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.

Web Design Review from Ashley Pola
Single Origin handled the rebrand and website redesign for CalmWave, our healthcare AI platform, and did it with a level of strategic rigor most agencies don't bring to a regulated, technical product. The site now builds trust with clinicians and enterprise buyers instead of just looking polished. They were incredible to work with and delivered real results in our budget and timeline. I would recommend without hesitation.

Website Redesign Review from Kirsten Carlson
Really good people - they came highly recommended and lived up to the hype with an on time and under budget project. Their knowledge, communication and professionalism are all very impressive! They also went above and beyond, even guiding us (politely) away from wish list ideas that wouldn’t fit with the functionality we wanted.

In a matter of 45 min. Bernard and his team were able to help me through my biggest challenge in my clothing business. The simple strategies they tought were what i like to call common sence... thats not so common. A very eye opening event. Im willing to drive from san diego to orange county just to attend the next event. If your on the fence on attending... just go! You will not regret it. Plus it never hurts your business to get around positive people and learn new business strategies.

Event Marketing Review from Jonathan Kelly
When we initially engaged with Elevate My Brand, we had 30 years of expertise and success on the wholesale plush side, but it was time for us to launch our first consumer-facing brand. EMB has navigated the tricky digital waters with their comprehensive marketing approach and made it an engaging, creative process. We saw exponential visibility and sales growth in just a few months. We couldn't have done it without EMB.

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.

We had an awesome experience working with California SEO Professionals—hands down the best SEO firm in San Francisco afetr working with a few others. They really know their stuff when it comes to content strategy and SEO, and thanks to their expertise, our online presence grew well. Their team is top-notch, delivering real results that have driven more traffic to our site and boosted our visibility.
A huge thanks to Sanjit, who has been our go-to expert marketer throughout the process. He’s super responsive, knows the industry inside and out, learns your business and competitors, and always comes through with great insights. Plus, he’s great at keeping communication clear and making sure everything runs smoothly. Highly recommend these guys if you're looking for serious SEO results in the SF Bay Area!

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.

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.

I can't say enough wonderful things about them and their team. If you want to grow your business, call them!

Digital Marketing Review from Damian Ross
Fidelitas Marketing Review: A Costly Lesson in Hype Over Substance
If lighting money on fire while watching your business stall sounds fun, Fidelitas Marketing might be your dream agency. Led by CEO Tyler Sickmeyerwhose confidence far outweighs his resultswe expected expertise and innovation. Instead, we got recycled campaigns, panic, and zero ROI.
We came to Fidelitas with nearly two decades of digital marketing experience, hoping for fresh insights on paid social. What we got: a rehash of our old campaignsjust less effective. Their Meta expert had no answers and suggested we simply try the same thing again, but harder. Predictably, that failed.
On Google Ads, things somehow got worse. When the campaigns tanked, the team went into meltdown modeno pivot, no ideas, just chaos. By the time we were supposed to scale (per Tyler at SHOT Show), we were busy trying to revive dead campaigns. It felt like watching a squirrel do your taxes: frantic, clueless, and painful.
When we pulled the plug to stop the bleeding, Tyler responded with legal threats and demanded full payment for services not rendereddespite us being within cancellation terms. Worse, he contacted one of our long-term vendors to trash-talk us, warning them to get paid upfront. Professionalism? Not even close.
And good luck disputing chargesthey only accept wire transfers, conveniently making chargebacks nearly impossible.
In summary, heres what we got from Fidelitas:
No new ideas or strategic direction
Negative ROI
Unethical billing
Legal threats
Reputation damage via unprofessional outreach
If you're searching for honest reviews on Fidelitas or Tyler Sickmeyer, take this as your warning. We paid for expertise and got excuses. There are no guarantees in marketingbut accountability and professionalism should be the minimum. Fidelitas failed on both.

Colibri Digital Marketing is a wonderful company to work with. Their detailed and professional approach helped us build a website and brand that we are proud of. They are diligent with their research and helped us develop our brand to be more effective than we could have made it on our own.

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!

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'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.

Branding Review from Victoria Wicus MOT, OTR/L, BCP
We had the pleasure of working with Pill Creative Studio for our company branding, logo design, and website development, and we couldn't be more thrilled with the results! From start to finish, the team was incredibly easy to work with, always bringing a positive, collaborative energy to every meeting.
The logo options presented to us were creative, fresh, and aligned perfectly with our vision. We really loved the color schemes that were suggested as well. Veronika and Matthew took the time to understand our brand's values and goals, making the entire process feel seamless and tailored to our needs. We have gotten several compliments from our employees and clients since we launched our new brand!
Their passion for what they do is evident in the quality of their work and their commitment to delivering exactly what we were looking for. We're extremely satisfied with the final branding and look forward to continuing our work with them on future projects.
We highly recommend Pill Creative Studio for anyone looking for a talented, dedicated, and passionate team to bring their brand to life!

Bananas Marketing has been nothing short of amazing. They have gone above and beyond and have have fulfilled every expectation that they have set. Their communication is on point and it has been positive experience after positive experience working with them over the years. Andrew actually built our first ever website, when we first started our non profit Campaign One At A Time, which led us to helping hundreds of families. Bananas Marketing also donates a percentage of their business monthly to support families battling cancer and other life threatening illnesses so it's a win win working them. You get quality work, while knowing that Bananas gives back to the community.

