Brandon Miller's Review Sourced from Google
Eclipse took over after another company had been managing our SEO for eight months without a single ranking change. The difference wasn't just the results, Mike actually explained what had gone wrong and why certain pages weren't indexing properly. We knew what we were paying for from that point forward.
Justin Dollins's Review Sourced from Google
We'd been sending people to our website for years and never once had someone contact us through it. Eclipse looked at the pages and pointed out exactly why, the content wasn't matching what people actually typed into Google. The SEO company rebuilt our approach around real search intent and the inquiry volume is finally consistent.
Dmorea Garrett's Review Sourced from Google
We were hesitant to invest in SEO services because we'd heard mixed things from other business owners. Eclipse made the case clearly, set realistic expectations, and delivered on them. Our organic rankings are the best they've been and we're not relying as heavily on paid ads anymore.

BRK Global Marketing and Jack Burke’s creative team absolutely exceeded my expectations.From the very beginning, BRK designed and built an original, standout brand for Devon Creek Landscaping that truly set us apart in the landscaping community. They created our logo and carried it seamlessly across everything—vehicle wraps, uniforms, brochures, social media frames, swag, digital and print advertising, and even our trade show booth.What really impressed me was the depth of strategy behind the creativity. BRK developed our brand voice, brand personality, and comprehensive brand guidelines, which became the foundation of our franchise marketing strategy system when we launched the brand. Everything was thoughtful, consistent, and built for long-term growth.Afterward, we had the pleasure of working with BRK again to design my personal Steven Alessandro brand as a thought leader and consultant for franchise owners and business leaders across the U.S. Once again, they hit the target.Jack and his team were incredibly responsive, listened closely to what I needed, and delivered an end result that was truly beyond my expectations. Their originality, attention to detail, and ability to translate vision into a powerful brand is unmatched.If you’re looking to stand out and build a brand that actually works—not just looks good—BRK Global Marketing is the team to trust.
Brian Gates's Review Sourced from Google
I’ve had the pleasure of working with BRK Global Marketing on multiple initiatives, starting with branding and a new logo for MRC over eighteen years ago, and now continuing with the RubberBond Elements brand and marketing strategy.What truly stands out is the longevity and consistency of strong deliverables that Jack and his team provide. Every project is approached with creativity, originality, and a clear strategic vision. BRK doesn’t just meet expectations—they consistently overdeliver.Their ability to evolve brands while maintaining clarity and impact has made them a trusted partner. I’m excited to continue working together and are already moving forward into 2026 with a new brand awareness strategy. Highly recommend BRK Global Marketing to any organization looking for creative excellence and dependable results.

Chariot Creative were incredible to work with. Our project development team was not familiar with building websites and Chariot Creative led us patiently by the hand through the entire process. They took our ideas, concepts and content needs and crafted the perfect website-based tool for us and our stakeholders. When we showed the results to our stakeholders around the coastal US, the consistent feedback was how beautiful and engaging the website was - which was critical for the success of our project. Chariot Creative were receptive to our crazy ideas and suggestions ("Is this even possible?") and were able to translate them into reality ("Sure, this is how it would look..."). Then, they even helped design the social marketing strategy for our project. I would (and have) recommend them to anyone needing anything web design, social marketing, SE), etc. They were a pleasure to work with.

They were patient, kind, professional and above all else they are masters at their craft, the proof is in our new logo design and website.

There were three immediately necessary elements - 1) internal communications materials about the overhaul of the brand narrative in order to build trust and enthusiasm internally for the new strategic direction of the company, 2) recruitment marketing assets to attract new talent to the organization very rapidly, and 3) go-to-market assets for multiple vertical industries where Ricoh was strategically focused on specific levels of growth.Modo Modo Agency helped me lead the charge by generating extremely valuable internal communications materials, visual design system assets, manager and leadership guides and more to help with evangelizing internally the evolved brand narrative and the new strategic plan set forth by the CEO. They also created a significant number recruitment marketing assets for a number of digital channels to help build excitement around the brand, attract talent, and encourage employment applications for the significant number of open positions the company needed to fill. Lastly, we worked closely on GTM initiatives across paid and owned channels for the specific vertical industries Ricoh had identified in their strategic growth plan.The team is strategic, focused on meeting business objectives, and delivering on the critical KPIs of each program. Modo Modo Agency stepped in quickly, delivered smart, well-executed, and effective assets for all the audiences and channels we needed to address. I would enthusiastically recommend them and would most definitely hire them again.

