WordPress Website Design Review from Shellsea Moala
I am very pleased with our website. They really captured what we wanted and we don’t have anything bad to say about them. They were prompt with communication and for a small business, gave us a really good deal on our website.
WordPress Website Design Review from Gaston Magrinat
The team is personable. The visual design is professional. When the engagement was going smoothly, communication was responsive and the relationship was positive. That is the full extent of what I can recommend.$16,610 paid across a website build and eight-month SEO programme. When the structural failures emerged commercial content hidden from search engines from day one, a broken contact form for four months, core deliverables marked complete in their own system that had never been done the pattern became consistent and never changed. Friendly responses. Reassurance. Deferral. Not in scope. Next month.When I submitted a formal nine-section evidence package drawn from BRJ's own contracts and internal records, their response was to propose continuing the retainer at $995 per month to complete the outstanding contracted work. Every item in that proposal was already in the original contract. That proposal was their own written admission that eight months of billing had not delivered what was contracted.When I declined and requested a refund, their formal written response claimed the Scope of Work was fully executed. Their own internal documents list the same deliverables as outstanding in April 2026 that were marked complete throughout the engagement. Both documents are BRJ's. Both cannot be true.Not one specific failure was acknowledged. Not one item of evidence was addressed.Mistakes happen in every agency engagement. What defines an agency is what they do when mistakes are documented and presented. This agency's answer across every avenue, verbal and written was to engage with none of it.Before signing, ask specifically what accountability looks like when contracted work is not delivered. That answer matters more than anything in the sales process.
WordPress Website Design Review from Jason Kremers
Working with Big Red Jelly was awesome. Very engaging and collaborative, I felt confident in their team throughout the process, and from week 1, was blown away on the speed of progress. Stephen Sobisky is a wizard on website development! Also, I have been very impressed post-launch with their responsiveness to support requests or questions with further tweaks.

Web Design Review from Roshan Kodabuckus
Sara and the team at Mojo are fantastic at what they do. I reviewed a number of vendors before moving forward with Mojo Media Agency, and Im very happy that we decided to move forward with them. They know their business inside out, from technical knowledge to understanding their audience to platform efficiency. And they are incredibly patient, always enthusiastic, great at problem solving and we are extremely pleased with our final website. I highly recommend Sara and the team, and I have a lot of praise for their technical skills, stakeholder management, and ability to deliver what was agreed (and beyond).
Web Design Review from Chirag Patel
Mojo Media did an amazing job building our new website for District AV. We worked with Sara, and she was great from start to finish. From the beginning, she listened to the vision I had for the site, understood our goals, and translated that into a design that was exactly in line with what I was looking for.District AV is a residential technology design and integration company, so it was important that the website felt polished, professional, and aligned with the high-end homes and clients we work with. Mojo did a great job helping us present our services clearly, including lighting control, motorized shades, audio/video, networking, security cameras, smart home control, and support.I've been involved in building a handful of websites in the past, and this was by far the easiest process. Sara was responsive, easy to communicate with, and kept the project moving without making it feel overwhelming. The design was on point from the initial direction I shared, and the final site gave us a much stronger online presence.Since the site is still new, its too early to measure long-term traffic or lead generation results, but the immediate impact is clear. We now have a professional website that better reflects the quality of work we do and gives us a great place to send potential clients, builders, designers, and referral partners.Overall, we're very happy with the final result and would highly recommend Mojo Media to any business looking for a strong website design partner.
Web Design Review from David Ricci, S.S.W., A.A.C.

Influencers Review from Marie Sophie Franke
The positive things I have to say about Josephstudios are endless.Our primary point of contact, Daniel, has been assisting us with the creation of a landing page and helping us to coordinate and arrange all of our marketing initiatives. Working with him has been a true pleasure; he is highly proactive, highly responsive, and always at the top of his game. I also like that he has a wealth of resources at his disposal for any issues that may arise outside of the parameters of our assigned tasks.
SEO Review from Nathan Judd
During the launch of our new website, JosephStudios provided SEO consultancy assistance to our firm. The SEO specialists' expertise really amazed us, and they offered us a plethora of advice that have improved the organic rank and traffic of dozens of our product pages. We have also worked with JosephStudios on CRO consultations, and the outcomes of that project have been just as successful. All things considered, we have loved working with JosephStudios and heartily recommend them.
Digital Marketing Review from Ramirez Ruben
The company worked with several vendors over the course of two years in an attempt to have the penalty lifted; however, Josephstudios was able to produce results in just two months. The agency was able to restore and improve a large number of the listings that Google Panda had previously deleted with quick and dedicated work.

