KlientBoost

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

VP of a consumer product company that experienced incredibly rapid growth during 2020 (about 8x). Due to the growth, we we were stressed, too busy, and needing a lot of help.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire KlientBoost?

They helped us create and launch our facebook and google ad campaigns, develop landing pages, and troubleshoot some complex regulatory issues.

What were your goals for this project?

Establish a strong ROAS of 4+

SOLUTION

How did you select KlientBoost?

Extensive research and vetting on sites like this. They had incredibly solid reviews and as I like to see, practiced what they preach. Ultimately though, it was their business systems, clear communication, and upfront contract that sold me over a competitor that I'd originally been leaning towards.

Describe the scope of their work in detail.

Monthly retainer plus percentage of ad spend. They launched our ad accounts, built out the custom audiences, landing pages, and ads. Part of the challenge was that we were selling a legitimately germicidal product during a time where the ad platforms were restricting similar products.

What was the team composition?

While I worked with a lot of their team, the vast majority of communication was through our stellar account manager (Kyle). We had short weekly calls during the first few months of our engagement which fit my extremely busy schedule perfectly and helped prevent things from falling behind schedule.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Achieved upwards of 13 ROAS during the Christmas season, and averaged around 5-6 during the slower parts of the year. Overcame the initial challenges with account creation during a volatile time

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

Perhaps the thing I appreciated most about Klientboost, aside from the people, was the strong communication system in place to insure that everyone was on the same page and things were transparent.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

Similar to the previous comment, it was the strong policies and communication steps that Klientboost has built into their culture. These fostered strong working relationships that helped us succeed.

Are there any areas for improvement?

I know they're working on this now, but we'd like to have seen a greater marriage between ad management and content creation. Ultimately the bottleneck for our growth was our lack of content.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I work for a national viatical settlement company. Our company assists individuals with life-threatening illnesses with selling their life insurance policy. I'm the Marketing Director and I manage all of our marketing initiatives and our implementation partners.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire KlientBoost?

We hired KlientBoost to manage our paid social campaigns. We were having issues with generating leads via our social media platforms internally.

What were your goals for this project?

We wanted to generate more qualified leads from our social platforms.

SOLUTION

How did you select KlientBoost?

I used Clutch.co to identify the top social media agencies. I looked at KlientBoost's reviews and website to see if their experience aligned with our needs. We spoke to them and a few other vendors before selecting KlientBoost.

They seemed dialed-in to the latest social trends while also leveraging data and targeting to meet client needs. They seemed very results-oriented.

Describe the scope of their work in detail.

Initially, we had a discovery meeting to determine our paid social needs. We allowed access to our Facebook and Instagram business accounts so KlientBoost could access past campaign metrics and determine where we could benefit from their services.

From there, our team members were identified and we provided them with our goals and brand guidelines. KlientBoost put together a lead gen campaign with a dedicated landing page, creative assets, and set targeting/budget.

What was the team composition?

We worked with a sales rep, a team director, a designer, and an account manager. Now we primarily work with our account manager and occasionally with the designer.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Since working with KlientBoost, we have increased our overall lead volume and qualified lead volume from social tremendously. Our engagement on social has also dramatically increased.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

The workflow between KlientBoost and our company has been pretty seamless.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

The most impressive thing about KlientBoost is their industry experience, their streamlined processes, and their desire to constantly test and try new initiatives.

Are there any areas for improvement?

So far, we've had a really good experience working with KlientBoost and don't have any feedback in regards to room for improvement.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the Digital Supervisor for a utilities company. We service a wide range of customers and I oversee all digital marketing efforts for the company.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

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

We hired KlientBoost for their Google PPC Ad and Conversion Optimization services. Our goals were to expand and dial in our PPC efforts, and also to drive down our cost per acquisition.

SOLUTION

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

KlientBoost had a plethora of positive online reviews and testimonials. They also had a number of videos online that spoke to some of the intricacies they take into account in their processes. In addition, we held a thorough introductory call with one of their senior strategists which we found very beneficial. All of these things helped make KlientBoost the clear choice for us.

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

KlientBoost helped us dissect our existing campaigns and determine what was working, what was not, and what new strategies needed to be implemented to get us to our goals. On top of the overhaul of our ads, KB was instrumental in introducing the value of landing pages to our company.

