Our industry experts determined the leading market research companies in California that help brands identify opportunities in the marketplace and engage their audiences successfully. Use our practical tool to filter listings by reviews, average rates and team size and pick the best partner for your business needs.

Organic rankings are determined by five factors: top services, reviews, portfolio, awards/press, and team expertise. Sponsored listings pay for a placement that appears above organic positions. Sponsorship does not affect star ratings or review content - read more on our methodology page.

      Branding Review from Anonymous

      Our company required a distinctive name for an innovative platform we are introducing to the veterinary technology field. Given our own emphasis on structure and efficiency, Catchword proved to be an excellent match. They posed thoughtful questions and grasped our objectives quickly and thoroughly. We were very pleased not only with the caliber of the naming options presented but also with the entire experience. The project was managed smoothly, delivered on time, and stayed within budget. We are so pleased with the experience that we plan to recommend their services to other divisions of our company.

      This is a scam, it's robbery you have to put out that much money and you hope you and it keeps increasing until you get $10 profit just to fish you in like a bass on a hook. Beware

      douglas Douglas's Review Sourced from Google

      I started my outbound telemarketing call center selling Las Vegas vacations in 2010.By 2012 I learned that leads were everything, and everything else was nothing.In 2013 I reached out to Jared's Leads for a test file, and that's where it all began.By 2015 Jared was my number 1 lead source. But it was 2017 when Jared became unforgettable to me.He sent me a test file of leads all from the same state. The test file blew up.I asked him how many more of these leads did he have? 15 million made me smile!That's when the rather unthinkable in the lead purchasing relationship happened.I asked Jared to front me the entire database of 15 million and let me make $3,500 weekly payments."Why would I do that, he asked?" It was an understandable question, and I imagine my answer was colorful.But guess what? Jared said "let's do it!"And that's the kind of person Jared is. I went from 2 call centers to 5, revenues increased by 40%, it was life-changing.Jared Knapp is a pillar of integrity, and you'd be hard-pressed finding anyone to tell you different.

      I’ve had a great experience working with Jared’s Leads. I worked directly with Marlon, and every conversation was not only informative but genuinely valuable. There was no pressure — just clear, insightful discussions focused on improving how we operate as a business.The tools and systems they’ve built, especially around AI and strategy, have made a real impact on how we approach our processes and growth. It’s helped us think differently and operate more efficiently.Grateful to have connected with their team and looking forward to continuing to build on what we’ve implemented.