Web Design Review from Francine Schwartz
I had such a great experience working with this web designer. He is incredibly professional, but also so easygoing, which made the whole web design process feel smooth and stress free.He was really flexible with ideas and changes, and at the same time knew when to step in with helpful advice and best practices. That balance made a big difference, I felt supported the whole way through without ever feeling overwhelmed.If you are looking for a web designer who is skilled, thoughtful, and just genuinely easy to work with, I would absolutely recommend him.
Web Design Review from Julia Stanislavskaia
I have found Sam online as I needed a new website for my business (in healthcare). I find a local business owner very appealing over something corporate and felt that Sam was likely the right fit and it was definitely the right choice! Sam is very client-centered as he listened and addressed all my needs and questions, took his time with all my concerns and incorporated everything that I wanted and needed into my new website. As a result, the web design was amazing, I love my new website and so far, it has increased my clientele by 30%. I am very satisfied with the web design itself, the web maintenance service and for me, it is very important how personable Sam is, as he always has the answer to my questions and provides support in a timely manner. I have had web designers before, but this is my first recommendations and I can't speak highly enough. Thank you!

Web Design Review from William Chi
We had a great experience working with Rock Salt Marketing on our website redesign. From the beginning, they took the time to understand our business and industry, which led to thoughtful recommendations instead of a one-size-fits-all solution. The project was well managed, communication was consistent, and the team was always receptive to feedback. The final website is cleaner, more professional, and provides a much stronger foundation for our long-term SEO and digital marketing efforts. We would confidently recommend Rock Salt to businesses looking for a collaborative marketing partner.
SEO Review from Jordynn Wynn
Weve been working with Rock Salt for our companys SEO, and theyve been an incredible partner throughout especially during our recent web migration. They stepped in to audit the work of our migration agency and caught a number of critical SEO issues that could have seriously impacted our traffic. Their attention to detail, availability, and deep knowledge made all the difference in ensuring a smooth and healthy transition.Beyond their technical skills, theyre just a joy to work with collaborative, positive, and genuinely invested in our success. Theyve consistently gone above and beyond, and its rare to find a partner that feels this much like an extension of your internal team. Highly recommend Rock Salt if youre looking for real SEO experts who care.

Logo Design Review from Karen Padrevita CCUE, CCUFC
We hired Alicia to assist our CU with a rebranding project, including a new logo. Alicia was strategic with her work, guiding our team with creating a clear foundation of who we are as a community financial institution and who we want to be. Through her work, we crafted a clear and actionable Mission Statement and her work on the new logo brought life to our marketing. Many times, since Alicia has been open to providing feedback on projects that we are working on and simply being there to throw ideas at.
Digital Marketing Review from Shaun Bernstein
I have had the pleasure of working with Alicia on several projects, but got to see her work firsthand while I was a contractor, and she was a marketing strategist for Gemineye. Alicia's deep insight into the financial services space allow her to craft copy that works. She can write headlines and messaging that convert, and has a keen understanding of the revenue generating impact of her work. Marketing in these spaces requires any marketer to understand the value add that they bring to the table, and Alicia is excellent in that department. I would highly recommend working with her on any opportunity, in any space.
Branding Review from Sarah Aleksich
Alicia possesses the unique skill set of a hybrid brand manager and creative director/designer. This would normally necessitate multiple roles, but shes able to offer an incredibly strategic approach to crafting a brand narrative, inclusive of messaging and positioning, while simultaneously creating a visual identity (with options) to match. Shes very methodical in her approach and quite skilled at working across stakeholders and incorporating all points of view. She forces you to take a step back, to look at the brand holistically and to truly understand the customer in order to build a solid foundation for brand and design work. Her framework always includes solid data, for research, benchmarking, and future reporting. I found working with Alicia inspiring, reflective, and intentional. The process was equally as rewarding as the outstanding final work product! In addition to her technical skills, shes a collaborative, compassionate, empathetic and kind personsomeone youd want to work with on any project. She would be my go to for any future brand, product positioning or creative design work in the future.

We hired Reap to help stand up our Amazon store and grow our sales. We worked together for a few months and they improved our overall branding on Amazon and setup our advertising. Our experience with Reap has been good so far, and came highly recommended through the startup CPG community - with them having helped co-found the DFW CPG organization and also having taught the Winning In Ecommerce class in the SKU Accelerator program for brands like ours. The Reap team are great partners- they are highly strategic, metrics focused and very responsive. We have access to a number of resources that can give us strategic insights about our campaigns, to fighting case logs and keeping us instated, to more ecomm strategy help from their Chief Strategist, Jason Roussos.Because of the uniqueness of our product, we realize this requires a solution that isn't cookie cutter. We've been able to pivot and move pretty quickly as Reap is learning more about our industry and buyers. Each team member we've interacted with is professional and responsive. Overall, we're happy with the Reap team and look forward to continuing our relationship in the future.
eCommerce Review from Jocelyn Payne Atkinson
We hired Reap to optimize our ecommerce website and strategy. We worked together for over a year and they improved all aspects of our digital marketing: SEO, conversion rate optimization, email marketing and UGC advertising on Meta. Reap recommended platform changes and then helped us make the smooth transition from WooCommerce to Shopify and from MailChimp to Klayvio. Moving to these platforms has been one of the best decisions we have made! The Reap team are truly great partners- they are highly strategic, metrics focused and very responsive. On top of all of that, they are just really good people and a pleasure to know.
eCommerce Review from Michael Freed
We have loved working with Reap. Knowledgeable, kind, efficient, creative - everything we needed to launch a company with 1 SKU and write a success story.

