to
the new shopping cart since all of the pages would change
and it would seem that the work the SEO company would do
would have to be re-done. Anyway, “Company X” said “sure
we can start now – it won’t make any difference”, while
eBrandz suggested that I hold off on the SEO project until
the transfer was complete. This showed me that eBrandz wasn’t
just trying to “get the sale”. They could have lied and
said that it wouldn’t matter when the SEO project began
and had us pay for three months of work that wouldn’t help
us in the end. Overall, their answer to this one question,
along with reasonable rates and quick customer response
helped me in making my decision.
I was just concerned with how we would pay since it was
out of the country at that time. Also, I wasn’t sure how
clear the communication would be and if there would be a
language barrier. It turns out that making payments is easy
and the communication is outstanding. I get answers back
from my emails faster with eBrandz than any company I have
dealt with.
I felt very “taken care of”. The team is outstanding and
would answer my questions completely and would encourage
any questions we had. eBrandz has a wonderful team!
We began seeing increases in our traffic and sales within
the first two months. We hadn’t been anywhere in the first
30 pages of Google under our top term “baby shower favors”.
After three months, we were on page six. Now, we are on
page one! We are number one on MSN and rate high in Yahoo
as well.
The work that eBrandz has done for us has increased our
business tremendously. It has also helped us to decrease
advertising costs. The cost of working with eBrandz is definitely
worth it when you take into account all of the advertising
dollars that we have saved. We’ve seen such wonderful results
with ABCFavors.com, that we have just recently signed our
bridal showers website, OneBlushingBride.com, with eBrandz.
I would definitely recommend eBrandz to companies looking
to increase the traffic. I wouldn’t work with anyone else.
eBrandz has given us results beyond what we hoped for. They
are a very knowledgeable, timely, and trustworthy company
to work with. They really care about our business and want
it to see us succeed.
