Major Tom Reviews & Testimonials
Chris Palliser
Community Manager at Shift
5.0★
Web Design Review from Chris Palliser
I work with Shift (Solar & Energy Storage Installer) and I had a great experience working with Major Tom on our brand refresh and new website. Their team is knowledgable, thoughtful, supportive, and I feel they personally and genuinely want us to succeed as a business. Shout out to Nathalie! They made me feel like a priority during any request, and delivered a polished functional design and UX that feels both national and locally grounded, exactly what we asked for. Communication was strong throughout, and they were quick to find solutions when challenges came up, as they inevitably do. Thank you, Major Tom! Highly Recommend!

Digital Advertising Review from Tim Thatcher
I've worked with Major Tom for just over 10 years in varying capacities across their Paid Media and Social Media teams. I've always enjoyed very positive working relationships, and they have offered great value and strategic guidance to media campaigns. They always add valuable insights into the data and make recommendations to improve overall strategy. It's always felt like a strong strategic partnership and they seem to have a positive working culture. Would highly recommend them as a media partner.

WordPress Website Design Review from Jamie McCalman
Major Tom is a strong choice for enterprise organizations that need both strategic thinking and technical reliability. They understand the demands of a national insurance brokerage and bring the right expertise to every phase of a project.
Their workflow is structured and efficient, with seamless handoffs between design, development, and launch. Anna provides excellent account leadership. She is responsive, organized, and solutions oriented. From maintaining nearly perfect uptime to rapidly addressing security and technical issues, their team is dependable. The new website components they designed have enhanced how we communicate complex insurance information to our clients.

Working with Amy and Marcus is an absolute pleasure, they are always so friendly and approachable and are an amazing extension to our team. Right from the start of our website build, Media Lounge have gone out of their way to help with any question I might ask (no matter how ridiculous!), and are always excited to take on new projects with us. Amy has gone above and beyond to bring new ideas to the table and help with our annual planning. I'm so grateful for your support!

CRO Review from Cormac Moylan
We (a large international e-Commerce site) wished to increase sales and revenue by improving our conversion rate. Because of the nuances of the market we operated in, It was important we partnered with an agency that understood our business and the relationship we have with our customers. Lauren, Grace, Jackson, and the entire team from Media Lounge understood this. Their tactics and optimisations were carefully tailored on improving the connection between our business and customers. Every opportunity recommended by Media Lounge was aligned to our business goals and demonstrated their expertise, knowledge, and abilities. I was impressed with their in-depth research, solutions, attention to detail, and most importantly; the resulting uplift from their efforts. They challenged us when we needed challenging, they addressed assumptions that previously impacted sales performance, and they introduced positive change for both our customers and our business. We couldn't be happier to have partnered with Media Lounge.

Web Design Review from Anthony
If you are looking for a web design company that is happy to go that extra mile, i would highly recommend Media Lounge. If you are like me and words like 'DNS' 'or CHRON' are another language to you, then you have found the right company, they appreciate not every one grasps the in and outs of how everything works in a website, so everything is explained to you easily and clearly. On top of this they build websites that not only look inspiring, but more importantly covert browsers to buyers at an incredibly impressive rate. Our's jumped from a fairly industry average at 2% to 6% - overnight.

We had the pleasure of working with Giant Marketers for the development of our new website at CADCA (Community Anti-Drug Coalitions of America). As an organization dedicated to creating and maintaining safe, healthy, and drug-free communities globally, our website is a critical tool for connecting with community coalitions and sharing resources.
From the start, the team at Giant Marketers impressed us with their professionalism and expertise. They took the time to understand our unique needs and goals, ensuring that the website would effectively support our mission. Their attention to detail and commitment to quality were evident throughout the entire process.
The result is a user-friendly, visually appealing, and highly functional website that has significantly improved our ability to communicate with our coalitions and the public. The new site makes it easier for users to access training materials, find information on substance abuse trends, and utilize the tools and resources we provide to empower communities.
We are thrilled with the final product and grateful for the exceptional service provided by Giant Marketers. Their dedication and skill have truly made a difference for CADCA, and we highly recommend them to any organization in need of top-notch website development services.

Roberto Aponte's Review Sourced from Google
I am thoroughly pleased with your companies ability to deliver an exceptional working relationship that has lead to an eloquently executed client experience. Isadora Digital Agency took a much-needed concierge approach to our relationship and helped us define our goals as well as align the expectations of the officers of our company. Our needs and vision were sophisticated but you helped us to achieve our vision through a multitude of legal and compliance challenges while still creating a warm and textured environment for our clients to engage with us. There have been multiple occasions the agency has gone exceptionally above and beyond to make this project a success – had we partnered with some of the other 9 design companies we were engaged with, I don’t feel confident that they would have provided the white glove service that we received from your firm. Let me summarize: Isadora delivers enterprise style service and results with the client engagement and human interaction of a boutique firm.

I was introduced to LGG Media via Hyros. Jason took his time to help me better understand our Google/Meta strategies despite the fact we are too small to onboard with them at this moment.

Their in-house development team gives them a huge edge over every competitor in the market. The way they use tools like Hyros to their full capability and build conversion and bidding into their tracking architecture is world-class.

5 Frequently Asked Questions About Search Engine Marketing Agencies
What is the difference between SEO and SEM?
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.

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.
