Paul Row CEO at CreativeBuild
1.0★
eCommerce Development Review from Paul Row
After 7-8 weeks, I was getting really annoyed with the delays on the websites, I told them I wanted full access (on phone and in emails) I told them I wanted to be able to start putting my own products on there as they were too slow. I got nowhere with them, told them they would be fired in a few days if not 100% ready to go very soon.I also told them a few times to buy my .ca and .com domains many, many times. They finally bought 2 domains (.com only), then tried to get me to pay $600 for .ca

Web Design Review from Steven Stanimirovic
After taking over a year to attempt to complete a website, and upselling me on everything, way more than originally quoted, they just disappeared.DONT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY!Be careful when choosing a web design company or pay the price as I did.I was originally quoted $2,000 for a website then they kept telling me I needed a server so that would be $1,500 extra and then that the website I wanted to require more and more work and before I knew it they convinced me to spend $7k.

Web Design Review from Edward Brown
Honestly, very rarely I write a review with my opinion or experience but now I have the intention to help people who want to be successful in the online business, first you need to know what you want, second how do you want it to look your project and what effect you want to achieve in the market, and thirdly save time and money and hire Get Set Go Web. After searching and dealing with different designers and developers without success, I finally found Get Set Go Web and they done the best.

The 300 Feet Out team is fantastic. We had a site that was functional, but not ideal and we were working with a website partner that was becoming increasingly resistant to making changes to improve the site. The 300 Feet Out team approaches their clients with great expertise, but also a strong sense of team work — both qualities really show in the quality of their work. Feeling grateful to have found them.

eCommerce Development Review from Christopher Mackey
We saw results as soon as they started running our advertising. Our monthly revenue increased from an average of $50,000 to over $70,000. We noticed a rise in all of the indicators that Google Ads employs, and there was an instant spike in our average sales. Initially, we requested that they contribute a specific amount to our yearly income. We were getting close to $550,000 in revenue in November, and our annual sales target was $700,000.

Worst customer service.Went into the store to ask general questions about pricing, what they do, how they work, etc.Girls at the front did not know how to answer the most basic questions about their company and just told me to go to the website...they didn't even have the common sense to pull up the website and show me what they do...I could not get the most basic answers for the most basic questions I had for them.If an advertising company has awful customer service from the get go...just WOW. Horrible experience.PS. "award winning advertising agency" with a 3.4 rating on google...fantastic. Also reading the other reviews, this is a common theme. The girls at the front desk are ABSOLUTLY THE WORST. Very RUDE.

Chad Q. Martin Principal Designer at HP, Inc

Website Redesign Review from Chad Q. Martin
I've known Dave Benton, CEO of Metajive, for more than a decade, and worked with him and his team on multiple projects, large and small. Having also worked with several of the most prestigious agencies in the world through my role at HP, I can testify that Metajive stands toe-to-toe with the most recognized agencies, and far exceeds them in many cases. Before I was at HP, I ran my own tiny web & app design agency for a dozen years, so when I work with a team on web and digital projects, I have a deep enough understanding of the big picture and the details to be able to evaluate a team's capabilities. But to a person, every individual on the multiple teams I've worked with have had such a deep level of expertise that they simply blow my knowledge out of the water. Whether it's high level framing, marketing insights, a vast history of implementing technical details, off-the-charts visual and interaction design, storytelling... they are absolute masters at the trade. I quickly learned that I could load them up with as much helpful context as possible and then get out of their way... they would deliver far beyond my expectations every time. Simply put, Metajive operates at the top of the field, are experts across every domain in which they work, and are fantastic people to spend time around. You want them working for you instead of your competition.

Digital Services Review from Lyndi Parrett
Working with Metajive has been an exceptional experience from start to finish. Their team consistently delivered high-quality work that exceeded our expectations while maintaining strict adherence to project timelines. What impressed me most was their efficiency they managed to streamline processes without ever compromising on the quality of their deliverables.Communication was outstanding throughout our partnership. The Metajive team proved to be incredibly responsive, often getting back to us within hours of our inquiries. More importantly, they demonstrated excellent listening skills, truly understanding our needs and vision before proposing solutions. This attention to detail made all the difference in the projects success.When we encountered complex technical challenges, Metajives problem-solving capabilities really shone. They didnt just execute tasks they brought strategic thinking to every aspect of the project. Their approach was consultative rather than transactional, making them feel like true partners rather than just service providers. They offered valuable insights and recommendations that enhanced our original concept and helped us achieve better results than we initially envisioned.Throughout the entire project lifecycle, Metajive maintained this collaborative partnership approach. They were proactive in identifying potential issues, transparent about progress, and flexible when project requirements evolved.I was thoroughly satisfied with both the partnership experience and the final project outcome. The professionalism, expertise, and dedication shown by the Metajive team make them an invaluable partner for any digital project. I highly recommend them to anyone seeking a reliable, strategic, and results-driven digital web agency.

