Web Design Review from Chris Palliser
I work with Shift (Solar & Energy Storage Installer) and I had a great experience working with Major Tom on our brand refresh and new website. Their team is knowledgable, thoughtful, supportive, and I feel they personally and genuinely want us to succeed as a business. Shout out to Nathalie! They made me feel like a priority during any request, and delivered a polished functional design and UX that feels both national and locally grounded, exactly what we asked for. Communication was strong throughout, and they were quick to find solutions when challenges came up, as they inevitably do. Thank you, Major Tom! Highly Recommend!
Digital Advertising Review from Tim Thatcher
I've worked with Major Tom for just over 10 years in varying capacities across their Paid Media and Social Media teams. I've always enjoyed very positive working relationships, and they have offered great value and strategic guidance to media campaigns. They always add valuable insights into the data and make recommendations to improve overall strategy. It's always felt like a strong strategic partnership and they seem to have a positive working culture. Would highly recommend them as a media partner.

Direct Marketing Review from Daniel Tashnek
We hired Spot On just as we were starting to pivot to a direct-to-market sales model in a crowded field. Our software was much more comprehensive and feature-rich than the competition, but we were still worried that we would get drowned out by established products. As Spot On has helped us become more prominent in our niche, we have seen significantly more organic customer leads coming into our website.
Digital Marketing Review from Jake Behnke
I never felt like our company wasn’t a priority when I worked with Spot On in the past. And now at Cureatr, I was a marketing team of one until October 2018. So, from the beginning I knew I wanted to work with an agency that felt like an extension of the company and worked more as a partner than simply as a vendor. I needed a team I knew would be attentive, available, and dependable; and above all else, a team that I could count on to move quickly and deliver results. People who don't work in marketing often expect that you can bring in a marketing manager and agency and immediately see overnight results, which is never the case. Spot On did a great job of executing on strategy, and we're now seeing those results: increased traffic, conversion rates, and sales qualified leads.
Direct Marketing Review from Elise Paul
Spot On's insight, ideas, and dedication to helping our business grow have really made a difference. They have especially helped produce exceptional content that resonates with our target audience, which is notable as finding good, niche healthcare writers is difficult.

Digital Marketing Review from Rebecca Zeni
I had a great experience working with Kim at Motion PR. I am a small business so she was able to tailor her expertise to my needs. I would highly recommend her.
Digital Marketing Review from Paul Litardo
Motion PR has a great staff and a great leader in Kim Eberl. My experience the past several months have been great. I recommend Motion PR to everyone.
Digital Marketing Review from Rita Dragonette
I've had the pleasure of working with Motion as both colleague and client. As a colleague I was referred to them for a number of my CEO clients. The high-level coverage they were able to secure was very instrumental in significantly raising the profile of those clients and helping them attract the opportunities they were after. As a client, Motion was able to quickly and innovatively operationalize a successful social giving program to fund a scholarship I started as part of the launch for my new novel. The response was terrific for book awareness and quickly became fully funded. The agency is highly responsive, the staff skilled and engaging. Terrific client service.

My company Weed Man of Vienna used this company for mailing services this past spring. We received terrible service that was riddled with errors. To make matters worse they lost my payment. When I sent another they cashed both payments and are now refusing to send me back what is owed to me.

Ariel Dubov's Review Sourced from Google
I highly recommend avoiding this company. Fusion92 recently absorbed the company I contracted, Conversion Fanatics. CF was hired to increase our conversion rate. After many months of "testing", and a lot of $$ later, they actually decreased our CVR substantially. I'm deeply unsatisfied with how they left my website -- it was teeming with glitches and errors that are considered low hanging fruit for a typical UX company. Go with a different company!

Jill Marshall Gould's Review Sourced from Google
I was very excited to find a Rochester agency that could build my brand and website when starting my company. I had met with a number of different website developers, graphic designers, programmers from all over the world. As a solo entrepreneur, I would have been managing 2-3 people to build out the branding and website. Instead, Brandmint’s team worked to build the brand and I only had to manage/communicate my vision to them. They are an agency that I can grow into their full suite of services. It saves me time having a one stop shop. The Brandmint team is an incredible local asset and I am excited to work with them on future projects.

I was introduced to LGG Media via Hyros. Jason took his time to help me better understand our Google/Meta strategies despite the fact we are too small to onboard with them at this moment. Jason demonstrated lots of digital marketing expertise and generosity within the short call we had. I look forward to working with LGG once we reach a higher sales threshold on Shopify.

Juan and Jason have been amazing to work with. They have advanced, scalable frameworks that they break down in a way that’s easy to understand. Their in-house development team gives them a huge edge over every competitor in the market. The way they use tools like Hyros to their full capability and build conversion and bidding into their tracking architecture is world-class. I’m very impressed with their knowledge, insight, and professionalism. If you’re a business looking for a growth partner, these are the guys.

A social media marketing company can help you turn audience engagement into brand awareness, qualified leads, sales, and customer loyalty.
They achieve this by developing data-backed strategies, producing brand-aligned, channel-optimized content, practicing social listening, and actively managing social media communities.
Social media marketing agencies can also help you expand brand reach and establish credibility through strategic partnerships with relevant influencers and creators.
All of these can result in measurable business value.
According to the Rise at Seven study, YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram collectively account for 60% of commercial intent keywords, whereas Google only captures 34.5%.
This data highlights that customers are increasingly turning to social media to search for products and brands.
SproutSocial also found that 81% of consumers are compelled to make multiple purchases a year due to social media. Additionally, 73% are more likely to buy from a competitor if a brand does not reply to their social media messages.
Social media marketing costs start at $5,000 for small businesses implementing a single-platform social media strategy. However, prices can exceed $20,000 for a global multi-platform campaign with paid ad strategies.
The actual cost of social media services will depend on your goals, content type and volume, target platforms, and campaign complexity.
For instance, a social SEO strategy generally costs less than an influencer campaign due to talent fee considerations.
However, social media marketing companies often package their services for a more comprehensive offering. Below are approximate prices:
| Average Hourly Rates | Monthly Retainer | |
| Boutique agencies | $100-$125 | $5,000-$10,000 |
| Mid-sized agencies | $125-$175 | $10,000-$20,000 |
| Enterprise/global agencies | $175-$200+ | $20,000-$100,000+ |
Follow these steps to choose a social media marketing agency that is experienced, reliable, and the right fit for your business:
Before hiring a social media marketing agency, ask these questions to assess its experience, process, and fit for your goals, audience, and target platforms:
Watch for these red flags when evaluating a social media marketing agency. They may signal a poor fit, weak execution, or practices that could damage your brand reputation over time.
Rated 4.8 on Google and 4.7 on Trustpilot, DesignRush Agency Directory is a reliable resource for finding social media marketing agencies. We owe this to our executive selection team, which follows a strict screening process when featuring agencies on the platform, assessing key performance indicators, like portfolio, client reviews, and industry reputation.
DesignRush sustains a directory of over 40,000 agencies categorized by service category, location, expertise, and reviews. We build our database in two ways:

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:
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.
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.
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 |

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:
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.
We have curated a list of top social media companies on DesignRush across multiple price points, so you can identify a vendor within your budget.
