TEN DAYS went by before tour account manager Diondra responded, and even then, they refused to revert their catastrophic changes.No new social ads were created, and let’s not even talk about the “creatives” we paid for—because none of them were delivered. Not even a single concept! It’s absurd to find out that Thrive apparently has ONE person trying to handle all this work. Seriously? One person for all social media responsibilities? How is that remotely professional or acceptable?The moment they got paid, it feels like they all went on vacation with our money, leaving us with a broken ad strategy and lost opportunities on black Friday and cyber monday. Thrive’s negligence, incompetence, and lack of accountability are beyond infuriating. This was a complete betrayal of trust, a complete waste of money and a scam

**RESULTS & FEEDBACK**
What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?An absolute nightmare. Thrive completely ruined our existing Google Ads campaigns, failed to submit the creatives we paid for, and didn’t even bother to create any social media ads. The moment they got paid, they vanished without a trace.The only thing we received was an Excel sheet from the SEO guy in November—and honestly, he’s the only one who actually delivered anything. The rest of the team disappeared, leaving us with nothing but wasted time, money, and frustration.Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?They took our money and delivered absolutely nothing except an excel sheet from SEO. What was your primary form of communication with Thrive Internet Marketing Agency?Virtual MeetingEmail or Messaging AppWhat did you find most impressive or unique about this company?I strongly advise others to stay far away from this company. If you choose to take the risk and fall for their scam, do not, under any circumstances, give them your account number or routing information. Only make payments using a debit card. They are obsessed with getting access to your account and will continue billing you for work they didn’t do. Please don’t make the same mistake we did.Are there any areas for improvement or something Thrive Internet Marketing Agency could have done differently?Everything about this company is a disaster. The guy I spoke to, whose name is Kevin, seemed nice at first, but once you’re in and you’ve paid, the company turns into a complete circus.

Our main objective with this partnership is to increase brand awareness for us in order to help increase consideration for our services.

Thrive's project management is top notch. For our specific project, the KPIs are not as cut and dry as other SEO campaigns. Given the niche service we offer and what we are trying to gain from SEO efforts, we have been keeping an open mind of what success looks like. In terms of increased traffic and form submissions, the partnership has been a success.

**Feedback Summary**: The client's lead quality and organic site traffic have increased and their CPC has been reduced by 50%. The client is pleased with the 8% conversion rate of their ads. Thrive Internet Marketing Agency is dedicated, transparent, and communicative; they email regularly and meet bimonthly on Zoom.
""They really care about the quality of the work that they’re putting out.""

**BACKGROUND**
Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the operations lead at a custom software development company. We develop mobile apps and websites for other businesses and entrepreneurs. I manage our marketing and client accounts.

 

 

**OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE**
What challenge were you trying to address with Thrive Internet Marketing Agency?

When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, there was a lull in the number of investors in software development. When things started to pick back up again, we wanted to make sure we were reaching the right customers. Our leads were all over the gamut, and we needed help optimizing our website, SEO, and content to ensure we were reaching an audience that was a good fit for our company.

 

 

**SOLUTION**
What was the scope of their involvement?

We first discussed the problems we faced with a Thrive Internet Marketing Agency sales representative. We filled out an intake form describing our existing client base and our desired future client base. They researched and came back to us to discuss targeted keywords for different projects and development languages. 

Then, they connected us with an account manager. We gave them access to our website and analytics. From there, they began cleaning our indexing, publishing content, and optimizing SEO. They’ve helped us optimize our landing pages and are now working on the navigation menu. They continue to chip away at optimizing the content on our different pages.

Thrive Internet Marketing Agency has also provided Google Ads support. We’ve gone through another intake process to show them our existing ads. They’ve A/B tested our ads and continue to optimize them. They’ve written ad copy themselves.

What is the team composition?

Our main contact is Marizanne (Senior Account Manager), and we also work with SEO and PPC specialists. We’ve also worked with a sales representative and an onboarding specialist to ensure that their team had access to the accounts they needed and that we were taken care of.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent around $50,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in the winter of 2021, and our engagement is ongoing.

How did you come to work with Thrive Internet Marketing Agency?

We found them on Clutch after researching SEO agencies. We’d been working with a prior company that got bought out and transitioned us to a new account manager; we didn’t feel like we were getting the same level of service, so we stepped away from that agency. 

When I came across Thrive Internet Marketing Agency, it seemed like they would be a good fit for us. I was able to share with them that we felt we were missing touchpoints in our last relationship.

