I joined in on the Marketing training with Paul. He articulates very well that I am able to understand the marketing just a little more. Paul has an energy that is calm, and willing to help others understand the marketing world. He is thorough with his explanations. I can’t wait to join in on the next one.
Hector Barragan's Review Sourced from Google
I recently met with Paul from Paul B Design to review two of my websites and discuss digital marketing strategy. He provided a thorough website audit and offered a clear overview of how improved web design and SEO could support my business goals. Paul’s insights were thoughtful and actionable, and he made it easy to understand what’s working and what needs attention. I’m looking forward to seeing the proposal he’s putting together with next steps. Highly recommend Paul B Design to anyone serious about leveling up their online presence.Hector B.Orange County Ca.

David Bradshaw's Review Sourced from Google
As a client of Marketri, we at Northstar PMO continue to be thoroughly impressed with their strategic marketing services.From the outset, we valued their structured and methodical approach to truly understanding the nuances of our business. This deep dive allowed us to formulate a comprehensive and tailored marketing plan that perfectly aligned with our goals.The quality of the materials and content our Marketri team produced for us has been exceptional. Thanks to their expertise, we now have a significantly more polished and professional online presence. We are seeing real, tangible results from these efforts.We also want to acknowledge the people behind the success. A special thank you to the Founder, Debra Andrews, for her consistent support and strategic oversight. Furthermore, the collaboration with our delivery team, Katie and Brita, is outstanding. They are consistently responsive, insightful, and truly felt like an extension of our own team.Northstar PMO highly recommends Marketri to any organization seeking a knowledgeable, collaborative, and results-oriented marketing partner.
Steven Collins's Review Sourced from Google
As an earlier stage company, we were in need of expertise in building our marketing strategy, presence and brand, but did not have the ability to invest in building out a full marketing function. The Marketri Fractional CMO offering has been perfect for us as we have been able to leverage best in class expertise at a fraction of the cost of a full internal marketing function.During our engagement with Marketri, they helped us develop a full strategy to build out our brand consistent with our deep-seated mission, vision and values. Among many other things, Marketri helped us build out a fully functional website and web presence. Their social media experts got us firmly established as a social media powerhouse in our space, creating valuable exposure for the company. Their digital expertise and adoption of technology is superb. They also have provided us the tools needed to grow and expand our business in a strategic manner, and the ability to measure results.The entire team is super impressive, providing valuable advice and expertise, while also extremely pleasant to work with. They listen, collaborate, advise and implement with exceptional skill. They have my highest recommendation!
Lanie Raphael's Review Sourced from Google
We have partnered with Deb Andrews and her team for the last few years. They did an amazing job helping us navigate the process of rebranding and identifying our 'voice' for our marketing style. Each year, we work together to layout a roadmap for our content strategy and they keep us on track during our regularly scheduled meetings. The Marketri team is very collaborative and truly an extension of our team.

Web Design Review from Nick Scarpino
Americaneagle.com has a seamless process from project ideation through completion. I found a lot of value in the system they have for mocking up the site during the design phase. Seeing the site on a mobile device and a desktop computer at that stage in the process was critical.

Sasha B's Review Sourced from Google
I partnered with FPS on website design and SEO for my new business a number of years back. Their approach to thought leadership caused our site to rank on the first page for nearly all of our keywords, and the first result on Google for several of our core keywords. The resulting traffic generated dozens of valuable leads, kickstarting our success in a way that wouldn't have been possible without FPS.More recently, I needed a new website for a passion project of mine and turned to FPS once again. While SEO practices continue to evolve, FPS's thoughtful approach to website design and search engine optimization has remained consistent.FPS has proven to be an invaluable marketing partner, and I will continue to choose them for web design and thought leadership content creation. I wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone seeking an edge in the digital landscape.

Our D2C small business has used Vital to manage our digital marketing since 2020, and we've stayed with them because they continue to be able to test, iterate, build, and improve upon our account.

They also optimized the site for mobile users, which has greatly improved. The team kept me informed at every stage and ensured the site was on schedule. Since the site went live, we’ve seen a noticeable increase in client inquiries.
Juliet Kensington's Review Sourced from Google
Small Biz Web Design Studio stepped in, did a good website for our law firm, and handled the whole process smoothly. The layout is easy to follow, and the calls-to-action guides people where to go. We also saw a ranking boost within the first month thanks to their on-page SEO setup. This is a good team to work with.

