WordPress Website Design Review from Sheryl Vazquez
The team at SBO Buzz really came through for me! I was in the process of switching over from another website platform, to Wordpress. I did not realize I would have to redesign my website from scratch! I felt like I really messed things up! I enlisted the help of SBO Buzz, and my website looks great and does exactly what I need it to do! Including pulling over my social media sites, reviews, and integrating the call to action buttons I had incorporated. Thank you!

Heather Heydet Review from Google

Heather Heydet's Review Sourced from Google
Not your typical agency—DAP is in a league of its own.As a fractional CMO managing this project on behalf of one of my clients, I’ve worked with many agencies—and I can confidently say Digital Authority Partners (DAP) stands out as a true performance partner.From the very first sales conversation with Michael Olsher, I could tell this wasn’t going to be a typical “build, set, and report” experience. DAP brought a full, cross-functional team to the table—from strategy to project management, design, and analytics—and every single person contributed with excellence.Mieke, our project manager, was relentless (in the best way) about keeping us moving. Brandon, our Google Ads strategist, brought both smart ideas and budget-conscious thinking—making sure every dollar worked harder and that lead quality was properly measured (not just counted). Greg and Ally created thoughtful, beautifully branded email campaigns. Erin provided invaluable leadership support and continuity. Simon and Codrin built a digital performance strategy that included realistic timelines and performance expectations, while Alamin and Dane added further depth to the reporting and insights.They also designed one of the most beautiful, on-brand websites I’ve seen—executed in record time and with incredible attention to detail. That alone would be worth recommending them—but it’s only part of what they bring to the table.What truly sets DAP apart is how deeply invested they are. This team works on your account every single day, not just during weekly check-ins. We had consistent communication and weekly calls with the entire team collaborating live to solve problems and move things forward.The passion, initiative, and commitment to continuous improvement were evident every step of the way. I’m fully bought in—and believe future projects will only get stronger as we continue building on this foundation.Hats off to co-founders Michael Reddy and Codrin Arsene for building a culture of excellence. Their team is made up of smart, driven, good people who don’t settle for “good enough” and are constantly pushing to improve. If you're looking for a digital performance partner that actually performs, DAP is it.Highly recommend. Grateful for the partnership.

Digital Authority has been fantastic—not just because they delivered results, but also because they are true professionals. They made us feel comfortable by actively listening to our goals and thoughts while working within our budget. After meeting with nearly a dozen SEO agencies and individuals, I couldn’t be happier with our decision to choose them.

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.

Nick is a miracle-worker! I'm amazed how he seems to understand what I want when I don't even know quite how to state it. And, he makes things happen so quickly. When I get uptight and anxious about getting things done, Nick has such an easy, reassuring approach that I relax and simply know everything is being handled. I am SO glad to have Nick and his team supporting me and my company.Karen Ross - KarenRossNow

I've recently started working with SEO Design, my fourth provider in the past 10 years. All I can say is that I wish I'd made the switch so much sooner. They have been absolutely amazing!! In particular, they are readily available to speak with me, are unbelievably prompt in making changes/updates to my site, and have provided invaluable expertise regarding how to promote my work. I have already gotten so much more than I paid for. If you are looking for a provider, you HAVE to contact SEO Design.
