Digital Marketing Review from Rita Dragonette
I've had the pleasure of working with Motion as both colleague and client. As a colleague I was referred to them for a number of my CEO clients. The high-level coverage they were able to secure was very instrumental in significantly raising the profile of those clients and helping them attract the opportunities they were after. As a client, Motion was able to quickly and innovatively operationalize a successful social giving program to fund a scholarship I started as part of the launch for my new novel. The response was terrific for book awareness and quickly became fully funded. The agency is highly responsive, the staff skilled and engaging. Terrific client service.

I was very excited to find a Rochester agency that could build my brand and website when starting my company. I had met with a number of different website developers, graphic designers, programmers from all over the world. As a solo entrepreneur, I would have been managing 2-3 people to build out the branding and website. Instead, Brandmint’s team worked to build the brand and I only had to manage/communicate my vision to them. They are an agency that I can grow into their full suite of services. It saves me time having a one stop shop. The Brandmint team is an incredible local asset and I am excited to work with them on future projects.

RJ Rodriguez's Review Sourced from Google
*UPDATE*2/25: I received a voicemail from Gary this morning. This was the first time ever I’ve been reached out to by this company. Its odd how a bad review will spring someone to action! Gary’s voicemail didn’t apologize for dropping the ball. He acted like I had requested a call minutes before! Either way, if he was aware of this fiasco or not- the fact that their process is unorganized and delayed (at the very least) should not be common practice. Since I made my decision last night not to partner with Tallwave- I will NOT be reaching back out. So any response to this review stating that they called me (after the fact!) is irrelevant.2/24: I reached out through their online email platform through their website over a week ago and they never called me. I followed up twice this week and still no correspondence. My email and phone number that I provided is correct. No hard feelings on my part- I'm moving on but if they can't reach out to a prospect within a week then naturally I question the quality of their advertised services. In my opinion, I should have at least been given a call back within 24 hours.... even if its a generic call to schedule something in the future, I would be satisficed. Zero stars if possible....This is not how I choose to run my business so I see it as dodging a bullet!

this is my 2 cents:*1- still waiting, proposal it takes forever to get delivered 14 days at least or more.*2- you have to pay them to pitch your idea, they explain, 1st meeting is introduction, the 2nd meeting where you explain your idea its the workshop that you have to pay $$ for. how is that even realistic.*3- being sick is not an excuse to delay work and that what they do.*4- you are lucky if you get straight answer with them.*5- no one answers the phone. excuse (we are moving, new office)i don't get it. i contacted 3 people on that office no one was answering i'm very sure they hire movers to move stuff they don't do the labor.**** excuses it could be all true. but delays and paying to explain what service you need is not acceptable***

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.

Holt Group Inc.'s Review Sourced from Google
Watson has been a key strategic partner for us on the creative and brand side since the beginning. We've worked with various members across the team and every member of their staff brings excellence and authentic passion to what they do. They have consistently delivered an end product that excites our customers, adding special creative touches along the way so that the results really sing. The way they're able to translate our vision and mission into deliverables across each project has been a weight off our shoulders. Not every creative agency is able to understand the nuances of our industry and we've been so impressed with the time team Watson has taken to really get to know our industry in homebuilding. We've worked with Watson on deliverables such as high level creative direction, but also getting into the nitty gritty of developing content around our warranty program. This was a huge task and they matched us with exactly the right team members to bring it to life who truly cared about getting it right. They're great friends as much as they are our business partners. We highly recommend partnering with Watson Creative.

S Nash's Review Sourced from Google
When we engaged Watson to help us rebrand, we knew it was going to be a challenging process. We had a long-standing reputation as a respected law firm in Portland, but we wanted our brand to reflect our unique culture and the innovative approach we bring to our clients. Watson's team was thorough and thoughtful throughout the entire process, from primary research interviews with our team to the final custom, hand-drawn identity system. The end result was a brand that not only represents who we are as a firm but also sets us apart from our competitors. We continue to receive compliments on our branding years later, and we credit Watson for helping us achieve that success.

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?