**RESULTS & FEEDBACK**
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

What’s most important to us is that the quality of our leads has been so much better since we started working with Thrive Internet Marketing Agency. We used to sift through a ton of spam of contacts who weren’t ready to hire a custom software development shop; now, we’re getting leads that are much more likely to convert.

Our organic site traffic has increased significantly; we’re also getting more clicks and impressions. Our keyword rankings are also improving. There was a big jump in rankings at the start of the project, and now we move up 4–5 positions each month. The cost per conversion (CPC) is about half of what we paid for prior ads we’ve run. Within the first month of receiving Thrive Internet Marketing Agency’s PPC support, our ads have an 8% click-through rate, which is really good.

How did the company perform from a project management standpoint?

Our account manager has been incredible. Marizanne is really communicative and available. She’s good at communicating timeframes. For example, if we’re expecting certain flags to come out, she’ll let us know if they’re going to take longer or if they’re ready sooner. She’s also been transparent and helpful in explaining some of the reasoning behind their SEO and PPC strategies. 

We mostly communicate through email and have bimonthly check-ins via Zoom. There’s also a dashboard where we can see most of the analytics. The budget has been great; that’s been a non-issue.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They really care about the quality of the work that they’re putting out; they want it to have a long-term impact on SEO and the client’s business. Some agencies will just put up blogs with a bunch of keywords, but Thrive Internet Marketing Agency has focused on the structure and indexing of the pages. This has created a lasting impact on our site that I know will remain, even if we part ways at some point in the future. They’ve done a really great job.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, honestly.

Do you have any advice for future clients of theirs?

Don’t be afraid to ask questions. Also, take the time to evaluate your business and desired customer base; this will help Thrive Internet Marketing Agency get you in front of the right audience.

**The Review** — Feb 26, 2023

**Feedback Summary**: After six months of working together, Thrive Internet Marketing Agency wasn't able to fully optimize the client's website. None of the keywords ranked in the top 10, and the visibility score dropped by more than 50%. In addition, the client only reached the targeted ROI of 50% for two months. 
""Never once did they take accountability for their poor performance.""

**BACKGROUND**
Please describe your company and your position there.I am the CEO of a charter boat company.

**OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE**
For what projects/services did your company hire Thrive Internet Marketing Agency, and what were your goals?We hired Thrive to help with SEO and PPC. We wanted to increase or SERP while maintaining all of her current top ten key words. Additionally, we wanted our PPC campaigns to earn a minimum of 50% ROI.

**SOLUTION**
How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?We interviewed 4 companies that were ranked in the top 10 at the time for SEO and PPC. Thrive's proposal and strategy seemed to be the best. Even though the costs were at the higher end.Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and campaigns.In the beginning they requested all of the key words that we determined that were important, some what important and lease important. Our website was optimized and there were Google Ad campaigns built. After 6 months, Thrive determined that they couldn't fully optimize my website. I tried to integrated my booking service provider and Thrive to build a website that would work for both agencies. All seemed well, until Thrive stated that Google Algorithms were affecting my SERP, while my competitors SERP remained consistent.How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?They had an account manager, an SEO specialist and a PPC specialist I worked with regularly.

**RESULTS & FEEDBACK**
Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?We’ve lost all of our top 10 key words that we deemed important and did not want to lose.Zero (0) top ten priority key words were gained.Our visibility score has dropped more than 50% from its peak.After of year with Thrive our SEO performance was significantly worse that when we started.Of the six months of PPC services only two months did we reach our targeted ROI of 50%.Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.Monthly meetings were held, but the SEO manager microphone rarely worked. It was consistently the same story monthly, Google algorithm is preventing growth, the new website was consistently blamed, but the only solution was give it time. Six months after the launch of the new website, we should have seen an upward trend, but we continued to freefall. I struggled every month to get access to blogs for review.What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?I found that the reviews don't support reality.Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?Lots of bait and switch. Never once did they take accountability for their poor performance.

**The Review** — Jan 6, 2023

**Feedback Summary**: The client was highly unsatisfied with their experience with Thrive Internet Marketing Agency and felt the team was either dishonest, or incompetent about the work being completed, didn’t follow through on what was promised, and was unwilling to listen to input and feedback during the engagement. This review includes the service provider's rsponse.
"“We expected A certain level of honesty and competency out of the engagement, and we feel like we didn’t get that.”"

**BACKGROUND**
Introduce your business and what you do there.I’m the owner of a tree services company. 

**OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE**
What challenge were you trying to address with Thrive Internet Marketing Agency?Our company’s SEO results were tanking, and we were looking to hire an agency to turn that around. Our company needed someone to change things quickly, so we hired Thrive for SEO and PPC services.

