I would never recommend to use this company for advertising. They claim to be experts but they got my google ads account banned almost immediately after running ads for me. It took them 3 months to resolve the none existent issue. I had to pay there advising fee for every month that the account was banned, and when they finally managed to get it running again, they ran the worst returning campaign in my companies history. Don't waste you time or money with these people.

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.

Webosition brought Avour to life from the ground up and delivered far more than a website. They helped create the business itself — from LLC formation and business registration to brand strategy, logo design, messaging, website development, digital storytelling, and our entire digital footprint — the whole nine yards.What impressed me most was their ability to combine business strategy with creativity. Every element felt intentional and aligned, creating a brand presence that looked sophisticated, credible, and market-ready from day one.Their process was collaborative, professional, and deeply strategic. They understood the vision, refined it, and translated it into both a real business and a powerful digital presence that truly represented the brand.If you’re looking for a team that can help create, position, and launch a business the right way, I highly recommend Webosition.
IURII DIVONCHUK's Review Sourced from Google
I run a photography company in Chicago, and working with Webosition was genuinely eye-opening. They didn't just review my site - they helped me understand where I was invisible online and why. The audit surfaced real gaps I hadn't noticed: missing schema markup, weak local SEO signals, and positioning that wasn't speaking to the right clients. Since addressing those areas, my authority in search has noticeably strengthened and I'm attracting better-fit leads. What sets them apart is that they think like business owners, not just marketers. If you're a service business looking to stop being the best-kept secret in your market, these are the people to call!

She has built an incredible reputation for helping brands move away from just chasing empty website clicks, and instead building real, deep consumer trust. Her approach is high-level, intentional, and purely relational.If you know a business owner who feels like they are invisible online, or someone who wants their brand to be the ultimate trusted authority in their industry, they need to talk to Joana.Joana, thank you for bringing your global expertise, your sharp strategy, and your incredible standard of excellence to everything that you do!

“Joana is the ultimate professional. After just a few minutes of speaking with her you realize her depth of knowledge about online marketing and how to get you the greatest exposure possible. However, beyond exposure she works her magic to get you results. Those results come in the form of clicks, inquiries and prospective clients. Working with Joana is a pleasure. She is always positive, clear in her communication and focused on listening to your needs and converting those needs into the strategic online marketing that will work for you. I have and will continue to refer Joana to family, friends, clients and industry referral partners. I know when I refer Joana it comes back to me with compliments from those that have met and worked with her. If you are looking for an online marketing specialist to get you seen above your competitors, you will not find a more seasoned professional. I give Joana my highest recommendation.”

You're ready to hire a market research firm when the cost of a wrong decision exceeds the cost of the research itself and when the question you need answered can't be resolved with internal data alone.
That threshold looks different by situation, but here's how to read the signals:
You're ready if:
You're NOT ready if:
Eliminate on three criteria before you spend a single call: methodology fit, sector fluency, and sample access.
What NOT to consider as a criterion: Agency size, award lists, and website aesthetics are not shortlisting criteria.
A standard market research project runs 6 to 8 weeks, on average. Here's how the timeline is usually sequenced:
Start with a pilot if you've never worked with this firm before and the full engagement exceeds $50,000.
A pilot project, typically a smaller, bounded study or a single research wave, serves three functions:
When to skip the pilot and commit upfront:
One important clarification: A pilot is not a free consultation. Budget it as a real, paid engagement with a clear deliverable.
Switch when the data quality is compromised, stay when the issue is communication or process friction, which are fixable problems.
Switch immediately if:
Give them more time if:
Rated 4.8 on Google and 4.7 on Trustpilot, DesignRush Agency Directory is a reliable resource for finding market research companies. 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 40,000 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.
The most disqualifying red flag is a market research firm that proposes a methodology before diagnosing your problem. This is a common indication that the firm is reverse-engineering your question to fit their existing fieldwork infrastructure, rather than designing a study to answer what you actually need to know.
You should also consider the panel opacity; namely, any market research company that can't specify whether they're using a river sample, a proprietary panel, or a blended approach, and what their median panel tenure and re-contact intervals look like, might be concealing a data quality problem.
Other red flags to watch out for are:
A custom market research project from a professional firm can cost from $25,000 to $65,000, with specialist market research commanding the higher end of that range.
In terms of variables, there are five factors that affect final pricing:
The costs most clients don't see coming are fieldwork overruns, unbundled data processing fees, and multi-market add-ons. Here are a few more details about each cost:
The safest way to obtain an accurate proposal is to ask the agency for a full cost-at-risk breakdown, i.e., a list of every line item that could increase based on fieldwork conditions or scope changes.
The right market research agency is the one that's honest about what your budget can and can't buy.
The real risk is underspending just enough to get a study that looks credible but can't answer your actual question:
A credible market research company will tell you upfront if your budget constrains the methodology.
Bad engagements follow the same pattern almost every time: a vague brief, a proposal that doesn't challenge it, and a final deliverable that presents data without telling you what to do with it. Underdelivered outcome looks different depending on what you hired them for:
In practice, these aren't unusual outcomes. More so, they tend to happen when a market research company takes a brief at face value instead of pressure-testing whether the methodology actually answers the main question.
Before you proceed with collaboration, ask the agency three things:
Hiring a market research firm only makes sense when you have a genuine information gap: a decision that's significant, hard to reverse, and cannot be answered with data you already have. Outside of that, you're paying for research you don't need.
Skip the service if your timeline is too short. A properly designed study with a screener, fieldwork, data cleaning, and analysis takes weeks. Rushing that process cuts quality controls, and data with hidden flaws will ultimately give you false confidence. That's worse than no data at all. If you need an answer within two weeks, you're better off with:
Skip the service if the answer already exists. If your transaction data already shows how different customer segments respond to price changes, commissioning a new pricing study is a redundant spend.
