Case Studies

Client:  Wayzata Dental

Wayzata Dental approached us with the goal of leveraging the web to drive more clients to their local dental practice.  After evaluating their business, determining their benefits and unique selling proposition and target audience, we recommended our Website Promotion Program.  When we began working with them, their search engine rankings were non-existent.  After just two months, they began appearing in the search engine results on the first page for their primary keywords.

Client Testimonial: 
“We’re On Page One of Google!  I can’t begin to tell you what a difference your service has made in our business.  Since we started with you in September of last year, we have seen dramatic results in terms of search engine ranking for our primary keywords.  By using your web development and promotion service, we’ve gone from not ranking in the search engines at all, to ranking in positions # 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 AND 10 on the first page of Google!  Many of our new clients have commented that they found us by searching on Google.  Thanks for the great service!”
- Brian Denn, Office Manager, Wayzata Dental

Client:  Harmonious Life, Inc. d/b/a Janet Roper, Animal Communicator

Janet came to us with a desire to build an online presence.  She had a website, but was not leveraging it to the extent that it could be.  She was nowhere to be found in the search engine results and she was not driving traffic to her site via the web whatsoever.  We performed a thorough Strategic Marketing Analysis for Janet and uncovered several benefits to her service that she had not previously realized.  We launched a full-scale Website Promotion Program for Janet which included the launch of her popular blog, Talk2TheAnimals.net.  Within 45 days she began ranking on the first page of the search engine results for her primary keywords and she continues to see an increase in visitors to her website and her blog – and new clients – as a result.

Client Testimonial:
“The Strategic Marketing Process we went through helped me to clarify the benefits I offer to my clients, and enabled me to better articulate them to my prospects.  By identifying my ideal audience, I’m now able to target them specifically with my marketing messages.  This process has demystified technology for me, and has given me achievable, step-by-step guidelines that will help me find new customers, make my own service offerings more attractive, and drive new revenue for my company.”
- Janet Roper, Founder & President, Harmonious Life, Inc.

Client:  PillowGram™

When Nancy Sundeen created the idea for PillowGram, she knew she needed a website as equally creative as her product to support her new business.  She also needed a strong brand identity that would be easily remembered in the marketplace, and correspond to the creativity inherent in her new product line. 
We created an entire brand identity for PillowGram, and a completely custom e-commerce website for PillowGram based on our Content Management System, which allows Nancy the flexibility to easily edit her own website whenever she wants to add new fabrics or products to her growing business, or make any other types of changes.  Because each PillowGram is customized with a personalized message, the entire ordering process needed to be custom built to Nancy’s unique specifications.  The result are powerful marketing materials and a site that not only looks professional, but has the features and functionality Nancy needs to grow her business well into the future.

Client Testimonial:
“Our custom website is just beautiful!  Not only did you create the perfect logo for PillowGram, but we continually receive compliments on how professional and easy-to-use our new website is for people placing custom orders.  Our web business has truly taken off with the launch of our new site, and our marketing materials have given us a strong brand identity – we couldn’t have done it without you!”
- Nancy Sundeen, Founder of PillowGram™

Aqua Par Lifestyles 

Aqua Par Lifestyles builds gorgeous water features and waterfalls, rain gardens and synthetic golf systems for their clients.  The problem was, you wouldn’t have known it looking at their website!  Created years ago, their site was dated looking and did not reflect the professionalism, integrity and experience Glenn and his team at Aqua Par have, nor the beautiful work they do for their customers.  Glenn and Linda wanted a site that would accurately reflect the work they do, and build a sense of trust with their web visitors. Starting with our “Unleashing Your USP(SM)” process, we worked with Glenn and Linda to truly understand their business goals, vision and mission of providing top-notch, quality service combined with education, to every one of their customers.  Building from that foundation, we were able to design and develop a site that highlights the beauty of their work, and encourages their web visitors to contact them for more information!

Client Testimonial:

"Just a quick note to say THANK YOU for designing and completing our new website, www.aquaparlife-styles.com and blog, www.par2ponds.com.  Small Business Mavericks did a wonderful job in implementing
our goals, especially in creating sites that represent Aqua Par Lifestyles business goals and mission to our customers! We are very pleased with the work that you have done and will recommend your work to our friends and colleagues! We also received our first work as a direct result of the new website this week.
The customer called wanting a pond shutdown, then complemented us on our website and said that he would need to "add on" to his pond next year! He was very impressed with our work, (He wanted his pond to look
like the ponds in our picture galleries)! He was also very impressed with the customer testimonial DVD we have on the site! So, THANK YOU again Caroline. We really appreciate everything you have done to make
our new sites a reality!
Glenn Koppin, Founder & President, Aqua Par Lifestyles
