Web Development Review from Nicole Glenn
Our company required a new website, and Edgebound stepped in to develop it for us while also implementing an effective optimization strategy throughout the process. At present, their team continues to work with us, ensuring the ongoing maintenance and smooth operation of the site. Since partnering with Edgebound, we’ve noticed a significant boost in our sales, which speaks volumes about the quality of their work. One of the standout aspects of their team is their ability to communicate complex technical concepts in a way that is easy for us to understand. They strike the perfect balance in providing just enough detail to keep us fully informed and aligned without overwhelming us. The team’s performance has been exceptional. They consistently meet deadlines and have shown great reliability, leaving us with no complaints whatsoever. Working with Edgebound has been a seamless and straightforward experience, and they have truly made the process of developing and maintaining our website hassle-free. I am thoroughly pleased with their work and couldn’t recommend them more highly.
eCommerce Development Review from Morgan Hermand
We brought in Edgebound to handle our site development, maintenance, and support needs. Our site had several serious performance problems in terms of speed and reliability. Their first project was stabilizing our platform, which they completed quickly. Since then, they’ve provided a variety of other services. They made some changes to the site’s interface, design elements, and user flow. They also added new features to better support our SEO efforts. Since we started working with Edgebound, our business has improved. They solved all of our issues quickly and developed new features that met all of our needs—everything that they deliver works flawlessly. The team is dedicated, professional, and easy to work with. They accommodate our requests and care about the success of our business. Their team is full of great ideas, and they’re always available to help. They’re accessible and responsive, even during after hours or on the weekends. They’re both professional and personable. The team cares about the quality of their work, and they’re committed to their client’s success.
eCommerce Development Review from Germán Montoya
We needed to completely relaunch our website as our previous site was becoming unstable due to increased visitor numbers, which limited our growth. Edgebound came on board to re-platform our site and has continued to build out new pages. Edgebound created a fully responsive site from scratch, handling the design, coding, launch, and support. They developed the platform on a Magento enterprise so that it could scale with our future needs. Since then, they’ve continued to maintain our site, monitor our analytics, and constantly revisit areas for improvement. They incorporate most of our requests, even when they’re technically challenging, and find workarounds that keep the code clean while still delivering functionality. If any issues persist, Edgebound is extremely quick to rectify them. Edgebound has been both professional and supportive throughout the partnership. The site’s stability has been key for our growth because it allows us to accommodate higher visitor volumes during peak consumer times. They organize their company by teams, which lets the teams tackle projects efficiently. After submitting a brief outline for a new page or function, it will be discussed thoroughly before it goes to the design and coding teams. The analytics team will then look over the new functionality before launching, which prevents potential problems. The site’s stability is also crucial to our success because it gives us the potential to grow. They’ve supported us on this front, which has helped us to achieve our goals.

CRO Review from Windy Hoang
Cole is an expert! I reached out to InterTeam for some conversion optimization help on a paid ad campaign. Cole figured out the issues from just a glance at my Meta dashboard and was able to fix them within the hour. Aside from that, he also gave helpful advice and tips for improving conversions in multiple aspects. Now, I'm getting much higher quality leads from my campaign. The team at InterTeam gets down to business quickly and delivers well. Highly recommend!
PPC Review from 🌀 Hannah Recker
Cole and team have taken our Google Ads account to the next level. Prior to working with their team, we had found a winning campaign type for our organization but didn't have the bandwidth or in-depth knowledge to scale. Their in-depth knowledge and expertise and their flexibility to adapt with our culture of rapid experimentation.Cole and his team have been easy and flexible to work with and week over week are:- Optimizing our campaigns- Building new test campaigns from start to finish (including more in-depth keyword research, copy creation, and build)- Reporting- Bringing new ideas to the tableIn just 4 months, all of our tofu metrics have improved - CTRs, impressions, impression share, etc, but most importantly have doubled weekly conversions and are just getting started.
PPC Review from Nippun Arora
InterTeam is truly one of the best B2B ad agencies for services and SaaS available today. Working directly with their founder, Cole Furrh, has been a fantastic experience.

COMO built the JAL Strategies website from the ground up, and the result speaks for itself.

We have now unveiled our new logo, branding, brochures, business cards, electronic and paper letters heads and templates. They designed new promotional banners, signs and even email footers.

