      Our company had a fantastic experience working with this digital marketing agency! Their team set up and ran ads for our business, and the results were outstanding. From the moment we started, they demonstrated professionalism and a deep understanding of the digital landscape. The ads they created were not only visually appealing but also highly effective in driving traffic to our website. We saw a significant increase in leads within and conversions within 2 months, which directly impacted our business's growth. Their communication and reporting were transparent, the team were available 24/7 and they were happy to answer any questions. I highly recommend this company to anyone looking to boost their online presence. Thank you for a job well done! Special thanks to Eli for the transparency and great communication!

      I worked with Skye to redesign my website and I couldn’t have been happier. The entire process took us about 3 weeks and it was a great experience throughout all of it. I wasn’t aware how important proper SEO was when I built my last website on square space but now i’m getting leads without advertising at all. I definitely will not overlook that again

      Software Development Review from Jake Mackay

      For quite a long time we took orders by e-mail or personally from customers. It took a lot of time, as we either made layouts by hand or printed them according to the vague requirements of clients. All these difficulties have pushed us to take a step towards the digital transformation of our business. The team of Five Jars has developed a frontend and backend for our web tool to create print layouts. The team is not afraid to take on difficult tasks!

      Responsive Review from Anthony North

      I was looking for companies that had experience with large educational platforms. There are some really big players in the eLearning market in Five Jars' portfolio, so I trusted their development experience. After all our platform has become more attractive to users. Over the past year, we have noticed a significant increase in daily visits, so much so that we even had to change hosting. Five Jars helped us with that too!

      Small Business Review from Colin Knox

      I'm satisfied with the MVP we've done with the Five Jars team. I am currently looking for an investor for this project. I love working with professionals when I don't have to dive into a whole area that I don't know. Working with the Five Jars was a real partnership where the other side fulfilled their obligations without my constant checks.

He made it a very very easy job and was very quick with the turnaround of work and had the website built within a short period of time and managed to put it live by the end of the week. I honestly cannot recommend him enough for the Quality Of work and the ethos to work that he had

      ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Professional Website Design for Our Home Service Business! We couldn’t be happier with our experience working with Art of Media Design. As a Plumbing & HVAC company, we needed a clean, modern, and high-performing website to showcase our services—and that’s exactly what they delivered. From the start, Anthony and his team were responsive, knowledgeable, and incredibly easy to work with. The site they built not only looks great but is also SEO-optimized, mobile-friendly, and AI-ready, helping us rank better online and convert more leads. Anthony truly understands what small businesses in the home service industry need from a digital presence. If you're looking for a web design agency that knows how to build a site that works hard for your brand, Art of Media Design is the way to go. Highly recommend!

      I recently worked with Art of Media Design on a full website redesign, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. I’ve worked with other designers in the past, but these guys actually get it — not just design, but how to build a site that loads fast, ranks on Google, and looks clean on all devices. I have family on Long Island and visit often, so I wanted to support a team local to that area. They specialize in Long Island web design, but honestly, they’re great no matter where you're located. The communication was smooth, the work was professional, and they delivered exactly what I needed — a website that finally works for my business. If you're serious about getting found online and want a site that actually performs, Art of Media Design is the team to talk to.

6 Frequently Asked Questions About SEO Agencies in New York

What is a realistic budget for SEO services in New York?

A realistic budget for SEO services in New York is about 5%-10% of your marketing budget, or about $7,000-$15,000 per month for small businesses and over $25,000 per month for enterprise-level work.  

According to a study by First Page Sage, SEO companies in NY charge an average of $9,000 per month, one of the highest rates for SEO services in the United States.  

However, a realistic budget should reflect your work scope and depth, including industry competition, current SEO performance, service type, and content velocity.  

For instance, small projects that require local citations and features, light outreach, and 1-2-page updates may expect to pay $3,000-$5,000 for the project.  

However, projects that require monthly outreach campaigns, high-authority links, continuous optimization, and index control, and four content pieces per month may total $25,000 per month. 

