Hi Joshua,
We’re really sorry that, despite what we see as all the good and constructive conversations and the adjustments we made to the (mutual) way of working, the primarily negative feeling on your side still seems to be the dominant factor. Sharing that feeling in a review is, of course, completely your right, and we respect that as Seeders. That said, we’d like to add a few points for the sake of context and a complete picture, so that all readers also know our side:
- At your request, we paused our specific SEO/GEO consultancy and link-building work in December 2025. We were flexible in scaling those activities down immediately, even though the quality of the link building was not in question. We didn’t hide behind the agreed notice period, and we offered financial compensation for part of the work that had been carried out, because we wanted to continue the relationship with you and Voja Travel—also given your wish to have our two Digital PR campaigns proceed in the first quarter of 2026.
- It’s important to mention that Voja Travel decided at the end of last year to carry out a website redesign/migration project—a project in which Seeders did not play a primary role. Pausing our work at Voja Travel’s request, focused on organic visibility and authority, undoubtedly had an impact on the current organic positions and rankings, which was therefore a choice made by them.
- Seeders always responded professionally and quickly, and adjusted in the meantime where possible. During our internal international quarterly meeting at the end of January, we gave you the floor to share your feedback with all team members. This was done openly and with full transparency—where you also clearly mentioned the positive aspects of our relationship, alongside the areas you felt needed improvement and your motivation for wanting to stop.
- The two Digital PR campaigns that continued after SEO and link building were halted were, to the best of our knowledge, carried out to everyone’s satisfaction. It’s a shame that this isn’t clearly reflected in your review.
- In May, you came back to Seeders in the air with (again) the question of what compensation Seeders would be willing to offer, while in January we had already reached agreement on how Seeders would handle this matter, including a clearly agreed outcome and your written confirmation that it would be “done.” In response to your email, Seeders replied professionally and sent information to your additional request for clarification; after that, we didn’t receive any further substantive response from you. We find it regrettable that we then have to read this review online—both on this platform and on other online review platforms. From our perspective, this is far from ideal for Seeders, but we can’t do much against it if experiences are shared in this way. As a company, we will have to accept that.
We wish you and Voja Travel all the best, and we hope that—among other things—the organic results will soon show an upward trend again. Voja Travel is a great company, with good and fun employees whom we also enjoyed working with, and we’ve always found your personal story very inspiring. Wishing you success in the future!