**SOLUTION**
What was the scope of their involvement?They were supposed to perform SEO and PPC services. What is the team composition?We worked with Claire (Account Manager), Steven (SEO Specialist), Matt (President & Founder), Gavin (PPC Strategist), and another sales representative. There were also a few other people that were in the initial meeting. How did you come to work with Thrive Internet Marketing Agency?We did due diligence and looked at a lot of companies. After talking to the sales representative at Thrive, we were comfortable with how their pricing and hours were set up. We also decided to move forward with them because they told us they could front-load all of the work and put in more hours upfront to rework our website and internal linking structure. How much have you invested with them?We spent around $24,500.What is the status of this engagement?We worked with them between February–August 2022.

**RESULTS & FEEDBACK**
How did your relationship with the vendor evolve?Our first Zoom call had between 6–8 people, which was worrisome on our end because of the pricing structure. We believed we were paying for all of their time and knew we would never see half of them again, but we decided to move forward because we wanted to solve our problems. We had a few calls with Claire and Steven and started to get a bad feeling about the engagement.We asked a few questions about what was happening on their end, and they seemed not to have any accurate information, which was another sign that something was wrong. We had monthly meetings with Steven and Claire, and every single month, it seemed like no progress was made even though they were telling us that things were being done.By roughly the fourth month, we only had one blog post, and we had spent around $20,000 at that point. We offered to buy more time and raise the price, and they said that wasn’t what they needed from us. Our business is very seasonal, and the employees at Thrive were trying to convince us that an uptick in business during our traditionally busier months was from their work, which we knew wasn’t right. There was no difference in business from year to year, just from month to month, because it was the season that people needed us.Because of the confusion of deliverables for blog posts, we emailed Matt, who’s  assistant called us and offered us 50% off for a month.  We accepted it but still header extremely uneasy feeling.Thrive wouldn’t listen to our input and what we were trying to tell them. They also made promises listing our company in full on Yext, which they never did. We had to spend money to restart our Yext account when that should have been included in their services, because they said they were doing it.When we finally went to them and asked for hard metrics and how many links they had garnered for the money we’d spent, they sent us a spreadsheet which perhaps inadvertently contained the “first seen” column indicating that roughly  95% of the +/- 225 links had been established before we signed up to work with Thrive.  In other words they were trying to take credit for links that were in existence before we started working with them.Our prior concerns over 5 months were finally confirmed, and we felt so disheartened about the lost time and revenue.  We emailed the CEO Matt at that point, and asked for some money back, and they flat out refused.Describe the impact this engagement has had on your business.We were told that at least seven blog posts were being worked on, but we only saw three after five months of working together. The whole experience was so entirely unpleasant that we can’t come up with a single good thing about working with them. It feels like we’ve been stolen from.We would have been willing to pay twice the amount we paid if they had just given us anything that signified the engagement was working. We expected honesty and technical competency out of the engagement, and we feel like we didn’t get that.The amount of time lost has been huge and likely cost our company well over $500,000.How was project management handled?We communicated via Zoom, phone calls, and Google Meet.What advice do you have for clients with similar needs to yours?If you care about the success of your business, don’t hand its online marketing to Thrive. We wouldn’t ever recommend them.

**Company Response**
The service provider responded on February 27, 2023.We apologize that you aren’t completely satisfied with our services and we appreciate your feedback. In late September, we did a thorough review of your account and found that we had executed our strategy as planned and helped improve your site load time, core web vitals and keyword rankings for high-value, non-branded terms related to your industry. We then sent you a 1,400+ word email on Oct. 4 outlining – in detail – all the work we did on your account. In the email, we included four comprehensive reports that outlined our work/time spent on link building, keyword rankings, SEO and Yext. The comprehensive email listed everything we did between May and August and included a combined 56 bullet points that clearly showed we had a plan in place and were executing it. We told you on a call that based on our findings, we would not issue any refund and we stood by our work. We also encouraged you to review the email and reports we sent you and pushed you to set up another call with us to go over it. SEO is a long-term investment. Unfortunately, work today doesn’t always mean results tomorrow. If you have any more questions or concerns, we would be more than happy to discuss your situation further. Feel free to call me at 817-642-9686. – Josh Gazelka, Thrive Director of Account Management

#### SEO & PPC for Painting Contractor

**The Review** — Aug 24, 2022

**Feedback Summary**: The SEO and PPC efforts by Thrive Internet Marketing Agency have increased the client's site traffic and grown leads by 45%; incoming leads are 75% more qualified. They've improved the site's UX, which has led to users spending 200% more time on the site. The team is transparent and meets via Zoom.
"“Thrive has, 100%, without a doubt, made me believe in SEO again.”"

