    This review is long overdue but I've had The Ad Firm as my SEO company for over 6 years now and they've been nothing but golden! They don't try to throw you off with confusing jargon and reports, just straight up results.

    I had a different company host my website for around 9 months but I had the same recurring issues with hackers messing with my website. They could never figure it out and I'm not sure what you guys did but its been 1 full year since I've had you and 1 year since I've had my account infiltrated. You deserve 10 stars for that alone!

    I have dealt with numerous digital marketing firms to optimize and design my website, but I've always just ended up overpaying for subpar service. In comparison to The Ad Firm, it was like night and day! Their whole team is so perceptive and understands exactly what we needed. Unlike other companies that try to throw you off with long, complicated monthly reports, The Ad Firm sends concise, straightforward reports that show progress. Thank you!

    We were looking for a digital marketing company that could help us go to the next level. We were searching for a company that takes time to learn our business and industry and then take that information and help us grow in whatever marketing channel needed. From our first call, we noticed that we were not greeted by some salesperson but Ari who clearly knows her stuff. They created a built-out marketing strategy that was easy to understand. successful than we expected. Two big thumbs up for sure

    My business took a hit during the pandemic but The Ad Firm's PPC and SEO services helped to keep the doors open. We were looking to grow before that quickly changed to just making sure we didn]t have to fire anybody. Within the first quarter of their google ads launch I was getting an average of 18 more orders weekly! You guys are rockstars. Now today our business has grown over 50% since 2020.

    I have gone through 3 SEO companies or so they claim to be and all of them have been garbage for the most part. Finally started to have faith in SEO again after seeing what Sophia and the team have been doing. They have already identified more issues with our website in the first month than our last 3 companies combined.
