Before and After

One of our favorite things to see is a great before and after story for websites. We recently created a brand new website for Beltway HVAC, and we think the pictures speak for themselves!

The campaign for Beltway was an immediate success, including a 12% Organic ranking increase with the new launch.
Conversion rate is up over 5% since the beginning of the year for their PPC campaign. Plus, user engagement on the website has increased across desktop, mobile, and tablet since launching the new site.

Partnership with Gary Vaynerchuk and the Sasha Group

We’re very excited about our continued partnership with Gary Vaynerchuk and the Sasha Group here at RYNO. This strategic partnering has allowed us to gain access to the invaluable educating, consulting, and marketing services available from the Sasha Group to help RYNO and our clients succeed.

By The Numbers

Lowest CPL

The lowest Cost Per Lead (CPL) to date this year goes to Burkholders, who were able to achieve a $5.17 CPL in January. If you’re interested in knowing your CPL but don’t know how to calculate it, we can help! Simply add up your total marketing spend, add up your new leads for the month, and divide your marketing spend by new leads earned.

Highest Lead Conversion Rate

So far, the highest conversion rate achieved by one of our clients in 2020 was 30.23% by Marklein Plumbing! Lead conversion rate measures the percentage of new visitors to your website that converted into a new lead opportunity. To calculate your lead conversion rate, simply take the total number of lead opportunities generated that month and divide that by the total number of new visitors to the site in the same month. For example, 20 leads/100 unique (new) visits = 20% CVR. (EX. 20 leads/100 unique (new) visits = 20% CVR).

Employee Spotlight: Chad Mueller

“I’m Chad Mueller and I joined the stampede in 2015 as a Front End Web Developer. Since then, I have had the opportunity to fulfill a variety of responsibilities for our team including website and system creation, automation, server infrastructure management, and training.

What I enjoy most about working with RYNO is how painless decision-making is when all that you have to do is think to yourself, “which path will have the greatest impact toward growth for our client?”. Knowing that my actions are always supported by every member of the team when this is the driving force behind them provides me with the confidence to make an impact each and every day. After all, the mission at RYNO is clear, we exist to help others grow their businesses above everything else and that is what I am here for.

My journey with RYNO began after working for 6 years in the technology space at GoDaddy.com, the largest domain and hosting provider in the world. While this ramped up my career, my passion for the internet began long beforehand as I spent my adolescent years working with web technologies and tinkering online.

Although I do spend a lot of my free time exploring the latest in web engineering, when I am not training robots you will likely find me exercising at the gym, hiking, and cycling around the sensational Arizona scenery. I enjoy everything from hackathons to spartan races and have tried just about every taco shop in town.”

“RYNO is a small, but powerful company who is able to customize to the clients needs and give one on one attention.”

Misogi Journey

The Misogi Journey is a RYNO benefit for employees, where we provide up to $1000 to team members to do something they’ve always wanted to do. It can be experiential or learning a new skill…the only rule is it CANNOT be something you would typically do.

Misogi Journey Spotlight: Paul Redman

“So, when we initially rolled out the Misogi benefit to our team, I didn’t know what exactly would qualify for a Misogi experience. At that point, I was not really clear on what I would choose. Naturally, I wanted to lean toward some sort of travel & endurance type of event. But here is the catch, I would NORMALLY do something like that, so that would not qualify. That is the beauty of the Misogi, you have to dig deep to really consider something that you would not normally do. In casual conversation, someone used the analogy to describe the Misogi as “Like Paul learning to Hip Hop Dance”, and so my Misogi was gifted to me by public opinion as an example of a good Misogi experience.

Let me set the stage for you. I have hired my daughter’s Hip Hop Dance teacher for private lessons. He has agreed to work with me directly following her class. So here I am, in my normal pick up line outside of the classroom waiting with the other parents and watching our daughters finish their class. Immediately after the class, I walk in. I am already drenched in sweat with nerves. There is a two way mirror in the classroom, and on the other side are dozens of parents waiting for their children to finish the other classes. I can only imagine the confusion and I walk IN to an empty classroom, shake hands with the instructor and stand there awkwardly as he asks me what kind of music I want to listen to. At this point, I am horrified, and I have not even started dancing yet. The next thing the instructor says is, “Ok, let’s just start by bouncing a little”. I respond, “bounce a little?”! I could not even comprehend what that meant. So I just started bouncing. Like a mix between a baby bunny and a giraffe. It was not pretty.”
