      SEO Review from Andrew Hardgrove

      Our company worked with Harris & Ward for many years before we decided to explore being acquired by a national fire protection company. Harris & Ward played an important role in helping us maximize the value of our business by positioning us as the go-to provider for our services in the local market. Our financials reflected that growth, but so did our presence on Google. We were even outranking the company looking to acquire us in our own market, which really impressed them during the acquisition process. I have nothing but positive things to say about the Harris & Ward team. They truly understand their industry, and the results they helped us achieve had a real impact on the value and visibility of our business. I would highly recommend them.

      Harris & Ward really helped to turn around our Orthodontic practice marketing. They not only rebuilt our website but actually came to our offices to shoot the videos and stills used for content. In addition, they successfully grew our organic search, managed our GBP and provided strategies for digital ad campaigns. Todd and his team are professional, responsive and very easy to work with. I would recommend this group to any business!

      Alyssa Rosen's Review Sourced from Google

      Do NOT recommend.I had my website set up through Traffick Digital for my side venture. Essentially, they set up the domain for me, and I did all of the work. Unfortunately, my relationship with Jesse ceased when my relationship with his friend ended, and I have been unable to access my site since.I have tried contacting him, but he blocked all contact. I have reached out through social media, phone, email, and even through his family members to see how I can transfer the domain. When I looked into it further, I got a message saying that it is not possible to update the domain without first contacting your registrar and requesting that they remove this status code. Since the registrar has ghosted me, I am left without many options unless I want things to get messy.I tried speaking with a LaunchPad representative, and they told me that a PIN was put on the account, and if I knew the PIN, I could get in to possibly remove that code. Of course, I do not know it. I am trying not to assume the worst, but at this time, this feels fraudulent, and I feel my business was essentially hijacked.I just want them to release my domain so my business can continue to grow, but unfortunately, I don't see that happening. The least I can do is save someone else from having to experience what I have experienced.

      The DBS team created our website in 2012 and just recently completed a refreshed design to incorporate our newest offerings. The team is very talented and great to work with. Mark’s great design and Jason's attention to detail, especially in responding to our feedback was much appreciated. Being able to communicate via an online meeting and explain the detailed changes we wanted, and have you say “Yep, I get it” - and you really did - was wonderful. The results proved that. The whole process went very smoothly, and the transition to live was amazingly smooth. The DBS team is a pleasure to work with and clearly their team that is a well-oiled machine. Happy to have such a great partner for presenting our digital face to the world!

      Kristin Adams's Review Sourced from Google

      I've been working with DBS for 2, going on 3 years, now and I can't praise them enough. I went into our first meeting with the intentions of learning what kind of new website they could build and for how much. What I’ve learned throughout our partnership is that they are so much more: They are the experts in their field. DBS takes the time to understand my specific business challenges and goals, so that they can create a customized solution that does so much more. I would summarize DBS as hard working, honest, professional, innovative, nimble, and overall magic workers. With very little guidance, DBS always executes awesomeness that makes me look better than I really am.

      I am the Owner of Unseen Fencing of Kentucky. We have been doing business with the Marketing Squad for a number of years. Late last year we felt the need to upgrade our website and met with the most talented group of professionals we feel in the business. They met with us several times to listen to our needs and dive deep into to our business. They really delivered. We did some video and the group told our story in a way that our customers are telling us when they call or email that they already know a lot about us. Any business needing a group to tell their story please contact the Marking Squad you won’t be sorry.

Frequently Asked Questions

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 CreatorInfluencer
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.
