Y'all Reviews & Testimonials
Lucy Ji
Co-Founder at Irritated Inc.
5.0★
Digital Advertising Review from Lucy Ji
We brought Y'all in to audit our Meta and Google campaigns and tell us what was broken. They dug into campaign setups, creative performance, audience targeting, and spend efficiency, then handed us a clear, actionable plan to fix it. The results were hard to argue with. ROAS jumped 184.6%, purchase routing became smoother, and our budget started working a lot harder.
What impressed us most was how tailored everything felt. They took the time to understand our brand before making a single recommendation. Nothing was generic. They also walked us through the findings in a recorded session and hosted a live Q&A so nothing got lost in translation. Professional, responsive, and genuinely collaborative from start to finish. No complaints at all.

Digital Marketing Review from Kristen Elworthy
Y'all has been fantastic to work with for us, a small e-commerce company heading into a scaling year. We found Y'all when looking to up our creative game in 2026 and have been thrilled with their ideas and execution, as well as how quickly they have learned our brand.
We quickly brought them on to do paid media buying as well and they have been instrumental in helping us scale spend and revenue during our busy season. Most importantly, they are collaborative, responsive, smart and data driven.
For a boostrapped ecomm brand, bringing on agencies is always a huge financial commitment and it can be nerve wracking. Y'all's founder and team clearly care about their clients and outcomes, they go the extra mile, and they are committed to their success. We find them to be true partners.
Neha Salgaonkar
Director of DTC at Save Trees
5.0★
Performance Marketing Review from Neha Salgaonkar
When we started working with Y'all, we were spending just $2,000 to $3,000 a month on Meta. Our goal was to scale that spend profitably while keeping customer acquisition costs in check. They did exactly that. New customer acquisition grew measurably and ROAS moved in the right direction, all without blowing past our CAC targets.
What made them stand out was how plugged in they were. The team monitored our account closely, often sending daily updates and making quick adjustments without needing to be prompted. They never felt like an outside agency. They genuinely cared about the brand and it showed in how they worked. No complaints from our end.

Digital Advertising Review from Michael Kleinmann
So many "Agencies" claim they can take your business to 8 figures but if you've ever hired an agency, you know that most of this is just hype. Evestar is the first agency that we've worked with that can back up their claims and actually scale a business. They've been pivotal scaling one of our clients to mid 8 figures, across all acquisition channels. Most interesting is their holistic approach across the entire business - not just looking at Meta but getting into the weeds on all of the building blocks that make a business work and scale. Overall, we've had a great experience, which is why we have numerous clients that we refer to Evestar and collaborate on with them.

Digital Advertising Review from J.R. Hecker
We have been working with Evestar for over 7 months now and have been VERY impressed with them! We had been working with a previous agency which after 6 months had added zero value to our bottom line and had in fact even cost us more money than we had been making before. Within just 3 months of partnering with Evestar we immediately began to see our bottom line increasing! They take great care in what they do and invest in our company as if it were their own! I couldn't recommend them more highly and have been very impressed with their offerings
From website design, to media buying, to creative content to overall agency management. Everything they do is top notch!

Web Design Review from Robert H. Hughes, CERP
Absolute Web designed a new site from scratch to replace our 20-year-old site. It was long overdue, and the process was made easy and manageable by Absolute. I spent months trying to find the right company to work with and found Absolute and Andres. He has been amazing and patient. After 5,000 products and new product images, his team got us to a polished and easy-to-use site. Their pricing was very reasonable and a great value. I would highly recommend Andres and Absolute Web.

Video Production Review from Undisclosed
Our goal was to produce high-quality video that conveyed the brand's product range, aesthetic, and values, and that would perform well across social media channels. I selected Blue Bear Creative because they were nimble and had experience with larger productions. They produced excellent content and their cost-to-quality ratio was incredibly impressive.

Danielle Thompson's Review Sourced from Google
Blue Bear Creative created a suite of premium, attention grabbing visual assets to support the launch of 2 new beers for Lindemans Brewery. Our existing assets lacked taste appeal and were not tailored to our market or user interests so BBC stepped in and said, "Hold my beer!" as they crafted story boards and concepts that focused on fruit, quality and consumption occasions. They delivered 3 mouthwatering videos that grabbed attention, and a suite of other, social-first motion assets for follow-up posts and retargeting. They captured and created dynamic lifestyle imagery during an 'on the fly' photoshoot that focused on moments that felt authentic, and have driven high CTR and engagement since launch. BBC is quick, strategic and creative and those skills helped deliver great content on a tight timeline for our 200+ year old brewery.

