Clients: TestimonialsAlong with providing ROI-specific search engine marketing services, Anvil prides itself on top-notch customer service. If a client can't provide us an enthusiastic recommendation, we've done something wrong. The testimonials below demonstrate that we're able to keep our clients happy and deliver results. Why not join the list of satisfied customers? Ecommerce/Retail "After spending ridiculous amount of hours tinkering with the SEO for our website, I made some, but little progress. Talking to the pro's at ANVIL was brief, friendly and to the point. I didn't give them a complicated brief, but they knew exactly where I got stuck. My designated advisors' lightning fast, thorough analysis of our site came to me as promised within a couple of days. It was accompanied by a step by step walk thru on screen by phone: What to do, what to avoid. Not a trace of arrogance or hard to understand techno-babble. Their attitude is purely "yes, you can!" And very invigorating to our sales numbers as well." “Everyone I have worked with at Anvil has been attentive, dedicated, approachable and fun! The Anvil team members are masters of search engine marketing, and their hard work and guidance have helped our brand realize a remarkable increase in sales and visibility on the web. I'm looking forward to continuing to grow our e-commerce channel and overall web presence with Anvil.” "Anvil's Site Marketability Analysis Report told us which of our site features needed to be enhanced, what elements were missing, how to optimize our content and how to improve the overall marketability and search visibility of our site. They then helped us sensibly and economically prioritize our task list in order to start the overhaul. Many of the tasks were over our head, technically, so Anvil plugged us in with Sightworks (web developers) to execute the line items. The three way work relationship couldn't have operated any smoother. Big props to Anvil (and Sightworks) for getting us rolling in the right direction. As soon as the enhancements were in place, we noticed improved search results overnight." "We started working with Anvil Media in March as the Research Phase got underway. After the Research Phase, we swiftly moved into the Launch Phase where both our internal team and Anvil began implementing recommendations that came out of the Research Phase. Anvil hit all of their timelines and the documentation that was provided was very thorough, knowledgeable and based on our first month of reporting, has been very effective. We've seen a 25% increase in overall revenue, with a 1,300% increase coming from organic revenue. Anvil is excellent at what they do and have a very responsive, bright team that acts immediately to obtain results." "Anvil's deep knowledge of the Internet and marketing has been invaluable. Their team is smart, energetic and relentless in identifying business opportunities." "I took Anvil's advice and fully believe that it was right on. I wish I hadn't waited 2 years to do something about our site. I took a big pass through our site and changed it considerably, not only for the search engines, but for usability and appearance. Now after making the changes that Anvil recommended, not only has Google started sending me traffic again, but Yahoo traffic has increased as well, doubling the organic traffic to my web-site." "Anvil has played an integral role in helping us exceed our goals for our online marketing programs. They have continually demonstrated great attention to detail and flexibility to adapt with our business." "Instrument has worked with Anvil Media as a Search Marketing partner for several years and we have nothing but great things to say about their work ethic, service and attention to detail. Anvil prides itself on delivering true value and that is something we respect wholeheartedly. If Kent and crew can't do it great, they won't bother doing it. In the Search and Internet Marketing world, there is a ton of misinformation and "snake oil" salesmen. Anvil Media is not in that category. They are honest, hardworking and ultra smart marketers with an eye on the future of Search and Social as it relates to the success of every brand, business or agency. Instrument would not hesitate to recommend Anvil to any of our clients or partner with the company in future Internet marketing efforts." "Working with Anvil has been fantastic and we know that we can trust their expertise. Not only did they seamlessly transition the management of our PPC campaigns, but they continue to show outstanding results from their efforts." “Having worked with Anvil Media in a prior position, I knew that I could rely on them to help address SEO issues we were having with the website as well as launch our first ever SEM campaign. Anvil has delivered. Our web sales are exceeding expectations. However, the most important part of working with any agency is the relationship that you build with the client services team. The team at Anvil delivers in this area as well by being very responsive, meeting deadlines, providing creative and innovative solutions, and spending the time to learn our business.” "Anvil has provided our Internet Marketing team great traction in our Google AdWords and Overture campaigns. Investing some of our online marketing budget to have Anvil manage our campaigns and keywords has proven a wise and prosperous investment from an ROI perspective. We feel we're getting even more "bang for the buck" for each dollar spent with Google and Overture through our partnership with Anvil." "As a small, ambitious start-up company, point6 jumped into the world of online sales head first, but without a lot of experience among the team! Fortunately, for us, Anvil was there to help guide us and offer meaningful advice as we designed and implemented new programs, including a critical redesign of the new website. By implementing Anvil’s suggested changes to the site, the results were immediate and very effective. Anvil has been a constant source of inspiration and gladly offers a wealth of information to help us optimize our online business