Madison Shaheen Senior Manager of Communications and Marketing at Western Reserve Land Conservancy

Web Development Review from Madison Shaheen
I worked with Forefront to redesign my nonprofits website and had an amazing experience. They were professional, creative, easy to work with.. I could go on and on. Our website looks amazing and is exactly what we were hoping for. I worked closely with Nick during the process and could not speak more highly of him.Since our redesign project completed, we now use Forefront for our website maintenance and that has also been just a flawless experience. Anytime I run into a problem Phill helps me in a timely manner and is so helpful.Can't recommend Forefront enough!

trine bretteville Director at RoomSketcher
5.0★
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.

We hired Axamo to help redesign our website a few months back. We were super happy with the work and the final product they delivered. We love our new website! The Axamo team are always there whenever an issue arose or we wanted to make any changes and the quick communication was exactly why I'd recommend them to anyone. 5/5 from us. Thanks
Becky Stewart Scientific Copywriter at CSols Inc.
4.7★
Web Design Review from Becky Stewart
Our industry is very niche and there were some hiccups in the beginning as the content team learned the terminology and the level of detail expected from a recognized leader in the field. The asynchronous nature of working with a global team was a good learning experience for our marketing team (all on the U.S. east coast). There were hiccups on our side too, adjusting to Webflow after working with WordPress for many years. However, the new site is head and shoulders above anything our competitors have and will certainly catch eyeballs. The Axamo developers went out of their way to accommodate our internal site structure. Most of the visuals have been custom designed to fit our audiences. The team has been very responsive in helping us learn Webflow to be able to maintain the site on our own. The new site will be able to accommodate new services and as much content as we can produce.
Megan Cavanaugh Pettyjohn Marketing Director at CSols Inc.
4.7★
Web Design Review from Megan Cavanaugh Pettyjohn
Axamo helped us create a website that stands out in our industry. CSols is a B2B professional services company in a niche and complex industry. Axamo's writer did a great job developing content that was SEO optimized, competitive, and professional. The Axamo website designers and developers were extremely nice to work with and very talented. We provided guidance on images and pushed the creativity envelope, and they delivered an excellent product in the end. Room for improvement: a) better project management with communication, organization, and a more detailed process to follow. More of my time was given as PM than expected. There are limitations due to Webflow's capabilities, but the Axamo team worked hard to overcome any obstacles they faced while delivering the website we wanted. Overall, they were dedicated to producing a product that we loved and worked tirelessly to achieve it. I look forward to our continued relationship as we grow the website.

Digital Marketing Review from John Tyo
First, let me again extend my thanks for all that you, Stewart, Lonnie and everybody at Healthcare Success has done for us here at Syracuse Prosthetic Center. I have been meaning to write for some time, but – it’s been quite busy. Once the marketing plan was implemented, we saw a 35% increase in sales and the first part of this year show the same % of increase over last year. Far more important, however, was our 500% increase in referral sources. And a quick look at our patient population shows a 75% increase in patient population in one year! Working with you was the single best decision of my career. You are quite simply the best I have ever worked with at what you do. No frills. No gimmicks. And you go far beyond just increasing sales. You have a solid understanding of what it takes to run a healthy medical business and what needs should be addressed first, second and third. Thank you!

The Healthcare Success team was extremely knowledgeable in their areas of expertise and comprehensiveness of their review.

I highly recommend the Healthcare Success team to any organization seeking ways to improve their patient volume and financial growth opportunities.

I never leave reviews, but once in a while the work quality is so good I make exceptions.This is one of those times. Noah provided very advanced SEO work for one of my largest clients, fron scratch, finding and fixing SEO technical issues and conversion optimization issues that made a major difference for my client in both organic traffic and conversions.Traffic from search increased more than expected. Conversions to sales increased by about 20% plus an increase in AOV. Combining both an increase in traffic and an increase in conversions and an increase in AOV is nothing short of a home run.I will be channeling more of my clients' SEO and CRO to Epidemic for sure. Great people to work with, awesome results. And I teach digital marketing professionally.Marty MarionCEOMaster Positioning, LLC

Our company faced multiple website issues after an unsuccessful experience with a previous vendor. So we were in need of reliable and proficient developers who could identify the problem and fully fix it. I have to say, we faced quite a challenge while choosing a new partner but only until we met the RiseServ team. During an initial phase of our collaboration they proved to us the transparency of services they provide and that all of our wishes were taken into consideration.RiseServ approached our project in a highly responsible manner. They thoroughly tested all tasks before deployment and administered the clients server. There were no bugs after the deployment, and that is what we wanted to achieve.

