Here's what they have to say:
While helping a green tech startup to develop their brand strategy I realised they needed some well written SEO content. The tech was quite complex, but Countdown Creative did a great job of researching the sector, company and technology and created bespoke content. The client was extremely happy and I highly recommend Al Gibson to anyone who is looking to develop content that is going to get you up the search rankings, resonate with your audience and build your brand.
I considered writing blogs however I don't have the time or creative flair. Thankfully, this is where Al shines! He started by interviewing me and he had clearly done his research. I was impressed when he managed to get the articles picked up in the local media. Given that I operate in a franchise, Al was happy to spend time with our Head Office team to ensure consistency with our brand. The articles have also been useful for our Google page and social media. I happily recommend Al and Countdown Creative.
I have used Countdown Creative for copyediting my client’s manuscripts. Finding the right copywriter to complement my services was imperative. Countdown Creative has provided the best professional service I could ask for. Working to deadlines, and giving me regular updates along the way,, Al Gibson has produced amazing work that my clients have been bowled over at. I would n't hesitate to recommend Al and Countdown Creative to all my clients and my network.
We're loving the SEO and copywriting work that Countdown Creative are doing for Cornerstone Vision Ltd. They've put the Plymouth Chronicle where it should be in online searches for #newspaperadvertising in #plymouth - right up where we belong!
Countdown Creative did a fantastic job with the copy for my new website. They have a style of writing that is simple and easy to understand, even explaining complex services.I would not hesitate in recommending Countdown Creative.
