      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)

      Web Design Review from John Pennypacker

      Thrive Marketing has been a game-changer for our digital presence. We came to them needing more than just a website refresh we needed a full strategy to attract, convert, and engage our audience online. Thrive delivered. They started with a complete website redesign that didn't just look better, it performed better. The new site is clean, fast, easy to navigate, and optimized for lead conversion. It reflects our brand and has significantly improved how we present ourselves to the market. From there, Thrive helped us build out a strong content strategy. Their blog content is thoughtful, well-researched, and SEO-driven. They don't just write to fill space, they create assets that bring real traffic and support our business goals. One of the biggest impacts has been on SEO. Thrive helped us target high-value keywords, fix technical issues, and earn quality backlinks. We've seen consistent growth in organic traffic and an increase in qualified leads as a result. They've also helped us get featured in relevant industry articles, further boosting our visibility and credibility. Lead generation is up, our search rankings are stronger, and were now being found by the right audience. Best of all, Thrive continues to support us with updates, analytics, and ongoing strategy, they really feel like an extension of our team. If you're looking for a reliable, strategic marketing partner to grow your digital presence and drive real results, we highly recommend Thrive Marketing.

      Titan Growth has helped us grow our business by getting us new customers through SEO and Paid Media (Google, Facebook, Instagram, Yelp, and LinkedIn). We just had our best month ever up 110% YOY from their efforts. Our old agency was good, but these guys are great. The TitanBOT technology is impressive. We had a new employee come to us from a competitor and tell us that our competitor had an emergency meeting to figure out how to stop us from taking so much business from them. Titan is great!

      Couldnt have had a better experience! This wasnt just a video shoot - before we even started rolling there was a comprehensive discussion around the goals for the project and how success was to be measured. Following production, I received guidance on how best to utilize the content for maximum impact. And, of course, the quality of the work spoke for itself. Would enthusiastically recommend Lead Wolf to friends, colleagues, etc.!!!

They helped me build my website and continue to help me with SEO optimization, google ads, updated blog posts, and marketing ideas and spending advice. One thing that stands out to me is how prompt Matt is at responding to me either by email or text whenever I have a question, and how seamlessly he and his team interface with ours.

      We couldn't have asked for a better team than Sector 45! They are incredibly responsive, insightful, and helpful. Before working with them, our website was cluttered, confusing and outdated. We were also dealing with constant issues with our previous website company. Sector 45 gave our site a true "facelift," transforming it into a modern, clean, and user-friendly design that truly reflects our practice. We are thrilled with the results and highly recommend them to any plastic surgery, cosmetic surgery, medspa practice looking for a new website, a website redesign, and ongoing support.

      Icatch Media built and now maintains my website, and I couldn’t be happier with their service. From the start, they made the process smooth and stress-free, creating a professional site that represents my business perfectly. What really stands out is their responsiveness — anytime I’ve had a question or request, they’ve gotten back to me quickly and made updates without delay. It’s reassuring to know my website is in good hands, and I appreciate their ongoing support and attention to detail. Highly recommended!
