      I don't have enough words for Sam. Professional, empathic, efficient, considerate, fair. He was able to very quickly diagnose and fix my computer's PSU/Corruption issues. Now it's working like brand new. Very fair price, and did not upcharge for the replacement part. Will not go to anyone but Sam, would 100% recommend him over any of the scammers that you usually see that offer repairs.

      Tobi and her team have truly been a blessing to work with. When I first reached out to Instinctive Branding, Tobi told me, "I do business with people, not businesses." That mindset has guided every step of her work — and I couldn’t be more grateful.As someone who’s extremely Type A and a bit of a perfectionist, I deeply appreciated how patient, attentive, and detail-oriented the entire team was. They took the time to understand my vision and made sure every element reflected exactly what I was hoping for. I’m thrilled with the results and so thankful for their support.

      Belinda Witherspoon's Review Sourced from Google

      I had the pleasure of working with Rodney, the owner of Cardinal Group Marketing, on rebuilding my website, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. Throughout the process, I changed my mind several times and even had a few last-minute requests. Rodney was incredibly patient, never judgmental, and always willing to make the adjustments I asked for.What really stood out was how thoughtful and professional he was when it came to guiding me through more significant changes. Before moving forward, he took the time to explain why certain design elements or functions worked better for aesthetics, usability, and overall performance. His expertise gave me the confidence that my site wouldn’t just look the way I envisioned but would also function smoothly for visitors.The end result exceeded my expectations. Rodney blends technical skill with a true eye for design and, most importantly, a commitment to client satisfaction. If you’re looking for someone who is knowledgeable, patient, and dedicated to bringing your vision to life while making sure it works at its best, Rodney and Cardinal Group Marketing are the way to go.

      I had a great call with Rodney to discuss the revamp of my Pilates studio website, and I couldn’t be more confident in the direction we’re heading. He was incredibly thorough in understanding my vision, walking through my current site with care and offering thoughtful recommendations on layout, photography, and content organization.One of the things I really appreciated was how he explained the value of having a branding kit and a refreshed logo—both of which we’ve now included in my package. It’s clear that Rodney not only has a strong design eye but also understands the importance of cohesive brand identity.After viewing his portfolio—especially his work with other Pilates studios—I knew I was in good hands. His aesthetic is exactly what I’ve been looking for: fresh, minimalist, and modern. I’m excited to see the transformation unfold!Here’s a “before” of my current site, and I’ll be sure to update with an “after” link once Rodney works his magic.

      I can't say enough great things about working with Local Presence SEO, LLC! As the owner of a childcare center, I knew how important it was to improve our online visibility—but I didn’t know where to begin. David and his team made the entire process easy to understand, and they took the time to really learn about our business and what makes us unique.Since partnering with them, we’ve seen a noticeable increase in website traffic, more inquiries from new families, and a stronger presence in local search results. They’ve helped us show up exactly where we need to be. Their communication has been clear, professional, and always timely.If you run a small business—especially in the childcare industry—I highly recommend working with this team. Their SEO strategies truly deliver results!

      David provides the best SEO services by far. We have used other companies and they were a big flop. Local Presence SEO had us ranking on the first page in no time, and it has really helped our business. David provides monthly reports and explains it al to us which helps us understand what’s going on instead of just expecting us to just trust him like other companies do. If you want a great looking Website and SEO that really works, call David.