After a few years working with Slick, I can say they are the best in the business. Great websites, superb service, and a team that just gets it. As a marketer, finding a local web team this easy to work with is rare!
Interstaff Immigration Advisors's Review Sourced from Google
Slick Design have delivered exceptional brand strategy, UX, and website design for our corporate migration agency.From the outset, it was crucial for us to partner with an agency that is upfront in their approach, forward thinking, and equipped with sharp design capability—one that could confidently guide us toward the future we envision.What stood out most was the effort they put into truly understanding our business, our long term direction, and how our brand needed to evolve to support that journey.Their strategic insight, combined with their creative vision, gave us a refreshed, contemporary brand identity that resonates strongly with our B2B clients and clearly communicates our strengths and expertise. They helped us modernise our brand in a way that is both authentic to our journey and future-ready.We couldn’t be happier with the outcome and are grateful for their continued partnership.

Matt was a pleasure to work with. Although the partnership did not work out due to the fact of what Indigo specializes in and what my business needed - but Matt and the team were very kind and made the transition seamless. I wish them and the rest of the office good luck!!
Will Valentin's Review Sourced from Google
I dealt with an SEO company on the island for two years and got pretty much no results. I got cold called By Peter from Indigo and he ended up getting me to work with them after about a week or two. With that said in the following months, I finally got set up with them, website, ads, blog posts, etc.I saw results in what I would consider immediate time. Usually, you have to run ads and run SEO for a number of months before you see any result. Less than 90 days, I personally saw a return on my Investment and then some. Multiple calls through ads and an order form they set up on my site. I currently work with Leanna and she’s an absolute animal. Very insightful and informative, keeps in communication weekly, has a positive attitude and always crosses her t’s and dots her I’s. Highly recommend. Tight knit company.

They take the time to understand goals, challenges, and budgets, and then build smart solutions that actually perform.

I have been working with Tye and Mirko for a couple of months now and they are just consistently fantastic. They are highly professional but still warm and friendly to deal with. Mirko runs a fantastic business, and Tye is an oustanding graphic designer. They both communicate excellently and are always flexible and accommodating with what I need. Amazing agency!

I've been working with Mirko and the team for the past couple of months and I must say they're a breath of fresh air after the other agencies I've worked with in the past. They understand the life of a hospo owner/operator and that my time is.. well.. scarce, so they take charge when needed, fill me in on what I need to know or do, and are just overall legends. Tye was an absolute superstar when it came to the rebrand of my restaurant. He made the process super easy and was so intuitive about my wants and needs. So happy with the outcome and excited to continue the relationship to help my business grow. Keep up the great work team!

María Livoti's Review Sourced from Google
I thought she was the ideal person to carry out a job in which she supposedly specializes, which is why I decided on her. I had a product box designed by someone else, long before I contacted her, and I needed a display for this product, aimed at a specific establishment, in which Sara has a lot of experience. When she saw the other designer's box, she not only despised him with shameful arrogance, but also refused to work on the project. A complete demonstration of poor ethics and professionalism.

Russell Hunter's Review Sourced from Google
I approached The Web Guys with what I felt was a challenging project - integrating our inventory system to the website allowing customers to order products which then got pushed directly into our order system. To make things more complicated, we had different price tiers for each product, customer specific special prices and price quantity breaks which all needed to be taken into consideration. Naturally there was some time needed to get their heads around the approach, but once this happened, development on the website really started to move forward nicely.Paul and Anushka were great to work with and really understood the direction I wanted to take the website. Nothing was too difficult which meant the small details which mattered to my clients were actioned. I can't rate them both enough - thank you for helping me through the whole process. Very happy with the end result.

