Insite Advice was brought on by The Monolith Media to design and build our new website, while also spearheading our ongoing digital strategy and social media marketing initiatives.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

The new website launched successfully and has significantly elevated our online presence. Their ongoing digital strategy and social media marketing support has kept our campaigns optimized and our growth aligned with industry best practices.

Insite Advice's project management has been excellent. Communication is consistently smooth, deadlines are always met, and they respond to our needs proactively — bringing fresh ideas and optimizing campaigns rather than just executing tasks.

What impressed us most was how deeply they took the time to understand our brand identity and business objectives, translating our vision into a sleek, high-performing website. Beyond the initial build, their proactive approach — bringing fresh ideas, optimizing campaigns, and keeping our growth aligned with industry best practices — truly sets them apart.

No areas for improvement come to mind — the experience has been exceptional from day one, and the quality of their work and communication has consistently exceeded our expectations.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Insite Advice?

We worked with Insite Advice to help improve the SEO services we provide to our clients.

What were your goals for this project?

Our goal for the project was to increase my understanding and learn more cutting edge SEO techniques.

SOLUTION

How did you select Insite Advice?

Insite Advice was a referral from a mutual acquaintance.

Describe the scope of their work in detail.

I continue to meet with Alex on an ongoing basis. We discuss specific SEO technique, tools and tactics that are currently working in an ever changing industry.

What was the team composition?

I work closely with Alex, the CEO. I don't currently work personally with the team. From my understanding the team has very good communication, systems and collaboration.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

I am amazed by the success we have had while consulting with Alex. Alex loves to test and experiment with new cutting edge marketing and SEO tactics. He has a love of learning, teaching and always taking it to the next level.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

I cannot speak to this as the consulting service is between Alex and I, not our respective teams.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

Insite Advice is very focused on innovation and always improving their services. I find many digital marketing agencies get stuck and are not testing new tools and tactics. Alex pushes his team to always think in new progressive ways.

Are there any areas for improvement?

None that I can detect at this time.

We've worked with Insite Advice continuously for over eight years on SEO and our website for Mackler Associates, my ACT/SAT tutoring firm in St. Louis. They built our website and handle our ongoing SEO and website work — the site has grown into a real asset for the business over that time.
