Overall I feel very confident working with Patrizia and Darius from Smart Site, they have given us clear explanations and accompanied us throughout the process for the growth of the brand. The attention to us is very fast and they advise us in an adequate way.
Digital Services Review from Brianna Porter
SmartSites impressed me from day one. They are knowledgable, kind, and most importantly keep things simple and streamlined so that even an SEO-newb like me can understand. Tiffany and Luna are my main points of contact and they are especially great! I would recommend to anyone looking for an agency to really take their website and digital presence to the next level.
PPC Review from Jim Curry
At first, a survey was conducted to gather company background, product information, target markets, etc. Next, accounts were established on various Google Business platforms, social media, etc. Then SmartSites created the ads and campaigns, and we were off and running in just a few weeks.

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.

Web Design Review from Nick Scarpino
Americaneagle.com has a seamless process from project ideation through completion. I found a lot of value in the system they have for mocking up the site during the design phase. Seeing the site on a mobile device and a desktop computer at that stage in the process was critical.

Digital Marketing Review from Marialuisa Garito
The introduction to the concept was awesome, that's why I got trapped and lost money. After 3 months of working with them, the results are ZERO ROI and ZERO ROAS, plus my Facebook account got hacked and it's still disabled and under investigation. They sell you professionals that then I found these "same professionals" on Upwork for cheaper. So basically you pay a fee to have them outsource these guys that you can find by yourself, and the only reason I did it's because I thought I was backed up

Their team is filled with innovative minds that are always forward-thinking and making thoughtful recommendations as the market changes to keep our business top-of-mind. We couldn't have asked for a better partner to manage our website, SEO, and Paid SEM efforts. Thank you, Williams Media!
Jayce Wallace's Review Sourced from Google
Williams Media has been an amazing resource for our business since 2015. They've approached our relationship as a partner, not a transactional resource. From the initial consultation to ongoing website management, it's always been a great experience. Clean branding, clear messaging, and a responsive team is all I could ask for. I would highly recommend them for your marketing needs.

Sean and Keanu have been amazing to work with. We've been working with Power for several years, now and they have been the only marketing team that truly makes me feel like they care. They pivot quickly when things aren't working out, and the SEO work they've done and suggestions on the website have brought so much success to my small business. Each time we have a call, we brainstorm new ideas to bring in more business, and the work that they do is thorough and done in a timely fashion. I'd recommend them 100%.

Choose the SEO service type that aligns with your customer search behavior, business needs, and the constraints that are blocking your growth.
Below are the most common SEO services:
| SEO service | Choose it when | Best for |
| Local SEO | You need to improve visibility in Google Maps, Google Business Profiles, and local-intent searches | Small businesses targeting a specific city, neighborhood, or service area |
| Technical SEO | You need to fix crawling, indexing, rendering, site architecture, speed, or mobile usability issues | Organizations with complex websites or engineering-related SEO problems |
| On-page SEO and content | You need stronger service pages, topic coverage, internal linking, and people-first content | Businesses with weak coverage, thin pages, and low relevance |
| eCommerce SEO | You need help with category pages, product pages, faceted navigation, and product discovery | Brands with large catalogs and require product/category discovery |
| International SEO | You serve multiple countries, regions, or languages and need the right URL structure and localization signals | Businesses with multi-country or multilingual websites |
| Off-page SEO | You need credible mentions and links from real sources, not link schemes | Brands with strong content but weak website authority |
A recent study on Google algorithm ranking factors found that the consistent publication of satisfying content (23%) is the most influential SEO factor. This is followed by keywords in the meta title tag (14%), backlinks (13%), niche expertise (13%), and search engagement (12%).
The right SEO agencies in New York are those who have proven results in your specific niche and competitive borough, such as Manhattan or Brooklyn. Additionally, these agencies align their capabilities and operating models to match your needs.
Here is a side-by-side comparison to better help your evaluation process:
| Strong fit | Weak fit |
| Client record of businesses with the same model, sales cycle, and search complexity | Client record that shows named brands but are unrelated to your buyer journey or site type |
| Provides expertise in the SEO type you need | Offers generic SEO coverage, and does not customize its services to your needs |
| Case studies show baseline, work performed, time frame, and business outcomes | Case studies only show ranking screenshots and vanity traffic |
| Offers a named team, clear scope, transparent reporting, and reasonable contract terms | Guarantees results, but is vague about its delivery team methods |
According to a Backlinko study, the following are the primary factors that businesses consider when choosing an SEO company:
Additionally, 78% of businesses say that the SEO agency's location is important when choosing a partner.
Before making a final decision, you should have a clear view of the agency's proposed priorities, realistic expected outcomes, reporting approach, named team, tool stack, and access requirements.
With that information, you can more objectively evaluate whether an agency understands your business, can address your search performance challenges, and is likely to support your goals.
Credible SEO agencies in New York should be able to provide:
Your contract with a New York SEO agency should include a clear scope of work, named team members and responsibilities, deliverables, timelines and milestones, payment terms, asset ownership, and a termination clause.
Look for the following when reviewing your SEO contract:
By including these terms, you reduce misunderstandings, protect your assets, and make it easier to transition away from the agency if needed.
In the first 90 days, your New York SEO agency would usually deliver an SEO audit, prioritized roadmap, baseline measurement setup, initial keyword and content research, and the resolution of critical errors.
Because SEO results often take time, be cautious of agencies that promise major ranking, traffic, or revenue gains in the first 90 days.
Expect the following in the first 90 days of your engagement with the New York SEO agency:
| Timeframe | Activity | Deliverables |
| Days 1-30 |
|
|
| Days 31-60 |
|
|
| Days 61-90 |

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
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
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
Consider a full-service digital marketing agency if:Â
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
Ideally, the agency should also show case studies involving businesses with a similar sales cycle, geographic focus, website complexity, and level of competition.Â
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
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
