Weve been working with Parachute for over five years, and they have been an excellent partner throughout that time. They developed our McMillan WordPress website and have continued to provide reliable support and guidance ever since.
Their team has a strong understanding of the professional services sector including the legal industry which has helped us not only maintain our website but also leverage it more strategically using the right tools and best practices.
What truly sets Parachute apart is their responsiveness and hands-on approach. They are quick to assist, proactive, and consistently make us feel like a priority rather than just another client. That level of personal attention and partnership is rare and greatly appreciated.

Our company had an excellent experience partnering with Jeremy and the 97 Switch team on our website and SEO. The initial build was on a tight timeline that was kept, and after the sites completion we saw a significant increase in new business coming our way. More medical professionals learned about us and wanted to join our network, which was an amazing bonus of working with 97 Switch. We've committed to work with 97 Switch for the next several years given they have been crucial in guiding our plan for growth.

Web Design Review from Justyna Chrupek
We hired them to build a new website. The website was quickly completed in just a couple months, and weve seen markedly positive results from 97 Switchs efforts. It's a new marketing feature that we use on a daily basis. The improved quality has facilitated our communication and made things much easier. Weve received great feedback from our vendors, investors, and customers who want to view our properties. Internally, our staff is excited to see what's going on in our company. We are definitely proud of our new platform. Our executive team is excited to be featured on the new website; previously, they didn't even want their picture shown. Before this redesign, we were almost embarrassed to send out the link. Now, we can comfortably share it with our investors, potential investors, and landlords so they keep track of our updates on a monthly basis. We love how this site presents the face of our company.

Web Design Review from Adam Greenberg
We've seen tremendous growth and exposure. The website has generated a number of new leads and weve received tons of cold calls from potential clients. This is thanks to 97 Switchs efforts to increase our digital exposure. We communicate primarily via phone and email and theyre highly responsive. I receive a response to emails within minutes and they get back to me within half an hour if I request a phone call. They're able to conduct face-to-face interactions in order to truly understand the goals and business culture of their clients. This allowed them to create a design that accurately represented our brand. I've had nothing but positive experiences with 97 Switch and Id recommend them to anyone.

When assisting us in rebranding our company and redesigning our website, Splendor invested significant time in really getting to understand our business and its nuances, what makes us unique, and what our value proposition is.

We attribute much of our recent success, particularly in attracting and retaining new customers, to Splendor’s great work.

We’ve had a great experience working with Baal & Spots. From the start, their team has been professional, responsive, and genuinely invested in helping us grow our business. They took the time to understand our goals and put together a strategy that actually delivers results—not just promises.
Their communication has been clear and consistent, and they’re always quick to adjust or provide insight when needed. It’s refreshing to work with a marketing partner that feels like an extension of our own team rather than just a vendor.
Overall, Baal & Spots has exceeded our expectations, and we’d highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and effective marketing company.

Samer Choucair's Review Sourced from Google
I worked with Almost Impossible on the branding of several startups and had a great experience throughout. Their team has a strong ability to take early-stage business concepts and turn them into distinctive, compelling brands with clear positioning and personality.
What stood out most was their strategic thinking and ability to work effectively in fast-paced startup environments, balancing creativity with commercial objectives. They were collaborative, responsive, and consistently delivered high-quality work across multiple projects.
I'd happily recommend Almost Impossible to any organization looking for a branding partner that understands both brand building and the realities of launching and growing new ventures.

danish khan's Review Sourced from Google
"Almost Impossible brought a very sharp and refreshing perspective to the launch of Country Arabia’s premium chilled meats range. Instead of following the usual FMCG route of idealised family cooking, they found a much more ownable way to communicate convenience: Lazy Recipes. The campaign was funny, simple, highly relevant to the product, and built specifically for how people consume content on YouTube and social media.
What I appreciated most was that the idea was not creativity for the sake of creativity. It was rooted in a clear product truth: if even the laziest cook could make something with Country Arabia, then busy families and everyday consumers could immediately understand the benefit. The work helped us stand out in a crowded category, delivered strong engagement, and gave the brand a tone that felt fresh, practical and memorable.
Almost Impossible understood the brief, challenged the obvious route, and turned a product launch into a campaign people actually wanted to watch.”
Best part I get to know the Joseph , friend for life

