      SEO Review from Donna Bliss

      I've worked with many agencies over the years, but Open Moves is the first company where I have complete confidence and trust that they are looking out for what is best for the business. They know as much, if not more than I do, about our business and provide intelligent, strategic guidance on all fronts: SEO, paid search, and paid social. They are constantly monitoring, analyzing, and optimizing our account--which honestly is very complex. I can rest better knowing they are handling the digital

      PPC Review from Tyler Kirkland

      We worked with Open Moves to design multiple PPC strategies in the US (we are an International Client). Unlike other agencies that provided out-of-the-box solutions, Open Moves took the time to understand our business and product and designed a customized strategy that allowed us to leverage our strengths. We have been extremely impressed with OM and their ability to iterate on the strategy as we have adjusted our goals. When it comes to PPC strategy and execution, OM gets a 10/10 on both.

They take the time to understand our business and our company in particular, even as it evolves, and they leverage their industry expertise to deliver results. We work closely together to analyze the metrics, dive deep into the leads being generated, explore what is working, and strategize on what needs to be adjusted. They always explain the rationale behind the advice and take time to answer questions.

      Jenny S's Review Sourced from Google

      Working with Straight North was an incredible experience from start to finish! When I started looking for web designers, I narrowed it down to four companies, and Straight North was the only one who really took the time to get to know me, our business, and why our goals matter. That personal connection made all the difference. Once we got started, I was blown away by the thought and detail that went into every part of the process. What stood out the most was how open and receptive the team was to my feedback. I truly felt like a part of the process, not just another customer. Our new website is absolutely stunning and perfectly captures who we are and what our brand stands for. I couldn’t be happier with the finished website or with the experience of working with Straight North. Building a great website is truly a collaborative effort, and I’ve learned that the more you put in, the more you get out. I encourage anyone working with Straight North, or any design team to be open, share your vision, and really take the time to engage in the process. The result will be worth it, I promise! Thank you, Straight North, for an amazing experience and a website that we’re so proud of!
