Victorious

As an SEO expert myself, hiring Victorious SEO was one of the biggest professional mistakes I’ve made.I signed a 6-month contract after being promised that senior strategists would be dedicated to my account. That never happened. Almost immediately after signing, I was switched to junior-level team members who lacked the expertise needed for any meaningful results. Even worse, there was constant team turnover—within six months, I was handed off to multiple different people, none of whom had any real context or long-term strategy for our business.The SEO audit they delivered? A complete joke. It was nothing more than a generic export from a free online tool—something anyone could generate in under 5 minutes. No meaningful analysis, no customization, no real value.Their backlink strategy was just as bad. Low-quality, irrelevant links with lazy anchor texts that made no sense in context. It honestly looked like they pulled them from a cheap marketplace—and you could easily get better backlinks yourself at a fraction of the cost.They were also painfully slow and disorganized. I had to constantly follow up on Slack to ask for updates or remind them of things they were supposed to do. If I didn’t chase them down, absolutely nothing would happen. There was zero initiative or proactivity from their side—unacceptable for an agency claiming to offer premium services.Most importantly, they completely failed to hit the lead quota we agreed on at the beginning of the engagement. One of the core goals of this campaign was to generate qualified leads—and they didn't even come close. The ROI of this engagement has been highly negative. It was a huge waste of time, money, and trust.When I voiced my frustration and asked to exit the contract early, they refused. Their only offer was to reduce my retainer—which also meant doing even less work, at even lower quality. A lose-lose situation.Lastly, just look at their Glassdoor reviews. The internal chaos is real—constant turnover, management issues, and unhappy employees. It’s not surprising, given my experience, that this internal instability bled into the client experience in such a damaging way.Summary:🚫 Overpriced for generic, low-value work🚫 Misleading sales pitch about senior staff🚫 Constant team turnover with no continuity🚫 Backlink quality is poor and lazy🚫 SEO audit is just a free tool export🚫 Slow execution unless you chase them🚫 Zero proactivity or strategic thinking🚫 Didn’t deliver on promised lead targets🚫 ROI was negative and extremely disappointing "

We spent over $100k with Victorious for 6+ months and got shockingly little in return. After an impressive intro call, communication collapsed — just 4 meetings, 20 emails, and 67 chat messages the entire time (even after I complained 3 months in). Deliverables? 82 backlinks, 13 copy docs, 9 technical docs — that’s it, for $100k. Project management was disorganized, planning was poor, and the value simply wasn’t there. A complete disappointment. "

I've never been prompted to write a review from an initial consultation call, but Victorious changed my mind. As soon as their team starts talking, you know right away that they are best in business when it comes to SEO. They ONLY focus on SEO, something rare in the space with most companies also offering other services like paid ad management etc. Victorious' entire focus and team is built around bottom-of-the-iceberg knowledge on SEO for any industry and any product. We run an ecommerce brand in an extremely niche market with an extremely niche, high ticket product within that market. I've had 2 calls each 30 mins with Pete from Victorious and the insight he shared has been more helpful in SEO lift than weeks / months of working with other agencies. If you want to work with Victorious you'll pay for it because they're the best, but SEO is a long-term game of buying online real estate for long-term growth, so for many brands it's a no-brainer. "

I just wanted to share that my experience with Victorious SEO, from beginning to end, was very professional. They always came through with what they said they would and could do. We started to see web traffic more than double within 2 months of implementing all the keywords and making changes after audits.Want to shout out Gerard our sales rep! And Anthony and his team of SEO experts! It was a worthwhile experience with you all. Thank you so much! I highly recommended this company and team if you are looking to boost your ranking and web page traffic! They are truly experts! "
