Digital Parameter has a great team that's always available to make sure everything gets done right. Out of all the web designers I’ve worked with over the years, Matt and his team were the most on point with their turnaround times by far. They produced a site for us that works great, looks great, and is a good reflection on our business- I would definitely recommend them!

Jaime Miller Review from Google
5.0★
Jaime Miller's Review Sourced from Google
In my 11th year of running my online business, I've worked with a quite a lot of designers and digital marketers. I needed to design a specific type of packaging that was way beyond my wheelhouse (and rather than deal with my own designers' lack of experience, I just took ePac Flexible's recommendation to work with Olga at Analytix).When I first emailed Olga, I was expecting to be forced to wait a few days to get paid attention to, and then told it would take weeks to get in the customer queue, and then finally charged a nauseating amount of money. She exceeded my expectations in every interaction and I'm thrilled with what I've gotten.PRICING: Analytix' pricing is super reasonable (especially based on what I've forked over in the past), but more importantly, the quality and value are there and that beyond justifies the cost. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if they raise their prices.COMMUNICATION SKILLS / SCHEDULING: Olga's communication skills are on point. She's a total A Player. She took the reigns with coordinating with my publisher and package manufacturer, which was a relief because of how crazy busy I was. She always scheduled the next meeting before we wrapped up the current meeting. She sent doc's to review in advance so we could all be prepared. There were no delays (other than the one I caused because of my own inexperience with the world of physical packaging). She finished my project on time and she was so accommodating and hard-working with the revision issues (again, due to my error) so I could launch on schedule.DELIVERABLE ASSETS: The products that Olga designed are fabulous. I am incredibly proud to show them off. Everyone who has seen the hard-copy proofs is blown away. She nailed the aesthetic, which was amazing because in the past with other designers, I have had to fill out extensive questionnaires and share my brand values blah blah blah... Olga just got it. And I realize now that I didn't even ask to see her portfolio before we started. 😂 On top of that, she made so many good design choices that are translating amazingly into reality.In short, 6 out of 5, I would definitely recommend.

Marc Soloff's Review Sourced from Google
I am writing this review to express my utmost disappointment and frustration with Relevant Dealer. My experience with them has been nothing short of a nightmare, and I strongly advise others to steer clear of working with them.To provide some context, I was hired to produce a video for Relevant Dealer, and after sending it, I promptly submitted my invoice for payment. However, to my disbelief and utter dismay, the company has failed to fulfill its financial obligation and has not paid its bill.Not only is this non-payment unethical, but it also demonstrates a complete disregard for professionalism and basic business ethics. It is absolutely unacceptable for any company, regardless of its size or industry, to refuse to pay for the services rendered.I have made numerous attempts to contact Relevant Dealer and rectify the situation, but they have consistently ignored my emails. The lack of communication and accountability exhibited by this company is beyond frustrating and unprofessional.I have been left with no choice but to take legal action to recover the amount owed to me.I strongly advise anyone considering doing business with Relevant Dealer to exercise caution and think twice. Their disregard for financial obligations and unresponsiveness should serve as a red flag to potential customers. It is disheartening to see a company that claims to value relationships fail so miserably in upholding these principles.In conclusion, my experience with Relevant Dealer has been a complete and utter disappointment. Their non-payment of invoices is indicative of their unethical business practices. I hope this review serves as a warning to others, and I implore you to avoid engaging with this company at all costs.

I've had the pleasure of working with the Deksia team since January, and I'm astounded by their continued expertise. I partnered with Deksia, thinking I would only hire them for a new logo, but now it feels like they are part of the company, invested in it, and producing the brand.