**BACKGROUND**
Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m a director for a nationwide B2B painting contractor.

**OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE**
What challenge were you trying to address with Thrive Internet Marketing Agency? 

We were looking for a partner who could help us produce videos and manage advertising for our YouTube channel.

**SOLUTION**
What was the scope of their involvement?

Initially, we wanted to engage a partner to help with our YouTube channel. However, the partnership evolved once we started talking to Thrive about SEO. During our introductory call with Blake (Marketing Consultant), it was evident that he knew his stuff. Blake helped us determine that YouTube marketing wasn’t the right avenue to spend our budget. 

We talked about local SEO, and Blake explained how their team could help with our SEO strategy. Then, Blake introduced us to another team member who was well-versed in SEO and facilitated a call where they explained their local SEO methods. 

After the call, we went back and did our research to ensure their SEO met the standards they claimed, which it did. They came up at the top of search results, which impressed us, so I got back in touch with Blake and asked them to help. 

Then, they developed SEO, PPC, and content strategies that they shared with us. The team helped us determine that we should hold on increasing our social media advertising efforts, so we’ve been focusing exclusively on SEO and PPC with Thrive. I’ve been doing SEO and PPC for our company for about 20 years, so I had a pretty good idea of which keywords to pursue. 

After advising the team on which keywords we did and didn’t want to pursue, and supplying them with a list of “maybe” words, Thrive conducted more keyword research on their own. They also assessed our website, which had a lot of blogs and overall content, which they’ve helped us improve.

With Thrive’s help, we’ve dramatically revamped our content and are on our fifth website redesign. They’ve rewritten some of our existing content to make it more appealing to search engines. They’ve also helped us develop content for location-specific SEO so that nationwide users can find us more easily.  

Regarding our website, they’ve helped us revamp the layout by creating a new WordPress template and revising our web pages to incorporate the new design and improve the UX. 

What is the team composition?

Aside from Blake, we’ve worked with a project manager, a PPC manager, and an SEO manager at Thrive.

How did you come to work with Thrive Internet Marketing Agency?

I found Thrive online and reached out to Blake, who was very knowledgeable, professional, and friendly. 

How much have you invested with them?

We invest approximately $100,000–$200,000 in their services annually. 

What is the status of this engagement?

We began working with Thrive in June 2021, and the partnership is ongoing.

**RESULTS & FEEDBACK**
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? 

Thrive has delivered some excellent results, and our site traffic has undoubtedly increased. Since working with them, we’ve seen a 40%–50% uptick in leads, and our leads have been 70%–75% more relevant. 

We worked with another SEO company before Thrive; our bounce rate was at 35%, but it’s gone down significantly since our partnership began, which has been key. Our website also flows much better, and users spend 200% more time on our site than before. They’ve helped us boost user engagement; now, users are answering calls to action and filling out contact forms.

As for keywords, I don’t have specific metrics because we have so many, but they’ve definitely improved. Over the past 15 years, we’ve worked with 10 SEO agencies who’ve ranged in price points. Even those SEO vendors who advertised themselves as the best have been all talk and no action. Thrive is different.

How did Thrive Internet Marketing Agency perform from a project management standpoint?

Thrive has been excellent from a project management standpoint. They’ve made the process easy and implemented feedback. They assigned a fantastic project manager who provided us with his cell phone number at the beginning of the project. The team has brought great ideas to the table and has been very responsive and communicative. Our project manager has been great at liaising between Thrive and our team to ensure tasks are completed and keep everyone on the same page.

We have direct lines of communication with our SEO and PPC managers, who we reach out to via email. They’ve also been fantastic at bringing creative ideas that have affected our traffic and inbound leads, which is crucial because paid advertising is expensive. 

Whenever we’ve had a slow day in terms of leads, we’ve reached out to the team to make changes, which they implement immediately. We’ve also reached out to them with positive feedback during high-traffic days; they always evaluate those instances to try and learn from them and recreate them.

We meet with our SEO and PPC managers via Zoom. At first, we met weekly, but now we meet monthly. Thrive uses Basecamp to manage the project internally, and they’ve provided us with a portal where we can access reports, rankings, and user flows. They also share content with us via Google Drive, and we communicate via email. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

Thrive has, 100%, without a doubt, made me believe in SEO again. They’ve made strides in our SEO and PPC efforts, and I’m confident in the value they generate from our significant investments in paid advertising. They’ve done a phenomenal job, and I can’t say enough good things.  

