      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)

      PPC Review from Viet Nguyen

      We've had a very positive experience working with HK Digital as our paid media partner. As an ecommerce business focused on sustainable growth and performance accountability, we value partners who combine strategic thinking with reliable execution and HK Digital has delivered on both.From the start, the team demonstrated strong organisation, clear communication, and a collaborative mindset. They took the time to understand our business goals, customer acquisition challenges, and revenue targets, then translated those into structured paid media strategies across our core channels.One of the biggest strengths of HK Digital is their ability to balance performance optimisation with long-term growth thinking. Reporting is clear, actionable, and focused on outcomes that matter to the business not just channel metrics. The team is proactive in identifying opportunities, testing new ideas, and refining campaigns based on data.Since working together, paid media has remained a major contributor to our ecommerce revenue, with campaigns consistently driving qualified traffic, supporting customer acquisition, and helping us scale efficiently. Their responsiveness and willingness to adapt quickly to business needs have made them feel like an extension of our internal team rather than an external agency.Compared to other agencies we've worked with, HK Digital stands out for professionalism, reliability, and a genuinely collaborative approach. They are solutions-oriented, dependable, and focused on delivering measurable impact.I would confidently recommend Travis and HK Digital to any ecommerce brand looking for a performance marketing partner that understands both the commercial realities of running a business and the technical execution required to grow it.

      Performance Marketing Review from Carol Shih

      We've partnered with HK Digital as a performance marketing partner and have referred business back and forth with full confidence. Travis Herndon is extremely knowledgeable, direct, and efficient the kind of partner who doesn't waste time, overpromise, or hide behind buzzwords.His customer service and response time are excellent, communication is clear and matter-of-fact, and most importantly, the results speak for themselves. Travis approaches performance with discipline and accountability, which is exactly what serious brands need.If you're looking for a straightforward, high-integrity performance partner who delivers without the noise, HK Digital is a strong choice.

      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
