What our customer says:
The world is full of internet marketing and search agencies. We have used quite a few over the past 17 years, until we met with Jonathan at Aqueous.
My first impression of Jonathan was that he was not a smoke and mirrors type of a guy. His honesty and dedication to his work and company has always impressed me and this has filtered down to his team too.
Over the years, we have collaborated with many of the team at Aqueous. I especially enjoyed working with Liza, who never failed to answer my many questions, when we were working together to identify copyright infringement on competitor websites. In total, we had 22 websites either removed from search or we legally forced them to remove content they had lifted from our website, as this was harming our own search rankings.
At the outset of our work together, Aqueous discovered that under our previous agency, we’d been given two Google penalties. This was the main reason our website wasn’t performing well. Aqueous came up with a solution, and after few months’ work, we had the penalties lifted.
We are a small company in terms of size, operating in a very narrow speciality marketplace. It’s an un-regulated industry, with fierce competition, so discovering new ways to attract traffic, and ultimately sales, is not always about the clicks…
Sitting on the sales and marketing side of the company, I’ve always been interested in the latest Google developments and enhancements. Aqueous don’t let you stand still, offering advice and guidance on the next project, whilst not rejecting our desire to be involved at all stages, or coming up with a feasible workable plan when the task is beyond our capabilities.
The team’s advice on how to be recognised for the quality of work we do, by teaming up with Trust Pilot, has further enhanced our position by converting our search traffic into sales.
With the help of Aqueous, we were able to install and run conversion tracking software and integrate this with all the other tools they introduced us to. This has been invaluable in giving us insight and direction.
PPC (paid) search has over the years driven us to distraction, putting a heavy strain on financial resources. In a competitive industry, it did not always bring the desired results.
Last year when Owen started working on our account, we worked together to improve the performance of paid ads. Owen was able to help with a part restructure of our campaigns to kerb the spend, whilst still delivering results.
Caitlin and I currently work together on the content of the site, and how we can improve the customer experience, whilst attracting “local search”, and you never know Caitlin may even yet get me to engage in social media in the future!
I wish Jonathan and the team all the best for their continued success.