strategies. We have been very impressed with Anvil’s thorough methodology, detailed reporting and the helpful training they provide us along the way. Presenting technical data in a user-friendly manner is a great accomplishment. We look forward to increasing our relationship with Anvil as point6 as we grow the business over the next several years." “Anvil Media provided a timely and comprehensive audit of our existing AdWords account. Their insights and recommendations have greatly improved the traffic coming into our site and have delivered measurable increases in sales. The Anvil team was helpful in providing tips for managing the account on-going as well, they strive to ensure their clients learn and understand the strategies and changes provided.” – Projector Zone "Anvil has been key to our online PPC success. As a result of their hard work and attention to our account, we have seen a significant increase in ROI. Anvil's relationship with Summit Projects has helped add value through landing page assessments in which we expect to see even further success. We appreciate Anvil's dedication and look forward to a long standing relationship with them." Education “Anvil Media has been a wonderful partner for helping Animationmentor.com leverage social media tools to grow its business. They helped optimize our communications and format our messaging to get the most bang for our buck from sites like Facebook and Twitter. They were also very pro-active about finding ways to leverage our marketing strategies like banner campaigns, Webinars, blogs and news coverage and promote those even more in new media. Our combined PR and marketing campaigns have really benefited from the extra push we got from Anvil's expertise. They are smart, supportive and extremely customer focused. We've thoroughly enjoyed our experience with them." “Anvil has proven to be a great resource for pay per click, organic SEO and other online services. Their insight, counsel and ROI reporting has helped ClickSafety remain competitive and profitable in a tough marketplace. I would highly recommend their services to anyone looking to boost their online presence.” – Click Safety "Anvil has caused us to think differently about our business practices and our approach to effective recruiting strategies in higher education today and tomorrow. They have brought skills, processes and resources to the tables which have been impactful and transformative. Concordia considers Anvil to be a valuable partner as we attempt to share our University with a broad regional audience" "Anvil Media's expertise in the PPC and SEO industry is unparalled. We were very impressed with the thoroughness of their reporting; it made our decision-making easy. Their recommendations were right on point, and their responsiveness to our needs and changes have been a pleasant suprise we've not found with other vendors." Events "What I am most impressed with is Anvil Media's process. Yes, they are search engine marketing experts, but they have also developed a methodology that helps the client understand search engine marketing. Their process combined various data points into a framework that we can use to not only benchmark where we are at with regard to the search engines, but also provides a roadmap for improvement with continued performance monitoring." Financial Services “Anvil understands the dynamic nature of our business and always keeps our best interests in mind. Their team has been incredibly flexible while maintaining a high level of service. Anvil’s proactive approach and attention to detail has helped take our site to new levels of success. They give us honest answers and we trust their instincts." "Anvil was brought on to help increase the visibility of our Web site through both organic listings and PPC. Anvil has been extremely receptive to our needs and has delivered on our PPC campaigns, as we are seeing a huge increase in leads. We appreciate Anvil’s hard work and look forward to a long relationship." "We hired Anvil to turn around the performance of our PPC campaigns which were struggling to meet our cost per order goal as well as lower our advertising costs. Anvil not only delivered on significantly lowering our cost per order, even below the goal, but they also managed to grow our order volume while doing it. Anvil has more than proven their skill and expertise and their dedication to our account has been second to none. " "The folks at Anvil really know their stuff. They have helped me through every step of transforming my business into a successful online marketing machine. It is amazing the opportunity to drive business using digital marketing, and Anvil has helped me to target my market and go after it!" Healthcare/Fitness "Our experience with Anvil is that you guys not only know your stuff, but are able to present it in an educational and implementable format which was important for us. Your reputation precedes you.” "We've been a Google AdWords advertiser since 2003, and even though we were proficient in managing our account and seeing some success, we engaged Anvil to consult in further optimizing our campaigns. Their work paid off in the first few weeks, with twice the amount of leads for the same amount of money." Hospitality/Travel/Tourism "As a growing business with limited resources, we appreciate Anvil’s cost-effective, high-value consulting services. Since we first started working with Anvil a few year’s ago, we’ve been able to steadily increase sales conversions and search engine visibility. When it comes to search engine marketing strategy, we can count on Anvil for solid advice." "Anvil was engaged to help evaluate and improve our website's SEO strategy, as well as expand our PPC marketing efforts. They are doing a great job and we are really happy with the results so far. Beyond the boost we've seen in all metrics associated with search engine marketing (both organic and paid), they have also been extremely helpful with ad-hoc inquiries and ongoing efforts beyond the initial analysis and recommendations. They even helped connect us with good sources of