Digital Services Review from Paloma Anguiano
Overall I feel very confident working with Patrizia and Darius from Smart Site, they have given us clear explanations and accompanied us throughout the process for the growth of the brand. The attention to us is very fast and they advise us in an adequate way.
Digital Services Review from Brianna Porter
SmartSites impressed me from day one. They are knowledgable, kind, and most importantly keep things simple and streamlined so that even an SEO-newb like me can understand. Tiffany and Luna are my main points of contact and they are especially great! I would recommend to anyone looking for an agency to really take their website and digital presence to the next level.
PPC Review from Jim Curry
At first, a survey was conducted to gather company background, product information, target markets, etc. Next, accounts were established on various Google Business platforms, social media, etc. Then SmartSites created the ads and campaigns, and we were off and running in just a few weeks.

Content Marketing Review from Mckenzie Ycmat
I've worked with Siege since 2016, and there's a reason I've brought them with me to nearly every company I've joined since. I've partnered with a lot of agencies over the years, but Siege consistently stands out because they don't just execute SEO tactics, they become an extension of your team. They take the time to understand your business, collaborate across marketing, and build content strategies that actually drive measurable results. One of the things I appreciate most is how proactive they are. They bring ideas to the table, back recommendations with data, and genuinely care about long-term growth rather than chasing quick wins. The impact they've had on my career has been significant. At multiple companies, their work has helped us grow organic traffic, strengthen our content strategy, and prove the value of marketing initiatives. They're one of the few partners I've trusted enough to advocate for repeatedly, including making sure I could continue working with them after changing jobs. The fact that I've spent nearly a decade recommending Siege internally says everything. They're one of those rare agencies that consistently exceed expectations, and I'd recommend them without hesitation to any marketing team looking for a true strategic partner.

Alexandra Cavaliere's Review Sourced from Google
# Big Fish PR Review**Holy crap, where do I even start with Big Fish PR.**As VP of Her ALS Story, I’ve been around the block with agencies, and let me tell you - what Big Fish did for our Warrior Weekend was absolutely unreal.These people are MAGIC. Like, I’m not even exaggerating. When we first talked to them about the Warrior Weekend, I could tell they immediately understood what we were trying to do. This isn’t just another event for us - it’s about bringing together warriors in the ALS fight and giving them a space to connect, heal, and find strength. And Big Fish? They got that from minute one.The media coverage they landed for us was insane. We’re talking major publications - the kind of outlets that usually don’t give smaller nonprofits the time of day. But somehow Big Fish made our story irresistible to them. Every pitch felt strategic, every story placement felt meaningful. They didn’t just spray and pray with press releases. They crafted our narrative in a way that made editors actually care.What blew me away was how they made our Warrior Weekend feel like THE event everyone needed to know about. The buzz they created wasn’t just noise - it was the right kind of attention that brought in the right people and resources.But here’s the thing that really got me: they never made it feel transactional. Every conversation, every strategy session, every brainstorm felt like we were working with people who genuinely gave a damn about our mission. They celebrated our wins like they were their own family’s wins.If you’re looking for a PR team that will fight for your cause like it’s their own, call Big Fish immediately. Don’t walk, RUN. These people are the real deal, and I can’t recommend them highly enough.**Trust me on this one.
Leah Stavenhagen's Review Sourced from Google
Their amazing team went above and beyond to help our recent event get media coverage. Highly recommend!!
Laura Schmalstieg's Review Sourced from Google
I’ve been building brands for 15 years and have worked with many PR partners, but none have impressed me like BIG FISH. Their strategy, communication, processes, and talent for building relationships with publishers and media is unmatched. In just a few months, they landed major placements for Adoorn in Architectural Digest, Oprah, and Real Simple. Highly recommend!

James Wonder's Review Sourced from Google
I've worked with the team at Red Racer for over 10 years in various roles and capacities. I'd put Scott up against any designer out there. He's that good.On top of Scott's natural talent, he is customer obsessed and willing to go the extra mile to get the job done right (not something I can say for a lot of agencies.)The Red Racer team is future-focused, willing and ready to embrace new technologies, and smart enough to know when to not reinvent the wheel. From design to development to marketing, they're a small group that, in my experience, is WAY more effective than most agencies 5x their size.Hire them!
Kevin Marple's Review Sourced from Google
Scott Crowell and his team are exceptional to work with. Straight to the point, honest, and above all else, creative. I highly recommend Red Racer to all of my clients seeking a change to their creative for the better.
Riff Wright's Review Sourced from Google
I've worked with the Red Racer agency on numerous projects with three different businesses. From Branding, Print Ads, Catalogs, Ecommerce, and Digital / Social Marketing this group has reliably delivered creative messaging that drives results.Scott and his team understand the criticality of "knowing" our business and the market in which we compete. I believe this blending of "insights" are what made our campaigns successful.Whether we are pushing for sales growth, brand awareness, or product launches, Red Racer delivers "large agency" results with a small team of experts who are great to work with. I will continue to use Red Racer and would confidently recommend them to other businesses as well.

