Public Relations Review from Anonymous
As a national wholesale distributor for a pharmaceutical skin care line, we focus largely on B2B lead nurturing and must rely primarily on the 5WPR team to support our consumer outreach. We have been clients of 5WPR for just over a year and the team has secured nearly 3 billion impressions. The publications include national books such as Vogue, NewBeauty, Elle, StyleCaster, Well + Good, Who What Wear, Harper's Bazaar, InStyle, and many more. One of our main goals was also to secure coverage in regional publications and media to help support our medspa clients. 5WPR aligned with our strategy and has secured a multitude of smaller market publications and broadcast segments which has helped increase exposure for our amazing medspa practices and lifted product and treatment sales. 5WPR is extremely proactive in seeking out influencers that are a fit for our skin care brand and technology. When Hailey Bieber touted one of our products in a social post, 5WPR was swift at media hijacking, leveraging on the publicity and securing millions more impressions. The 5WPR team also keeps our brand in the hands of many editors with industry-relevant and thought-provoking story coverage. Our award submissions are carefully considered and submitted on our behalf. We very much appreciate the training and education that the 5WPR team has committed to as our brand has a lot of science and technology. The team has adopted our philosophy on education and continues to learn and harness ingredient and skin science to present our brand to the media. We feel that the 5WPR team is an extension of our staff family. We feel supported and very comfortable reaching out with our needs anytime. 5WPR listens to our ideas and collaborates to institute strategies that hit measurable goals.

Content Marketing Review from Mckenzie Ycmat
I've worked with Siege since 2016, and there's a reason I've brought them with me to nearly every company I've joined since. I've partnered with a lot of agencies over the years, but Siege consistently stands out because they don't just execute SEO tactics, they become an extension of your team. They take the time to understand your business, collaborate across marketing, and build content strategies that actually drive measurable results. One of the things I appreciate most is how proactive they are. They bring ideas to the table, back recommendations with data, and genuinely care about long-term growth rather than chasing quick wins. The impact they've had on my career has been significant. At multiple companies, their work has helped us grow organic traffic, strengthen our content strategy, and prove the value of marketing initiatives. They're one of the few partners I've trusted enough to advocate for repeatedly, including making sure I could continue working with them after changing jobs. The fact that I've spent nearly a decade recommending Siege internally says everything. They're one of those rare agencies that consistently exceed expectations, and I'd recommend them without hesitation to any marketing team looking for a true strategic partner.

Working with Ombir Sharma at Linksfrog has been a great experience. We hired their team for SEO and backlink building, and the quality of the links and overall communication exceeded our expectations. Ombir was responsive, transparent throughout the process, and made sure every placement aligned with our SEO goals.
The backlinks came from relevant, high-quality websites, and we've already started seeing improvements in our search visibility and organic traffic. Everything was delivered on time, and the entire process was smooth from start to finish.
If you're looking for reliable SEO and link-building services, I highly recommend Ombir Sharma and the Linksfrog team. We'll definitely continue working with them on future projects.

SEO Review from Ganesh Kumar Anegondi
I've got to know about them from a referral. The founders are well versed with the latest practices and are hands on with everything seo. They understood the problem well and executed the project in a speedy manner.
We wanted to create a page each for every mutual fund distributor in India which is a very large list, 100k+ pages. They did well in creating the pages and then getting them indexed which is a big challange in itself. Just go blindly with them.