Our last SEO vendor made changes to our website, and we found that they’d been using the wrong phone number on one of our paid ads for seven months. We called the phone number to find that an apartment complex had received calls from hundreds of our leads. 

Over the last 6–8 months, we’ve seen great results, and I don’t dread SEO calls anymore. Typically, our calls consist of me providing Thrive with positive feedback and thanking them for giving us such a great experience.

I also like that I never have to follow up with Thrive or ask what’s next on the agenda. They stay on top of the project and keep us informed throughout each stage, which has been refreshing.

Are there any areas they could improve?

At the beginning of the project, one of the Thrive SEO team members wasn’t pulling their weight, which we noticed early on. The project manager brought this to our attention, and we agreed that we’d lost time due to the employee failing to attend to our account. 

Once we voiced our concerns, Thrive brought in their chief SEO specialist, who, within a week, executed a strategy to make up for the wasted time. I was delighted with how they handled the situation; they jumped into action and corrected the issue.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

If you have the budget, you should go for it and hire Thrive because you’ll see your ROI.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Thrive Internet Marketing Agency is attentive to our needs as a client and seems to genuinely care about our business. They’re all quite positive from the top down. We appreciate the way they give back, not only to their community but also to those in need internationally. They have contributed to one of our projects overseas.

Are there any areas they could improve?

The only thing I can think of is some technical problems during a recent phone call. The lady I was speaking to had her phone cutting out repeatedly, making it difficult to communicate and understand her.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Be direct with them, and listen to their advice.

**The Review** — Dec 9, 2020

**Feedback Summary**: Thrive Internet Marketing Agency's social media marketing efforts contributed to lead generation. The team remained flexible throughout the partnership and was willing to make any changes necessary to meet the business needs. They were a supportive partner who was devoted to the project's success.
""They took customer satisfaction very seriously."
"

**BACKGROUND**
Introduce your business and what you do there.

My organization, Jones Jones LLC, is a law firm, and I am the executive partner who is responsible for overseeing and managing the entire law firm.

**OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE**
What challenge were you trying to address with Thrive Internet Marketing Agency?

I wanted to find an all in one internet marketing company to refresh a couple of things for us. We wanted to refresh our website and roll out marketing for the first time. Prior to this, we had never done any kind of social media marketing. We are a defense firm, so our potential client base is companies and organizations. 

I thought there was a good opportunity to start marketing and get the word out there about the services that we provide. I knew that if we picked the right channels with the right people, and the right followers, we would be able to reach people and notify them of our service but also keep our brand in the back of their mind.

**SOLUTION**
What was the scope of their involvement?

Thrive Internet Marketing Agency does marketing on LinkedIn, Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook. They also did some SEO work, getting our firm higher up in Google searches when people are looking for the type of law that we do. 

They had suggested PPC, but I wanted to launch some of the more organic social media marketing first. They also designed and built a new website on WordPress. It’s a social media marketing platform with a newsletter powered by MailChimp.

Amy (Web Project Manager) helped me with the design of the website and her other colleagues did a lot of the programming

What is the team composition?

First, I worked with Craig (Marketing Consultant), who onboarded me. I then worked with Amy and Allison (Account Manager). Kayla (Social Media Strategist) also helped with SEO.

How did you come to work with Thrive Internet Marketing Agency?

I think I did a Google search and read Google reviews. Thrive Internet Marketing Agency was really well-reviewed, and I interviewed them. One of the reasons I decided to go with them was because I really hit it off with Craig.

I also chose to go with them as opposed to other organizations that market themselves as law firm marketing places because I felt that Thrive Internet Marketing Agency really tried to get to know my business. 

With the law firm specific marketing companies, I felt like I was maybe going to get a cookie-cutter version. I didn’t think they cared as much about learning about what I did and what our organization did. 

How much have you invested in them?

The website was in the $15,000–$20,000 range. For all of the other services, we spent about $4,000 per month.

What is the status of this engagement?

I partnered with Thrive Internet Marketing Agency about a year and a half ago, around May 2019, and my website launched maybe two to three months ago.

**RESULTS & FEEDBACK**
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

We actually got one client that saw a social media post we had and realized that we provided a service that they didn’t think we provided, so that was an additional line of business for our company. 

It hasn’t been very profitable yet, which speaks to the underlying issue that we do a couple of different types of law, and I thought it was so obvious to anyone that worked with us that we do multiple types of law, but apparently to our clients, it wasn’t communicated as well as it could have been.