This review has been a longtime coming.I have had the pleasure of working with both Rio and more recently Glenn on countless branding and marketing projects for financial services, healthcare and technology clients. Every time I bring them onto a project, they feel like an extension of both my team and the client. To them its more than just another project.Because of that, they're my go-to creative partners any time I need to explore a new brand direction with a client or need additional expertise on strategic marketing execution. They have decades of industry experience and produce quality creative.I think they're a good fit if you're looking to reach your audience on a deeper level and create a long lasting impression with your customer base.

Magister Piazza Review from Google
5.0★
Magister Piazza's Review Sourced from Google
I am an educator with little interest in tinkering with my very simple personal/professional website other than adding and editing content. I discovered Ross and AIM back in 2016 when I needed help migrating and updating my antiquated Yahoo-based website I had created back in 2003. He accomplished this in a very streamlined way, and set me up with a WordPress site that I could easily interact with, and which basically ran itself. In the few instances that I have had to ask Ross for some help navigating WordPress, updating security settings, etc, he has been very helpful and generous with his time and advice. As someone who does not want to get bogged down in the details of web hosting, and who just needs someone to make it work for them, I highly recommend Ross and AIM.

Amy Roman's Review Sourced from Google
Ross and his team provide great service at an affordable price. I have worked with them for about 10 years and they always go over and above for me. When I want to learn how to do changes to my website myself, Ross will send me a video he creates so I can watch how he does things. The company is very responsive and frequently have changes done in a day or two. I feel completely confident in Ross and his team.

Bianca Beale's Review Sourced from Google
Sean and Keanu have been amazing to work with. We've been working with Power for several years, now and they have been the only marketing team that truly makes me feel like they care. They pivot quickly when things aren't working out, and the SEO work they've done and suggestions on the website have brought so much success to my small business. Each time we have a call, we brainstorm new ideas to bring in more business, and the work that they do is thorough and done in a timely fashion. I'd recommend them 100%.

Marisa Belaski-Farias's Review Sourced from Google
Mangrove has great people, who do great work. I initially collaborated with them at a tech company where they completely revamped our WordPress site. Recently, I engaged them to work with the headless CMS Sanity. In both cases, I primarily interacted with their account managers and developers.First, their project management is invaluable, especially for small teams like ours. Having a reliable point of contact to ensure we meet deadlines and stay on top of hours is crucial.Second, their developers are exceptional. They consistently exceed our expectations, offering valuable suggestions and going the extra mile to address any uncertainties.Overall, Mangrove's work has consistently impressed me and my teams, helping us achieve a wide range of marketing objectives.
World Affairs Communications Review from Google

World Affairs Communications's Review Sourced from Google
Prior to connecting with Mangrove, our organization’s website hadn’t properly been updated in years. After having revamped our organizational mission and branding, we needed a complete redesign to reflect our new direction and goals. It was a tall order given that we had years worth of events, broadcasts and other content to consolidate. Mangrove took the project head on and their team understood our needs from the beginning. Their approach was thoughtful and their team was organized, knowledgeable and responsive to our feedback and requests. The finished product is exactly what we had hoped for, and our website now perfectly reflects our revised brand. We couldn’t be happier with the Mangrove team and would recommend them to any mission-driven organization.

I met Anna Colibri over two years ago at the French Tech Hub, where she was giving a talk on the connection between SEO and UX. She was interested to learn more about my WordPress website hosting company, and from there we have worked together on several projects. Anna and her team of digital marketers are dedicated to quality, always interested in learning more, and great to work with because of their positive attitude and willingness to do what it takes to make a project successful.If you are looking for help with SEO, content marketing, social media management, Google AdWords, or email automations, I highly recommend you schedule a call with Anna. She will be happy to share her knowledge with you and point you towards success.

I met Anna at a networking event and I am so happy that I had hired her as my digital marketing strategist. I launched my business as a Fashion stylist and I needed help for my digital marketing and some writing to express with the right words what I do for my clients. Online presence is nowadays so important but can be tricky to create it. I feel like having Anna on my side was a huge plus.After carefully listening to me to get a real sense of my job and my vision, Anna edited and reviewed my marketing materials for me and also gave me brilliant ideas about how to move forward with my marketing strategy. I feel like Anna made a difference and is a real asset when you are building your company. I highly recommend her!

makeout hill's Review Sourced from Google
it took almost 2 months to replace a fan in my computer. was forced to buy a replacement pc because of how long they took for a job that would make any other repair shop ashamed for taking longer than a week.these guys will probably give you the run around. i've had 3 different experiences with them, and they gave me the run around every time about replacing parts, not having them on hand, and having trouble with delivery. too convenient to happen 3 times in a row for me.on top of all of this, they never reached out to me for any updates on my repair. they would only SOMETIMES call back if i called to leave a message first. i would generally expect any communication for any delays in an order.i would recommend going to another shop if you're able to.

