WordPress Website Design Review from Shellsea Moala
I am very pleased with our website. They really captured what we wanted and we don’t have anything bad to say about them. They were prompt with communication and for a small business, gave us a really good deal on our website.
WordPress Website Design Review from Gaston Magrinat
The team is personable. The visual design is professional. When the engagement was going smoothly, communication was responsive and the relationship was positive. That is the full extent of what I can recommend.$16,610 paid across a website build and eight-month SEO programme. When the structural failures emerged commercial content hidden from search engines from day one, a broken contact form for four months, core deliverables marked complete in their own system that had never been done the pattern became consistent and never changed. Friendly responses. Reassurance. Deferral. Not in scope. Next month.When I submitted a formal nine-section evidence package drawn from BRJ's own contracts and internal records, their response was to propose continuing the retainer at $995 per month to complete the outstanding contracted work. Every item in that proposal was already in the original contract. That proposal was their own written admission that eight months of billing had not delivered what was contracted.When I declined and requested a refund, their formal written response claimed the Scope of Work was fully executed. Their own internal documents list the same deliverables as outstanding in April 2026 that were marked complete throughout the engagement. Both documents are BRJ's. Both cannot be true.Not one specific failure was acknowledged. Not one item of evidence was addressed.Mistakes happen in every agency engagement. What defines an agency is what they do when mistakes are documented and presented. This agency's answer across every avenue, verbal and written was to engage with none of it.Before signing, ask specifically what accountability looks like when contracted work is not delivered. That answer matters more than anything in the sales process.
WordPress Website Design Review from Jason Kremers
Working with Big Red Jelly was awesome. Very engaging and collaborative, I felt confident in their team throughout the process, and from week 1, was blown away on the speed of progress. Stephen Sobisky is a wizard on website development! Also, I have been very impressed post-launch with their responsiveness to support requests or questions with further tweaks.

Web Design Review from Max Golovan
We hired Traffic Dojo for our website, SEO, and social media marketing. They designed, developed, configured and launched a new website for us. The project began with understanding requirements, doing wireframes and prototyping. Once we approved the workflows, wireframes, and mockups, the actual work began from their side. In couple of weeks a functional version was ready with dummy content for user testing. Improvements were made as per our guidelines and responsiveness were tested along side the testing. Final version of site was made live in another 2-3 weeks time after our approval. SEO work was started and mapped every month.
Digital Marketing Review from Austin Arthur
We hired Traffic Dojo to help with SEO services and manage our Google ads efficiently, Our main goals were to make our website visible and help achieve our business marketing goals as well. We took the help of Traffic Dojo to get experts on board who can help us with our ultimate goal. With their help, we were able to make our website appear higher in SERPs organically. We ran Google Ads to promote some of our services, but the rest of the website was optimized to rank organically. They used a lot of methods and it took time, but in the end, it worked. Traffic Dojo gave us a timeline and they delivered within that.
Web Design Review from Rae Felte
Traffic Dojo built our website from scratch using Craft. When I first talked to them, We spent almost an hour talking, and they answered my questions. I knew what I wanted, but I didn't know how to get there, so Traffic Dojo told me what they thought. After our first conversation, they made a proposal and mailed it to me. They walked me through the project and what to expect. Then, they put together a platform and sent it for review. The website was an information page and also, users could contact us through email to send information. Traffic Dojo knew what they were doing. They listened to what we wanted and made it work. Overall, they were good at their job, and we made an excellent team.

SEO Review from Leonard Pulig
Would highly recommend working with GR0 for all your SEO needs. Their team has been extremely easy to work with and we value our partnership very much. Their deep understanding of SEO has helped create a winning strategy for increasing our organic rankings for a range of keywords. They have been responsive, honest, and have delivered the results we were looking for.
SEO Review from Oliver Walsh
Couldn't recommend these guys more. They are smart, responsive, logical, deeply knowledgable and always go above and beyond. The world of SEO is not straightforward and we interviewed many firms before choosing GR0 - and we couldn't be happier with our partnership.
SEO Review from Benjamin Smith
The Gr0 team is the best SEO team my team has worked with. We went through four other agencies before finding our home with Gr0. In just a few months, the Gr0 team has totally re-architected our content and generated dozens of backlinks and press mentions for us. They also got us ranked for hundreds of keywords in that same time frame. The Gr0 account team is highly communicative and their results are phenomenal. I highly recommend Gr0 to all of my friend's brands given their success with us.