One of our other clients saw a post on LinkedIn that we did this type of work and wanted to use us. That is how I envisioned one of the metrics for social media. That has happened on two separate occasions, so I consider that to be a great success. The website was impressive. 

How did Thrive Internet Marketing Agency perform from a project management standpoint?

Overall, I would recommend them to pretty much anyone that is looking for what I was looking for. The communication was really great. They used some project management tools. For example, I had a login, and I could see reports and metrics and how things were progressing.

I didn’t really leverage it that much, but I could’ve if I wanted to. It was available but I didn’t really use it so it’s hard for me to evaluate that. 

As the site was being designed and as the content was being created and copywriting was going on, we saw the site in a piecemeal format, and I was looking at it in this piecemeal format. When it all came together, I looked at it and it wasn’t what I wanted. 

It wasn’t because they didn’t deliver what I wanted, it’s just that I wasn’t communicative enough about what it was supposed to look like visually. When we saw a draft of what it looked like visually, I felt it wasn’t exactly what I was looking for. 

I called up Craig and explained everything to him. I was pretty nervous when I did that because I was basically eliminating the month of work that had been done up to that point. I spoke with Craig and Amy and outlined every issue I had.

They said they knew exactly what I was looking for and they completely redesigned the site from the ground up visually so that it was consistent with what I was looking for. They built a website that I felt really proud of and didn’t even charge me a penny more. That was something I didn’t think most companies would’ve done

What did you find most impressive about them?

Thrive Internet Marketing Agency really wanted to get to know my business. I didn’t want the website to be a law firm website, and they understood that better than the other marketing companies that create law firm websites.

I completely derailed the program, but the team was so focused on my satisfaction that they basically recreated the website. They took customer satisfaction very seriously. They were willing to allocate more resources to making sure that it was executed. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

When we were going back with the copywriting of the website, being a law firm, it was really important that every single word was deliberately chosen because people might go to our website for legal advice. 

In the multiple rounds of content that I provided, some parts were updated on the site and some parts had older content. I am not sure if it was because there were too many revisions going back and forth, which resulted in some mistakes. 

Every time they got a new turn of content, they would almost start from scratch in putting in the information and not try to see what was different and only changing the things that were different.

Additionally, in making sure that headers and footers were consistent on pages, there were a couple of issues. It’s about attention to detail, but they fixed it immediately after I brought it to their attention.

Despite time zone differences, the team provided an engagement defined by effective communication and prompt deliverables. Their affability and flexibility supported a successful partnership.
""I was most impressed by their response time and how personable their team was."
"

**BACKGROUND**
Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the operations coordinator for AvodahMed, which is an AI technology company that deals with language translation and telehealth services.

**OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE**
What challenge were you trying to address with Thrive Internet Marketing Agency?

We hired Thrive to create a website for our telehealth services market.

**SOLUTION**
What was the scope of their involvement?

Thrive built a completely new website on WordPress. Their team also designed the platform. We also used their writing services. They wrote a script for an animated video that we created for the website.

What is the team composition?

I initially spoke with a salesperson and then worked with Melanie (Web Project Manager) who was our project manager. I also spoke with two other people.

How did you come to work with Thrive Internet Marketing Agency?

I googled web design companies and looked through reviews. I then sent out RFPs to multiple companies. After I received proposals, I spoke with a few different agencies and then narrowed our options to Thrive.

How much have you invested with them?

We spent roughly $15,000 on this project.

What is the status of this engagement?

Our collaboration started in March and then the website launched in November 2020.

**RESULTS & FEEDBACK**
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? 

We measured the success of our collaboration by their ability to deliver in a timely manner. We also ensured that the website was up to the standards of the technology and medical industries. We’re very satisfied with the quality of their design and development services.

How did Thrive Internet Marketing Agency perform from a project management standpoint?

Their team did a great job communicating and meeting deadlines. There was a time difference between our project manager, located in South Africa, and us. However, she was efficient and ensured the collaboration was smooth. Their team quickly delivered results.

What did you find most impressive about them?

I was most impressed by their response time and how personable their team was. Their salesperson and their project manager were kind, helpful, and accommodating.

Are there any areas they could improve?

After we finished the project, we discussed a plug-in that helped the website become ADA compliant. It would’ve been helpful if we had that discussion at the beginning of the project. However, that’s a new service for them.

We also asked them to help with an integration between WordPress and HubSpot, which we use as a CRM. Unfortunately, they didn’t have anyone on their development team who was familiar with the HubSpot plug-in.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

My recommendation would be to utilize their writers for website content. I would also recommend them as a web agency because they did a fantastic job.