They were able to marry our complicated form forwarding process with a beautiful landing page that has been converting like crazy.

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

We regularly work with an Account Manager, PPC Strategist, Conversion Designer.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

All of our campaign metrics have improved dramatically since making the switch to KB. We believe this to be due to a combination of KB's efforts on our campaigns and the addition of landing their pages to our PPC strategy.

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

Most direct communication is with our Account Manager. She is very knowledgeable, helpful, and organized. We have a weekly scheduled call in which we review ongoing test, current metrics, and action items. We also communicate via email throughout the week if any more immediate needs arise. Responses are always timely, and project timelines are always reasonable.

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

KB gives you an organized team that works together with a keen focus on driving results and exceeding expectations.

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

I cannot think of anything I would have them do differently.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

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

We hired KlientBoost to help us set the foundation for our paid efforts, in particular in the SEM and PPC space. Our goals were to work with them to learn about our opportunities and set the basis for our future paid growth.

SOLUTION

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

We looked at which firms had the best reviews, those that came highly recommended, and those that took the time to get to know our business and goals.

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

We were in the beginning stages of looking into SEM and PPC, and they helped us create our strategy, do keyword research, and set up the end to end process our ads would then follow.

They worked closely with our team to develop a paid marketing strategy that worked with our budget and matched our designs to their landing pages. Our account manager checked in with us at a minimum once a week to let us know of our progress and even created custom dashboards so we could follow along.

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

The assigned an account manager, a designer, a copywriter, and a few extra people based on our needs. The account manager was our most common point of contact.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Since working with them, we've been able to establish our base foundation for paid acquisition and have worked to improve our conversion month over month. We've gone from 0 paid leads to over 80+ consistently in just a short few months.

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

They've been great at managing and working within a brand new industry. We have lots of industry-specific speak that they've gone out of their way to learn and adapt to in their campaigns. In addition to this, they've been very responsive to any last-minute changes or are open to feedback.

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

I really appreciate their hands-on and friendly approach. Their team really cares about their relationships with their clients and it shows in the way they handle requests and explain each campaign they're working on.

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

As a fast growing team, communication is key. A clear feedback loop on when new members are joining or new people assigned to our account is always great – adding a bit more of a lead time for changes like these would be great in the future.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

We are an e-commerce business providing customers with high-quality outdoor and preparedness gear. As the marketing director, I oversee our brand's marketing strategy and implementation to drive awareness and lead generation.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire KlientBoost?

We hired KlientBoost to set up and manage our paid ads asking initially to get us on Facebook, Instagram, Google Ads, Search, Pinterest, and YouTube.

What were your goals for this project?

Our goal was to get new ads created and approved by these channels since we have had issues with platform approval in the past.

SOLUTION

How did you select KlientBoost?

We selected KlientBoost hoping that we'd get a dedicated team to accomplish our goals in a timely manner and work weekly to optimize ad performance.

Describe the scope of their work in detail.

We first met with a sales rep who was very easy to work with through contract negotiation. After selecting KB, we were contracted to have an account manager and a designer assigned to us.

Our account manager worked on setting up new ad channels and did a diligent job with our accounts and getting ads approved and running. It took a lot longer than expected to get ads on all the channels, but over all, we have been happy with the time and dedication our account manager spends with us.

What was the team composition?

We only work with our account manager and he sometimes works with a designer.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Since working with KB, sales from paid ads has increased to account for 20% of our total revenue. Basically, KB manages our ads now on Facebook and Google and we see good return that's worth the investment. We also enjoy working with our account manager who is always helpful and easy to get a hold of. However, we thought we'd be getting more services from KB including accurate reporting (still lacking), higher quality design support, and quicker turnaround for channel setup.

After over a month of issues trying to secure creative design from KB, our account manager said they don't usually provide a lot of creative, and it was very unclear why the sales rep and our contract promised us this. The low quality design and lack of creative material was where KB fell short.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

Our project manager is very easy to communicate with and consistently provides short weekly email updates and longer bi-weekly calls. We are happy with their level of support.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

We are impressed by our project manager's understanding of Facebook Ads and his determination to improve FB performance. He is also quick to troubleshoot and fix things that require his expertise. Additionally, we appreciate his consistent and clear communication.