Redefine Marketing Group Reviews & Testimonials
Rachel Pagliarini's Review Sourced from Google
Redefine Marketing Group (RMG) has quickly become a key partner to me as a corporate website manager to ensure maximum performance, health, and optimization of our site. I can always count on their expertise to identify and manage core site issues as well as to solve (and clearly explain) complex problems. During a recent website relaunch as the result of a merger, RMG was our right hand to ensure our launch was a success in terms of maintaining and improving site and SEO health while also helping us organize and execute a large content migration. A special shout out to Victor and Stephanie for their expertise and continued support - it's a pleasure working with you guys!
Lisa Cardinal's Review Sourced from Google
I've worked with RMG team for a little over a year and they are fantastic! They are always eager to jump in when we have new projects and provide valuable knowledge to help boost our goals. The team is always quick to respond to any question we may have and takes the time to make sure we/I fully understand. Redefine truly feels like an extension of our marketing team!
Ben Torrie's Review Sourced from Google
The team at RMG has been fantastic to work with over the last year. Their commitment to partnership, transparency and frequent touch points is exactly what I was looking for in a SEO management firm. When a problem arises with my website, click through rate or search terms, they come with a solution to the problem and clear steps to rectify the issue...Now, one year later, RMG currently manages my pay-per-click, SEO and social media and they've been doing an excellent job.

Nazim Eryilmaz's Review Sourced from Google
I worked with Nova Era on a UI/UX redesign for my startup and they were great to work with. If you’re local to the San Francisco area, Nova Era is an excellent choice and even if you’re not, it’s still seamless. I’m based in NYC and had zero issues with time differences or communication. Highly recommend the team.
Anıl Ergez's Review Sourced from Google
I worked with Nova Era Agency, a San Francisco-based web design agency, for a full website redesign and couldn’t be happier with the results. From the beginning, their team was professional, responsive, and clearly experienced in building modern, high-performing websites. They took the time to understand my business goals and delivered a clean, visually polished site that’s fast, user-friendly, and optimized for conversions.What really stood out was their attention to detail and clear communication throughout the entire process from strategy and UX to design and launch. It felt great working with a local SF web design team that truly understands both branding and performance. If you’re looking for a reliable web design agency in San Francisco, I highly recommend Nova Era Agency.
Cevher Ersoy's Review Sourced from Google
i worked with Nova Era Agency, a San Francisco web design and SEO agency, to build a website for my online book business, and the experience has been outstanding. The site they designed looks great, is easy to use, and actually helps convert visitors into customers instead of just sitting there looking nice.I’m also using their ongoing SEO services, and the impact on my business has honestly been amazing. Over time, I’ve seen more organic traffic, better visibility on Google, and a noticeable increase in sales. It’s clear they understand SEO for online businesses, not just basic optimization.What I appreciate most is that they’re consistent and proactive. They don’t disappear after launch they keep improving the site and SEO month after month. If you’re looking for a reliable web design and SEO agency in San Francisco, especially for an e-commerce or online business, I highly recommend Nova Era Agency.

Extremely satisfied with Storm Brain's services, particularly how they realized our vision on our website. The team dedicated many hours daily to edits, making us feel un-rushed. The outcome is a phenomenal website, and the post-launch SEO efforts have been thoroughly successful.
Nonprofit Review from Jhumpa Bhattacharya
As a nonprofit, we've worked with Storm Brain for just over a year. The unique demands of nonprofits can be challenging, yet this company has shown great patience, adaptability, and cooperation. While no company is flawless, clear communication with them leads to excellent results. Thanks, Storm Brain, for your dedication!
Digital Marketing Review from Jake Brennan
Storm Brain provided our e-commerce business significant results. We were really flattening out when it came to engagement and finding them was a serious game changer. They enhanced our SEO, helped us re-brand our product, drove sales through digital marketing campaigns and provided quality design for our site. If you're looking for a company that is easy to work with and incredibly professional / knowledgeable, look no further. We recommend them to the fullest, especially after being let down by so many other establishments. Storm Brain for the win!

I highly recommend this company. I contacted them with multiple questions, and instead of trying to sell me their services, they took the time to provide free information and helpful recommendations. They even suggested alternative solutions that might benefit me more than what they could offer. Their honesty, professionalism, and willingness to help were truly appreciated. It’s refreshing to work with a company that puts the customer’s best interests first.

I had a great experience with Cosmoforge. They gave me clear and practical recommendations for my Google Ads campaign and helped me understand what direction to take.If you need help with your digital campaigns for your business and want honest and knowledgeable advice, I’d highly recommend contacting them. Their experience really shows.
Sarah Ocampo's Review Sourced from Google
I highly recommend this company. They recently completed an SEO and Google Ads audit for my law firm and I was extremely impressed with how thorough, informative, and transparent they were throughout the process.What stood out most to me was their ability to explain Google Ads and SEO in plain language that actually made sense. I have been in business for eleven years and have worked with multiple marketing companies over that time, yet this was the first time I truly felt like I understood how these systems work and what was actually happening behind the scenes.They took the time to educate rather than just sell, which I really appreciated. None of my prior or current marketing companies have explained things nearly as clearly or effectively.I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for honest, knowledgeable, and professional marketing guidance, and I will very likely be switching to them in the near future.

