Proof of Performance

When marketing works, it’s a beautiful thing. We work hard every day to make it happen, for all of our clients.

When you are looking for a digital marketing agency, the most important characteristic is their desire and ability to keep seeking the best way to increase your revenue. Kristin Zhivago’s experience as a revenue coach, where she did a number of marketing and sales department turnarounds, taught her that there is no such thing as a “one tool for all” approach.

Every company is different. Its managers, employees, processes, passion, products and services are all different from each other. And, more importantly, their buyers—those who actually ended up buying the product or service—had a unique Mindset when they set out to buy. When they do buy from you, it’s because you had something that they wanted, something that your competitors didn’t or couldn’t offer.

Our daily goal is to understand that Mindset and do everything we can to leverage it for our clients. Appealing to that Mindset with the right promises (and keeping those promises) is where steady, bankable growth comes from.

Company Type: High-end B2C

Our client offers a travel-related service to high-end customers. As you can guess, her business was severely impacted by the worldwide pandemic. A Google Search campaign brought in a steady number of customers, but a newly designed remarketing campaign—where we advertised to people who had already visited her site—resulted in a serious uptick in leads. She’s very happy.

Chat is more important than ever. Customers have come to expect it. So we do everything we can to encourage those conversations, which gives our client the ability to engage in a one-on-one conversation with a potential client, who is already interested enough to engage. Over the course of 2020, even with the travel restrictions imposed by the pandemic, this client was able to chat with 263 very interested prospects.

We turned on a live chat function for our client in May of 2020. Since then, 282 live chats have taken place, coming from a variety of sources. Organic (unpaid) search traffic brings in more than half, with the other main sources being direct (mostly from an email newsletter we send out each month) and paid online advertising.

An important note: The revenue gained from our organic search / content efforts is 10 times the cost of those efforts.

About ServerLIFT

ServerLIFT designs and manufactures lifts specifically designed for data centers. These lifts remove, transport, and install expensive and heavy servers and other data center equipment, able to deliver a 100% safety record. No backs are strained, and no precious equipment is damaged. Moving equipment around is hassle-free. ServerLIFT is the leader in its market.

Zhivago Partners’ Website Redesign

The first goal with this website redesign was to show these sophisticated machines in action. We knew from customer research that the minute IT managers saw one of these data center lifts being used, they wanted one. They could immediately see for themselves how much easier using this lift would be than to try to manually lift a 300-pound server, or using a flimsy lift that wasn’t designed for the purpose. We have also worked diligently on providing thorough answers to buyer questions on the site, via blogs, pages, deep data, and videos.

Our Positive Impact

ServerLIFT now features numerous videos throughout the site, and is also leveraging live chat and an aggressive content and advertising program to increase its market share worldwide. The company has benefitted from the work we have done via:

  • An overall increase in revenue attributable directly to marketing efforts, with a 10x return on investment from content, site, and search marketing efforts alone
  • A site that provides a deep amount of relevant information to data center managers who are looking to reduce manual lifting of equipment