Liz Hilton's Review Sourced from Google
If you are the type of person to question and challenge your partners, Deksia is not a good fit for you. I identified a weakness in Deksia's business which they thought was strong and I was treated like I was crazy. I did recieve an apology for my mistreatment of and the gross mismanagement of my account. The fact remains that I was upsold on digital marketing while Deksia had no competent staff to manage my search engine marketing (SEM). In the 6 months we worked together they neglected to verify my google account, they neglected to connect my google tag (so there was no way to optimize) and they reported bad data to make themselves look good. For the entire time I was paying them (and google!) they had my brand name in every search term. This went on for over 6 months! Why didn't I catch it sooner? Because I had a baby. I had trusted them to take care of SEM so I wouldn't have to worry about it. Once I was out of my postpartum haze and I was able to look under the hood. I found that over 85% of their reported sales were attributed to my hard earned organic reach. And yet they would self congratulate themselves and ask me to raise my SEM budget. When I revealed this to them they tried every gaslighting technique in the book. They took advantage of my trust in them. Their marketing VP even asked why they should spend time doing a postmortem of their mistakes when they could be spending time "making me more money". How can you move on and improve if you never examine your mistakes? Even getting them to admit they made all these errors took me hiring a 3rd party to generate reports and attribution models so we could uncover the truth of Deksia's performance or in this case lack thereof. There was no effort to make things better even after I had spent 6 figures with them on various projects. Instead I was billed for another 2 months after ending the relationship because it was in our contract. If you are signing a contract with them- take that part OUT! I had to pay them for doing nothing while I was paying someone else to fix the mess they made.Adam Bird is the glue holding this house of cards together and the only reason I do not completely regret working with Deksia. I came to them to elevate my brand, Swaddelini. Adam did a phenomenal job unveiling the DNA of the brand and giving me a deeper understanding of my customer. Shelly is also very talented. She took the direction from Adam to create brand messaging and imagery that did exactly what I wanted it to do. Deksia has strong creative talent that can deliver a good product; unfortunately, they lack the technical expertise to bring it home and they lack the leadership to build long lasting customer relationships.

I've enjoyed working with Artisan both on internal projects and being placed with clients through them. While they don't see the same number of roles as some of the bigger companies, they do tend to get jobs with higher pay rates than some of the other staffing agencies - and definitely advocate for the talent when it comes to dealing with clients. I would definitely recommend getting in touch if you're looking for work in a digital/creative role.

I highly recommend Artisan to anyone who is looking for contract work.

As a small business we have been working with Seth and Cody and the team at Sera since before we opened Leeds Public House in 2019. They have helped us in so many ways that I've almost lost count. They are excellent web designers, they were key in developing out original branding strategies, and have continued over the years to be integral to our digital marketing and analysis. They are super personable and thoughtful and a real pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend Sera website design and digital marketing, especially for small businesses.

Sharon Fountain's Review Sourced from Google
After a really bad experience with another web consultant, I now know what a truly professional web consultant should know and provide. Alan Jordan of Digital Purpose saved our digital presence and as his client, we are looking forward to a strong marketable presence online. His response time is very commendable as well as his ability to listen and astutely assess the problem. He then articulates suggestions to achieve the desired goals or a solution to a problem in terms you can understand. He was very patient with us -- none of us are very technical. We looked forward to working with him because of his experience, knowledge, and professional demeanor. Not only does he empower his clients, but he also inspires you after every meeting to seek higher monetary goals through his suggestions for digital growth. He also is a great instructor when it comes to giving you the tools to become self-sufficient.— Sharon Fountain, Managing Editor, Chicago and Gary Crusader Newspapers.

What platforms are used for search engine marketing?
Search engine marketing runs mainly on paid search platforms. Google Ads leads globally, with regional and niche platforms used based on audience and market.
Google Ads is the largest platform and covers Google Search, YouTube, Gmail, and partner sites.
Microsoft Advertising (Bing Ads) reaches Bing, Yahoo, and AOL users. It often has lower CPCs.
Amazon Ads shows search ads inside Amazon for product-driven campaigns.
Apple Search Ads promotes apps within App Store search results.
Baidu Ads is the primary platform in China.
Yandex Ads is dominant in Russia and nearby markets.
Can a search engine marketing company guarantee a #1 ranking?
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.
How much do SEM services cost?
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.
Ad spend: You pay for each click, but some clicks cost a few dollars, while competitive keywords like legal or finance can go above $50 per click. Total spend depends on how many clicks you want and how competitive your market is.
SEM companies’ monthly fees:
$500 to $1,500 per month for basic setup and management
$1,000 to $5,000 per month for full service and optimization
$10,000 to $50,000+ for large-scale, multi-platform campaigns
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.
How long does it take to see SEM results?
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.
