Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get clients to participate in case studies?▼
Make it easy for them! Offer to write everything, require only 15 minutes of their time for a quote. Incentivize with discounts, free services, or promotion on your channels. Focus on clients who've achieved exceptional results and are naturally enthusiastic.
What if I don't have exact metrics or ROI numbers?▼
Focus on qualitative results and directional improvements. Use phrases like "significantly reduced," "substantially improved," or "streamlined from weeks to days." If possible, survey clients post-project to gather approximate metrics.
Should I use the client's real company name?▼
Always get written permission before using client names and logos. If they can't be named (confidentiality), use descriptors like "Fortune 500 Healthcare Company" or "Mid-Market SaaS Provider." Anonymous case studies still work if details are specific.
How many case studies do I need?▼
Start with 3-5 covering your main client segments or industries. Update them quarterly and add new ones as you achieve notable results. Quality beats quantity - one exceptional case study is worth ten mediocre ones.
