Web Design Review from Christopher Calarco, D.C.
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.

6 Frequently Asked Questions About Social Media Marketing Companies
What services do social media marketing companies provide?
Social media marketing companies provide a comprehensive range of services that span strategy development, content creation, and optimization. Here are some of their core services:
Social media strategy
Content creation
Paid social
Community management
Influencer marketing
Analytics and reporting
Some companies also offer broader digital marketing services, including search engine optimization (SEO), paid media, email marketing, video marketing, public relations (PR), and landing page optimization.
What social media channels should your business prioritize?
For business-to-business (B2B) organizations, LinkedIn is often a top priority, while X may also be useful, depending on your industry and whether real-time conversations matter to your brand.
For business-to-consumer (B2C) brands targeting younger consumers, YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok are often stronger options.
According to the Pew Research Center, 95% of 18-29-year-olds use YouTube, followed by Instagram at 80% and TikTok at 63%.
A reputable social media marketing company should recommend a channel mix based on your goals, target audience behavior, and the type of content you can produce consistently.
When should you partner with a content creator vs. an influencer?
Partner with a content creator for asset creation. Conversely, choose an influencer for the audience. Here are more details about the differences between each to help you with your decision:
Content Creator
Influencer
Who are they?
Experts in their specific field who create engaging and educational content for a specific topic, niche, or format
Individuals with an established audience who can shape opinions and promote brands, products, or ideas
Content examples
Explanatory videos
Blogs and articles
Tutorials
Branded visuals
Product reviews
Unboxing videos
Sponsored posts
Social media giveaways
Best for
Building brand credibility in a niche
Filling content gaps through reusable assets (video, blogs, and graphics)
Quickly expanding brand reach
Developing trust with a target audience
Producing promotional organic content
How to measure the ROI of your social media efforts?
To measure the return on investment of your social media efforts, first clarify the business outcome you want to achieve with your social media campaign. For example, generating leads, sales, or demo requests.
Next, track key performance indicators (KPIs) tied to that goal, such as engagement rate, click-through rate, conversion rate, cost per lead, and return on ad spend (ROAS). Use attribution models, analytics tools, and UTM parameters to connect social activities to business results.
Industry benchmarks can provide helpful context, but they vary by platform, industry, and methodology. Here are benchmarks from an Emplifi research report to help you gauge campaign performance:
Instagram
Median engagement rate: 16.9%
Cost per mille (CPM): ~$2.50, with ad spend per account reaching $5,100
Facebook
Median engagement rate: 1.4%-2.5%
CPM: ~$1.40-$1.70, with ad spend per account reaching $8,500-$11,200
TikTok
Median engagement rate: 27.6%
CPM: ~$1.00-$1.30, with ad spend per account reaching $14,900
How long until you see the results of your social media marketing campaigns?
Paid social campaigns generate results within a few days or weeks, but organic social media may take at least 3 months.
For organic social media, you might see initial follower growth and engagement within the first few weeks of regular posting. After 1-3 months, your account may gain traction as content performance improves, and audience engagement becomes more consistent.
By months 3-6, you may start producing qualified leads, stronger brand recall, and sales impact, especially for newer brands that are still building and refining their strategies.
Paid media campaigns, by contrast, can generate visibility, traffic, and conversions within days or weeks, but long-term performance will depend on creative quality, targeting, budget, and optimization efforts.
Ultimately, the time required to see meaningful results depends on your brand awareness, content quality, posting consistency, audience targeting, offer strength, and your broader marketing strategy.
