Web Design Review from Adrian Digby
With my values around integrity, excellence, trust and creativity, selecting a partner for designing and creating my new website was so important to me. This led me to working with First Rate Marketing and in particular I had the privilege of working with Sam.From the onset, Sam was fully engaged and demonstrated a great understanding of my business and my requirements. His approach was not merely transactional; it was a collaborative journey. Sam's expertise shone through as he presented a variety of options and solutions that were not only in alignment with my vision but also enhanced it significantly.What set First Rate Marketing apart was their responsiveness to my inquiries and the constructive challenges they presented. These challenges were not roadblocks but rather catalysts for innovation, prompting me to explore new perspectives and ideas. This level of engagement and thought-provocation was instrumental in achieving a final product that truly resonated with my brand's identity and my vision.For professionals and businesses looking to explore their online presence, I wholeheartedly recommend engaging in a dialogue with First Rate Marketing. Sam, in particular, exemplifies the blend of creativity, technical prowess, and strategic thinking that can transform a concept into a tangible, impactful digital experience.

Cole figured out the issues from just a glance at my Meta dashboard and was able to fix them within the hour.

Cole and team have taken our Google Ads account to the next level. Prior to working with their team, we had found a winning campaign type for our organization but didn't have the bandwidth or in-depth knowledge to scale. Their in-depth knowledge and expertise and their flexibility to adapt with our culture of rapid experimentation.Cole and his team have been easy and flexible to work with and week over week are:- Optimizing our campaigns- Building new test campaigns from start to finish (including more in-depth keyword research, copy creation, and build)- Reporting- Bringing new ideas to the tableIn just 4 months, all of our tofu metrics have improved - CTRs, impressions, impression share, etc, but most importantly have doubled weekly conversions and are just getting started.

WordPress Website Design Review from Geoff Den
Our collaboration with WebLitchi has been a transformative experience for our Pool & Spa Services company. From the outset, our goals were clear: enhance our online presence, receive expert guidance on marketing strategies, and revamp our website. WebLitchi's team, comprised of a CEO, copywriter, designer, developers, project manager, and customer relationship manager, exhibited a remarkable level of flexibility and efficiency. Their ability to work with minimal client involvement was particularly impressive, allowing us to focus on our core business while they executed the redesign and development of our website and implemented effective marketing strategies.The project's measurable outcomes have been undeniably positive. WebLitchi's marketing efforts led to a sustainable flow of prospects, contributing significantly to our business metrics with approximately 30% of all jobs originating from their strategies. The enhanced website not only improved visual appeal but also translated into a better user experience, reflected in decreased bounce rates and increased engagement. Throughout the collaboration, WebLitchi's project management was commendable, delivering items on time with occasional delays largely attributable to our team's availability constraints.While the collaboration has been overwhelmingly successful, minor areas for improvement could include refining communication channels and enhancing proactive suggestions for strategy optimization. Nevertheless, these considerations do not overshadow the overall positive experience with WebLitchi. Their responsiveness, commitment to results, and unique ability to adapt and deliver have positioned them as a valuable partner in our journey to elevate our business in the competitive Pool & Spa Services industry.
Web Design Review from Jennifer Barr
What stands out most about WebLitchi is their ability to transcend the typical client-vendor relationship and truly act as strategic business partners. The depth of their involvement goes beyond merely providing services; they demonstrate a genuine understanding of our business goals and consistently align their efforts with our best interests.WebLitchi's unique approach lies in their proactive contribution to the projects. They don't merely execute tasks; they actively engage in discussions, provide valuable insights, and, when necessary, push back on suggestions that may not align with the overarching goals. This collaborative and consultative stance distinguishes them as a partner deeply invested in the success of our brand.The company's commitment to holistic business growth is evident in their impact on various facets of our operations. From improving brand perception to attracting talent and driving increased online transactions, WebLitchi has proven to be not just a service provider but a catalyst for positive change and advancement.what is most impressive about WebLitchi is their ability to transcend the conventional client-agency dynamic, functioning as true business partners with a vested interest in our success. Their collaborative approach, strategic insights, and tangible contributions to overall business growth make them stand out in the digital services landscape.
WordPress Website Design Review from Tia Blakely
WebLitchi Web Agency has been an invaluable partner for our small private equity firm, ANI, located in the suburbs of Chicago. We initiated our collaboration in 2018 with the goal of revamping our outdated website, and WebLitchi has delivered beyond our expectations.What impressed us most was the unwavering professionalism exhibited by the WebLitchi team. They consistently met deadlines, maintained transparent communication channels through both email and phone, and demonstrated a proactive approach to addressing any challenges that arose during the project. This professionalism not only instilled confidence in their capabilities but also fostered a collaborative and efficient working relationship.Navigating the development of a new website from scratch was a first for our team, and WebLitchi's patience throughout the process was instrumental. Their understanding and guidance made the journey more manageable, creating a supportive environment for collaboration. This patient approach significantly contributed to the success of the project.WebLitchi's creativity added a distinctive touch to the collaboration. They didn't just fulfill our basic requirements; they brought innovative ideas to the table and suggested enhancements that elevated the project. This creative input played a crucial role in developing a website that not only met our technical specifications but exceeded our expectations in terms of design and functionality.our experience with WebLitchi has been overwhelmingly positive.