How long does it take for a search engine optimization firm in New York to show meaningful results?

According to Google's official statement, it takes at least 4 months to see meaningful results from SEO strategies. 

However, a reputable search engine optimization firm in New York will base its expected outcomes on your current website authority, target niche, industry competitiveness, and aggressiveness of your strategies. It may also shift the timeline due to Google Algorithm updates. 

Typically, you can expect the following quick wins within 4 months: reduced site errors and increased impressions, traffic, and rankings for low-competition keywords. However, these results may fluctuate as Google starts indexing and crawling your pages. 

After 6 months, your results become more stable, and you start recording improved rankings, especially for long-tail keywords and broad keyword groups. You will also notice regular traffic, conversions, and revenue from your SEO strategies

When should you hire a NY SEO agency vs. a digital marketing agency?

Hire a New York SEO agency when organic search is your main growth channel, and a digital marketing agency when you need one partner to coordinate strategy across multiple channels. 

Consider a New York SEO agency if: 

  • Organic search is your main customer acquisition channel or growth challenge. 
  • You need specialized expertise in technical SEO, local SEO, eCommerce SEO, or multilingual SEO. 
  • You want deep search diagnostics, keyword strategy, and a focused SEO roadmap. 

Consider a full-service digital marketing agency if: 

  • You want one agency to manage SEO alongside paid media, social media, content, and email marketing. 
  • You are launching a multi-channel campaign and need broader marketing support. 
  • You need paid search and SEO to work together as part of one integrated strategy. 

What should you look for in the case studies of SEO agencies in New York?

When reviewing case studies from SEO agencies in New York, look for clear methods, realistic timeframes, measurable business impact, and examples that are relevant to your business model and goals. 

Strong SEO case studies should include: 

  • The starting baseline 
  • The business problem 
  • The project duration 
  • The agency's strategy and execution 
  • Measurable results 
  • The broader business impact 

Ideally, the agency should also show case studies involving businesses with a similar sales cycle, geographic focus, website complexity, and level of competition. 

What red flags should you pay attention to?

The biggest red flags when evaluating SEO companies in New York are guaranteed rankings, vague methods, manipulative tactics, weak proof, early grabs for control, and reporting that never connects SEO to business outcomes. 

Watch out for the following: 

  • Ranking guarantees: Google evaluates over 200 ranking factors to determine the ranking of a page, meaning no agency can guarantee rankings. Agencies that promise first-page rankings in 30 days, guaranteed traffic, or priority submission are not making credible SEO commitments. 
  • Vague methods: If an agency cannot clearly explain what it plans to do, why it matters, and what the expected outcome is, it might be using risky tactics that hurt search performance over time. 
  • Weak case studies: Case studies that have no baseline, timeframe, process explanation, and relevant references may not be relevant to your business context. As such, these act more as sales copy rather than proof of work. 
  • Vanity reporting: Strong SEO reporting connects search visibility to meaningful business outcomes, such as qualified traffic, leads, sales, or other conversions. If an agency reports only rankings, impressions, or isolated keyword movements, it may not be tying SEO work to real business value.
  • Ownership issues: Any agency that pushes for admin access, server access, or domain control before earning your trust creates unnecessary risk. During the audit or assessment stage, read-only access is usually the safer starting point. 

What questions should you ask SEO companies in New York?

When interviewing SEO companies in NY, ask about how they prioritize work, who will actually work on your account, how they handle attribution, what realistic outcomes they expect, and how they will connect SEO performance to your business goals. 

Here are a few questions to start with: 

  1. How will you prioritize the work when budget and development resources are limited? 
  2. Who will work on our SEO account? What will be outsourced, and what level of senior involvement should we expect?
  3. What is realistically achievable within the first 90 days? 
  4. How will you handle attribution, lead quality, and pipeline tracking when SEO impact is not immediately obvious? 
  5. How will you measure success in a way that aligns with our revenue goals, not just SEO metrics?
