      SmartSites impressed me from day one. They are knowledgable, kind, and most importantly keep things simple and streamlined so that even an SEO-newb like me can understand. Tiffany and Luna are my main points of contact and they are especially great! I would recommend to anyone looking for an agency to really take their website and digital presence to the next level.

      PPC Review from Jim Curry

      At first, a survey was conducted to gather company background, product information, target markets, etc. Next, accounts were established on various Google Business platforms, social media, etc. Then SmartSites created the ads and campaigns, and we were off and running in just a few weeks.

      We have used HigherVisibility now going on 3 years. Our SEO rankings and eCommerce sales have been fantastic over that time span. More than I could [have] anticipated. This team knows what they are doing in the complex SEO and PPC world and are a huge asset to us. 3 years ago, we had basically 0 online presence. Now, we are consistently ranking #1 on Google for our best-selling products. (Verified via email)

      Digital Ink redesigned a dance fitness studio’s website and also produced a marketing video to support its launch. Alongside this, they conducted market and competitor research and created custom email templates. The client, pleased with the outcome, noted that even though the site is newly launched, the quality of work has been excellent. The team communicated clearly, honoured deadlines, and fostered a collaborative environment that made the client feel fully involved in the project.

      TEC Direct Media has helped us on several projects, and has been instrumental in helping our agency "learn the ropes" about programmatic and all things digital. We're always learning new things about digital for our clients, and TEC Direct has always been there when we have a question. They have helped us on two projects in 2016, and each of those were successful and those clients will continue with us in 2017. We consider TEC Direct a strategic partner. D.

      We've worked with Thunder::tech to replace our cooperative's website. They have delivered as promised and more than expected in a professional and timely manner. Their team members are creative, technical and professional experts. We're looking forward to working on a second phase of the project with them starting soon. T::T is big enough a agency that they have multiple experts on the team with overlapping knowledge to get the job done, but not such a huge company where one might get lost as a client. As a web and digital media pro with 20+ years of experience, I recommend Thunder::tech. - JF

      The most horrible people! They are very reckless, don’t show up to appointments. Not once, not twice but thrice. You call to ask they dodge your calls. Don’t expect call backs. I went to Derek and texted him several times about this and asked to call. Nothing! Figured a month would be long enough. Don’t waste your time on these people