""If you need a website, I highly recommend Thrive."
"

**BACKGROUND**
Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the owner of CP Networks. We build and manage computer networks for small and medium businesses.

**OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE**
What challenge were you trying to address with Thrive Internet Marketing Agency?

We weren’t happy with our website. I wanted to find somebody who was a professional at building websites.

**SOLUTION**
What was the scope of their involvement?

We had an existing website before we started working with Thrive, but once we brought them on board, we trashed it. The team built the new one completely from scratch, implementing new content as well. The goal was to talk about and advertise our services. They built it on WordPress and optimized it for SEO. 

Currently, we’re getting started with SEO and PPC.

What is the team composition?

We’ve probably worked talked to eight or 10 different people. We mainly worked with Charissa (Web Project Manager).

How did you come to work with Thrive Internet Marketing Agency?

I’ve known of Thrive for a few years. We’ve actually done a little bit of work for them as clients. I knew of them and liked their website, so I went straight to them.

How much have you invested with them?

We spent about $15,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started talking in May of 2020, and began development in around September. The website was launched in November, and we’re currently working on SEO and PPC.

**RESULTS & FEEDBACK**
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? 

The new site looks great. Thrive did a good job of making it look really professional. The new content is a major improvement. 

We just launched the site, so I don’t have any metrics, but we’re really happy with how it turned out and had a great experience working with them. We got exactly what we wanted.

How did Thrive Internet Marketing Agency perform from a project management standpoint?

I really enjoyed working with Charissa. She made the whole experience flow really easily, and had lots of good advice and good ideas. The communication was really amazing, and they did a great job of keeping us on task with deadlines. We mostly kept in touch over emails, but we had Zoom meetings once or twice a week.

What did you find most impressive about them?

The most impressive aspect of the project was working with Charissa. Her attitude and her communication were stellar; it made the whole experience. I expected to have a good website at the end, but working with her made it fun.

Are there any areas they could improve?

As far as the website build, everything went well. I can’t think of any areas for improvement. We’ve just started with PPC and SEO, so it’s hard to say, but it feels like maybe the communication hasn’t been quite what I got from the web build.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

If you need a website, I highly recommend Thrive. They build beautiful, one-of-a-kind sites. Also, if you’re going to make that investment, you have to be prepared to get a bunch of content ready, because it’s a lot of work and you don’t want to squander the opportunity.

What challenge were you trying to address with Thrive Internet Marketing Agency?

**SOLUTION**
What was the scope of their involvement?

They work on SEO, content, and social media management for our team. We rely on them to maintain and improve our placement in Google search results rankings. While we’ve pulled away from social media efforts recently, they’re still responsible for sending newsletters to our customers. Additionally, they developed a backend data management and entry interface for our platform. 

What is the team composition?

I work with Matt (Founder) on the management of my account. We worked closely with a developer as well. 

How did you come to work with Thrive Internet Marketing Agency?

How did Thrive Internet Marketing Agency perform from a project management standpoint?

They’ve been spot on with project management. There were a few delays, some caused by our internal team and other caused by theirs. They had to do a decent bit of research to find the right solutions for us, so the delays weren’t a big deal. Overall, the project worked out great. They sent me updates, information, and reports to let us know how much time was being spent on certain tasks. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

Their ability to overcome obstacles and challenges really stood out. They’re willing to take on new projects that they may not have tons of experience with in the past. It’s great to see companies that are willing to take on a challenge. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

I would love to have some more communication from them to make sure we’re always on the same page about their progress.

What challenge were you trying to address with Thrive Internet Marketing Agency?

We hired Thrive Internet Marketing Agency to do our SEO. We obtain 98% of our clients through Google searches, so we needed help with that.

**SOLUTION**
What was the scope of their involvement?

Thrive Internet Marketing Agency does our SEO work. When we redid our website, the team also helped to make sure that we didn’t lose our SEO progress, and they worked with our web designer. 

What is the team composition?

We have one point of contact who is our case manager.

How did you come to work with Thrive Internet Marketing Agency?

We searched online and interviewed about four companies. I’m a novice in the SEO space and Thrive Internet Marketing Agency had a good sales presentation in terms of explaining the process. I felt taken care of.

How much have you invested with them?

We began working with them about two years ago in Q4, and our engagement is ongoing. 

**RESULTS & FEEDBACK**

Thrive Internet Marketing Agency does a monthly report that provides us with keyword tracking and analytics. I’ve seen an increase in potential clients clicking on and asking for bids. 

