Common questions
What does StandOUT Edge actually do?
We help small professional service firms in competitive markets boost their biz appeal. This makes it easier to win clients and grow.
Biz appeal is the impression a business makes on prospects. We strengthen it by refining messages, offers, assets, and processes. This helps prospects build trust. It also makes it clearer what sets a firm apart.
We don’t offer ads, social media management, or SEO.
Are you a marketing agency?
No. The work we do is more like sales (turning interested people into clients) rather than marketing (creating interest).
Who do you work with?
We work with all types of small consultancies, agencies, and expert-led services.
We focus on businesses with fewer than 20 employees. This includes both new and established businesses.
But you don’t have experience in my industry. How can you help?
The process we use applies to all professional services. You bring knowledge of your clients, services, and industry. We bring the process and experience. It is a collaboration, not a done-for-you service.
How involved do I need to be?
Think of this as a collaboration rather than a done-for-you service. We will need your input on your industry, business, and clients. The process cannot be completed without your involvement.
Can you prove it works?
StandOUT Edge is a new business, so we do not yet have many past clients. What we can say is that the strategy we use is based on proven business principles: offering more value than competitors, strengthening differentiation, building trust, and addressing fears.
Additionally, we are tapping into the trend that people are using information online to choose products and services before making contact with the seller. We help you to capitalise on that trend and differentiate yourself from the competition by providing a wealth of helpful information online.
What industries do you operate in?
We work with all professional service industries, including consulting, tech, design, marketing, legal, accounting, and finance.
Do you work with clients outside Australia?
Yes. We're based in in Australia but support companies around the world.
