Strategy Consulting Review from Dragomir Zarev
Bringing Georgi Tonchev into our UK expansion planning was one of the most strategic decisions we made. His structured approach to go-to-market strategy helped us move beyond surface-level market entry and deeply understand how to position Roadgames as a unique outdoor team-building provider in a mature and competitive UK events landscape.
Georgi guided me in refining our ideal customer profilesfrom HR leaders to corporate event plannersand aligning our messaging with their pain points and decision criteria. He played a key role in identifying underserved segments looking for sustainability-driven, authentic outdoor experiences, helping us differentiate against indoor-focused incumbents.
Through his Strategic Reset Framework, we created a repeatable customer acquisition model, clarified our value proposition for each partner tier, and defined a content-led LinkedIn outreach strategy that speaks directly to decision-makers. The outcome is a UK market entry strategy that is both creatively bold and commercially grounded. We now have a clear path to scalable growth, measurable outcomes, and a sharper ESG-aligned brand presence in the UK.

Caplan Artificial introduced artificial intelligence into our medical practice. We are a company that manufactures and distributes medical equipment throughout the Balkans, and we had a 30-year archive of data (digitized only 5–6 years ago) through which we could not efficiently search and access all the information. The guys installed an internal LLM and connected it to our systems, which drastically reduced the time to information. Their team was very professional and friendly.

LMA is a world-class agency & one-stop shop for all of your branding, PR, marketing, + advertising needs. Not only do they know digital and traditional media inside and out so that you don't have to, they are experienced in a wide array of industries from automotive to political (and more), and they think creatively to ensure their clients break through the noise in an increasingly cluttered marketplace. I've only been working with them for 6 months, but can already see why their partnerships last for decades. LMA is an extension of your team and doesn't hurt that they make great friends as well!

Taylor Murphy's Review Sourced from Google
Bringing on Philip Mann was the best thing for our fast-growing business in the addiction treatment field. Since hiring iDesignYours, we have ranked consistently higher for numerous areas and are seeing the impact of this visibility and success. iDesignYours is not afraid to ask the difficult questions, challenge directions, and offer new perspectives. If you are in a business around 2 years old, it's possible that many of your competitors are strongly positioned within various algorithms and search engines. You cannot rely solely on AI to fix this. SEO and AI have to go hand-in-hand, and iDesignYours and Philip know EXACTLY how to make this happen.

Stephen Engel's Review Sourced from Google
I’ve always been skeptical about SEO...
Most SEO experts say it takes months to see results, and even then, it’s really hard to measure progress and know what’s actually working.
Then I met Philip Mann on LinkedIn. He told me he could get results fast, and I figured, “Why not?” What really caught my attention was his focus on Google Maps rankings—because let’s be real, that’s where people actually look when they search for services.
I decided to give him a shot, and I was blown away. In just over a day, I went from not even showing up to being in the top 3 on Google Maps for three different searches. I have no idea how he did it, but I do know this—it works.
I really don’t like to, and I usually don't, promote people or services on LinkedIn. But since I’ve always been vocal about my reservations about SEO, I feel it’s only right to be just as vocal when I come across something that actually works. So, if you’re looking to get found on Google, Philip Mann is the guy to talk to.

My name is Mark Hoch, Director of Operations at Little Achievers ABA in Charlotte, NC. I hired Philip Mann to work on the SEO for our Google Business Page about a week ago. I will say, Philip is the man!!! If you want the best SEO results in the healthcare industry, for great prices, you gotta use him!! He had our Little Achievers ABA Google page go from unranked for many search terms to showing up in the map pac!! And a bunch of the search results are number 1!! Did I mention it only took him a few days!! And this field is saturated!!

I do marketing for a company that has not one, not two, but three websites created & updated by Incend Media. We add to and change websites probably more often than most, but the team at Incend is quick to update our websites: usually within just one business day! They are also great about asking for clarification on our vision, and giving us some of their own insight, tips, and tricks to make our websites the best that they can be, while still reflecting our business personality. In addition, they are extremely helpful in our SEO marketing efforts, and have improved this aspect of our business quite a lot. I absolutely recommend!

What are the red flags when evaluating market research companies?
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:
Case studies with no stated confidence intervals or margin of error.
A research director who goes silent after kickoff and hands you to a junior analyst.
Proposals that treat sample size as a fixed number rather than a function of your required subgroup precision.
If the agency doesn't ask how granular your cross-tabulations need to be before they quote an n-size.
How much does it cost to hire a market research company?
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:
Methodology: Qualitative research (focus groups, in-depth interviews) costs more than quantitative (surveys) because it involves harder-to-reach participants and higher incentives per respondent.
Sample size: More respondents means higher fieldwork and incentive costs, wherein the minimum viable sample varies significantly by methodology.
Incidence rate: This is the percentage of the general population who qualify for your study. Low incidence multiplies sample costs because the firm has to screen far more people to fill each completed interview slot.
Survey length: More questions mean longer field periods, more respondent drop-off, and more data to clean, code, and tabulate.
Quality and credibility of analysis: Basic cross-tabulation is fairly cheap, whereas advanced analytics entail higher fees.
What do market research agencies charge that most clients don't expect?
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:
Fieldwork overruns: When your target audience is harder to find than the agency assumed, you pay more per respondent to hit your sample size. For example, a study targeting general consumers might screen 1 in 3 people. A study targeting, say, finance decision-makers at mid-market companies who've evaluated a new vendor recently might screen 1 in 12 people; that gap multiplies your fieldwork cost fast.
Data processing fees: Cleaning and organizing your data after fieldwork closes isn't included by default, and each step gets billed separately. The service entails making the sample representative of your target population, categorizing written responses by hand, and merging qualitative and quantitative findings into one coherent output.
Multi-market add-ons: If your study runs across multiple countries, everything it takes to make the research work locally (translating the survey, verifying the translation is culturally accurate, and confirming findings hold up in each market) is almost never included in the base quote.
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.
How do I know if I'm hiring the right market research firm for my budget?
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:
Pricing research with a sample too small to break down results by customer segment
Segmentation work that identifies clusters in the data, but can't tell you how to reach or sell to any of them
Concept testing run on a general audience that doesn't resemble your actual buyer
A credible market research company will tell you upfront if your budget constrains the methodology.
What does a bad engagement with a market research agency look like, and how do I avoid it?
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:
Segmentation studies. The research identifies customer groups statistically, but those groups don't map to any audience you can actually reach or any go-to-market move you can actually make.
Concept testing. The study tells you which concept scored highest, but doesn't inform why the others scored lower, or what's driving the preference, rendering you unable to improve anything or make a confident call.
Pricing research. The agency asks respondents directly what they'd pay. Respondents don't answer that question honestly. The result looks like data but reflects no real purchase behavior.
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:
When does it make sense NOT to hire a market research company?
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:
8-12 in-depth interviews with target customers
Your own CRM or behavioral analytics
Existing syndicated reports from sources like Forrester, IDC, or Euromonitor
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.
