How it's going
The company has experienced "explosive growth," going from zero to nearly a million dollars in revenue within a year for CadenceSEO, and increasing revenue by close to a million each year, pacing close to four million this year. They started with just three people and now have close to 30 employees. The business was challenging to start, but being remote during COVID-19 actually worked to their advantage as everyone was remote. They work primarily with B2B clients, helping them solve complex problems and become leaders in their space through SEO. They don't build new websites but optimize existing ones. They also offer ancillary services like paid search. They focus on understanding what Google is doing and proving their clients are leaders in their respective fields. A common mistake they see in small businesses is chasing "shiny objects" and wasting money on website redesigns that can damage their online presence. They also emphasize that cutting the marketing budget is a mistake as growth is crucial. For localized businesses, they advise focusing on website quality, Google My Business setup, location pages, and avoiding keyword stuffing.
Why Revenued
Christie and Kevin heard about Revenued through an email. They became customers around August or September of last year. The application process was easy, and Christie had no hesitation connecting their bank with Plaid, viewing it as more secure than emailing bank statements. They primarily use the Revenued Flex Line for cash availability. Kevin uses the Revenued dashboard frequently to manage their money and available funds. He would choose The Revenued Flex Line over any other working capital source and has even used it to refinance expensive cash injections from other MCA companies. Lastly, they praise Revenued for its guaranteed fund availability, unlike other sources with delays or declines.
