Hi,

I am looking to promote with a website with a PPC campaign & SEO Management

After some extensive research on 3rd party companies that can help with this I found that ebrandz offer quite good packages (Promises)

I just wanted to know if anyone at warrior forum have ever used they're services and gotten good conversion rates.

Also, Is spending over $500 per month on SEO management to much?

On they're website under services you will find packages for 1.search engine optimization & 2. Pay per click Management.

I am thinking of taking the value seo package of $539pm and gold ppc package for $479pm with a $1000 per month addwords budget.

This is alot of cash so before I invest I please need some honest opinions.

I have a safari lodge website that resides in south africa where I would like more leads/bookings.

Thanks in advance,
Paul

    What you need to find out is what you'll be getting for the money. I don't know how much knowledge you have of SEO but you could find out what techniques they use and compare with other firms. Are they working towards a goal you've set (such as no. of hits or SERP positions for particular keywords)

    Depending on what you need from the SEO service it could be too expensive or too cheap

        Yes they can be trusted. You need to work with them for 3 - 6 months and see the results for yourself.

        I have given them over 10 of my larger SEO project and they have done great work!

          Yes, you signed up to promote a company. You are probably an employee yourself.

          Here's a hint: Stop hiding your affiliation. Sign up as an official representative of the company and answer questions without promoting your brand. I hate people like you who hide behind a disguise and expect everybody to be stupid enough to believe that you're a "customer".

          Rant over.

          Just got back from a #BrightonSEO. I was given room 404 in the hotel I stayed at. Couldn’t find it anywhere!

            Dear Icematikx,

            Goldseomaster(real name Weston) is not an eBrandz employee. He is employee of an agency (Doug Dvorak) that works with eBrandz. I represent eBrandz officially on these forums and have posted in past as well.

            We saw this post, and thought instead of tooting our own horn, would be better to get one of our agency clients to respond. Since they did not have an account, created new one.

            You can request one of the admins to check posting history of this account, with goldseomaster and find out if anything is fishy. And you can always google the name Doug Dvorak.

            Yes we live in a strange online world where reviews are regularly bought and its difficult to verify online identities. So I can understand your scepticism.

            Just wanted to clarify this. Cheers!

              Hey Milind,

              So I ordered one month of service from you guys, it's been 3? now I believe and I still have not received many parts of my initial order...
              Such as my original Press Release, YouTube channel setup + video, etc.

              All my emails to multiple employees, Skype requests, everything is ignored.

              Why is this happening?

              To anyone else here on Warriorforum, unfortunately I would have to say, don't use eBrandz. I had a horrible experience and overall it was a waste of my, and my clients, time + money.

                      Same here; shortlisted ebrandz as one of three possible firms to work with.

                      I've been burned using Freelancers before. Got my money back, but jobs went un-done and pissed off clients. Now I'm looking for an outsource company that will be accountable & reliable.

                      Edit: Didn't notice the date stamp of this thread. Anyway, my post is relevant of as of today

    Don't waste your money most SEO companies have no idea what they are doing these folks will take your money and run.

    Now a days if a company doesn't explain to you anything about Domain Authority and Page Authority than they will not be able to rank you. If they go to fiverr and buy spam links for you will rank but not for long at all.

    The other think you can do ask them about anchor text because if this isn't done properly you will not rank at all. Hope that gives you a starting point.

    You'r website must not look SEOd if you're looking to rank on Google right now.

      I have been working with eBrandz for almost 4 years now and I would not work with any other outsource SEO provider. I have tried a few others but they do not match up to Ebrandz quality of work, responsiveness and results.

      I would trust them with your SEO & PPC work. The only thing you need to do is keep in touch with them and make sure that you reach out to them when you feel something is missing or not going in the right direction. They will respond and try to help in any way they can.

      I give them 5 stars...

      There are several different types of companies. Just because you can't get decent service from some doesn't mean that you can dismiss the entire industry. Yes, there's too many IMers who just do SEO because they see easy money, shady fly-by-night vendors, one-trick ponies, and hustlers who'd sell their own mom if the price is right.

      I've worked with seasoned SEO vets who have been in the business for as long as it has existed, and command $xxxx/mo prices. There's a bunch of decent operations who don't ask nearly that much, or are happy to do just a part of the process.

      Links in signature will not help your SEO. Not on this site, and not on any other forum.
      Who told me this? An ex Google web spam engineer.

      What's your excuse?

    With so many SEO firms around, it's hard to get feedback for a company from actual users randomly from forum users.

    It would have been better if you had asked for reviews on SEO/PPC service providers from this forum itself, since their clients/customers would be readily available to lend a fair feedback.

    Personally, I have not tried any SEO providers from Warriorforum or heard about eBrands. And to be honest, I am not a firm believer that you should hire someone based solely on positive reviews either as performance differs for each project, since every industry brings with it its own challenges.

    I did hired this guy for my PPC Campaigns though and he did a great job for the two projects which I assigned to him.

    Its always better to hire an freelancer than seo firms. Since most of the time you cannot validate their claims about happy clients, their expertise, cost of the services etc. Also most of the times SEO firms do outsource or hire college freshers to do work. Most of the people who are doing the project for you will never know what they are doing and what will be the impact of that in rankings.

    However when you try to hire an freelancer from sites like freelancer, elance, odesk etc you will get bids from multiple freelancers, you will be able to see their skill levels and scores in exams, completion of relevant previous projects, feedback of their previous clients. Also you can split your requirements in to different projects and hire many talented freelancers and build your own reliable team. Even though it will be very tough in the beginning. It will yield you much better results in the long term.
