      We have used many SEO companies over the last 15 years, and every single one of them was a disappointment, failing to produce the results that were promised. That was until we began using JSL. They have dramatically improved our search results. It is also clear that they are carefully monitoring the changes in algorithms and methodology used by search engines by consistently engaging with us on new ways to ensure the authority for our website remains and improves. Their incredibly competent staff are immediately responsive to our questions, suggestions and needs. Colin, Sarah, Chris, Angel and the rest of the team have our utmost confidence and respect. From experience, the world of SEO is full of fraudsters and hucksters. JSL bucks the trend and takes pride in doing the job they are retained to do, and they do it very well. I cannot more highly recommend them.

We had a vision for a promotional video with a tight turnaround time and they were incredibly accommodating and flexible in helping us bring the project to life. Not only did they assist us with the creating the script, they provided clear, professional direction the day of the video shoot. Following the shoot, they were receptive to all our input and incorporated our feedback quickly to ensure the end product met our expectations. Highly recommend reaching out to this crew for your marketing and video needs!

Not only does he know what works, but he also takes the time to clearly explain the “why” behind his strategies—even when they differ from what others are doing. His communication is prompt, and he’s always willing to jump on a call, saving us from the frustrating back-and-forth emails we’ve experienced with other companies. David has truly been a godsend to our marketing efforts.

      Working with DEKSIA has been an absolute pleasure! They've more than doubled our advertising engagement, and our CTR is at an all-time high. The team is not only fun and patient but also critical thinkers who really listen to our unique goals and tailor their strategies accordingly. I’m thrilled with the results and will continue to work with them moving forward. I highly recommend DEKSIA to anyone looking for a partner that truly invests in your success!

      Liz Hilton's Review Sourced from Google

      If you are the type of person to question and challenge your partners, Deksia is not a good fit for you. I identified a weakness in Deksia's business which they thought was strong and I was treated like I was crazy. I did recieve an apology for my mistreatment of and the gross mismanagement of my account. The fact remains that I was upsold on digital marketing while Deksia had no competent staff to manage my search engine marketing (SEM). In the 6 months we worked together they neglected to verify my google account, they neglected to connect my google tag (so there was no way to optimize) and they reported bad data to make themselves look good. For the entire time I was paying them (and google!) they had my brand name in every search term. This went on for over 6 months! Why didn't I catch it sooner? Because I had a baby. I had trusted them to take care of SEM so I wouldn't have to worry about it. Once I was out of my postpartum haze and I was able to look under the hood. I found that over 85% of their reported sales were attributed to my hard earned organic reach. And yet they would self congratulate themselves and ask me to raise my SEM budget. When I revealed this to them they tried every gaslighting technique in the book. They took advantage of my trust in them. Their marketing VP even asked why they should spend time doing a postmortem of their mistakes when they could be spending time "making me more money". How can you move on and improve if you never examine your mistakes? Even getting them to admit they made all these errors took me hiring a 3rd party to generate reports and attribution models so we could uncover the truth of Deksia's performance or in this case lack thereof. There was no effort to make things better even after I had spent 6 figures with them on various projects. Instead I was billed for another 2 months after ending the relationship because it was in our contract. If you are signing a contract with them- take that part OUT! I had to pay them for doing nothing while I was paying someone else to fix the mess they made.Adam Bird is the glue holding this house of cards together and the only reason I do not completely regret working with Deksia. I came to them to elevate my brand, Swaddelini. Adam did a phenomenal job unveiling the DNA of the brand and giving me a deeper understanding of my customer. Shelly is also very talented. She took the direction from Adam to create brand messaging and imagery that did exactly what I wanted it to do. Deksia has strong creative talent that can deliver a good product; unfortunately, they lack the technical expertise to bring it home and they lack the leadership to build long lasting customer relationships.