My Apple laptop, 11 years old, would not activate and has been in the dark for over a year 😪. Took it to BEST BUY to see if they could repair, but they could not.My neighbor recommended Nerd Crossing. Took my laptop for a consult and Eric took a good look at it. Laptop needed a new fan, battery and some major back-up.I picked up the laptop about a week later and has been running like new!!!Appreciate the professional care Nerd Crossing did and highly recommend them for technical support on your electronics: laptops, ipads, computers 👍🏼.

Web Development Review from trine bretteville
The new site is great. We do not get a ton of traffic, so I have not been able to gauge much external feedback. However, I have been happy with the new look of the site. I am confident that our customers will appreciate the user-friendliness as well. They communicated well, constantly keeping me abreast of their progress. They also incorporated my feedback into the process. Their team delivered the final product in a timely manner. They completed everything in an expedited manner for a fair price. Austin was easy to get in touch with. Making changes along the way was never an issue. I cant think of anything. The engagement was pretty seamless. Communicate with them. If you tell them exactly what you are looking for, they will make it happen.

Web Design Review from mariena hawkins
Tusk creative studio communication skills were great. Regardless of who we spoke to, they had all the information they needed. I did not once need to update or remind them about something they had discussed with another member of our team. We could always continue where we left off. I don't think they are the only company that could have given us this solution, but they were efficient in how they understood the stresses of our business and what needed to be done. They didn't wait for us to give them more information. I cannot think of any way Tusk creative studio could improve. They were good. I think they did an amazing job in providing what we needed.

Through the course of over 10 years as a business owner who needs digital marketing services, I’ve never come across a team that’s as knowledgeable and goal-oriented as the one that now works on my key project.

We are very impressed with Reputation X. They are extremely knowledgeable and organized when it comes to branding and building a positive reputation for our company. My project manager oversees the team they created for us and she is very responsive to our questions and makes sure we get the results we are looking for, and need. I have worked with many other companies in the past and I think this will be the last company I’ll need to search for, because we plan to continue working with them well into the future.

The Runningfish team was great to work with. I own a floral business and had no website but was interested in getting one to showcase my work. I was referred to Runningfish by past coworker/friend and they designed a beautiful website for me. I highly recommend them if you're interested in getting a website developed for your business.

The web design work from Modern Labyrinth is top-notch. I’ve worked with a few developers in the past, but none delivered the clean design and lightning-fast performance that I got here. Their attention to detail, from layout to mobile optimization, really sets them apart. I get compliments on my site all the time now!

Well experienced staff that truly understands the inner workings of Amazon. They bring expertise, wisdom and most importantly, revenue growth. EliCommerce is the agency for your brand if you want to grow on Amazon.

My team and I have been through many consulting services, eliCommerce is hands down the best service they raised my sales by 625% !! I am now the top search result for almost any keywords involved with my products, if you are looking to grow your established business I would highly recommend speaking with Eli and his team.

Rachel Cohen's Review Sourced from Google
We’ve been through 3 different ad agencies and amazon consultants. In fact, I feel like they just burnt our $. None came close to the focus and growth of EliCommerce. We experienced 433% sales growth on one of our SKUs and it is currently a best seller in its primary category. Eli and his team are informative, respectable and I can even get on a call with him at midnight. That’s a partner in my business I want to have. Let’s just say I’ll be continuing to work with elicommerce for decades to come.