I've worked with Outsauce Media on two shoots so far - one for a personal training photoshoot and another for a dance workshop in a studio - and both experiences have been excellent.
He is not only professional but easy to work with, but also genuinely creative. He took time to understand my vision, but what really stood out was how he went above and beyond by suggesting shots I hadn't even thought of. Those extras ended up giving me new content, which was a huge bonus for my brand.
The final photos and video looked incredible and really helped me elevate how I present my business. I'll definitely continue working with Outsauce Media for all my future content needs. Highly recommend!

Trent is an absolute professional from start to finish. His creative direction is second to none, and he made the entire process seamless and enjoyable. Before the shoot, Trent set up a detailed Pinterest board to ensure we were completely aligned on the vision, which made the day run effortlessly and allowed us to execute everything exactly as planned.
The turnaround time for the photos was incredibly quick, and the results were phenomenal—beyond what I could have hoped for!
I wouldn’t hesitate to reach out to Trent again for future projects. If you’re looking for someone who’s creative, reliable, and genuinely passionate about what they do, Trent is your guy. Highly recommend!

What services does a B2B digital marketing agency in the United States provide?
The best digital marketing firms in the USA provide a range of services that support growth, customer acquisition, and performance optimization. According to our top agencies, these are the most sought-after services:
Search engine optimization (SEO): Technical, on-page, and off-page optimization to increase organic visibility and capture high-intent search demand
Paid advertising (PPC): Creating and launching paid campaigns across search and social channels to drive qualified leads
Content marketing: Creation of bottom- and mid-funnel assets (blogs, case studies, infographics, whitepapers) to inspire action and drive engagement
Social media marketing: Using social platforms to distribute content, run campaigns, and generate demand from target B2B audiences
Email marketing: Sending targeted email campaigns that nurture leads, support sales follow-up, and drive conversions
Conversion rate optimization (CRO): Data-driven testing and funnel analysis to improve lead capture and conversion efficiency
Web design and development: Designing and building fast, conversion-focused websites and landing pages to support lead generation efforts
Rocksalt Marketing observed that SEO has the highest demand amongst all digital marketing services at 40%, followed by web design at 35%, and paid media at 25%.
How much does a US-based digital marketing firm charge?
American companies tailor their pricing based on the client’s market goals, industry standing, competitive environment, timeline, and project scope and complexity.
Below are the average hourly rates of North American digital marketing firms according to Promethean Research’s latest survey:
About 17% have an hourly rate of $150-$174.
36% of digital agencies charge around $175 to $199 per hour.
32% of companies have a rate of $200-$249 per hour.
In terms of monthly retainers, HawkSEM reports that the digital marketing budget ranges between $1,500 and over $10,000.
Here's a breakdown of monthly rates for core marketing services:
SEO: $1,000-$30,000
PPC: $1,500-$10,000
Social media marketing: $900-$20,000
Content marketing: $2,000-$30,000
Email marketing: $300-$1,500
Digital PR: $5,000-$100,000+
What are the average project timelines?
According to top digital marketing agency Funnel Boost Media: foundational campaigns for brands without an established online presence can take about 6 months. On the other hand, a full campaign redesign may require 3-6 months, from discovery to launch.
The final timeline depends on the number of target locations, feedback cycle, and project complexity and scope.
eCommerce and Direct to Consumer (DTC) marketing: 4 months
When can clients expect ROI from these campaigns?
Return on investment (ROI) timelines depend on digital channel, market competitiveness, budget, and the brand's existing presence.
In many cases, businesses may see early performance indicators, such as increased traffic, leads, or engagement, within 3-6 months. However, more consistent, revenue-attributable ROI will appear within 6-12 months.
Below is a rough ROI timeline according to Searchbloom:
SEO takes around 3-6 months; however, brands facing high industry competition may take longer.
Paid media produces results within 30-60 days after account optimization and A/B testing.
CRO only takes a few months after testing and implementation.
Web redesign and development show performance improvements within 2-4 months after launch, especially when combined with paid and organic strategies.
What questions should be asked before hiring a digital marketing agency?
Before hiring the next digital marketing firm for your business, ask these questions to confirm strategic fit and long-term value:
Relevant Background
Can you share case studies or client references from our industry or engagements with a similar scope and complexity?
Are you currently working with any of our direct competitors?
What digital marketing services are your core areas of expertise?
Services and Processes
What tools and attribution methods do you use to track and report performance?
Can you walk me through your entire process from discovery and strategy to execution and optimization?
How do you identify and address underperforming campaigns?
Related to Your Project
What results can I expect? What is your basis for your answer, and what is your expected timeframe?
How will you integrate your strategies with my existing marketing, sales, and tech stack?
How do you measure success and report campaign results?
What creative, technical, and marketing assets will I own after the contract ends?
Proposals