traditional PR (interview with Maxwell PR) and helped us find a good hire through pdxMindShare." "Anvil Media has been an integral part of developing our online marketing presence. We've found their subject-matter expertise to be surpassed only by their personalized customer service. They have worked with us to craft solutions and marketing approaches unique to our business and the results have been impressive. The weekly interaction with our account manager has been very beneficial to our project." "Anvil has brought our level of search engine marketing to where we've always wanted to be - we can now track our return on investment and put our marketing dollars into results that deliver." “The work Anvil has done for Jackson Hole Central Reservations has been very thorough and prompt. The SEO and PPC audit and subsequent changes have had a positive impact on our summer traffic with an increase in PPC and a significant increase in organic search with our targeted keywords. Although we have just started scraping the surface of the social media and online reputation audits, both seem very thorough and progressive in their suggested changes. In addition, Anvil’s account managers are readily available and informative in answering ALL of our questions.” “Anvil has exceeded our expectations in every way. Their Reporting, Account Management, Problem Resolution, SEO and PPC knowledge has been excellent. We recently took on a partner and Anvil has had to work through some pretty arduous tasks to help the transition go smoothly, I don't think I could have done it without their support. We interviewed multiple SEO companies before deciding on Anvil, we made the right choice!” "Anvil has been an integral resource for the Portland Oregon Visitors Association. Since beginning work with them early this year we have seen our search engine visibility grow substantially. Their recommendations are spot on and provide trackable results. We are thrilled to be working with a team that is so dedicated to our own goals." “It was a positively a pleasure to work with Anvil. They provided our company a wealth of information that greatly improved the performance of our Web site. They made a difference.” — Washington County Visitor Association Mobile and Wireless "Anvil is solid... that's really the best way to put it. ELEVEN has, from the beginning, been extremely budget constrained across the company, and especially in marketing. Even with this major barrier, Anvil pulled through and worked wonders for us. The Anvil team worked within our constraints, put a plan in place, delivered the most compelling strategy possible and successfully executed." Professional Services "Here's a firm that delivers value every single month because they don't stop thinking about ways to improve our online advertising programs. Looking at the numbers, it's clear that Anvil's relentless attention to bid management, network selection data analysis and the myriad other parts of a successful PPC strategy continues to bring costs down, capture new audiences and build a body of knowledge that informs our overall online strategy." "From the start, Anvil Media provided us the SEO training we needed. Not only did they tell us how to update our site for search engine rankings, but they told us why each step was important. I wish we would have engaged them from the start even before we built our new site." "From my experience of working with Anvil Media over the past several months, they have demonstrated a very high level of knowledge on all things SEM, as well as incredible professionalism and enthusiasm for the industry. GTS has benefitted from their advanced knowledge of Pay-per-Click campaign management, website optimization and local search. Our contact is very easy to talk to, and answers questions sent via email quickly and concisely. I have very much enjoyed working with Anvil." Publishing "We were already seeing over 5 million uniques per month on our site, but wanted to know if Anvil could take us further. In just a short amount of time, they understood our business and presented a concise list of suggestions. We've implemented the first half of the list and the increase in visibility and site traffic are dramatic. This was the best money spent - ever." "Anvil has been working with BetterManagement for only a short time, but we couldn't be more pleased. Anvil is a very professional organization that never disappoints. BetterManagement is looking forward to utilizing Anvil's talent for years to come." Non-Profit "Anvils incredibly knowledgeable team educated our staff on how to think more strategically about our web site. We were amazed at how many simple (and no cost) things we could be doing to maximize the effectiveness and usefulness of our web site, thus increasing online traffic. Their suggestions, feedback and instruction have been invaluable. We highly recommend Anvil to other businesses and nonprofit organizations looking to build their online presence!" "Anvil Media provided us with excellent ideas and training on search engine optimization for our economic development Web sites. The Anvil staff is creative, savvy and very easy to work with - I highly recommend their services." "After re-branding our organization and simultaneously switching domains, I knew we needed the help of SEM professionals. We turned to Anvil and their thorough research to guide our business through this transitional period. Anvil outlined certain optimization techniques, current web visibility and marketability and provided us with potential opportunities. Anvil even delivered an SEO roadmap prioritizing their recommendations thus making our transition easier." "As a non-profit organization, we neither had the staff nor the resources to maximize our presence on the web until we met Anvil. By partnering with Anvil, we're on our way to achieving a website that's comparable to that of any for profit business. Our mission is to prevent abuse and thanks to Anvil, we are now giving life-saving information to a world wide audience." "Thank you for all of your hard work Anvil! We have never