What is the story behind starting this company?
When establishing Effeect, I had one vision – revolutionizing the digital marketing landscape.

Review Summary

At first, back in 2023, we started with the basics; traditional SEO and content creation, and we’ve stuck to that as the base to our strategy to this day. Along the way, we’ve picked up and let go of other variables relevant to online awareness, according to our needs, such as website content, article translation, online campaigning and more.

We never discussed numbers with them, because Effeect won’t promise something they can’t fulfill exactly. In other words, they won’t tell you that they will raise a campaign on Facebook that will get you 3000 likes, because they know that is not something anyone can commit to. They are very straightforward in that sense.

Once we got started, Ranxy Company handled everything professionally and efficiently. They developed creative yet effective ads tailored to each platform. I appreciated that they optimized the ads frequently based on performance data, making thoughtful suggestions that would better resonate with my target customers.

Advertising

Describe your project in brief

Ranxy’s 2-month social media project was vital for SmartBoost’s growth - strategic audience targeting and agile optimization unlocked 7,500+ app downloads. Decreasing cost per acquisition 32%, the achieved ROI justifies further development investments to continue marketing to new mobile-savvy customers.

What is it about the company that you appreciate the most?

Ranxy succeeds through strategy, data, and effort. They were kind, quick to respond, and very knowledgeable about using social media to help me achieve my marketing objectives. Using optimized, creative ads that were specific to each platform, they enhanced both my website traffic and customer acquisitions. Thanks to their fantastic return on investment, I would not hesitate to work with this firm again.

What was it about the company that you didn't like which they should do better?

Given their strong expertise and results in handling the ad campaign itself, more comprehensive dashboarding and data-driven insights on the backend would have been even more helpful for me to track and optimize ongoing performance.