Hello, we are a strip club that has been operating for over 5 years. For six months we have been looking for a targetologist and a comprehensive solution for our niche. We faced such problems as quickly spending the budget for the first week of the result "0", that is, we simply poured money into the void. There is no system and organization. We found the AG Marketing company through a search engine, at the first stages of cooperation, we liked the systematic approach. The organization and professionalism of the team. Our niche is quite complex in advertising, and in principle we did not make big bets on attracting our audience through FB. But in the first month of work we realized that we simply turned to the wrong companies. In the first month of work, 10% of guests came through targeted advertising. At the end of the second month we had a queue to our club. To say that we are delighted with this is an understatement. I recommend this company 200%.

Real Estate Review from Kirk Russell
M, my representative, was extremely focused on not only the quality of the results we obtained but remaining on track and within the budget of each project. She was very easy to work with and always seemed genuinely interested in getting results for my business. We have now worked together for over 6 years and I could not be happier with her results.

Exceptional Team.This is our experience with Black Ops Agency, hopefully to those reading this will help and finding the right AV team for you.I recommend Black Ops Agency.Background: hosting an in-person austin event requiring microphones, speakers, and full recording with 4 angles.From the beginning of contact to the conclusion of the event, Wesley & Ramin were incredible. Their energy and attitude were attentive, patient, and intelligent.One of the most important parts I observed was the communication being CLEAR, and FAST.They were adjustable on everything, and affordable.*-------------------Additional details from our experience:Pros:-We did 1 full event with Black Ops, which included multiple services, however, definitely not all of them. That said - From this experience with them, I & the rest of our team observed no issues from Ramin or Wesley. I have no requests or feedback for them has they have dialed their business in for the services we needed. If anything, I received great feedback to optimize my part.-Highly adjustable-Great Communication-Clear and specific-Clean and professional, not to "Casual" nor stilted, preggish, or overly formal. Just good people who get it done!Cons:Only Con which is more of a reminder to all those looking for this service would be: Their energy type (attitude-personalities-etc) may not resonate with everyone. It did for us, and I know many people who would also resonate with them. - I wanted to add this as it's essential in any business, event, or other construction, having the right people, not just in their skills, but the way they work and process internally, is frequently overlooked.--------------------I am extremely happy with the results of Blacks Ops Agency for our event AV team.* Compared to similar teams in the areaThank you,Dax Johnson

We turned to Doctor Carmine and the Web Domus staff to save our business which was now one step away from closing. We chose them after consulting many professionals. They immediately seemed to be the most structured and competent and we were not mistaken. We discovered that Web Domus has many years of experience behind it and we found the strength of a staff, of a team that works in synergy, each with defined and highly specialized tasks for each task. They are always very kind, helpful and competent and nothing is left to chance. The performance of our site has grown beyond our expectations in a very short time, we have seen first-hand the difference since we relied on Web Domus.

Generative Engine Optimization Review from Connor Lilles, PMP®
Agentic Plug AI did an outstanding job helping our team implement AEO/GEO (AI Search Optimization) the right way. Before working with them, our brand was not showing up at all in ChatGPT or other AI-powered search results. They walked us through the exact design, schema, and structural changes needed to make our site readable and rankable by AI systems, and it worked. In less than two weeks, we were able to get visibility in ChatGPT and early improvements in Google search as well. Their guidance was clear, strategic, and actionable, and it gave us a major head start in an area most companies are still ignoring. I would highly recommend agenticplug.ai to any business that wants to future-proof their search presence and start winning in AI-driven discovery.

I can’t say enough great things about working with Jillian at We Grow the Co! She made creating our website such a smooth and simple process. Her knowledge really stood out — she not only built a beautiful, professional site, but also added details and features I wouldn’t have even thought of. Since launching, we’ve gotten so many compliments on the design, and we’ve noticed more people being drawn to and interacting with our site. She also took the time to answer all of my questions about Google Workspace and Google Business, which made a huge difference.She truly goes above and beyond and knows exactly what she’s doing. I would absolutely recommend her!
Jennifer Caballero's Review Sourced from Google
When I was beginning my counseling practice I knew that I would need some help with branding and building a business site. We Grow the Co came highly recommended. From the first 5 minutes of my initial conversation with Jillian I knew I made the right decision! She listened to my vision and goals and helped me create the perfect name and brand for my business (Bud & Blossom Counseling). When the draft for my website launch was ready I was moved to tears watching this vision become reality. Jillian captured exactly what I was looking for and what was created was not only professional and functional but also a complete reflection of me. I have and will continue to highly recommend the services provided by We Grow the Co!

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.
Rated 4.8 on Google and 4.7 on Trustpilot, DesignRush Agency Directory is a reliable resource for finding digital strategy agencies. We owe this to our executive selection team, which follows a strict screening process when featuring agencies on the platform, assessing key performance indicators, like portfolio, client reviews, and industry reputation.
Learn more about DesignRush Agency Ranking Methodology.
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.
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.
