      Web Design Review from Alex Choi

      We brought this agency in as a consultant during a major redesign initiative, and their impact was immediate. They provided clear best-practice guidance across UX, conversion strategy, and design systems helping us think beyond aesthetics and focus on structure, clarity, and performance. What stood out most was their ability to balance strategic insight with practical execution. They didn't just point out what could be improved; they offered thoughtful, actionable solutions. Throughout the process, they were collaborative, responsive, and consistently available to support our internal team. Whether it was refining layout hierarchy, improving user flows, or pressure-testing creative direction, they were a steady partner from start to finish. If you're looking for a team that combines strong design instincts with conversion-minded thinking and a consultative approach, Id highly recommend them.

      A True Game-Changer for My Business Working with Service Hawk has been one of the best decisions I’ve made for my business. Their team has gone above and beyond to help increase our exposure in the market and connect us with high-quality business leads — the kind that actually convert. From the beginning, they took the time to understand our goals and built a strategy that was the right fit, not just a one-size-fits-all approach. I’ve seen a noticeable difference in the visibility of our brand and the quality of opportunities coming through our pipeline. They’re professional, responsive, and genuinely care about your success — and that’s hard to find. If you're looking to grow your business with a partner you can trust, Service Hawk Pro is the real deal. Highly recommended!

      I had the pleasure of meeting with Jeff Swartz recently, and I couldn't be more impressed with Ethic’s level of professionalism and dedication to their clients. From the moment I reached out to them, I knew I was in good hands. What sets Ethic Advertising apart is their genuine willingness to listen and understand the unique needs of your business. They don't believe in one-size-fits-all solutions; instead, they take the time to customize their marketing strategies to perfectly fit your goals and objectives. I highly recommend Ethic Advertising for your marketing needs. Their stellar reputation is well-deserved, and I look forward to our partnership in the future.

      Greg Leach's Review Sourced from Google

      We talked to numerous marketing firms across the US and most were either inept or wouldn’t talk to us because we’re a startup. When I initially contacted Ethic, I was so used to having a bad experience with other marketing firms, I bluntly said “we’re a startup that needs a lot of help with brand recognition, but we’re on a very limited budget. Can you help?”. The owner Jeff said “let’s talk”. We spent the next hour discussing our business operation and different marketing strategies. We then had a follow up call in which Jeff came prepared with a full presentation and spent the afternoon explaining each line item step by step of how to execute our short term marketing goals. He did all this on his own time for nothing in return. We do not have an agreement in place and there's no guarantee of future business when working with a startup. I can't thank Jeff and the Ethic team enough. They will be our “go to” for all our future marketing needs but it's not because of the free time they gave us, but rather their level of expertise. Our company launched service in January 2023 and currently has 400 app downloads. I will give a follow up review in one year to showcase the value of this experience. If you’re looking for a high level marketing company contact Ethic.

      We've been working with Ethic for about a year and a half, using various forms of online advertising and strategy. They have been great partners - always quick to respond, thorough in their approach and knowledgeable in the ever changing digital ad space. Their ability to scale their services to fit our needs and budget has been extremely beneficial as well. We highly recommend Ethic to anyone looking for a quality digital partner.