had so many volunteer inquiries and our online donations continue to rise. I have to think that your efforts have had made this possible." Real Estate "We approached Anvil with the goal of having a newly created web site rank in the top three positions of Google Local and in the first page of Google organic rankings. Following Anvil's clear, step-by-step advice we were able to achieve these goals in a relatively short period of time with very little knowledge of web design and search engine optimization. We now drive approximately 50% of our business from our Internet presence in a cost-effective manner. I would highly recommend Anvil's services to any company seeking to increase the number of qualified sales leads via the Internet. " "Anvil Media provided the direction our website needed with a thorough long-term website strategy that examined our strengths and weaknesses and outlined opportunities for our business. They provided the tactics necessary to execute our strategy including SEO copywriting, usability and social media promotion; helping to take our business to new heights." Software "It was a pleasure working with Anvil Media, Inc. Anvil's team completed top work for AmberPoint by improving our SEO and PPC campaigns. Anvil's team demonstrated great competence in all facets of the project and their actions and recommendations have really helped our company's online visibility. During the two month project, Anvil's recommendations and guidance helped to increase AmberPoint's online visibility by 61%. Moving forward will be much easier with the systems Anvil has set in place, and we are sure to see even greater benefits in all areas of search engine marketing." “I wish we started with working with Anvil since we launched Attensa. Knowledgeable, creative and efficient, Anvil consistently delivers measurable results. Without a doubt Anvils gives Attensa big bang for the buck and they have helped me reach a higher level of marketing bliss." "We began working with Anvil to help increase lead quality and ROI for our PPC campaigns. Immediately upon taking the account over, we began seeing an increase in the number of leads being delivered, and the quality of the leads had significantly improved as well. In addition to the thorough and deep knowledge of PPC best practices, strategies and techniques, Anvil is second to none when it comes to customer service and account management. BT INS and Anvil have recently expanded the relationship. Anvil is now working with BT INS as they develop and release a brand new site. Anvil has provided excellent SEO recommendations to help increase the traffic and visibility of the new site." "Anvil has proved itself with results that count: increasing the value of our PPC marketing campaigns by more than three-fold, and increasing our organic search visibility to near the top-ranks of our category. They are experts who take initiative and integrate very well with our team." "Working with Anvil has been an eye-opening experience for all of us at Compli. Our account manager offers innovative suggestions to help us continually improve our PPCs and search engine rankings, sends in-depth monthly reports which track and monitor the progress of our SEO efforts and responds quickly to all of our questions. The search engine visibility of our website has increased significantly due to Anvil's recommendations. We're very pleased with all Anvil has done for our company, and look forward to continuing our relationship with them in the future." "Working with Anvil on a regular basis is a pleasant experience because they are competent people who can act on their own in our best interests. This leaves us to manage our business knowing that our website marketing is being taken care of." "Through Anvil's research and implementation strategy, our website has steadily increased our search engine rankings for all our major keyword terms. In addition to organic optimization, the Pay-Per-Click management strategy implemented by Anvil has helped us stay visible in our increasingly competitive market. Over the last year I have found piece of mind in knowing that our search engine marketing is in good hands with Anvil." "We outsourced our SEM management to Anvil over six months ago and have had great results. John, our Account Executive, has done an outstanding job communicating with us and maximizing results while staying within our specified budget. The Anvil team is professional, proactive, and I would highly recommend working with them." -- CUI “Anvil is a partner in our SEO & online marketing strategy. Working with the Anvil team is like working with an extension of our marketing department. There is regular back and forth, where each side is contributing and gaining further insight. The end result is a collaboration focused on our goals as a company. Rather than strict SEO & PPC management, Anvil molds their efforts to meet our needs.” "Marqui worked together with Anvil to optimize our own web site for search engines - a process that we found so effective, we turned it into a white paper for other marketers to use! We're now leveraging their expertise to help us build a buzz about Marqui online. I rely on Anvil for their extensive experience, and have been delighted by their responsiveness and professional approach to the projects we've engaged in." "We came to Anvil with a tight timeframe for our new site launch and asked them to help us build a site from the ground up with SEO best practices. From their initial audit, through keyword selection and page optimization, they worked with both our development and content teams to fine tune the site design. So far we are seeing good results, and have found their expertise to be a great complement to our in house efforts." “Thanks to Anvil and their help with our Analytics installation, we can now track all of our online conversions. Anvil has been a true partner, by listening to our goals and objectives and executing an analytics plan to support and measure our online marketing efforts, we use analytics to make informed online marketing decisions.”— Yesmail |