Andrew and his team have been taking care of me for over two years. The right questions at the right time have unfailingly brought not only me, but all of my clients to the right strategy and results that have exceeded our expectations. One of the things we appreciate most is that Andrew is the first person to say, "No, you do not need to spend budget dollars on that - it will not get you a return on the investment." Skill, honestly and a commitment to me and my business goals are what guide him. The video on my site alone, has won me business without having to bid.

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.

I have been working with the State Creative team for over eight years and they have consistently been an awesome partner on all fronts. The initial design and development of our website was easy and painless – clear communication, great designs, and always on time. Since the launch of our site, we have worked with State Creative on updates and additional functionality. It is such a joy to work with a team that is consistent in their approach and work even after all these years. I feel like we have a partner in State Creative. As someone who is managing more than just our company’s website it has been great to have State Creative oversee the maintenance of our WordPress site. As a result, our website remains up to date and secure – we have stayed free of hacks and the site consistently performs well. As a client, I can access regular updates and information on the maintenance. State Creative is at the top of my list when someone needs a recommendation for website design, development, or maintenance. I can’t say enough what a great partner they have been over the years.

We couldn’t have asked for a better experience for our website redesign than what we got with State Creative. Based on our first interaction, Garrett and his team presented a clear, concise, well-thought-out proposal using technology that showed they were a leader in their industry. From there they made the intake process easy and really took the time to learn about our company and what our vision was. Garrett listened to our ideas, provided constructive feedback, and always followed up on outstanding questions. The build itself was a very collaborative process in which Garrett laid out step-by-step what was going to happen and when. Open communication is so important and Garrett really came through on all levels; I truly felt like I was a partner in the project and not just another client. From start to finish, State Creative exceeded my expectations and truly made this a great experience…and our new website looks amazing!

Working with Everzocial was such a great experience! They really took the time to understand Andreessen Horowitz, what we're about and where we're headed before diving into the website design.

Web Design Review from Brian Yokely
It isn't often that you find a partner like Big Drop and I cannot recommend their fantastic team highly enough. Projects like ours are no small feats and their dedication to producing a successful outcome for us is unparalleled by other agencies. In addition to superior project management, their creative and strategic teams leveraged our brand to develop an aesthetic that is absolutely first-in-class, with functionality to match, and we couldn't have done it without them. I look forward to expanding our collaboration in the future. We needed a website refresh, and Big Drop helped us produce the best possible product. The team's professionalism and expertise were evident throughout the project, resulting in a website that exceeded our expectations. Working with Big Drop was a smooth and productive experience, and we were thrilled with the outcome of our collaboration.

Branding Review from Michele Zappula
Big Drop 100% gets who we are and what we need and we trust them completely. Their creative process is iterative and comprehensive, and have become a true extension of our team who has been fortunate to work with their top talent. We are consistently impressed by how well Big Drop brings forward concepts and ideas that have evolved our products and brand, and together, we have delivered some truly amazing items. I have been waiting to work with them, and it has easily been worth the wait. Working with Big Drop was instrumental in refining our brand identity and creating new digital properties. The agency polished our main brand and refreshed two sub-brands. It also developed four new digital assets. The team's creative vision and ability to interpret our goals were pivotal in achieving our desired outcomes. Big Drop's flexibility, knowledge, and commitment ensured it made adjustments to suit our specific needs.

Fantastic experience working with Cybertegic. We worked with them on our website makeover project and they delivered promptly and patiently with great results. Johnny and Joy were pleasant to collaborated with; Joy was exceptionally perceptive with all our requests and suggestions to improve our website's function and look. We always appreciate her supportive feedback in case something didn't quite work out and was quick to resolve issues with our search console links. Our website after the makeover garnered higher customer traction and more conversion, which is a great plus. Highly recommend Cybertegic for their excellent service!

Mark Schow's Review Sourced from Google
My experience working with David developing our new site was an absolute pleasure. David was super easy to work with and brought a wealth of site development knowledge to our project.
I had worked with three other digital agencies attempting to develop the website I envisioned before finding David. David quickly demonstrated a passion for our project and put in the extra work needed to develop our site exactly to our specifications. He combined a creative eye, with technical knowledge and a 'can do' spirit to make sure our site launched on time as specified.
I would highly recommend David and Metaglyphics if you're looking for a reliable solution to develop your business site.

Metaglyphics was responsible for a complete redesign of the IdeaWorksCompany.com website. This is the best vendor experience I've ever had. David is a complete professional who cares about the outcome of a project and the needs of the client. He effectively uses client-friendly technology to review site design with you and to provide video tips on maintaining it. I can't imagine one could ever be disappointed by the support and dedication this guy gives to his work. Kudos David on a job well done.

Metaglyphics has been a God-send! I worked with David, and he was so patient and informative. I'm super tech-impaired, and he really took the time to educate me, and make sure that I had the tools and knowledge I would need to maintain my site. It came out beautifully, and for everything that he offered, I thought the price was really reasonable too. I have no complaints. I would totally recommend Metaglyphics to anyone wanting to create a professional-looking, user-friendly website.

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.
