After being told by four digital marketing companies that SEO for my website would cost an exorbitant amount of money, I had the luck - truly - that's what it had to have been, to chat over a cup of coffee with Leanna DeBellevue, the CEO of DeBellevue Global Marketing. I kept running into her at events, so I thought we should connect - not at all about finding SEO solutions for my niche micro business. We didn't even chat about that until the end of our coffee date, when I mentioned by-the-by the fact that I wasn't able to find a feasible solution to my website SEO issue.
After sharing what I was looking for and the challenges that my business with niche offerings was facing, Leanna offered several possible solutions, some of which were completely outside of the box, brilliant, and ... obvious. Why hadn't I thought of that?? Wait - why hadn't the other four digital marketing companies thought of that?!
So...light bulb! Hey! Holy smokes! Finally! Someone who gets it! Someone who can help me grow my business.
We began implementing this new plan immediately. I completed the questionnaire and then her web-dev guru, Charles, asked a bunch of questions about my business, what was important to me, what I wanted to convey, listened to everything I had to say, told me what next steps were (I'm a conformist, so I followed his directions to the letter), and then sat back and watched as Charles created something stunning that I feel absolutely represents me and my brand. Charles is highly skilled (with people and his craft) and has truly been a pleasure to work with.
Next, my site was SEOed by DeBellevue's SEO guru (oof - I can't remember the name).
Now, ...we wait.
"SEO takes time," they said.
"Three to six months," they said.
Yeah, whatever. I received two inquiries within the first three WEEKS. I asked the two leads how they found me and confirmed that the SEO DeBellevue implemented was what directed these two potential customers to me. It's 100% verifiable.
Just. Incredible.
If you can't tell, I could not be more grateful, and I highly recommend DGM. Don't let their global presence keep you from reaching out due to the size of your business or your offerings. If they can help my teensy niche business, they can help anyone.
