RJ Rodriguez's Review Sourced from Google
*UPDATE*
2/25: I received a voicemail from Gary this morning. This was the first time ever I’ve been reached out to by this company. Its odd how a bad review will spring someone to action! Gary’s voicemail didn’t apologize for dropping the ball. He acted like I had requested a call minutes before! Either way, if he was aware of this fiasco or not- the fact that their process is unorganized and delayed (at the very least) should not be common practice. Since I made my decision last night not to partner with Tallwave- I will NOT be reaching back out. So any response to this review stating that they called me (after the fact!) is irrelevant.
2/24: I reached out through their online email platform through their website over a week ago and they never called me. I followed up twice this week and still no correspondence. My email and phone number that I provided is correct. No hard feelings on my part- I'm moving on but if they can't reach out to a prospect within a week then naturally I question the quality of their advertised services. In my opinion, I should have at least been given a call back within 24 hours.... even if its a generic call to schedule something in the future, I would be satisficed. Zero stars if possible....This is not how I choose to run my business so I see it as dodging a bullet!

Beautiful building and office. Kind people with alot of knowledge. The office is very easy to find. I had the pleasure of meeting Jarod Bailey a tech entrepreneur with a strong foundation in biz development. He's somewhat of a legend in my book and a master builder. Great place to rub shoulders with brilliant minds. Loved my experience there.

this is my 2 cents:
*1- still waiting, proposal it takes forever to get delivered 14 days at least or more.
*2- you have to pay them to pitch your idea, they explain, 1st meeting is introduction, the 2nd meeting where you explain your idea its the workshop that you have to pay $$ for. how is that even realistic.
*3- being sick is not an excuse to delay work and that what they do.
*4- you are lucky if you get straight answer with them.
*5- no one answers the phone. excuse (we are moving, new office)
i don't get it. i contacted 3 people on that office no one was answering i'm very sure they hire movers to move stuff they don't do the labor.
**** excuses it could be all true. but delays and paying to explain what service you need is not acceptable***

A great agency to work with! Lily and Christina were so insightful and supportive in getting our Google Ads and LinkedIn Ads set up and optimized. Their expertise helped us double our clicks and CTR (click through rate) of ads and reduced our CPC (cost per click) by half. Would highly recommend them to any business looking to establish or improve their PPC advertising efforts!

Lagua Digital did a good job on my business cards and catalogues for my business. They even corrected and improved the files I gave them at no extra charge. Very professional and nice customer service. Finally found a graphic & print place to depend on.

I recently worked with Laguna Digital for a complete print-marketing project, and I couldn’t be more impressed! From start to finish the team was professional, responsive and clearly experts in what they do. They helped me select the right materials, gave thoughtful design suggestions, and the finished prints turned out vibrant, crisp and exactly what I had hoped for.

I recently brought some of my old watercolor paintings to Laguna Digital Printing, and I couldn’t believe how beautifully they turned out! Their team scanned and reprinted them with incredible color accuracy — even the tiny brush details looked perfect. The staff was super friendly and really cared about preserving my work. I’m so happy I trusted them with my art!

7 Frequently Asked Questions About SEO Services USA
When should you hire large SEO agencies in the US and when specialized firms?
Hire large US SEO agencies when you need multiple capabilities under one roof, such as technical SEO, content development, PR, and paid media. Hire specialized firms when SEO is your main growth channel, and you have defined needs, such as eCommerce optimization. Specialized SEO companies in the USA provide direct access to senior marketers and offer in-depth expertise in a vertical or region. As such, it best suits businesses that rely on organic search as their primary customer acquisition channel.
Searchbloom breaks down the most common specialized SEO agencies in the USA:
Local and multi-location SEO companies in the US focus on fine-tuning location data, reviews, and optimizing Google Business Profiles.
National SEO agencies prioritize content strategy, internal linking, and link building initiatives.
eCommerce SEO firms manage catalogs, feeds, schema, faceted navigation, and parameterized URLs.
What should you look for to ensure the agency is not selling outdated SEO services?
Ask about its specific infrastructure for large language models (LLMs) and real human experiences. Agencies that reply with "exact-match keyword density" and standard text-based blogs are using obsolete playbooks that damage your ranking.
Here is what separates modern SEO services from outdated ones:
Modern SEO practices:
Topic authority and content depth
Earning editorial backlinks
Core Web Vitals and technical health
AI search visibility (AEO/GEO)
Search intent matching
Outdated SEO practices:
Thin pages with high keyword density
Buying links or using private blog networks (PBNs)
Ignoring page experience signals
Optimizing for Google only
Ranking for high-volume vanity keywords
How do you audit the USA SEO company's strategy to verify its legitimacy?
You should review its white-hat strategies, link-building practices, and account recovery process by requesting live and documented samples of client work from the past 90 days.
Legitimate companies will be able to provide these items as proof of their expertise instead of relying solely on their proposals or hiding behind the “proprietary methodology” answer.
What should a USA SEO service proposal include?
A USA SEO service proposal should include the following elements:
A baseline audit
Defined monthly deliverables and KPIs
Named team members
A reporting model
Contract terms
It should also explicitly state what work is out of scope and the specific triggers for additional billing.
How long should you realistically wait before expecting measurable results?
On average, you can expect initial results within 3-6 months, such as cleaner indexation, stronger crawl signals, and improved long-tail visibility. Within 6-12 months, SEO momentum builds for more sustained results, including movement on priority terms, more qualified traffic, and stronger conversion performance.
After the first year: Exponential growth and stable revenue tied to traditional and AI search
How much output do SEO services in the USA deliver in a month?
SEO services in the USA deliver 10-15 hours of work per month for basic packages,15-25 hours for standard work, and 25-60+ hours for more advanced strategies.
As described by Funnel Boost Media, how the overall output is dispersed depends on the service tiers and the defined SEO strategy:
Basic SEO: 10-15 hours of work per month, covering technical SEO, a light content plan, a site audit, minimal outreach, and baseline SEO reporting.
Standard SEO: 15-25 hours per month, covering ongoing technical SEO, copywriting, recurring SEO audits, and link building outreach.
Advanced SEO: 25-60 hours per month, including in-depth audits, extensive content creation (20-30 pages per month), intensified link building, ongoing technical SEO maintenance, and performance monitoring.
At what point should you fire the USA SEO company versus giving them more time?
Look for another SEO company when the current one has not presented tangible results after 6 months and shows constant behavioral problems.
Give the agency more time if you are in the first 6 months of your engagement, deliverables are completed on schedule, and the agency proactively flags issues and adjusts strategies accordingly.