David Epps's Review Sourced from Google
This is our first year at Peach Bowl, Inc. working with Modo Modo. In fact, we're literally months into our business relationship.I'll be able to provide a more thorough review later, but we have found Modo Modo to be an intensely engaged agency. They have very talented people in the design chairs and the account management team. They've been extremely responsive in terms of learning how we like to work, and reacting accordingly.We made the decision to leave one agency and sign on with Modo Modo, and the best thing I can say at this point is that we are not disappointed in our decision. We've seen and are expecting top-shelf work from them.

SEO Review from Ken Calof
I engaged Search Engine Projects approximately three months ago to improve my website's search visibility and overall online presence. Working with Shawn and his team has been an outstanding experience from start to finish. The team conducted a comprehensive audit of my website and delivered proactive, actionable strategies to enhance both its design appeal and search engine performance. They then implemented the recommended changes efficiently and professionally. Shawn is hands-on, accessible, and takes the time to explain his recommendations in clear terms, which made the entire process transparent and collaborative. Within three months, my website has a noticeably more polished, professional appearance and is now ranking number one in organic search results a significant improvement in visibility that has directly benefited my business. I highly recommend Search Engine Projects Digital Marketing to any company seeking a knowledgeable, responsive SEO and digital marketing partner.
SEO Review from Marjan Khorrami
I was referred to SEP marketing company by an attorney friend to redesign my website and handle my SEO and marketing. He said "if it doesn't work for you I will pay everything you paid this company". From the moment we started working together, the experience has been outstanding. They created an excellent website that looks professional and is easy for patients to navigate. Since launching the new website and starting new marketing strategy, our patients traffic has increased noticeably. They also consistently create informative and engaging content for our social media, which has helped strengthen our online presence. And what truly sets them apart is their responsiveness, no matter when I call, they always answer and are always ready to help. I only wish I had started working with them much sooner. I highly recommend Search Engine Projects company for any business looking to grow.

Carrie WRead's Review Sourced from Google
Our small business has had the fortune and pleasure to work with DoubleUp Digital for a few years now with a major redesign of our website. Throughout the process DoubleUp was responsive to our requests and patient with us as the project was sometimes relegated to our own back burner as other business needs sometimes took precedence. Since the website launched (it is gorgeous!) DoubleUp has been responsive to every question and request we have had to send their way.
Matthew Bolian's Review Sourced from Google
Double Up Digital is a first class organization that produces results. As the Directory of Marketing for Connectivity Wireless, they helped us (Connectivity Wireless) supercharge our organic website traffic via our website revamp and optimize our SEO strategy. If you are considering a digital marketing agency that will have an immediate impact, look no further than Double Up Digital.

We've been working with Double Up since October 2018, originally to do a website re-design. After launching the re-design, the team showed great commitment to always being available and jumping on any additional bug fixes, updates and improvements we had. We recently on-boarded them as a user experience consultant and can say the service and communication continues to be great. The team is energetic, transparent and enjoyable to work with. Highly recommend working with this team!

Sasha B's Review Sourced from Google
I partnered with FPS on website design and SEO for my new business a number of years back. Their approach to thought leadership caused our site to rank on the first page for nearly all of our keywords, and the first result on Google for several of our core keywords. The resulting traffic generated dozens of valuable leads, kickstarting our success in a way that wouldn't have been possible without FPS.More recently, I needed a new website for a passion project of mine and turned to FPS once again. While SEO practices continue to evolve, FPS's thoughtful approach to website design and search engine optimization has remained consistent.FPS has proven to be an invaluable marketing partner, and I will continue to choose them for web design and thought leadership content creation. I wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone seeking an edge in the digital landscape.

