Tessa Sowry-Osborne | Founder of The Stationer
I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve heard fellow small business owners mention Menekse being an SEO wizard, and when I decided to finally do something about my SEO, her website was my first port of call.
I knew SEO was something I had to work on if I want any organic growth, and despite having the intention to teach myself, I just don’t have any time and didn’t know where to start.
When I received the audit, it was far more than I was expecting for a mini audit. It had clear instructions with a video & fun looking PDF.
It’s too early to say how it’s impacted my business growth, but I have a much better understanding of what’s important when it comes to improving my SEO.
Over the past week, I have completely re-done my website using Menekse’s action plan as a basis and it looks better, is more accessible, and I think is much easier to use.
Sarah Goodwin | Print Designer
Having watched some of Menekse’s free resources, I appreciated her straightforward way of explaining SEO - an area that I am new to.
I knew SEO was important, but I wasn’t sure where to start. It was great to have tailored advice and ideas rather than general SEO knowledge.
I really appreciated having Menekse’s expert eyes on my site, and giving me clear action points to work through.
I found it hard to know where to start with SEO, but this review gave me structure & advice specific to my website which was great.
Melissa Latto | Founder of Nine Angels
I’ve been following Menekse for a while and her name came to mind when I realised my website wasn’t performing like my Etsy and wholesale marketplaces.
I knew changes needed to be made, but I had no idea where to begin. I loved the video, it was really easy to follow for a total newbie to SEO. It was very clear and easy to work through in bite-sized pieces, as well as being really specific to me and my business.
I went full-time in my business last year and am loving learning from Menekse.
Jas Chana | Personal Stylist
I was recommended Menekse’s services by Katie Ramsingh, who told me I should maybe explore working on my SEO.
I love how personable and friendly Menekse is - she listened to what I want, and it was so easy to talk to her and ask questions. My goals were to improve my website, gain more clients, and increase my sales, I’ve taken on Menekse’s advice and can see how these changes will really help me convert clients.
I am trying to include all the main keywords in my blogs, and have noticed how they are starting to attract more visitors to my site.
I really loved chatting with Menekse about how I could improve my website performance. I loved all of her feedback on how I can improve my service pages, and the video that I received was really professional. I have already recommended Menekse’s services to two other business owners.
Katie Ramsingh | Fashion & Beauty Copywriter
The sheer detail of the audit left me flabbergasted.
I wanted to increase my searchability and also get some sort of strategy in place for my SEO goals - but I wanted clarity on what I should tackle first: should I do a blog, or work on keywords? I had no clue.
The audit exceeded my expectations massively and gave me so many actionable tasks to get stuck into to improve my SEO.
I am in the process of updating my website, and Menekse’s insights on customer journeys mean that it’s already looking and sounding much more impressive.
Laura Pedley | Fine Artist
Working with Menekse has been brilliant, she is unbelievably knowledgeable about so many things, and so generous with that knowledge. I've learnt loads from her about how to run a business with heart and that is totally focused on the people that business serves.
My business has grown and grown! I have started selling artwork on a regular basis, built up a community around my email list and have regular contact with my collectors, and am starting to further my reach on social media and Pinterest. I feel like my business finally has some momentum, and that I have a plan going forward as to how to keep growing that momentum.
Getting my head around marketing my artwork was a real stumbling block, but working with Menekse has really broken this down for me into manageable pieces of work that are really applicable in my industry.
My hope was to be able to build a marketing strategy that freed me up to do what I really love, creating my original artwork, rather than one that took up more time! And that is exactly what Menekse has helped me do, making marketing really accessible and much less overwhelming. I feel so much better equipped to market my work these days and it's much less daunting thanks to all her help and guidance.
As well as being an absolute marketing genius, Menekse is just lovely to work with, so kind and so patient with all my questions! She always goes the extra mile to help solve any problem, and you can totally rely on her. She's a dream!
Jordan Irwin | Silversmith & Jewellery Maker at Jordan Lily Designs
Before working together, my website was up and running but had very little traction. A lot of the traffic was self-directed from Instagram which meant that I felt like I had to be 'on' Insta 24/7 to be getting results. My email marketing consisted of monthly newsletters, which were fine, but not really converting into sales! And my SEO was pretty non-existent! Always something on the to-do list.
I really wanted to see some traction with SEO generating traffic to my website so that there was something in place for the long-term marketing strategies.
I've been working through the SEO course, and have had a 1-to-1 day of Voxer with Menekse. I've gone from knowing very little about SEO at all to feeling much more confident and knowledgeable about best practice for my website.
Menekse is a great teacher and works really hard to provide tailored help and support. Her advice for getting my website ship-shape and approaching my marketing strategy has been invaluable!
The biggest change is seeing my own website take off! It now massively out-performs my other sales channels on marketplaces every month and has regular sales - yay!
I've been tracking my stats for SEO - in the space of a year, my impressions went from 8.25k to 57.9k, and clicks have jumped from 131 to 591 clicks a month! It's so encouraging to see these!!
I've also seen my 'focus keywords' Christian Jewellery position jump from 39.2 to 9.3 - first page of Google baby! And my email marketing is sitting at 25-35% of my monthly income on my website.
The Voxer days, both for the SEO course and the 1-to-1 day I did are so great!! It's so helpful to get quick and specific advice and help, and I think the walkie talkie format works really well. I'd literally pay for a slot every week, Menekse is so supportive!
Katie Chappell | Live Illustrator & Co-Founder of The Good Ship Illustration
All I can say is PHENOMENAAAAAAL.
I already knew a tiny bit about SEO and I'd had a bit of success writing blog posts etc. but Menekse took me from 'hmm I think this is working' to 'Woah. Ok this is definitely working.'
To be honest, I just wanted to show up on Google a bit more. I had no idea of the potential SEO would have for my live illustration business. When I first took the course I was getting a couple of enquiries a week. Now I get a few a day.
My business has pretty much quadrupled, my clients list is embarrassing to read out because I feel like I'm showing off - and all of these big global companies found me via Google.
It makes me feel like social media is an optional extra. I could leave Instagram and I know my live illustration / graphic recording business would be totally unaffected.
Everything was broken down into super easy steps, but Menekse doesn’t shy away from teaching ALL OF THE THINGS with SEO. I loved that.
Liz Mosley | Graphic Designer | Host of the Building Your Brand Podcast
Menekse is so knowledgeable and always full of so many ideas. I always really appreciate her insight and feedback, and it has helped me grow my business so much over the last year!
Before working with Menekse, I just had no idea what I was doing when it came to marketing. I knew bits and pieces, but had no strategy and was not intentional with it all.
My goal was to grow my business and streamline it and that has definitely happened. I am marketing myself more effectively than ever before, and my business has grown more in the last year than ever before.
I doubled my income, launched an online course, started growing my email list and started a podcast. All thanks to encouragement and advice from Menekse.
She is straight talking and gives really down to earth advice, as well as pushing me (in a good way) to do things that I had never really thought I could do before.
Sam Hänni | CEO of SwissMadeMarketing & SEOcockpit
From the first moment, I knew I had the privilege of working with someone who has incredible experience, knowledge and talent in all areas of online marketing and entrepreneurship.
In everything Menekse teaches and does, one sees the footprint of her years of experience as a serial entrepreneur and skilled online marketer.
When we first started working together, I was the only "go to" person in my company with the most experience and knowledge in the field of online marketing. This was a huge struggle because there were so many questions I didn't have answers to myself!
My goal was to grow a product we had developed in our company, together with someone who has more knowledge in the field of online marketing than myself.
On our first call I mentioned a launch goal I had in mind for the project. The answer I expected (and the answer I would have received from any other marketer) was "are you out of your mind?!". But you said: "yes, let's go for it!".
This set free an incredible amount of energy and motivation. And I felt this during all of our calls.
I was incredibly fortunate to be able to work with Menekse for almost half a year. During this time we reached far more than just the goals we had set for the initial project. Menekse provided me with knowledge, insights and mindset that has had a positive ripple effect until this day!