Ask yourself: Can I finish this sentence, "We need to [specific outcome] by [timeframe] because [consequence of not doing it]", without describing an activity like "build a strategy" or "improve our digital presence"?
If you can't answer that question, no digital strategy agency can help you yet.
Agencies are skilled at filling vague briefs with visible work.
If you walk in asking for "a digital strategy," you'll get a document, not a result.
The most common root cause of failed agency engagements isn't a capability gap on the agency's side.
It's a client who didn't define a measurable expectation before signing.
The agency becomes a cost center the moment the brief stays vague.
The BetterBriefs Project global study, published by the IPA and based on responses from over 1,700 marketers and agency staff across 70 countries, found that 80% of marketers believe they write good briefs, while only 10% of creative agencies agree.
The same study found that respondents estimated 33% of marketing budgets are wasted on poor briefs and misdirected work.
Meanwhile, the ANA's "Enhancing Client/Agency Relations" survey found that just 27% of agencies believe clients provide clear assignment briefs, and not a single agency respondent strongly agreed.
Write your one-sentence outcome and pressure-test it with your CFO or a board member before briefing digital strategy agencies.
If neither of them can connect it to a line on a P&L, rewrite it.
Shortlisting by industry vertical is one of the most common and most costly mistakes in hiring digital strategy companies.
An agency that has produced results for three eCommerce brands has not necessarily solved a B2B lead generation problem.
An agency that grew a DTC brand's organic traffic hasn't necessarily navigated the compliance constraints of a financial services company.
When reviewing agency profiles and case studies, filter for problem match, not sector match.
The question isn't "have they worked in my industry?" It's "have they solved the specific problem I have, in a comparable context, with measurable results?"
Despite this, 89% of companies say "experience in our industry" is a major factor when selecting an outsourcing provider, according to a 2024 survey of business leaders compiled by Passive Secrets, making industry match the most common shortlisting criterion, and problem match the most overlooked one.
How to shortlist effectively:
What to look for in case studies:
Red flags at this stage:
Digital strategy agencies should write down what a successful 90-day outcome looks like from their side.
Without a shared, written definition of early success, both sides spend the first quarter doing work they believe is valuable while the other side is quietly keeping score on different metrics.
By month four, the client is frustrated by the absence of visible results, and the agency is frustrated that the client doesn't appreciate the foundational work they've completed.
This pattern is common enough to have a name in the consulting industry: the expectation gap.
The financial consequences of getting this wrong are significant.
According to the ANA and 4As joint study, The Cost of the Pitch, based on 300+ interviews with U.S. brand marketers and agency executives, the average cost of an agency review when no incumbent is involved is $408,500. That’s the cost for the client alone, before accounting for the digital strategy company’s own pitch costs.
When expectations break down and a review becomes necessary, that is the price of a poorly aligned start.
The 30-day milestone should cover access, audit, and alignment.
The 90-day milestone should include at least one deliverable that tests the quality of the agency's strategic thinking before you're locked into a full year.
What to do: Send the agency your written version of the 90-day success before the kickoff call. Ask them to do the same. Where they diverge is where the relationship will break first.
The person who presents to you and the person who runs your account on a daily basis are often not the same.
This gap between the seniority of the pitch team and the seniority of the delivery team is one of the most predictable sources of post-signature disappointment in agency relationships.
Before signing, identify who will be doing the actual work on your account. Ask to meet them.
Ask digital strategy firms what percentage of their time will be dedicated to your engagement. Then assess whether that person has the experience level the engagement actually requires.
Your relative budget matters here. An agency billing $6M annually will prioritize a $150K retainer differently from one billing $900K annually.
The smaller agency may be the higher-priority client, which means more senior attention, faster response, and more accountable work.
The table below shows how staffing typically plays out by agency size, and what it means for how you'll be treated.
| Agency size | Who pitches | Who delivers | Your likely priority |
| Boutique (under 15 people) | Founder or principal | Often the same person | High, but capacity is finite |
| Mid-size (15-75 people) | Senior partner | Account director + specialist | Moderate, senior input is scheduled |
| Large (75+ people) | Business development director | Rotating account team | Depends on your budget's rank in their portfolio |
Most buyers evaluate digital strategy agencies on what they'll do when things go well.
Fewer think through what will happen when things don't go well, which, in any honest engagement, they sometimes won't.
The way an agency handles underperformance tells you more about the health of the relationship than any pitch or proposal.
Top digital strategy agencies identify problems before the client does. They come with a diagnosis and propose a course correction.
An agency that waits for the client to notice and then explains why the results weren't their fault is an agency that will cost you more than the retainer.
The data supports taking this seriously upfront. The SPI Professional Services Maturity Benchmark, a survey of thousands of professional services organizations, cited by Workday's 2025 industry analysis, found that on-time project delivery rates dropped to just 73.4% in 2024, down from 80.2% in 2021.
The same research found that project overruns rose to 11.3% over the same period.
In agency engagements specifically, a Deltek benchmark study found that nearly 40% of agenciesexceedprojectbudgets due to scope creep from poorly defined contract terms.