7 Frequently Asked Questions About SEO Consulting Services
What is the difference between an SEO consulting company and an SEO agency?
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:
Your primary need is strategic direction, and you have the internal capacity to execute.
You want one person to be accountable for the whole picture.
Your engagement is so complex that you require specialized thinking.
Hire an SEO agency when:
You need scale: high-volume content production, link building, and technical execution across a large site.
You want a team covering multiple disciplines under one contract.
Continuity of service matters more than continuity of the relationship.
The decision ultimately depends on your scope, accountability, and day-to-day management.
When should you consider a flat monthly retainer or an hourly consulting fee?
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.
What are the typical hidden fees or separate costs that are usually not included in a standard SEO retainer?
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:
Tools and software. Some SEO experts bill tracking and data analytics platforms, like Ahrefs and Screaming Frog, as pass-through costs.
Content production. Many retainers include content strategy, briefs, and optimization, but not actual production work. Clarify with your consultant if they are creating the content or if you need a separate writer for the job.
Link building. Outreach-based link building is often priced as a separate campaign from standard retainers. Some experts charge per link placement; others charge a flat monthly fee.
Technical development. SEO consultants often identify technical fixes, with implementation considered a separate cost.
Paid amplification. Some content-led SEO strategies include paid promotion to accelerate indexing and traffic. This is never included in a standard retainer.
One-time project work. A full site migration, a penalty recovery assessment, or a new market entry strategy are typically scoped as separate projects, not absorbed into a monthly fee.
What questions should you ask the SEO specialists during the evaluation stage?
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:
How will you translate your SEO strategy into our specific business outcomes, and what does your strategic roadmap look like for the first 90 days?
What is your specific experience navigating SEO within our industry’s regulatory compliance or B2B/B2C buying cycle?
Can you walk us through your exact process for acquiring backlinks? What types of links do you strictly refuse to build?
How do you handle complex technical SEO issues, such as site architecture migrations or international targeting?
Who actually does the work on my account, and how much of your time is involved?
What specific assets, access tokens, and internal stakeholder hours do you need from us during the first 30 days to prevent onboarding stagnation?
How do you isolate your SEO results from our other marketing channels (like PPC, PR, or direct brand growth) in your reporting?
How do you protect our site and pivot your strategy when a major search engine algorithm update rolls out mid-campaign?
What are the critical metrics you should insist on seeing to know the campaign is succeeding?
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:
Organic sessions for commercial pages. This allows you to evaluate the traffic that actually generates leads or sales.
Keyword ranking movement for target terms. A ranked priority list of keywords identified and tracked at the start of the engagement, and how it has been moving during the engagement.
Organic-attributed leads and conversions. Reports that connect SEO activity to CRM analytics or goals, including leads, pipeline, and conversions.
Search Console impressions and click-through rate (CTR) on priority pages. Impressions inform you whether Google is serving your pages for relevant queries. CTR shows you whether your titles and meta descriptions are compelling enough to earn the click.
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.
What is a realistic timeline for seeing results from your SEO consultant’s strategies?
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:
Your existing SEO and website performance
Industry competition level
Current SEO landscape
How quickly you implement the SEO strategies
Below is an estimated timeline on what to expect during your engagement:
Months 3-4: Improvement in traffic for target pages and longtail keyword impressions
Months 4-6: Higher ranking for lower-competition terms and early growth on optimized pages
Months 6-9: Upward trend on organic sessions to commercial pages and organic-assisted conversions
Months 9-12: Compounding traffic growth, with more pages entering the top 20 for target terms
When is it the right time to switch SEO specialists, and how do you do it without losing ground?
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:
You are past month 6 with no measurable movement, and the explanations are vague.
Your consultant cannot tell you, specifically, what they are working on for the month and why.
Reporting is late, inconsistent, or contains metrics you have asked to change.
You have raised concerns about results, and the response was defensive rather than diagnostic.
You have discovered tactics being used that you were not told about, particularly anything involving low-quality link schemes or AI-generated content at volume.
Before you switch SEO specialists, do the following to avoid losing ground and ensure a smooth transition:
Request access to all documents, reports, keyword tracking data, and content and assets produced during the engagement.
Confirm that you have full admin access to Search Console, Analytics, and any tools setup under your domain.
Set a 30-day knowledge transfer period in your exit agreement to protect continuity on any in-flight work and provide incoming consultant context.
Brief your incoming consultant on what was done, what worked, and what did not before they started their own audit.
Proposals
