About The Customer
Colorado Internet Solutions is a small web design and SEO agency that focuses on creating marketing programs with budgetary options for their small business clientele. They aim to keep their services affordable without sacrificing quality. Their goal is to keep their clients ahead of the game, while taking into serious consideration the elements that are relevant to site ranking and optimization in their market. Despite being more affordable than their competitors, they offer a results-driven approach and strive to always deliver a return on investment for each client.
The Challenge
Colorado Internet Solutions (CIS), a small web design and SEO agency, was facing a challenge with their existing SEO platform. The platform was not only expensive, costing them nearly $10,000 per year, but it also delivered too much unnecessary information that their clients couldn’t understand. The platform didn’t focus on the niche requirements of local businesses enough and this price was proving hard to justify. CIS also used a separate tool for citation building, and it soon became cumbersome having to deal with multiple platforms for SEO management.
The Solution
CIS found a solution in BrightLocal’s suite of tools. BrightLocal’s less expensive, more friendly, and more locally focused Local Search Rank Checker is a much better fit for CIS and their clients’ needs. The ability to white-label reports means that they can start owning the results they deliver to clients. CIS also use the ranking reports and Citation Tracker to prospect and win new customers. They now make extensive use of Citation Builder to manage local SEO reporting and citations in one place. This all-in-one system makes SEO reporting and citation building easier and more efficient.

The company realized that the fixed infrastructure investment needed to run SAP 24/7, such as data centers, hardware, and support, meant that the per-user cost could be perceived as too high for smaller companies. The challenge was to reduce or eliminate the capital expenditures and implementation costs as much as possible to help reduce the barriers to entry for these smaller companies.

The company's intranet had become a top-down affair with little staff involvement, and employees lacked effective tools for anywhere/anytime communications. Those working remotely had limited access to co-workers and company apps. The main method of collaboration was inefficient email, challenging IT staff to manage a growing store of attachments.