Are there any areas for improvement?

Sales should spend more time understanding client needs and expectations before drafting contracts that KB cannot fulfill. When the sales rep promised us we'd have a designer to create ads for us, we expected that- However, this contracted promise was not fulfilled in a way that met our expectations: we did not have a dedicated designer and the designer that our project manager was able to get some help from did not provide quality work.

Finally, the lead designer for the design team was put on our case and was able to provide some designs that worked better. We also expected detailed and accurate reporting. While we have reporting from the social platforms we advertise on, the reporting from KB is inaccurate and too high level to analyze.

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

Thanks to the landing page design, content, and clear call-to-actions we reached an average of 7% conversion rate on our landing pages. Our average conversion rate across Google Ads was about 6% and close to 1% on the display networks, well above our industry averages.

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

The Klientboost team did a great job keeping the communication flowing and active via email, weekly calls, and PM tools such as Google docs/files and basecamp.

Their willingness to risk and think outside the box impressed us. They brought ideas to the table that we never thought might work, and they did! They are an innovative bunch, super creative, and FUN to work with.

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

When we worked with them, they focused more on PPC and social ads, and at the time, we were looking for an agency that offered a bit more, including SEO and PPC expertise. Recently the company has expanded, and they now offer SEO services.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

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

Our primary KPI's revolved around re-establishing a healthy ROAS & doubling our current audience base.

SOLUTION

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

After meeting with three other agencies, I knew immediately after KlientBoost's demo that this was the agency we needed to partner with. Not only were they prompt, KlientBoost was extremely data driven yet delivered with a very personal touch.

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

KlientBoost started off with a world class discovery phase, truly digging in to who we are as a brand. From there KlientBoost began reworking our existing campaigns to see what was salvageable.

After thoroughly understanding what was performing historically, they began testing and scaling to meet our targets.

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

Believe there was 4 to start with and now we consistently work with our A Team (Grant & Cody) who operate as our account manager and designer.

I can't say there is at the current moment.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the CMO for Evernest, a national property management company with offices throughout the southeast and midwest.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire KlientBoost?

We launched a new brand and were using a 'pay per lead' service to generate online search leads. The problem was that our leads were not very warm. So we hired KlientBoost to create a search campaign for our Atlanta office first and then we opened it up to all eight of our locations.

What were your goals for this project?

We wanted to increase leads reaching out to us for property management services. Because of our new branding, it was important to increase our leads through a search for each of our markets.

SOLUTION

How did you select KlientBoost?

I had followed KlientBoost's blog for several years. Then one of their associates reached out to me on LinkedIn and I told him I was open to a meeting. We met and after some discussion, I chose to work with them.

Describe the scope of their work in detail.

We had some discovery calls and decided that they would run Google Adwords for us in the Atlanta market, to begin with. Next, we started using them in all of our other markets for Google Ads. Finally, we asked them to run some Facebook ads for us.

What was the team composition?

I work primarily with my account executive, Ashley, and one of their developers, Kelvin.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The quality of leads from our 'pay per lead' group has dramatically improved. We have four sales reps handling these leads and they have commented that the leads are much warmer than previously. We are also getting conversions from our Facebook ads when we were not running any until KlientBoost started.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

It's been great. I have been the main contact and Ashley and I meet every two weeks to discuss performance and any adjustments that need to be made.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

Their customer service and attention to detail.

Are there any areas for improvement?

The only thing that will be improving is just their understanding of our industry and how best to locate our potential clients without attracting tenants.

SOLUTION

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

Our company had discussions with the owner Jonathon and through that discussion, they had confirmed the benefits of using KlientBoost for PPC. KlientBoost's knowledge in the field of PPC was the deciding factor.

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

The goal was to create various landing pages (the amount has changed year to year) for our different types of training and create Ad campaigns to bring in leads.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

During the ramp-up to our season, we met frequently via video calls to discuss progress and ensure the development was on target. We are using Asana to ensure tasks and milestones are being met. When timelines were slipping, KlientBoost added resources to get us back on track.

Their dedication and commitment to the client's success are very impressive. I always feel that our account manager Chris is committed to the cause even when it means significant amounts of effort to get the job done.

Are there any areas for improvement?

Onboarding was a little bit slower than anticipated but we were able to recover and with the added help got on track.
