Major Tom Reviews & Testimonials
Chris Palliser
Community Manager at Shift
5.0★
Web Design Review from Chris Palliser
I work with Shift (Solar & Energy Storage Installer) and I had a great experience working with Major Tom on our brand refresh and new website. Their team is knowledgable, thoughtful, supportive, and I feel they personally and genuinely want us to succeed as a business. Shout out to Nathalie! They made me feel like a priority during any request, and delivered a polished functional design and UX that feels both national and locally grounded, exactly what we asked for. Communication was strong throughout, and they were quick to find solutions when challenges came up, as they inevitably do. Thank you, Major Tom! Highly Recommend!

Digital Advertising Review from Tim Thatcher
I've worked with Major Tom for just over 10 years in varying capacities across their Paid Media and Social Media teams. I've always enjoyed very positive working relationships, and they have offered great value and strategic guidance to media campaigns. They always add valuable insights into the data and make recommendations to improve overall strategy. It's always felt like a strong strategic partnership and they seem to have a positive working culture. Would highly recommend them as a media partner.

WordPress Website Design Review from Jamie McCalman
Major Tom is a strong choice for enterprise organizations that need both strategic thinking and technical reliability. They understand the demands of a national insurance brokerage and bring the right expertise to every phase of a project.
Their workflow is structured and efficient, with seamless handoffs between design, development, and launch. Anna provides excellent account leadership. She is responsive, organized, and solutions oriented. From maintaining nearly perfect uptime to rapidly addressing security and technical issues, their team is dependable. The new website components they designed have enhanced how we communicate complex insurance information to our clients.

Nathaniel Jacobson's Review Sourced from Google
Management does not value the work and time of its people. They are quick to criticize but never take a moment to appreciate or recognize achievement. Outcomes are measured as wins or loses rather than the quality put into work and the circumstances of doing it.

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. Â
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. Â
However, a realistic budget should reflect your work scope and depth, including industry competition, current SEO performance, service type, and content velocity. Â
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. Â
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.Â
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.Â
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.Â
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.Â
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.Â
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.Â
Consider a New York SEO agency if:Â
Organic search is your main customer acquisition channel or growth challenge.Â
You need specialized expertise in technical SEO, local SEO, eCommerce SEO, or multilingual SEO.Â
You want deep search diagnostics, keyword strategy, and a focused SEO roadmap.Â
Consider a full-service digital marketing agency if:Â
You want one agency to manage SEO alongside paid media, social media, content, and email marketing.Â
You are launching a multi-channel campaign and need broader marketing support.Â
You need paid search and SEO to work together as part of one integrated strategy.Â
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.Â
Strong SEO case studies should include:Â
The starting baselineÂ
The business problemÂ
The project durationÂ
The agency's strategy and executionÂ
Measurable resultsÂ
The broader business impactÂ
Ideally, the agency should also show case studies involving businesses with a similar sales cycle, geographic focus, website complexity, and level of competition.Â
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.Â
Watch out for the following:Â
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.Â
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.Â
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.Â
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.Â
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.Â
Here are a few questions to start with:Â
How will you prioritize the work when budget and development resources are limited?Â
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?Â
How will you handle attribution, lead quality, and pipeline tracking when SEO impact is not immediately obvious?Â
How will you measure success in a way that aligns with our revenue goals, not just SEO metrics?Â