Frequently Asked Questions About SEO Companies in California
What red flags should I watch for when evaluating SEO agencies in California?
The most common red flags when evaluating SEO companies in California are guaranteed ranking promises, vague reporting, and agencies that can't explain their strategy in plain language before you sign. If they can't tell you clearly what they'll do and why, they won't be able to tell you why it isn't working either.
Guarantees of a #1 ranking on Google: No SEO company in California or anywhere else can guarantee this
No mention of link building sources: Where links come from matters as much as how many
Strategy that's identical across industries: A local California restaurant and a B2B SaaS company need fundamentally different approaches
Contracts that lock you in for 12 months with no performance benchmarks or exit clauses
Proprietary reporting dashboards that don't connect to your own Google Search Console or Analytics data
No clear point of contact: If you're passed between account managers in the first month, that's the pattern for the whole engagement
How long does it take to see results from a California SEO agency?
Most businesses working with an SEO company in California start seeing measurable movement in organic rankings and traffic within 3 to 6 months. However, meaningful business results, like leads or revenue tied to organic search, typically take 6 to 12 months.
The timeline depends heavily on how competitive your market is, how established your domain is, and how much foundational work needs to happen before rankings can move.
A California search engine optimization company that promises faster results without asking about your domain history, current technical health, or competition is telling you what you want to hear.
The honest answer is that SEO compounds over time. The agencies worth hiring will show you what to expect in months one through three versus months six through twelve, and tie those expectations to your specific starting point, not an industry average.
What do SEO companies in California charge that most buyers don't expect?
Most companies in California quote a monthly retainer that doesn't include several costs that directly affect results. Ask for a full breakdown of what's in the retainer and what will be billed separately before signing.
Content production: Many California SEO agencies charge for retainer management separately from the content itself; blog posts, landing pages, and copy rewrites are often billed per piece
Technical SEO audits: Initial site audits are sometimes scoped as a one-time project fee on top of the monthly retainer
Link building outreach: Some SEO firms in California include a fixed number of links per month; additional placements cost extra
Local SEO setup: Google Business Profile optimization, citation building, and local directory management are frequently quoted separately
Reporting tools: Third-party rank tracking or analytics platforms are sometimes passed through to the client at a markup
How do I know if an agency is using tactics that could get my site penalized?
The tactics that get sites penalized, such as manipulative link schemes, keyword stuffing, cloaking, and AI-generated content at scale, rarely show up in a sales pitch.
You have to ask directly and watch how they answer: where do your links come from, and can you show me examples? A legitimate SEO firm in California will name specific publications, outreach methods, and link types.
Vague answers like “we have a network of partners” or “proprietary methods” are the answers you need to walk away on.
Also, ask whether their content strategy involves any AI-assisted production and how it's reviewed before publishing. Google's helpful content guidelines penalize low-quality scaled content regardless of how it was produced.
What does a bad SEO engagement look like, and how do I avoid it?
Bad SEO engagements follow a recognizable pattern: activity without accountability. Monthly reports full of metrics (impressions, crawl stats, keywords tracked) that never connect to traffic, leads, or revenue.
To avoid it:
Set business KPIs at the start - organic traffic to key pages, leads from search, revenue attributed to SEO, not just ranking positions
Require a 90-day roadmap before work begins, with specific deliverables per month
Ask how they'll explain results if rankings improve but traffic doesn't; this happens, and how they handle it tells you a lot
How do I compare two SEO companies in California that look equally qualified on paper?
Give both the same brief with your site, goals, and competitive landscape, and compare what they diagnose, not just what they propose.
The best SEO company in California will identify specific issues with your current setup before telling you what they'd do. One that jumps straight to a service package without asking questions hasn't looked at your site yet.
Then ask each one: What would you prioritize in the first 90 days, and why? The answer reveals whether they're thinking about your situation or reciting their default process.
The California SEO agency that gives a more specific, more honest answer about what's realistic, even if it's less exciting, is usually the safer hire.
Should I hire a local California SEO specialist, or does location not matter?
For most SEO work, location doesn't affect quality because strategy, content, and technical optimization can all be executed remotely. But there are two cases where hiring a local agency adds real value:
Local SEO: If your business serves customers in specific California cities or regions, an agency that understands local search behavior, California-specific directories, and regional competitors will outperform a generalist.
Regulated industries: In healthcare, legal, finance, and similar niches, the California compliance context shapes what can and cannot be published.
Outside these two scenarios, prioritize process and track record over zip code.
What's the difference between an SEO consultant and an SEO agency in California?
An SEO consultant is typically one person; strategic, often experienced, and better suited to audits, advisory work, or guiding an in-house team. An agency brings together a team of strategists, content writers, technical SEOs, and link builders who work in parallel. The tradeoff is that consultants offer more direct access and flexibility; agencies offer more execution capacity.
Choose a consultant if you have internal resources to execute and need expertise to direct them. Choose an SEO firm in California if you need the full scope of work handled end-to-end. Budget is usually the deciding factor; consultants typically cost less per month, but agencies move faster on high-volume work.
How do I know if an SEO company in California understands my industry?
Ask them to walk you through how they'd approach keyword research for your category, not in general, but for your specific audience and buying journey.
A search engine optimization company in California with genuine industry experience will immediately talk about search intent, content types, and competitive dynamics specific to your space. One without it will describe a process that could apply to any client.
Also, ask whether they've worked with a direct competitor. Some buyers see this as a conflict; others see it as proof of category expertise. Either way, the answer and how transparently they give it tells you something useful about how they operate.