Content Marketing Review from Mckenzie Ycmat
I've worked with Siege since 2016, and there's a reason I've brought them with me to nearly every company I've joined since. I've partnered with a lot of agencies over the years, but Siege consistently stands out because they don't just execute SEO tactics, they become an extension of your team. They take the time to understand your business, collaborate across marketing, and build content strategies that actually drive measurable results. One of the things I appreciate most is how proactive they are. They bring ideas to the table, back recommendations with data, and genuinely care about long-term growth rather than chasing quick wins. The impact they've had on my career has been significant. At multiple companies, their work has helped us grow organic traffic, strengthen our content strategy, and prove the value of marketing initiatives. They're one of the few partners I've trusted enough to advocate for repeatedly, including making sure I could continue working with them after changing jobs. The fact that I've spent nearly a decade recommending Siege internally says everything. They're one of those rare agencies that consistently exceed expectations, and I'd recommend them without hesitation to any marketing team looking for a true strategic partner.

We have been working with Brandon of Brandlift Digital Marketing for the past year and a half to optimize the Google Pay per Click Ads for our cosmetic surgery practice and medspa.I have worked with several other companies in the past for the same purpose. What I really like about Brandon is that he is constantly looking to improve and optimize our ads and make changes to our homepage to better the outcome. Even at times where I felt I was OK with the results we were getting, Brandon was not and was constantly digging deep into the data to figure out ways where he could get us more clicks and conversions.In a world where many people do the bare minimum to get by, I truly appreciate Brandon's persistence and him going above and beyond to improve our digital ads.

Saucy Konfections's Review Sourced from Google
If you are looking to use this company, you may want to take a second to read over this review before you do so. This is one of the worst companies that i have worked with. In the beginning, it will seem great. They will tell all the things that you want to hear and you will sign a contract with them but BEWARE! Although you will sign a contract with them, they will not fulfill their end of their contract and at the end of the project, they will try to milk you for more money.Also, although the site is based in America, they hire people from China etc.. to do their work so although you will be shelling out American dollars, you are actually paying for someone in their house in India or China to do his/her job. All, in all, i was completely unsatisfied with the site that they did for me. Please feel free to reach out to me so i can tell you details and to show you receipts. I will even show you the contract! and how much money i paid for a project that really should have been half less than what i paid.I had to find others to clean up the mess this company made and the people that looked at my site said it was one of the worst that they have ever encountered!!!!Ps: I gave this company a “1” for effort…

I do not have enough good things to say about Dave! He is so kind and compassionate, and genuinely wants to help and watch you succeed with your business. He’s sharp, and does beautiful work. Great energy that always fires me up! Two big thumbs way up!!
Heidi Uzelac Review from Google

Heidi Uzelac's Review Sourced from Google
I can't say enough great things about working with Dave. He helped me get my website up and running in no time, and what really impressed me was his ability to take my brand guide—just a simple PDF—and literally bring my vision to life. The attention to detail and care he put into every aspect of the site blew me away.One of the best things about working with Dave is having him on retainer. His skill level is incredible, and the value he provides is unmatched. I had a crazy request for a 24-hour turnaround on a sales page, and not only did he deliver, but he also did multiple revisions, getting it just right. Thanks to his fast work, I was able to make sales right away, directly impacting my business in a positive way.In the past, I’ve spent thousands on websites that ended up stagnant, but with Dave, it’s an ongoing, collaborative process. He’s always improving my site, making updates, and focusing on SEO so my business can keep growing. It’s clear he genuinely cares about his clients’ success, and I still can’t believe I was lucky enough to find him.If you’re considering working with him, don’t hesitate—Dave is the real deal, and you won’t regret it! Best investment you will make in your biz- hands down.