Waris Ali's Review Sourced from Google
I applied for an SEO Specialist position and received a rejection email without any interview or initial discussion. While I understand that companies receive many applications, it would be helpful for candidates to receive more transparency regarding the selection process and the key qualifications being prioritized. I appreciate the response but was disappointed not to have the opportunity to discuss my experience and skills.
Mario Inchausti's Review Sourced from Google
Perhaps there are other things they do well. We hired 829 to build our website & it was by far one of the most ridiculous experiences I’ve ever faced. Staff was incompetent & condescending for good measure. They took a year and change to deliver a site that is horrifyingly unstable. Horrible.Edit: so many 5 star reviews should make one suspicious. They gave me more attention in an effort to get me to delete this review than when we genuinely needed it. Really horrible organization and I use my experience with them often as a cautionary tale. To recap: 829 offered services they were unqualified to deliver, overcharged for those and spent more time trying to upsell and pad their team with as many warm bodies as they could charge us for. Still salty about it…
Caitlin Walker's Review Sourced from Google
Our team chose 829 after interviewing many agencies for the complete rebrand, new website build, SEO improvements, and PR guidance and strategy. Collaborating on the design of the website was surprisingly productive, we needed one or two additional rounds then was first planned and we ended up with a design we all agreed delivered on the requested notes. From brand to website, clean and fresh aesthetic. Our SEO performance was immediately light years improved and continued to grow. The team brought excellent ideas forward and worked well with our opinionated colleagues with clear vision and preferences. I personally enjoyed the 829 staff assigned to our projects and appreciated the ease of working with them through delivery and post delivery management. I would hire them again and I would recommend them without hesitation.

Affiliate Marketing Companies FAQs
What services do US-based affiliate marketing companies offer?
Most affiliate marketing companies provide end-to-end support for building, managing, and scaling affiliate programs, with services typically covering the following core areas:
- Affiliate recruitment: Identifying, vetting, and onboarding affiliates whose audiences align with your target customers and brand.
- Strategy development: Defining program goals, partner types, commission structures, and performance benchmarks before launch.
- Creative development: Producing on-brand assets such as banners, landing pages, emails, and social content for affiliate use.
- Commission management: Setting up tracking, commission rules, and accurate payouts to ensure transparency and partner trust.
- Affiliate network management: Managing programs within your platform of choice, including partner communication and reporting.
- Program optimization: Monitoring performance data to improve conversions and scale high-ROI affiliates.
How much does an affiliate marketing agency charge in the USA?
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:
- Small businesses/startups: $1,050-$3,150 per month, including commissions of $1,000-$3,000 and basic platform fees.
- Mid-sized brands: $5,300-$15,700 per month, combining higher commission pools, platform fees, and partial management support.
- Enterprise brands: $22,000-$60,000+ per month, covering large commission volumes, advanced tracking, and full agency management.
How to choose from the best affiliate marketing companies in the US?
Key factors to consider when choosing an affiliate marketing agency include:
- Affiliate marketing expertise
Prioritize agencies that focus specifically on affiliate management rather than offering it as a secondary service. - Industry experience
Firms familiar with your sector are better equipped to recruit relevant affiliates and handle industry-specific requirements, such as compliance. - Relationship-driven approach
Look for partners that invest in long-term relationships with brands and creators and avoid guarantees of instant results. - Account management structure
Understand who will manage your account day to day and how affiliate relationships will be supported. - Pricing and budget fit
Review billing models upfront, including retainers, commissions, and minimums, to ensure alignment with your budget.
How does affiliate marketing differ from influencer marketing?
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 |
Do I need an existing affiliate program before hiring an affiliate marketing agency?
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:
- Your product is already selling
- You can offer attractive commissions
- You have marketing assets that affiliates can use
How does ROI work in affiliate marketing, and how are payouts structured?
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:
- Direct revenue from affiliate-attributed sales or leads
- Incremental value, such as new customers acquired through affiliates
- LTV(Customer lifetime value), especially for SaaS and subscription businesses
- Industry benchmarks show that incremental sales account for roughly 35% of affiliate revenue in mature programs, and many brands report higher LTV from affiliate-acquired customers compared to other paid channels.
Affiliate payouts are most commonly structured as:
- CPS (cost per sale): typically, 5% to 30% commission
- CPA (Cost per action): flat payouts for leads or sign-ups
- Recurring commissions: standard in subscription and SaaS models
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.
