Our hours of operation are from 8am to 5pm Monday through Friday. However, in the case of an after-hours emergency we offer our resource help center. help.energyhill.com is our support team’s ticketing system. This allows you to be in constant contact with our team of specialists. When a support ticket is submitted it is sent to the correct team member. Our standard SLA is as follows:
Our thorough process allows for you to rest at ease in even the most stressful situations. In some cases, if the question is web related, for example, the ticket will be run through QA (Quality Assurance). Our full QA process is a thorough undertaking. QA is typically done for an entire section of a website, and in multiple viewports (mobile, tablet, desktop, and more…).
Below is our SLA policy that sets the standard for high performance for our team and partner relationships. From 2015-2016 we received a 97% approval level of support. From 2016-2017 this number increased to 98%, and in 2017-2018, we have received a 99% approval rating. We don’t do this work for the ratings… we do this for our partners and clients cause we love it. As an agency, our culture is to help you and your team not have to worry about the minutia. Whether it is setting up a new style for your links, or fixing an annoying code issue that is now altering bounce rate, or updating a call tracking number in your brand video — we enjoy helping!
