Stormbrain will reshape your understanding of what a website can do for your business

Stormbrain was the ideal partner to overhaul the company's website. They provided high-quality work, accommodating to very high demands, and were highly responsive to website design changes. We issued a lot of design changes however Stormbrain took a partnership approach and worked with us to establish a new deadline at no additional cost.

An awesome experience working with the guys that know their stuff!

I had an excellent experience working with Blake and the team at Storm Brain. They took care of our client's SEO and PPC needs, and even helped consult on matters like Web design and development. The results were very positive, as both of those areas witnessed substantial growth (happy client!). They know their business very well and it shows in their work and results. Thanks guys!

What service was provided as part of the project?

Digital Marketing, Web Designing (UI/UX)

Describe your project in brief

They took care of our client's SEO and PPC needs, and even helped consult on matters like Web design and development. This client came to us with no conversions on Organic SEO or Paid Ads on google. They took their time to understand the problem, scope out competition and possibilities for improvement and then went down to work. Now, our clients finally rank on the first page as an SaaS company (which is very hard) and their PPC ads have a hefty ROI. Couldn't be happier.

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

their work quality is unparalleled - I am very impressed by the results they obtained

Their communication is thorough and they are always available and transparent

Their friendliness and willingness to educate us on various aspects of the market

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

Honestly, nothing. Their price was high but they over-delivered on our expectations. I have nothing to complain about.

A wide range of services

We went to Storm Brain for specifics around SEO with our e-commerce business and ended up hiring them not only for web design but also for all of our social marketing needs. This team is super fun to work with and extremely knowledgeable when it comes to increasing site engagement and driving sales. We were blown away by the difference we saw after hiring them. If you're looking for a design team that cares, you've found them. Thanks to Storm Brain we tripled our engagement and revenue plus landed on a clear branding strategy for our company. We continue to work with them to this day and look forward to many more years to come!

Excellent SEO Company

My company brought on Storm Brain a few months back, and we have already seen big improvements in our visibility in organic search. We were skeptical of search engine optimization companies, after working with a few in the past. But, we now have turn a full 180. What a great company. We are considering working with them on some PPC campaigns as well.... More to come!

Whether serving B2B or B2C, we individualize the audiences and then build campaigns specifically around the ideal customer.  We also launch every campaign with an understanding of our goals and measurements of success. It’s then imperative to create marketing and advertising assets that connect with the ideal customer speaking directly to their needs and interests in a way that is conversion oriented. The strategy is unique to the business based on each of these factors, and from there, we can execute, optimize, and manage our marketing campaigns effectively.

There are strategies and techniques that have proven to be successful in any marketing strategy, but it’s important to test and optimize to see what’s working well and continue those elements of a strategy or bring new ideas to the strategy over time.