Prepare an internal decision maker and development and content capacity to accelerate the onboarding process and ensure implementation of SEO consulting services strategies.
What you need from day one:
According to a study by seoClarity, the top challenges in implementing SEO are a lack of search engine implementation resources (55%) and a lack of development or engineering resources (52.5%).
As such, by having these three items prepared, you prevent most of the SEO roadblocks.
The clearest sign that SEO consulting agency is built around your revenue goals is whether the consultant can explain which of your pages drive leads and sales before they have started working.
An SEO expert who cannot provide a clear answer is selling you packages rather than outcomes. As a result, you may end the year with more published SEO content and tracked keywords, but no measurable lift in qualified leads.
What a revenue-connected proposal looks like:
A revenue-connected proposal includes a prioritization rationale based on your current performance. It should answer: why these pages, why these keywords, why now.
Ask the experts to walk you through the decisions behind their strategies. These four questions also help surface if they have performed pre-engagement analysis on your site:
A discovery call is your lowest-cost opportunity to disqualify the wrong SEO consulting firm before money changes hands. The red flags to watch out for are consultants who lead with rankings, provide no clear process and strategy, and are unable to pivot.
The difference between a proposal built for you and one built for anyone shows up in the details: specific audit findings, named owners for every deliverable, and clear language about what happens when the engagement ends. If any of the elements below are missing, ask for them in writing before you sign.
| Proposal element | What it should include |
| Pre-engagement audit finding | Specific site and SEO issues, such as keyword targeting gaps and Web Core Vitals health. |
| Defined deliverables with clear ownership | Named team members responsible for each line item. For instance, the client is responsible for content production. |
| Measurement framework and reporting cadence | The specific metrics tracked, items included in the report, and the frequency of the report. |
| IP and data ownership language | The produced content, technical work, data, and account should all belong to you. |
| Exit clause | The notice period, offboarding process, and what happens to ongoing work once the contract is terminated. |
| Defined escalation path | An SEO specialist in a management or leadership position who you can directly contact when you are dissatisfied with the results or the communication of the current team. |
While SEO is a long-term strategy, you should receive a concrete strategy in your first 3 months, initial movement in months 3-6, and revenue-connected SEO before month 12. If nothing has moved by the fourth month, you should start investigating the work of the SEO consulting company.
Here is what you can expect in the first 12 months of your engagement:
| Timeline | What could happen |
| Months 1-3 |
|
| Months 3-6 |
|
| Months 6-12 |

An SEO consulting company offers strategic expertise in a particular field or vertical, such as eCommerce SEO, but relies on your team for execution. Conversely, an SEO agency provides strategy and execution in one package but lacks the specialized depth of a consultant.
Hire SEO consulting services when:
Hire an SEO agency when:
The decision ultimately depends on your scope, accountability, and day-to-day management.
Consider a flat monthly fee for predictable work, and an hourly consulting fee for occasional input rather than day-to-day execution.
The table below compares both models across the decisions that matter most: predictability, risk, and fit.
| Flat monthly retainer | Hourly consulting fee | |
| Pros | Predictable for budgeting and provides a clear deliverable structure | Flexible scope and pricing that adjusts to your actual needs |
| Risks | Scope creep: consultant underdelivers and hides behind the retainer, or the package no longer meets your expanding needs | Difficult to manage, as hours can be consumed by calls and reports rather than high-value work |
| Best for | Businesses with a well-defined, recurring scope of work | Businesses that need occasional expert input rather than ongoing execution |
Another alternative is to start your engagement with the SEO consultant on an hourly fee, when you need a high-level strategy the most. Then shift a monthly retainer for day-to-day management and execution of SEO work.
Most SEO retainers are priced for a narrower scope than buyers assume. The gap between what the proposal covers and what the work requires only becomes visible after the contract is signed. Before you agree to a monthly fee, ask your consultant to confirm in writing whether each of the following is included or billed separately:
Ask questions that pressure-test judgment, not just credentials. SEO consulting companies who have genuinely done this work will answer with specificity. One who hasn't will answer with confidence that falls apart under follow-up.
Here are 8 questions to help evaluate the SEO services company's capabilities:
Rankings and total traffic volume are not business measurements. Any reporting framework built around these two metrics alone shows your activity, not impact. Insist on a dashboard that connects organic search performance directly to revenue outcomes, including the following:
According to FirstPageSage, the average ROI for technical SEO is 117% with break-even at month six, while thought leadership SEO reaches 748% ROI within nine months. These benchmarks are what a properly measured campaign should be able to work toward.
Realistically, you should start seeing initial movement after 3-6 months of implementing the SEO consultant's strategies. By the 6-12-month mark, you should record sustained, measurable results, such as an increase in qualified leads and organic-attributed revenue.
The final timeline of results will depend on:
Below is an estimated timeline on what to expect during your engagement:
Consider switching SEO specialists when there is no measurable improvement within 3-6 months, without clear explanations and action plans on how to resolve the situation. Another signal is when you observe repeated behavioral problems, including a lack of transparency and communication.
Here are some signs that it is time to leave your current SEO engagement:
