If you want to see real results from your search efforts, it's time to stop relying on reactive, uncoordinated tactics. We bring a much-needed layer of strategic governance to ensure we’re identifying & attacking opportunities that drive new customers.
We’re your team of ecommerce growth advisors, focused on maximizing the performance of your catalog through SEO & SEM. As we work to increase conversions and lower acquisition costs, we’ll stay coordinated on who’s doing what and why.
We develop content that meets customers during the shopping journey; aiding their research, addressing pain points, and comparing options to push them to your product pages.
SEO wasn't a channel that was meaningfully impacting Thread Logic's business. That is, not until Uproer came on board. Since then, organic revenue has grown both dramatically and sustainably, adding another growth driver to their channel mix.
We prove our value before you commit to hiring us on retainer. We begin our work together with a 1-month strategy development project. It’s our chance to show you what we can do and to earn your buy-in. Then, with the strategy in hand, you can be confident in your decision to partner with us long-term.
Driving ROI and cultivating a trusted partnership is our client retention strategy. Not long-term contracts. We work collaboratively, relying on strong communication and transparency, so that you understand what we’re doing and why.
We’re transparent with our pricing, like we are with everything else. We’d love to chat with you about the return you can expect from this investment. Get started with a 30-minute introductory call.

“During our first conversation, it became pretty clear to me they knew what they were doing. It was clear to me that they had integrity.”
These are list of questions that come up most often. If you’re not seeing what you need, please reach out. Our friendly team will be quick to answer any questions you have.
All client engagements are led by at least one senior member of our team who gets involved as early as the proposal stage. They are supported by 1 to 3 Analysts who keep tasks humming. So, the faces you see in the sales process are going to be some of the same people you work with once you come on board.
It’s also worth mentioning that we do not have dedicated account or project managers who sit between the clients and the subject matter experts who are responsible for the work. Instead, our clients work directly with the people who are setting the strategy and executing it. In this structure, we find that communication is more effective and the work gets done faster.
Yes, and if you fall into this category, we believe you shouldn’t consider any agency that doesn’t have strong experience in this area. Large ecommerce websites require deep expertise in crawling, indexing, structured data, product feed management, and the ability to manage complex ad campaigns. Above all else, your search marketing team needs experience driving optimizations at scale, and that’s what you’ll get with Uproer.
Our team has worked with some of the US’s largest retail brands whose websites are composed of hundreds-of-thousands to millions of web pages.
Onboarding is a critical step in our 1-month Strategy Development phase and where we ask for your active participation. We’ll ask you to come to the onboarding meeting prepared to share your goals, bring us up to speed on past performance, educate us on your audience & competition, and enlighten us as to the challenges you’ve faced in search marketing, among other discussion topics. We have have interest in scheduling follow-up conversations with other stakeholders in your organization that we’ll ask you to help coordinate. There will also be practical requests like gaining access to your media and measurement accounts.
Mid-way through the Strategy Development phase, we’ll schedule a check-in meeting. You won’t need to prepare anything ahead of time. This meeting is our opportunity to share our initial findings and strategic direction. We’ll be interested in getting your feedback so we can focus our efforts in the right areas for the remainder of the project. Our final meeting during the Strategy Development phase will be the presentation meeting.
Throughout the project, questions may come up that we’ll compile and send your way. We ask that you be prompt in your reply so that we can stick to the 1-month timeline.
As we move out of the Strategy Development phase and into our ongoing retainer, we’ll schedule bi-weekly, 30-minute meetings. Our objectives for these meetings is to build two-way accountability to keep tasks on track, share data-driven insights that may influence us to pivot our strategy, and to keep all parties aligned on our strategic priorities.
Here’s how our time is spent in a typical 30-minute meeting:
5 Minutes: Get business updates from client
5 Minutes: Share performance insights
15 Minutes: Discuss in-flight strategic initiatives and recent learnings that may influence a course adjustment
5 Minutes: Align on in-progress and upcoming tasks
Results, of course, vary by industry and where you’re starting from. We most often see significant results against our primary KPIs in the 3- to 6-month range. At this point, the progress we’ve made against our strategic initiatives has had time to take hold and produce measurable results.
There are search-specific factors that may affect that near-term timeline that are beyond any agency’s control. Like, search engine algorithm updates impacting SEO performance or learning periods impacting SEM performance. Our strategies are intended to drive long-term, sustainable performance so any short-term obstacles end up being blips along our path to growth.
No. We stay true to our niche in search marketing. In all of our engagements, we work in close coordination with our clients’ internal or external design & development resources. If today you don’t have reliable resources in those areas, we can recommend fantastic partners that we’ve had experience working with.
From the time our contract is signed, we can usually get kicked off within 2 to 3 weeks. We’ll be sure to bring a proposed start date to our proposal meeting so you know how soon we can begin our work together.
The Strategy Development phase, our first month working together, is under its own SOW. Signing on for that project does not obligate you to work with us beyond it. The Strategy Development phase is your opportunity to receive a clear strategy and gauge how well we work together before committing to an ongoing engagement.
Under our ongoing retainer, we ask for an annual commitment with 60 day terms. This is to make sure we’re working with clients who are committed to driving long-term SEO & SEM growth.
We’re located in the Court International building in Saint Paul, Minnesota.
