My Client Feedback

Larger Average Job Size and More Qualified Leads

“I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude for your invaluable assistance in supporting Keen on Green Disposal’s marketing efforts with online search optimization over the years. Your expertise has been a tremendous asset to our company. As you know, the first half of 2024 presented some challenges due to the slower overall economy, particularly within the construction and real estate industry. The beginning of July, we received a positive email from you about the new changes made in recent month is starting to gain traction and we should see in the up coming weeks. You were right about that! In the later 6 month of 2024, we had larger average job size, qualified leads and some we didn’t need to bid and compete for. We appreciate all the efforts, strategic planning sessions and consultation. We look forward to continue working with you and your team in 2025.”

Significant Increase in Business

“My experience with 1st on the List and Neeraj is that I am more involved than ever before.  I know my business and he knows what his is and together I can already tell before the website is complete that it will be a more converting style of website.  (I actually have never had anyone explain this to me or what the difference is between a ‘nice’ looking site and a ‘converting’ website)  By Neeraj getting my input on the most important parts of our business – it’s helped him to optimize appropriately.  Because of us doing this I have been completely educated on the entire process and have a full understanding of how our website will work.  

We recently started our SEO campaign with 1st on the List in December and already we have noticed from last June to this June a significant increase in business so this is good news!! Usually, we have a decrease in the % of sales when the weather is warmer however now we have had a dramatic increase! So not only have we had an increase but it’s happening when typically sales are down! Big deal on our end. There was a 19% increase in sales in May 2018 compared to May 2017 and better yet, we had a solid 26% increase in sales in June 2018 compared to June 2017.”

Significant Increase in Business

“Neeraj has performed excellent work for us. We have had previous SEO companies, however, they barely scratched the surface. We were ranking in the top 3 keywords for our city. Neeraj has ranked us top 3 in 5-6 municipalities. The way I would describe his approach is a whale swimming in the ocean compared to a fish swimming in a lake.. both are doing what they’re supposed to but one is making more waves. Beyond that, we love his personality and dealing with him!”
