Web Design Review from Keeman Malone
I contacted American Logo Developers and requested a Logo Design for my company. Joseph Paul and his team reached out to me and gave me the initial consultation regarding the type of logo I was looking to have created. Joseph and his team were open to all my ideas and made suggestions and feedback to improve my logo design.
After completing the logo design Joseph provided great insight on how to move my computer forward long term. Joseph and his team have been true professionals with helping me take my vision and turning it into reality. He is open to feedback and does not stop short of providing excellent customer service and support. I highly recommend Joseph and his team in developing your company and making your ideas come to life.

Jake Mackay
Founder at Print Shoppe
4.7★
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!
Anthony North

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.

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.

Alissa Lewandowski's Review Sourced from Google
We’ve been using 360 PSG for a couple years and I absolutely could not have asked for a better company. They deliver. We asked for a social media campaign. It exceeded expectations. We needed a website revamp. They did it. They are super pleasant to work with, their communication is quick, professional, and comprehensive. I never leave a meeting with unanswered questions and they always have solutions to whatever I need. I’ve worked with at least 5 website companies in the past and they by FAR the superior company.

Corey M. Shepard's Review Sourced from Google
I hired these people A year and a half ago. I had them for about nine months. I stated right upfront that I had high expectations after being with another company took my money and literally get nothing. After taking a ton of my money, they got bought out and never heard from them again. But that’s besides the point, In the beginning, I was hooked up with a guy named Dave was my account manager, he’s a super cool guy and we got along very well, I like Dave, but the people behind the scenes did absolutely nothing for my business. By return on investment was literally negative about $10,000 or more. In total, I think I got maybe two or three weeds over the course of that time. And thousands of dollars. I also have proof in paperwork if anyone is interested in seeing it. I would not recommend these people, they string you along and at the end of the day then you’re not get results for you. If you have a business, I recommend looking elsewhere for advertising.

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