Bird Marketing Reviews & Testimonials
Olivia Lindeloo
Marketing Consultant at Ad Hoc Property Management

Web Design Review from Olivia Lindeloo
We recently worked with Bird Marketing on the full design and build of our new website, and we are delighted with the entire experience. From the very beginning, the communication and support were excellent, and the end result is exactly what we were hoping for.
We want to give a special mention to Jess, who managed the design and was our main contact throughout the project. She made every stage feel smooth, clear and well supported. On the technical side, Call handled all of the development work and the Salesforce integrations with great skill. Everything functions perfectly and the technical delivery has been outstanding.
The team responded quickly every time we had a question or request. Even when the scope of the website changed during the project, Bird remained flexible, understanding and genuinely helpful. Their willingness to adapt made a real difference.
Now that the site is live, we are excited to continue working with Bird as we begin our SEO project, especially with Lewis, who we are very much looking forward to collaborating with.
Bird Marketing has been exceptional across design, development, communication and ongoing support. We are very happy with every aspect of the project and highly recommend their team.

Since they took over our Google Ads, we've seen a noticeable increase in qualified sales and a much better return on ad spend.

SEO Review from Dmytro Semonov
We partnered with Luxeo to scale our organic traffic and make sure our platform, Aiter.io, gets noticed by both traditional and AI search engines. They completely took over our search strategy, handling everything from deep keyword research and high-quality link-building to cutting-edge Answer Engine Optimization (AEO). Working with them has been super smooth they never miss a deadline, keep communication totally transparent, and genuinely feel like an extension of our own team. Thanks to their work, our organic traffic and domain ratings went up noticeably. But the real game-changer is that Aiter.io now consistently shows up and gets recommended by major AI models when users ask them for marketing tools. Plenty of agencies do standard SEO, but Luxeo actually understands the future of search. We couldn't be happier with the results and the overall vibe of the teamwork.

For any IT consulting firm looking to improve its online presence, I highly recommend Luxeo as a reliable and results-driven SEO partner.

Social Media Marketing Review from Adeoye Odunayo
Crypto Traffic Market delivered an excellent experience for our project. We needed a marketing partner that understood the Web3 and crypto industry, and their team showed strong expertise from the beginning. They helped us improve brand visibility, grow community engagement, and create a more strategic marketing presence across key channels.
Their communication was one of the strongest parts of the collaboration. They were responsive, professional, and always available to answer questions or provide updates. Every task was handled on time, and they adapted quickly whenever campaign priorities changed.
The quality of work was impressive, especially their understanding of crypto audiences and how to build trust in a competitive market. They focused on real growth and practical strategies instead of unrealistic promises.
Their pricing was fair considering the value and results delivered. Overall, we were very satisfied with the partnership and would confidently recommend Crypto Traffic Market to any blockchain, DeFi, NFT, or Web3 project looking for a reliable marketing agency.

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