These aren't edge cases. They're the statistical norm, and they almost always go unaddressed until the client notices the invoice.
Before you sign, understand the digital strategy firm’s process for flagging underperformance: how often they review results against baseline, what triggers an internal review, and how they communicate bad news.
DesignRush sustains a directory of over 30,000 agencies categorized by service category, location, expertise, and reviews. We build our database in two ways:
Agencies can also reach out to DesignRush and must go through the verification process prior to being listed.
Every agency is independently vetted before it can be listed or ranked
Some agencies pay for sponsored placement, clearly labeled and held to the same vetting standards.
Ask in the first meeting who will be on your account after the contract is signed. The most consistent structural flaw in agency sales models is pitch-and-switch staffing: senior operators close the deal, junior operators execute the engagement. The senior judgment that persuaded you to sign is often not what you're buying for the next 12 months.
To protect against this, require that the Statement of Work name the specific individuals responsible for your account, along with their seniority level and the number of other accounts they carry simultaneously. Many digital strategy agencies overload account managers with 30 to 50 clients each. At that volume, no individual client gets meaningful strategic attention, and monthly "strategy calls" become status updates where someone reads your own analytics back to you.
The clearest red flag is a digital strategy firm that arrives at the first meeting with a proposal already written.
A serious digital strategy partner asks about your margins, customer acquisition costs, competitive positioning, and internal constraints before it proposes anything. Additional red flags that signal execution-only thinking include:
Agencies that cannot explain their week-by-week decision-making process either don't have one or don't want you examining it.
The three most common post-signature cost surprises in digital strategy engagements are: change orders for work outside the initial scope, consulting hours billed separately from retainer fees, and technology or platform costs that the digital strategy agency treats as pass-through charges.
A $10,000 project can easily grow to $13,000-$15,000, and a six-week timeline may stretch to twelve weeks. All that can lead to financial overruns, reduced quality, and team burnout. Before signing, request a complete list of every line item not covered by the retainer, including: additional revision rounds beyond those specified, stakeholder workshops, tool subscriptions, third-party data licenses, and any work triggered by internal changes on your side (a rebrand, a product launch, a new market entry).
A well-run agency will provide this list without hesitation. One that deflects is signaling a billing model that depends on scope expansion to improve its own margins.
A credible digital strategy agency engagement in 2025 runs $3,000 to $25,000 per month on retainer, or $5,000 to $150,000+ for a defined project. According to a pricing study drawing on data from 1,200+ agencies, monthly retainer costs span $3,000 to $25,000, with median spending at $7,500 for mid-market companies.
Hourly consulting rates range from $100 to $350 per hour, with senior strategists commanding rates above $250.
On the global side, the 2025 Global Digital Marketing Report by DesignRush puts the worldwide average agency rate at $97 per hour, with U.S.-based agencies averaging $124 per hour.
Yes, a 12-month lock-in with no performance milestone clauses is a structural risk, not a standard industry practice. Long contracts without exit provisions protect the digital strategy firm’s revenue, not your outcomes. A confident agency with a proven process should be willing to build in milestone-based reviews, typically at 90 days and 6 months. There, both parties assess whether the engagement is generating the agreed-upon indicators of progress.
At a minimum, any long-term contract should specify: what deliverables are due at each quarter, what performance benchmarks trigger a strategy review, and what the exit mechanism is if those benchmarks are not met.
Ask the shortlisted digital strategy agencies to show you two proposals from different clients in different industries and explain the strategic differences between them. Agencies with a genuine strategy capability will have fundamentally different recommendations for a D2C consumer brand versus a B2B SaaS company. They’ll offer a different channel mix, different measurement frameworks, and different competitive positioning approaches
Agencies that apply templated thinking will show cosmetic differences: the same services with different company names on the header. A generic proposal signals generic execution. The right strategy depends on your stage, competitive landscape, and ideal customer profile. During evaluation, also listen for how quickly the digital strategy company moves to tactics. Legitimate strategists spend the first conversation asking questions; agencies selling repackaged work move quickly to talking about what they do.
Walk away immediately if the agency makes performance guarantees, refuses to name your day-to-day account team, or cannot explain how it measures strategic success independent of vanity metrics.
These three signals do not indicate inexperience, but a business model designed to obscure accountability. Digital strategy firms that make guarantees like "first page rankings in 30 days" or "500% ROI for everyone" either don’t understand how digital marketing works or are overstating certainty to close the deal.
Separately, if an agency's reporting vocabulary consists exclusively of reach, impressions, and engagement rate with no connection to revenue, pipeline, or customer acquisition cost, the strategy layer is missing, regardless of how sophisticated the pitch sounded. If a digital strategy firm avoids sharing analytics dashboards, performance reports, or access to your own ad accounts, that's a serious warning sign. A successful digital strategy relies on data-driven decisions, and access to those numbers is how you verify you're on the right track.
