A solid partner for teams looking to strengthen their paid search efforts. "
Ashlyn Moreen's Review Sourced from Google
We’ve been working with SmartSites on projects for roughly 10 years and trust them to do a great job in helping us reach our goals. Stephanie, Sergey, Richard, and the whole team know what we are looking for and align their strategies with our philosophies. If you are considering hiring them, give them a shot. Tell them William from KMTWF sent you; and recommended them highly. "

As head of marketing, I've seen my fair share of SEO freelancers and agencies come and go! I am extremely confident that these "revolving door" days are long gone, thanks to Smart Sites.I've been working with Smart Sites for over 2 months now and the customer experience has been nothing short of outstanding!My project manager is Charlie, and the guy is top notch. Very prompt communication, good attention to detail and excellent understanding of the SEO landscape.The reporting is very clear and user friendly. I highly recommend working with Smart Sites, they are trusted professionals. Thanks Charlie & team! "

Isaah and Bailey at SmartSites were a massive help with our digital strategy. They expertly managed everything from technical screening crawls to budgeting and campaign management. Their attention to detail on site health and SEO strategy significantly improved our rankings. They are professional, communicative, and truly know their craft. Highly recommended! "

Ashley Ismailovski and her development team have been a pure joy to work with. They have achieved every goal I set out to accomplish plus much more in developing my website. I could not be happier with where things have ended up and I will not hesitate to work with them again in the future. "

Michael Guzman, our PPC Enterprise Team Lead at SmartSites, has helped us tremendously to achieve business goals. His expert knowledge of the platforms, strategies, and best practices has helped us blow our PPC metrics out of the park. He understands how to optimize budget to drive maximum (and quality) results. He is always willing to roll up his sleeves to help us strategize / fix, etc. No task is too large for the SmartSites team. Between having Michael, our expert PPC analyst, as well as access to their back-end developer team, they have solved many technical challenges for us that I have not been able to solve at any other company. For example, they inherited & fixed our messy conversion tracking to where we are now confident in our results & reports. It's been a pleasure working with Michael and I would highly recommend him and the SmartSites team. "

Michael is always available, is always knowledgeable, and always has ideas on how we can improve our PPC campaign. Sometimes I wonder if the man sleeps because I get emails from him late into the night because he is poking around my account finding things to improve. I highly recommend him and his team for your PPC campaigns. "

I thoroughly enjoyed working with the team at Smartsites. Zack and Gabriela (Gabi) were phenomenal! Zack worked on our Google ads and Gabi worked on our SEO. They were professional and knowledgeable. The team was always available and were a quick phone call or email away. I would highly recommend Smartsites to anyone with a business, especially if they are working with Gabi and Zach. "

I have had the pleasure of working with Anastasiia as my SmartSites project manager for about 6 months so far. Not only does she stay on top of projects but she pushes her team to be early on deadlines. She is extremely organized and always adds value to our meetings. She goes above and beyond to make sure things are done and done well. "

Before signing up with SmartSites, I did research on SEO and spoke with several other providers. SmartSites definitely stood out from those others. I've been using SmartSites for about 9 months for SEO, updating my website, setting parameters, and targeting specific demographics for a campaign for Google Ads. My contacts at SmartSites are Jared and Trey, and both have been extremely helpful. They both have taken the time to fully explain the process and link their actions to the agreed upon goals we mutually set. When something or a question arises, their rapid reply is outstanding. I'm a small business owner with limited funds. SmartSites worked with me to tailor their services to meet my budget. Without any doubt, from my first contact, they have always been very professional and approachable. I'm impressed with SmartSites and highly recommend them. I feel like my small business has its own IT department. "

I am very impressed with SmartSites! I started working with them about two months ago and in that time, they have done some SEO work and launched a Google Ads campaign. I’ve been happy with the results so far! I’ve started seeing more organic traffic to my website already, and the PPC campaign has an awesome conversion rate! "

I've worked with Kolbe for the past couple of months for my PPC campaign and he's been truly wonderful! He took the time to get to know my business as well as my desires for marketing. I've hired other marketing companies before and they were terrible compared to SmartSites. I HIGHLY recommend SmartSites as well as Kolbe! He's great!! "

Mike Argento was incredible. He lowered my monthly expenses and we really saw an increase in not only clicks, but in conversions, calls, and foot traffic.