Web Design Review from Alyssa Brenke
Specifically, working with Ben was amazing! He was incredibly responsive and answered all my questions throughout the process of updating our website. Our original site was built roughly a decade ago (or longer) so we were in need of some streamlining and modernization. The team did just that and quickly! The first iteration was spot on for what we were looking for. Not to mention, they were able to launch quickly and without any interruption to our daily operations. Would 100% recommend [it]!

Online Reputation Management Review from Undisclosed
We hired WebiMax to assist with our reputation management online. We had specific goals of shifting positive content that was relevant to our business to the first page of a search. WebiMax has a clear and concise complexion report that they provided every month with a Project Management summary that was easy to understand. There was always a key point person to walk you through any nuances and pivot if the need arose. There really weren't in downsides to using WebiMax since their contract was also really flexible and it allowed us to use their services based on our timeline. Our experience with WebiMax has been very genuine. They set out to achieve our goals and understood what we wanted to achieve. They hold themselves to a high standard which is appreciated. Our points of contact were always professional and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend them. We have managed to achieve our goals with our reputation online. What once used to appear on page one of a google search has been shifted to page 4/5. More relevant content is now served up which has assisted with our brand image.

To travel Pacific Highway 101 has been on my bucket list for many years. I finally got to drive on the iconic highway finally! It was an AWESOME drive with beautiful ocean front scenery, small quaint towns with really cool and interesting shops and eateries! I wish I could have done this 20 years ago when there were not as much people and traffic. There was a lot of people and traffic in every little town that we passed. Overall beautiful beautiful experience.
david lamberti's Review Sourced from Google
This was a bucket list ride for me and I took it all the way into Oregon by way of San Diego. It's a great ride with a lot of stop and go traffic in the beginning. As I continued up the coast and away from LA I stopped at several beach fronts and saw so many things than ever before.

Working with KeenView has been a very smooth and productive. Keenview has met or exceeded our goals. Truly a trustworthy company.
John Baxter's Review Sourced from Google
Every interaction we have had with KeenView has helped us grow online. They have brought a lot of clarity to how we should approach AI search and online growth. Their team stays involved, moves fast, and focuses on practical strategies that actually impact the business.
Jeff B's Review Sourced from Google
KeenView isn’t just another marketing firm—they operate with a level of clarity and discipline that’s hard to find. What’s impressed me most over time is their ability to turn strategy into real business outcomes. They don’t deal in vague ideas; everything ties back to measurable growth.They’re especially forward-thinking when it comes to AI-driven discovery. While most companies are still trying to figure it out, KeenView already understands how platforms like ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Grok influence buying decisions—and how to position a brand to consistently show up in those environments. What makes them even more effective is that they don’t treat this in isolation; they integrate it seamlessly with paid search and digital channels like Google, Meta, and Microsoft.Another thing that sets them apart is their honesty. They’ll push back when needed and aren’t afraid to challenge assumptions if it leads to a better outcome. That kind of directness builds trust, and it’s a big reason we value the relationship.If you’re serious about understanding where marketing is going—and how to translate that into revenue—KeenView is a partner worth having.

Andrew Borders's Review Sourced from Google
Robert of NADmedia designed and maintains my business website. I tried creating one years ago and had given up on it. Robert was able to get it re-designed and published. I’ve received several calls from local customers via the website - so it is working! Robert always gets back to me quickly and is able to take care of any issues that show up quickly and easily.

From the very beginning, their team demonstrated exceptional professionalism and expertise. They took the time to understand my needs and tailored their services accordingly, which made a significant difference in the outcome of our project and had a fast outcome.Their creativity and attention to detail truly set them apart, and I was impressed by their ability to deliver results that exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend NAD Media to anyone looking for a reliable and innovative media partner. Their commitment to client satisfaction is evident, and I look forward to working with them again in the future!

Email Marketing Review from Rida Khan
This is the second company I've worked with Grazitti at and both experiences have been positive. Their team is able to turn around our requests very quickly and has provided good best practices from their work with other clients. I'd recommend them for the Marketing services.
Web Design Review from Patricia Lughezzani
Grazitti and Marketo Support have successfully partnered to roll out rich functionality and support Portal. Beyond core development skills to implement business functionally in SFDC Service Cloud and Customer Community, the Grazitti team has been a valued contributor to recommend technology such as Solr text search, workflow optimizations, and web creative design.
Digital Marketing Review from David Skyberg
Right from start the Grazitti team gave us the confidence that we do not need to have a plan B. Once things started rolling – they were able to accommodate a number of requirements that were made by the operating teams within the timeframe.

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.
