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.

      Nonprofit Review from Paige Lewis Sandford

      The Miller group is a committed, savvy and creative partner who can look at a situation and break it down into a realistic strategy.We hired The Miller Group to help us get clearer on our strategy for our non profit's membership program. We had premium and free levels, and we needed help understanding what drove interest in joining and staying as a premium member. In summary, we needed to better understand what our target audience understood about and wanted from each of the membership levels. Renee and her team helped us do quantitative and qualitative research and to develop strategies to acquire new premium members. They successfully delivered hard data analyses and suggestions to help us implement different strategies including recommending a new positioning for us. The team helped us understand how to position free versus premium memberships and identify the key drivers for the different audience groups. The Miller Group understood our needs and excelled in their creative approach to devising solutions. Overall, they were accessible, collaborative, well-organized and a strategic partner.

      Matt and his team did incredible work on the optimisation of historical articles on our website, helping these rank and drive organic traffic in a short period of time. This increase has also translated into a boost in conversion through organic channels, which has been amazing to see. We're now following SEO best practices based on the learnings we made from partnering with his team, and are grateful for the continued support they have offered.
