SEO Review from Jacqueline Keen
For over ten years, our company has partnered with Sharp Guys to manage our website design and SEO strategy, and their impact on our business has been nothing short of exceptional. From the beginning, they have understood our industries unique needs and designed a website that not only looks professional but also serves as a powerful tool to connect with our customers.One of the standout qualities of Sharp Guys is their responsiveness. When we need updates or have questions, they often reply within an hour, ensuring that our digital presence remains up-to-date and competitive. Their proactive approach has saved us time and helped us stay ahead of the curve in our industry.Beyond just maintaining our website, Sharp Guys has consistently brought innovative marketing ideas to the table. A perfect example is the knife campaign: they developed a creative initiative that allowed prospects to sign up online to receive a knife, which was then personally delivered by our sales team. This campaign opened doors to hard-to-reach customers and has generated hundreds of new business opportunities over the years.Their expertise in digital advertising has also played a critical role in our growth. By setting up and optimizing our Google Ads campaigns and fine-tuning our keyword strategy, Sharp Guys has helped us steadily increase our inbound leads. The results speak for themselves: our quoted business has surpassed the million-dollar mark, proving that their approach is not just effective but also highly profitable.After a decade of working together, we can confidently say that Cody and the Sharp Guys crew is a valuable partner in our success. Their deep understanding of our industry, lightning-fast responsiveness, and innovative marketing strategies have made a significant impact on our business. We look forward to many more years of collaboration.

We are a new client having worked with Sharp Guys for a little over a year. They've been great to work with! They are excellent communicators, effectively addressing our website questions or resolving any functionality challenges. They've also offered very practical recommendations for improvements. Given we're a nonprofit, they've made the effort to understand our needs and our limitations in terms of funding and capacity and have become a key technology resource for our staff.
Lindsey Hill's Review Sourced from Google
Sharp Guys built two great websites for us and have been incredibly responsive throughout the process—especially when we had a major issue that needed quick attention. It's awesome having a local partner you can easily reach and talk with. Highly recommend them for web design and support!

Graphic Design Review from Candice Wynter (She/Her)
My organization worked with Creative Repute over a nearly 6-month period (January 2021 - July 2021). Everything Creative Repute developed for us is still functioning great and running smoothly. While we had to work out a few process and timing kinks along the way, CR was a joy to work with and a hard working team. If you're looking for a creative, thoughtful, and values-forward team, then look no further than Creative Repute.
The Colored Girls Museum's Review Sourced from Google
The Colored Girls Museum has now worked with Creative Repute Design Agency on several high visibility projects . Including Custom Wallpaper designed by Nile Livingston which took center stage at Philadelphia Airport backing our installation (Sit A Spell ) which was on view for nine months. The inspiration for the wallpaper came from Niles postcard design for our show The One Room Schoolhouse . We loved the design so much we created other merch around it . At present the wallpaper can be seen at The Colored Girls Museum in the Colored Boys Room. Most recently Creative Repute turned around the poster appearing soon at Mother Bethel which is the kick off location for The Tribute to The 7th Ward Legacy Reclaimed . Walking Tour . Always a pleasure to work with Nile and her team . Excellent customer service , beautiful design work .Most important to us intuitive and client centered approach to graphic design that exceeds what we can imagine when we approach them with a sketch of an idea. Hire them !Bonus fact Nile Livingston is one of the portrait Artist at The Colored Girls Museum , now also on view at Mother Bethel.

The team at Creative Repute has remained consistently responsive and patient as we all adjust to the changes happening in the world due to Covid-19. They creatively redesigned our Save-The-Date to accommodate a virtual event because we are unsure about when people will feel comfortable meeting face to face again. I appreciate the project manager’s uplifting, calm, and positive outlook and the quality of their team’s design work. I highly recommend.

Scott Linskey's Review Sourced from Google
I have been printing marketing materials for 39 consecutive years in the construction, fitness, and restaurant industries. This company has been one of the most detailed, most responsive, and easiest to work with in all my years. I’ve had some great vendors but I have had to mold them over the years. This firm and specifically Phil were top shelf from the outset. Do yourself and your business a favor…call them. SCL

Jason Virdi's Review Sourced from Google
We've been teamed up with Trevor & his team at Stolber for over a year now. We started early given the time and investment it takes to launch a successful organic SEO foundation. We've found him and Tamara absolutely indispensable in getting us the traction we needed to successfully launch our business. When the time was right, we turned on paid search and accelerated the momentum we had built on the organic side. We are continually impressed with the team's commercial thinking, responsiveness, and proactiveness. We would highly recommend any business, regardless of size, industry, or company stage, to work with Trevor and the Stolber team. 5/5

Trevor, Tamara and the rest of the team have made significant improvements to our website to make it more visually appealing and improve the user experience. They are also working on improving our SEO and PPC programs. They respond quickly if we have issues and their overall customer service is exceptional. Highly recommend Stolber Digital!

Trevor is incredibly passionate and knowledgeable about his job. I hired him and his team to handle our technical and content oriented SEO as well as web development. He had immediate feedback and is very clear in his explanations of technical details. He has been doing a wonderful job and we are already seeing great results. I couldn’t be happier. Hire this man!

The main goal of search engine marketing agencies is to capture high-intent audiences – or users who are actively searching for what you sell – and convert them.
The main benefits of their work include:
Unlike organic SEO, which can take 6 to 12 months to show results, SEM provides almost instant visibility:
Every click and conversion is tracked, so you know what works and what to scale.
Ads reach people based on intent, location, and behavior, not guesswork.
Agencies improve ad quality, targeting, and bidding to reduce unnecessary costs.
Agencies provide advanced tools and experienced specialists without in-house hiring.
A business should invest in search engine marketing when it needs fast traffic, clear results, and a way to turn search demand into sales.
Top search engine marketing companies can help you when:
SEM benefits most businesses that need fast visibility, want to capture high-intent searches, and can track results clearly.
Businesses that use search engine marketing agencies’ services the most include:
Hiring an SEM agency may seem simple, but poor decisions can quickly drain your budget. Paid search gives quick results, so mistakes show up immediately in spend, not just performance. You need to check how an agency works, not just what they promise they can do.
Before you commit, check a search engine marketing company for the following warning signs:
Before signing a contract, ask the SEM company clear questions to understand its experience, how it will manage campaigns, and how its work aligns with your goals.
Rated 4.8 on Google and 4.7 on Trustpilot, DesignRush Agency Directory is a reliable resource for finding search engine marketing agencies. We owe this to our executive selection team, which follows a strict screening process when featuring agencies on the platform, assessing key performance indicators, like portfolio, client reviews, and industry reputation.

Agencies can also reach out to DesignRush and must go through the verification process prior to being listed.
The main difference between these two marketing branches is how they acquire traffic: Search Engine Optimization (SEO) earns traffic organically, while Search Engine Marketing (SEM) buys traffic through paid ads.
| Aspect | SEO | SEM |
| Traffic source | Organic (unpaid) | Paid (ads on search engines) |
| Cost model | No cost-per-click | Pay-per-click (PPC) |
| Result speed | Slow, builds over time | Fast, immediate visibility |
| Placement | Organic search results | Top and bottom ad placements |
| Strategy | Content, technical setup, backlinks | Bidding, ad copy, targeting |
| Long-term value | High, compounding over time | Stops when the budget stops |
| Control | Limited control over rankings | Full control over spend and targeting |
Search engine marketing runs mainly on paid search platforms. Google Ads leads globally, with regional and niche platforms used based on audience and market.
No. An SEM agency cannot guarantee a #1 ranking.
Search ads run on an auction, and ad rank depends on bid, ad quality, expected click-through rate, and landing page experience. Competitors change bids constantly, so positions shift in real time.
Agencies control strategy, targeting, and optimization. They improve results, reduce costs, and increase conversions, but they do not control the auction or competitors, so no one can consistently promise the top spot.
Best SEM agencies typically charge between $100 and $300 per hour. Most businesses spend $500 to $5,000+ per month on SEM, while competitive industries can spend from $10,000 to $50,000+. Total cost combines ad spend and agency fees.
Search engine marketing agencies can also charge a percentage of ad spend, usually between 5% and 20%.
As a general rule, many companies allocate around 10% to 12% of revenue to SEM and digital advertising.
SEM companies can deliver results for paid search within days, while SEO takes months to build traffic and rankings.
Paid search can drive traffic almost immediately after launch. Early results appear within hours or days, but campaigns need a few weeks to stabilize. Most accounts become efficient within 2 to 8 weeks, and performance becomes stronger after 2 to 3 months.
SEO works much more slowly. The first 1 to 3 months usually go into technical fixes, content creation, and indexing. Noticeable traffic growth often occurs between 3 and 6 months for less-competitive terms. Strong rankings and consistent traffic typically take 6 to 12 months or more, especially for new websites.
