Anna O'dell's Review Sourced from Google
Torgerson Design Partners has had an incredibly experience using Lasso Up thus far. All of our numbers/metrics are going up and we have had more leads/calls off our website than ever before. I have been impressed with their professionalism but also how geniune the whole team is. So thankful for their hard work!
Bryant Ballman's Review Sourced from Google
We’ve been in business for over 20 years, and I can honestly say this has been the best experience I’ve had working with an SEO and web development company. We switched to Lasso Up after a frustrating year with another provider where we spent the same amount but saw little to no real results. The difference has been night and day. Within the first quarter alone, Lasso Up designed and launched a new website for us, created a new logo, and—most importantly—we’re actually generating quality leads now. Their approach feels much more personalized. I don’t feel like just another account number. Communication has been excellent, the process is organized, and their team makes sure everything on the backend is handled properly while also guiding me on what’s needed from my side. Dylan, who manages our account, has been phenomenal, and the entire team has been professional, responsive, and easy to work with. It’s clear they understand how to market construction businesses effectively and don’t overload their account managers like larger firms tend to do. Making the switch to Lasso Up was one of the best business decisions we’ve made. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for real results and a team that genuinely cares about your success

Molina Katherine's Review Sourced from Google
The SEO side feels long term and structured, it is presented like a system you build and improve over time, which feels more trustworthy than shortcut promises.
Bradley Weight's Review Sourced from Google
The PPC messaging feels grounded in real optimization work, like the focus is on tightening targeting, improving relevance, and steadily pushing performance instead of chasing quick hype wins.
Jackson Linda's Review Sourced from Google
The site makes PPC feel approachable, it is easier to see how things connect from strategy to execution without feeling overwhelmed.

Steve Rice's Review Sourced from Google
As a client of Animus Digital, we could not have found a better company for our business and marketing needs. Their ability to see marketing from a holistic standpoint is unmatched, and yet be laser focused on the channels that produce the greatest returns. Jon and the Animus team are amazing to work with; this group is phenomenal at everything they do.
Jim Moss's Review Sourced from Google
Working with Jon Grogan and the team at Animus Digital has been a game changer for my business. They didn’t just build a website they helped me clarify how I show up, how I communicate value, and how I engage the right clients. From day one, Jon has approached every conversation with insight, intentionality, and a deep understanding of both business and people. Beyond the website, they’ve consulted with me on multiple marketing initiatives and recently built out a leadership assessment that has become a key tool in how I connect and serve new clients. It’s not just functional, it’s strategic, thoughtful, and aligned with the direction I’m taking my business. What sets Animus apart is their ability to combine creativity with clarity. They don’t just make things look good, they make them work. If you’re serious about growing your business and want a team that can think with you, not just for you, I highly recommend Jon and Animus Digital.
Seth Patterson's Review Sourced from Google
Animus has been helping our company transition our traditional marketing to a more digital platform. Jon is systematic and professional in his approach. We are seeing results and excited to continue the journey. Additionally, they helped modernize our website for a more polished, modern look. I highly recommend.

Shavane Morrison's Review Sourced from Google
I’ve had a fantastic experience working with RankFuse, especially with their social media manager, Lauren Underwood. RankFuse has been instrumental in helping me elevate my social media marketing and paid social ads strategy. From the start, Lauren took the time to understand my business goals and target audience, and she developed a tailored strategy that’s been driving impressive results. Lauren’s expertise and hands-on approach have made a huge difference in our social media presence and ad performance. Not only did she manage our campaigns with precision, but she also provided regular, detailed reports and insightful recommendations to keep improving our results. I appreciate how proactive and responsive she is—always ready to adjust strategies based on what’s working and what needs tweaking. Thanks to RankFuse and Lauren, my business has seen increased engagement and lead generation through social platforms. I couldn’t be happier with the partnership and highly recommend them to anyone looking to boost their social media marketing efforts!
