The most responsive SEO company that I have ever worked with—especially Brandi P and Mike A. We were completely dissatisfied with our current company and contacted Smartsites after doing an online search.  From the very beginning, they made the transition as easy as it possibly could be.  Unlike our old company, Brandi and Mike are super responsive and thorough.  From the beginning, they had analyzed our needs and developed a roadmap for us to reach the goals that we had related. During the transition, the old company was less than helpful and Brandi went so completely above and beyond to help us get sorted that it makes my head spin.  I look forward to working with these folks in the future and feel like they will be a great help to our company.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

Our measurable goals with SmartSites centered on achieving a 500% ROAS across Google and Meta campaigns while scaling monthly revenue growth. Since onboarding SmartSites, Darius has provided detailed optimization roadmaps and data-driven recommendations that have helped us improve campaign efficiency, refine targeting, and identify high-performing audiences.

We’ve seen steady progress toward our ROAS target, along with clear recommendations to increase monthly budgets strategically to capture incremental revenue opportunities during key promotional periods. Their reporting and proactive adjustments have made a measurable impact on both short-term results and long-term paid media strategy.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

Project Management & Responsiveness

SmartSites’ project management has been reliable, transparent, and on time. Darius set a clear cadence of weekly updates with mid-week check-ins for priority changes, and he consistently delivered campaign launches, tests, and reports by the agreed timelines. He responded to our needs extremely well—proactively clarifying goals, adjusting budgets and targeting as conditions changed, and documenting next steps.

What stood out most was the custom tracking he built for us: a tailored budget-increase vs. ROAS & cost spreadsheet that rolls up performance across Google and Meta. This tool gives us channel-level visibility into spend, CPA, ROAS, and the projected revenue impact of budget changes—making decisions faster and more data-driven.

Communication has been respectful, thorough, and easy to follow. Darius answers questions in detail, provides rationale behind recommendations, and flags risks early with clear options. Overall, delivery has been timely, organized, and highly responsive to our requests.

What was your primary form of communication with SmartSites?

Email or Messaging App

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

What impresses me most is their attention to detail, organization, and deep understanding of optimization strategy. Even though we hired them primarily for PPC management, their broader marketing expertise really stood out. The team often referenced strong website UX/UI examples and shared insights from case studies on ad performance improvements, which showed how thoroughly they approach campaign design and conversion strategy.

Darius, in particular, brings a level of precision and structure that’s rare—every report, recommendation, and test plan is clearly thought through and well-documented. Their blend of analytical rigor and creative insight makes SmartSites a truly well-rounded digital partner.

Are there any areas for improvement or something SmartSites could have done differently?

SmartSites has been a great partner overall, but one area for improvement would be having more in-person or video meetings to strengthen collaboration and build rapport with our internal team. This would help deepen alignment on goals and cross-functional updates.

Additionally, while their analytical and PPC expertise is excellent, greater integration with our brand’s visual and creative direction would make campaign execution even stronger. A bit more collaboration on creative guidance and brand tone could further elevate the synergy between performance data and visual storytelling.
