Virtual Assistant Review from Robbie Forsyth

Obi Services has been a fantastic extension of our workforce, since we began using them for support in 2022. They have shown themselves to be efficient workers, giving us great output for the hours spent - at excellent value for money. Their versatility is outstanding too, supporting us with admin (the jobs our staff find boring), IT and design work. Their communication systems are ideal too, so we are always in the loop. Would strongly recommend them for anyone looking into an all round VA service.

Digital Marketing Review from Dusty Jenkins

I can't speak highly enough of the OBI team. I have been using them over 2 years now for my marketing company and have used them through a variety of tasks. Landing Page Design, Canvas Design, Branding, Logo Creation, Youtube Thumbnails, Youtube Bumpers, Logo Animation, Video Editing, Photoshop Editing, and List Building to name a few. Every new task I've made with them has been a home run overall. As new staff comes into OBI workspace, there will be times where we need to provide additional feedback but overall, I'm very very pleased with how they follow SOPs and help create them along the way. I have never been more organized in my marketing business and will continue to shout the OBI name from every mountain top I encounter. Give them a shot! Their communication is top notch and they truly feel like family to me. I couldn't do business without them.

SEO Review from Ruben Muller

We hired Syntactics in April 2025 for a premium SEO campaign. Promises included high-quality, Australian-based backlinks, technical SEO fixes, competitor analysis, and a clear roadmap.Before choosing them, we noticed many positive reviews online. In my opinion, many appear to be from employees or not genuine, so I recommend looking beyond the star rating.Within weeks of starting, our performance went backwards:Organic traffic dropped by 370 visits per monthTop-ranking keywords in positions 13 fell sharplySite health score fell from the high 90s to 55 (see Ahrefs screenshots)Key issues:Backlinks were mostly from irrelevant forums and free blog platforms like Tumblr and Blogspot, with no industry or geographic relevanceCompetitor analysis and keyword gap strategy never deliveredOnly 2 blogs published in the first month, not 3 as promisedKeyword targeting fell short of the 1625 agreedTechnical SEO reporting was vague until repeatedly requestedMissed and late meetings, reactive communication, and undisclosed changes to structured data that harmed national search visibilityDespite multiple opportunities to correct course, the campaign failed to deliver on the agreed scope. We were left with worse rankings, reduced site health, low-quality backlinks, and extra costs to repair the damage.Advice: Avoid Syntactics if you value your search performance. The screenshots show exactly what happened to us in just a few months.