The corporate atmosphere is very positive, welcoming, and empowering. I highly recommend this company as it is a community that looks out for one another and wants everyone to succeed!My supervisors were supportive and took the time to teach me everything in the department I was interning for. The experience was more than I expected and allowed me the freedom to develop new skills. Thank you, TBSMO, for your guidance and supervision during my internship.

I had the opportunity to intern for Today's Business this past semester, and it was a great experience! I learned the fundamentals of search engine marketing and was able to gain valuable industry experience through my internship. Raj was a supportive mentor who is clearly dedicated to his work. I would recommend Today's Business to other students looking for marketing internships, in addition to companies looking for a hardworking digital marketing agency that is results-oriented.

Benjamin BrownMedia's Review Sourced from Google
James was a pleasure to work with through the Real Defense affiliate program.He was responsive, professional, and easy to communicate with. When we had questions around campaign performance, traffic quality, conversions, renewals, reversals, invoices, or reporting, James was always willing to help and explain things clearly.What I appreciated most was that James did not treat the relationship as purely transactional. He looked at the data, shared feedback, and tried to help us understand how to improve campaign performance. He was direct when something needed to be addressed, but always fair and constructive.From a partner perspective, James was reliable, knowledgeable, and transparent. He understood both the advertiser side and the affiliate partner side, which made him very easy to work with.I would be happy to work with James again and would recommend Affiliate Manager Expert to any company looking for experienced, hands-on affiliate program management!
GoClickGo Marketing Inc.'s Review Sourced from Google
We’ve worked with James Nardell for many years as an affiliate partner in the Real Defense / iolo affiliate program, and he has consistently stood out as one of the better affiliate managers we’ve dealt with.James is responsive, reliable, and practical. When questions or issues come up, he does not just give vague answers or pass things off. He takes the time to look into the details, explains things clearly, and follows up properly.What we appreciate most is that James understands both sides of affiliate management: the commercial side of growing a program and the technical side that matters to publishers, including tracking, reporting, attribution, landing pages, and commission visibility. That makes a big difference when you are trying to manage traffic and make informed decisions as a partner.From our experience, James is professional, straightforward, and easy to work with. We would gladly recommend him to any company looking for an experienced affiliate manager who knows how to support partners and manage an affiliate program properly.

Social Media Marketing Review from Igor Priven MD
This is just a few examples of things i experienced: 1) the website was launched with tons of mistakes including simple spelling typos. It took weeks for them to fix it despite me pointing to errors. It looked like there was no quality control whatsoever, 2) marketing campaign was a total disaster. Every time a change was planned to be made, it took weeks and my multiple reminders to do what was planned to be done, 3) text message campaign went live with deadly glitches such as broken links

US-based agencies typically charge $100-$150 per hour. Many companies also work on monthly retainers, with pricing increasing as services expand to include recruitment, creative production, and ongoing optimization.
Here’s the estimated total monthly expenses for hiring an affiliate marketing company:
Key factors to consider when choosing an affiliate marketing agency include:
The two terms are often used together, but they serve different purposes and follow distinct performance models:
| Criteria | Affiliate Marketing | Influencer Marketing |
| Primary goal | Drive sales, leads, and measurable conversions | Build brand awareness, credibility, and audience trust |
| Compensation model | Commission-based; affiliates earn only when a conversion happens | Fixed, upfront payments for content creation |
| Performance tracking | Uses affiliate links and analytics tools to track clicks, conversions, and revenue | Relies on social media metrics such as reach, impressions, and engagement |
| Brand control | Brands typically have limited control over how affiliates promote their links | Brands provide defined creative guidelines that influencers are expected to follow |
| Cost structure | Performance-based with lower upfront risk | Requires upfront spend regardless of results |
No, brands do not need an existing affiliate program before hiring an agency. Many companies work with agencies specifically to set up and launch an affiliate program from scratch.
While a pre-existing program isn’t required, you’ll get the most out of your partnership if:
You can measure the ROI by comparing revenue generated through affiliates against total program costs, including commissions, management fees, and tools.
Unlike paid ads, costs scale with performance, making ROI more predictable when programs are managed correctly.
On the income side, companies typically track:
Affiliate payouts are most commonly structured as:
To evaluate performance, you should aim for a revenue-to-cost ratio of at least four to five times, supported by transparent payout rules and reliable tracking, to maintain profitability and long-term trust.
