      The team at The Apptitude did a wonderful job of understanding my requirements and delivering the best results possible. From the initial consultation phase of my project to the final phases and optimization, the team showed utmost professionalism and expertise.

      Super happy with the final product, though we had a few back-and-forths on design details. The team was patient and nailed it in the end. They partnered with us. Gave honest feedback and suggested features we hadn’t thought of. Felt like having in-house devs without the overhead.

      Integrated Marketing Review from Allyson Burroughs

      I had the pleasure of working with Modo Modo Agency in 2022, when I was responsible for the complete renovation of Ricoh North America's brand narrative and visual design system, across all channels and all audiences. There were three immediately necessary elements - 1) internal communications materials about the overhaul of the brand narrative in order to build trust and enthusiasm internally for the new strategic direction of the company, 2) recruitment marketing assets to attract new talent to the organization very rapidly, and 3) go-to-market assets for multiple vertical industries where Ricoh was strategically focused on specific levels of growth.Modo Modo Agency helped me lead the charge by generating extremely valuable internal communications materials, visual design system assets, manager and leadership guides and more to help with evangelizing internally the evolved brand narrative and the new strategic plan set forth by the CEO. They also created a significant number recruitment marketing assets for a number of digital channels to help build excitement around the brand, attract talent, and encourage employment applications for the significant number of open positions the company needed to fill. Lastly, we worked closely on GTM initiatives across paid and owned channels for the specific vertical industries Ricoh had identified in their strategic growth plan.The team is strategic, focused on meeting business objectives, and delivering on the critical KPIs of each program. Modo Modo Agency stepped in quickly, delivered smart, well-executed, and effective assets for all the audiences and channels we needed to address. I would enthusiastically recommend them and would most definitely hire them again.

      This is our first year at Peach Bowl, Inc. working with Modo Modo. In fact, we're literally months into our business relationship.I'll be able to provide a more thorough review later, but we have found Modo Modo to be an intensely engaged agency. They have very talented people in the design chairs and the account management team. They've been extremely responsive in terms of learning how we like to work, and reacting accordingly.We made the decision to leave one agency and sign on with Modo Modo, and the best thing I can say at this point is that we are not disappointed in our decision. We've seen and are expecting top-shelf work from them.

They took the time to understand our business and built strategies that actually brought results. We started seeing more traffic, better leads, and noticeable growth within a short time. Communication has always been clear and easy, and they consistently share updates so we know what’s happening. What I appreciate most is that they genuinely care about helping us succeed. They feel less like an outside agency and more like a true partner. Highly recommended!

      dhaval jasoliya's Review Sourced from Google

      Extremely disappointing experience as a former employee.While the owner responded to my original review with personal deflection, let me clarify the actual situation for anyone reading this. When I joined, the company had 20+ employees; by the time I left, only 2–4 remained. That kind of attrition doesn't happen without serious issues at the top.The core problem lies in poor leadership, lack of clear vision, and obsessive micromanagement. Rather than focusing on company growth, the management spent more time controlling and criticizing employees than empowering them. Innovation and autonomy were discouraged, and decisions were driven by ego, not strategy.I led my team with integrity and professionalism, but it’s impossible to thrive in an environment where leadership neither listens nor evolves. The owner's comment about “direct report feedback” is ironic, given how quickly most of them left.If you're considering working here, take the turnover rate seriously—it reflects deeper, systemic problems.

I was confident that I had a very technically capable team watching for anything that needed addressed during this time, things that I wouldn't even know to look for. I extended our working arrangement and they have worked with us on our website and SEO ever since, over two years now. I view CBI as a very important part of my company, trust them 100%, and enjoy working with them. They are one of the few companies that over-deliver. Highly recommended

      I feel like they are the best "hub" to go to when it comes to connecting to people, non-profits, for-profits, public officials, all communities, I really can just sit here and list things off my head for a long time. It really is amazing how rooted they are in the city of Houston and beyond. Strongly recommend for you or your organization to reach out to Outreach Strategists. It still amazes me how creative they can be when it comes to almost anything. I know that sounds so broad, but that is how knowledgeable the people are here. If you need to connect to people or the public, they will get you connected.

How much does a US-based digital marketing firm charge?

In terms of monthly retainers, HawkSEM reports that the digital marketing budget ranges between $1,500 and over $10,000.

  • Content marketing: $2,000-$30,000

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.  

Here's an estimated timeline based on a digital marketing service

  • Branding: 2-4 months 
  • Digital advertising: A few weeks 
  • SEO: 3-6 months 
  • Local optimization: 2-3 months 
  • Social media marketing: 2-3 months 
  • 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.
