GadgetsQuick was born from an idea to sell fast moving
consumer electronic goods and toys aimed at people who enjoy
new and innovative products in the most efficient manner
possible. This involved strict back office stock control
and a same day dispatch. It is very much product and customer
focused so that an excellent service can be achieved with
the right level of communication and fast turnaround.
I had heard that Search engine optimization could help
our website and so I visited many forums and asked many
questions, I did some background reading myself as well
as very basic optimization, and identified that it just
was a kind of “black art” which needed real experts to do
well…. and then it hit me if someone was good at SEO they
should have a presence on Google as this was one of my primary
aims. So that is the way I came across eBrandz, they were
relatively high up on Google and seemed consistently up
there with variants of their chosen keywords!
In the UK there were many so called SEO companies which
cold called me previously, I tried a couple of them out
and it was a real disaster as they essentially were scammers
creating doorway pages and using other tricks that search
engines do not like, luckily it did not set me back too
much and decided I that professional service was required
who had done work for reputable companies and had good success
with them. Looking at the eBrandz portfolio and client case
studies it was very impressive. I would say it is one of
the best decisions I have made so far to go with eBrandz.
Initially I was a bit concerned how much time and effort
eBrandz would be able to allocate to my website to make
it Search Engine friendly. But being assured – I was not
let down. Hence I knew that the job will get done in a timely
and efficient manner.
Working with eBrandz team has been a great pleasure. The
work, quality and effort is high class, I get periodic SEO
reports emailed with details of progress and it has really
been great. It has allowed me to concentrate on other development
project for my site such as new image and really complex
cart functions. The team have been responded to questions
in a timely and polite manner addressing my concerns and
giving good advice which has worked well.
I noticed after 3 months an increase in traffic from natural
search listings from a major search engine, as I was near
the top for many of the products I supply. Traffic is still
increasing and have started seeing a large improvement in
rankings across the search engines. This will surely be
very important to me in the coming months. With traffic
comes the enquiries and also the sales. So sales have definitely
increased. Our aim is to offset some of the PPC advertising
with natural listings placement (as is the case with all
internet companies!)
eBrandz has helped us increase business both directly and
indirectly. Directly, traffic in general increased and therefore
people are able to recognize us as a brand now. Indirectly
the sub contracting of the SEO operation has allowed me
to concentrate on the business and also development for
new website features to provide that edge over competition.
It also allows us time to look after our customers which
are most important for us. This is a tough industry and
we are good to adapt to the changes and trusting eBrandz
has allowed us the opportunity to improve as the market
changes in this fast growing sector of internet shopping.
We are also able to compete and in some cases exceed the
service and visibility of much larger companies on the search
engines which remains the key traffic generator for us.
We would definitely vouch for eBrandz as it has been a
very good experience for us and we are happy to spread the
word as necessary.