Jen Dreher's Review Sourced from Google
Where do I begin? I cannot say enough great things about Dave and his company. I chose Dave as my web developer when I first started my business. I have a luxury medical spa and I am VERY picky about my look and branding that I want to portray. Dave NAILED it on every level and together we were able to create my dream website. He gave me some options to go through and listed to every one of my thoughts and edits. Most recently there was an issue that needed to get resolved and he stopped everything else and gave my site the full attention that it needed and everything was perfect again in no time. I am so thankful I found Dave!

Ashkan Namini's Review Sourced from Google
Great experience and highly recommend. The website that they made for me (a dentist) is extremely chic and I've gotten a lot of compliments on it from friends, family, and patients. I didn't have to tell them anything about the design, they nailed it from the start, which shows they have experience and a keen eye for website esthetics. They were easy to work with too. So any time I wanted to change any pictures or formatting, they had no problem doing it and they did it very quickly. It's clear they have a lot of experience designing websites for the healthcare field. Highly recommend Rizer!

I was referred to Rizer by a trusted neighbor. We had been with another SEO company for many years, believing they had our best interests at heart. However, they kept increasing their fees even as our leads and rankings steadily declined.In just two months of working with Barahm and the team at Rizer, we've already noticed a significant increase in traffic and quality leads for our business. They thoroughly cleaned up and optimized our website and are always available to answer any questions we have.If you're looking for a company that genuinely cares about its clients, I highly recommend Rizer!

I'm very glad I decided to work with Rizer Technology. Their team is extremely knowledgeable and professional. Very fast, efficient and easy to work with. They made a great website and logo for me that I'm in love with. They over deliver and they do it fast at a very competitive price. Can't wait to start my marketing campaign with them soon.

Kathy Tan's Review Sourced from Google
From the two interactions I’ve had with Daniel, I would recommend him to other business owners overall.He is very knowledgeable, helpful, practical, and asks the right questions to help you think through your challenges. He was one of the top speakers who provided the most value in his presentation at my recent accelerator program aimed at supporting Asian Pacific Islander American business owners nationally through entrepreneurship (ACE Next Gen). He was also more than willing to meet with me 1:1 as a follow-up and share his candid advice based on lessons from his business journey during startup mode.His Edna360 7-Step Growth System is a holistic process that allowed me to evaluate and make a long-term plan on how to grow our marketing efforts as a 2.5 year old small leadership coaching business seeking to grow and scale. Content creation on socials, nurturing leads, and his 3-step hiring process were the biggest takeaways I’m bringing with me. Thank you so much for your help, Daniel!

Thomas Whalen Review from Google

Thomas Whalen's Review Sourced from Google
I had high hopes for Savy Marketing Agency, but unfortunately, our experience was deeply disappointing. From the outset, it was clear their team was completely out of sync internally. This disorganization severely impacted their ability to effectively handle what should have been a straightforward project—a basic website refresh.The process was riddled with constant delays, lack of communication, and repeated missteps. To make matters worse, it felt like they were continually upselling us on unnecessary additions to increase the scope of work. When we vetted these suggestions against other providers, not only were they deemed unnecessary, but some of them could have actively harmed our existing SEO.Their lack of attention to detail led to basic, avoidable mistakes, and their pricing was far from competitive. As a local business, we wanted to support a nearby agency, but the service we received was nowhere near worth the premium price tag.Overall, this was a frustrating and costly experience that we would not recommend to anyone looking for a reliable marketing partner.In summary out a lot of money and opportunity cost given nothing was accomplished

Mike Montana Review from Google

Mike Montana's Review Sourced from Google
I want to share a cautionary experience with this compnay, run by Jack Stone. He charged us in USD and claimed to operate from the United States. However, I later discovered that TopBros has no employees or operations in the U.S. — all the work is outsourced to developers in India, which was never disclosed upfront.Throughout the project, I observed suspicious access to our website from Indian IP addresses. When I raised the issue, Jack gave vague and unconvincing responses, raising further concerns about transparency and data security.If you value supporting American businesses and stand by our nation, I strongly advise caution before working with this company. What appeared to be a U.S.-based service turned out to be a front for outsourced operations, which felt misleading and unprofessional.Please do your research before hiring. Make sure the people you're trusting with your business are honest about who they are and where they operate from.

We've been working with TopBros for at least 5 years. They've built multiple pieces of custom software for us and done a great job each time. They've never told me an idea I had couldn't be built. They have great customer service and I can't recommend them enough.

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.