The team at Create By Influence has been an exceptional partner in growing our business. Nick, Steven, and their skilled team delivered a custom-built Loan Portal and CRM that perfectly fit our needs. They’re now leading a dynamic marketing campaign to drive our growth further. Their tailored solutions and collaborative approach make them stand out as true partners. I couldn’t recommend Create By Influence more highly!
Harris Gibson's Review Sourced from Google
Create By Influence is great! I had already been through a bunch of different marketing companies and wasn't too sure I wanted to hire another company to market my small business. Nick and his team explained their process and worked within the parameters of my budget. Most importantly, this is a company that has integrity. I'm glad I gave Create By Influence a try. You will be too!

JPG Designs did a fantastic job of redesigning the YANA Newport website. As a non-profit organization hosting 12Step Meetings and health related programs, we felt that Jeff and Zach took the time to really understand who we are and our mission to serve the community. The process was seamless, with simple steps our team could work on and get immediate feedback. All of the obstacles were overcome with their willingness to do extra research, and we are so pleased with the result- a professional and engaging website that not only is user friendly, but has functionality for all of our needs. Thank you JPG Designs- we highly recommend your services!

We are thrilled with the results, and found that were very responsive, creative and great at offering solutions when we had concerns or questions on the design and implementation of the new site. We really wanted our website to speak to potential customers on who we are, and we feel they did a great job with that! I would highly recommend the team!

Viola and her team are true experts when it comes to SEO/SEM for global B2B brands. My content agency has worked with them on a number of clients over the years, and here's why they are always my top choice partner for organic and paid search:1. They're data-driven without limiting themselves to mindless "optimizing" that looks good in a "performance" report without driving revenue. You don't just get spreadsheets and charts dumped on you. You get a strategic partner.2. They understand the value of high-quality content. This may seem obvious, but all too many SEO firms and consultants focus on the numbers and miss the bigger picture of the customer experience.3. They're also incredibly warm people, with a high degree of cross-cultural competency. When you're working across time zones with a mix of inhouse and agency partners, those communication skills become as important as the technical skills.
Christopher Mark's Review Sourced from Google
I first came across Viola & Flow SEO on LinkedIn. I admired her principle-driven approach and the degree of understanding Viola had of the mechanics of SaaS growth, from the perspective of SEO. We brought Flow SEO onboard and we were so impressed with how organised they were, the structure behind their program and the way they pushed us to achieve best practice, even when we wanted to move quickly. Hands down the best SEO practitioner (Viola) and the best SEO agency (Flow SEO) I’ve worked with to date.

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:
