Web Development Review from Don DeStefano
Working with Josh and the Trajectory team on the new CMP Advanced Mechanical Solutions website was an incredible experience! From the start, Josh took the time to truly understand our vision and brought it to life in a way that exceeded our expectations. His expertise, patience, and dedication made the entire process seamless. He provided outstanding support throughout the project and continues to do so even after its completion. His commitment to ensuring everything runs smoothly is truly appreciated. If you're looking for a talented and reliable web developer, Josh is the one to contact. Highly recommend!
Web Design Review from Guðrún Liv Arden
Josh and the team at Trajectory made this process so smooth and led me through each step with clarity and confidence. The project timeline was incredibly organized, and no deadline was ever missed.Trajectory ensures that our site will always be maintained, and we can call anytime for assistance. They also gave us great information on how to make any changes independently, if we so desire.Whether you know exactly what you want or would like a bit of guidance through the process, Trajectory is the way to go. Josh was always incredibly helpful, professional, and a pleasure to work with. I give 5 stars all around, a fantastic value for the product we received! Couldn't be happier!

Small Business Review from Leslie Fleuranges
I cannot say enough good things about Cohort Digital! As the owner of Tender Loving Care Pet Nursing Hotel, I've worked with their team and the results speak for themselves our revenue has grown in a measurable way thanks to the smart ad strategies they have put in place. What I love most is that they don't just run ads. They really took the time to understand my business and the unique audience we serve. I have no complaints! The team is very proactive and dedicated! They have worked with my budgets over the last several years and also recommend new ideas to meet our company goals. Their team feels like a true partner, always focused on results and making sure every dollar is working hard. If you're looking for a team that's professional, easy to work with, and truly obsessed with helping you grow, Cohort Digital is the firm you need.
Digital Marketing Review from Brad Stauffer, MPA, Ed.D.
The Cohort.digital team was fantastic to work with. We were pretty much novices at developing a digital advertising campaign and they helped us design a campaign, narrow our audience and achieve remarkable results. We saw marked uptick in our website traffic during the weeks of our geo targeted campaigns, and most importantly, we saw a jump in our student enrollment in the last two years. We're not definitively sure that our digital advertising campaigns have been responsible for our student application and enrollment gains, but we're confident they had an impact. Our student admissions are up 53% over a two-year span.
Digital Marketing Review from Shawn Menke
Cohort Digital has been excellent in managing our SEO. They are always looking for ways to help improve our digital marketing. We truly feel like they are a part of our team.

My concept and brand were carefully interpreted by the Truenorth Digital team, who turned it into an attractive and useful internet store. Their ability to expertly modify Shopify to suit my unique requirements and guarantee a seamless and user-friendly experience for my clients was a clear indication of their proficiency with the platform. Excellent communication lasted throughout the project. They were always accessible to respond to my inquiries and handle any concerns, and they kept me updated at every turn. The job exceeded my expectations in every aspect and was finished on schedule and within budget.

Kerry Jamison's Review Sourced from Google
It was a pleasure working with Robert Long on a complete revamp of our company website. Our business has used his services for decades but it was the first experience for me.Robert had the creative vision and technical expertise to make the website do everything we needed it to do for an easy-to-navigate, intuitive, user-friendly experience, all while keeping the look and feel of the brand. The final product is more than I ever imagined, providing both helpful information and a strong marketing tool.Robert was an excellent project manager and true professional, building a framework from the start, checking in throughout the process with updates, and able to flex in different aspects as our business offerings evolved. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Seller's Bay to anyone looking to build or remodel their website.
Matthew Thompson's Review Sourced from Google
Robert with Sellers Bay is all over it. I hired him to build us a new website and manage our Google face to the public. I had a meeting with him prior to start and he was all over it after that meeting. Started almost immediately and got us built up fast. Now we are getting calls based on the Google ads. We have been so pleased with his work we are going to have him move and improve our other website too. I highly recommend Robert with Sellers Bay.
Kevin Walker's Review Sourced from Google
Highly recommend Sellers Bay, very responsive, upfront about the services that were to be completed for my new website, no surprise charges or anything like that.I dealt with Robert, he was able to make the website look exactly how I wanted it. I am very picky with this type of stuff, and he never had a problem fine tuning everything that I mentioned to him Also, very honest, polite, and easy to work with. Thank You!!!

Sensei Luis Taboada's Review Sourced from Google
We went to Bower Web Solutions for help on an existing website which was "broken" and needed a lot of work. The owner, Dan, and his Web Developer, Tom, did a terrific job with not only fixing everything that was wrong with the site, but they went above and beyond so we now have a site we are proud of. We couldn't be more pleased and will certainly be working with Bower Web Solutions going forward on all of our IT needs. We highly recommend them.

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.

DesignRush sustains a directory of over 30,000 agencies categorized by service category, location, expertise, and reviews. We build our database in two ways:
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.