We are very satisfied with the progress of the campaign. Within four months, we were on the first page of Google, in about the top five positions. We then aggressively went to the top three positions.

How did Thrive Internet Marketing Agency perform from a project management standpoint?

They managed the project well and set their own deadlines. The team is very proactive in their approach, which I like as a small company. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

I like Thrive Internet Marketing Agency because of their overall experience. The market is saturated with a lot of people who say they can do SEO, but they don’t come with the knowledge, resources, and manpower to get you the resources.

We had someone who promised us the world, and we didn’t see any return. With Thrive Internet Marketing Agency, we saw a huge return within the first three months. They’re a great partner.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, not at this point.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Value Thrive Internet Marketing Agency’s time and efforts by making sure that you keep up with them. It seems like a large investment in the beginning, but you will see results within a certain time period. It’s a long-term gain, not a short-term one.

**OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE**
What challenge were you trying to address with Thrive Internet Marketing Agency?

When we brought architecture into the firm, we decided to redesign our website.

**SOLUTION**
What was the scope of their involvement?

Thrive helped us to redesign our entire WordPress website. Later, their team redesigned a few pages too. After they created the initial designs, we had a day or two for revisions.

What is the team composition?

I directly worked with two different people from Thrive. My initial point of contact, Mike (Sales Team Director), was a sales representative. I also collaborated with Jack (Web Team Director) who guided the web development process.

How did you come to work with Thrive Internet Marketing Agency?

We initially hired them before my time at the company, so I’m not sure how we originally found them. However, we liked their work. That’s why we went back to them for help.  

How much have you invested with them?

What did you find most impressive about them?

My initial meeting with their team was held via Skype. We had a face to face conversation, which is always easier when trying to explain one's goals. It was nice to go back and forth with them.

I had questions about the project because I had no previous experience with design projects. Their team did a great job answering my questions.

Are there any areas they could improve?

They created the initial designs and then allowed a day or two for revisions. I realized that wasn’t enough time for my whole team to review them and provide comments. While we felt rushed, their team was flexible and worked with me on deadlines.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Ask questions because they’re available to answer them.

""Their team delivers what was promised when promised; that’s a unique characteristic."

**BACKGROUND**
Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the managing director of a boutique investment bank.

**OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE**
What challenge were you trying to address with Thrive Internet Marketing Agency?

Another group managed our website but didn’t attract the expected amount of activity. We needed another provider to set up a new website. Also, we wanted to improve our SEO initiatives to support the platform.

**SOLUTION**
What was the scope of their involvement?

Thrive built a new website on WordPress beginning the process with a template. Essentially, we had the content ready to go. Their team now hosts the platform.

They continue to provide SEO services to increase the site’s visibility. Their team tries to rank for certain keywords. They set up content to be more easily read, but they’re not creating it.

What is the team composition?

In total, we’ve interacted with six different people from Thrive. I have a day to day contact who focuses on our SEO efforts.

How did you come to work with Thrive Internet Marketing Agency?

I previously used their services when I had a different firm. As I knew Thrive and had decent success with them, I pulled the project over to their team.

How much have you invested with them?

The website cost about $9,500, and we spend about $1,000 a month on their SEO services.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started talking around April 2020, and it took about a month and a half to complete the website. Thrive continues to manage SEO initiatives for us.

**RESULTS & FEEDBACK**
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? 

Compared to our previous vendor, Thrive has already gotten better results. Their team’s knowledgeable. When I give suggestions, they present the pros and cons. This allows me to make informed decisions.

The website’s young at this point, and the market’s awful at the moment. Frankly, it’s hard to expect much right now.

How did Thrive Internet Marketing Agency perform from a project management standpoint?

We mainly communicate via phone, email, and Zoom. Thrive managed the website development well. The person who directs our SEO initiatives also performs well. Their team’s organized.

What did you find most impressive about them?

It’s easy to work with Thrive. Their team delivers what was promised when promised; that’s a unique characteristic. I’m pleased. When talking to other web agencies, I felt that their teams were creative but flaky. Unlike them, Thrive’s professional.

Are there any areas they could improve?

In terms of improvement, it’s too early to tell. They market themselves well. I’m hoping that knowledge translates to my business.

Once the website was developed, we had a quick training on how to manipulate WordPress. Their team then provided a bunch of videos. Not all of us love watching videos. They could better distinguish the difference between clients who want videos and those who prefer hands-on training.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

As with anything, you’ll get out of a partnership what you put into it. If you want them to be timely, you need to provide their team with the necessary materials in a timely manner. Thrive will deliver, but you need to do your part.

When I started, we didn’t have much of a marketing program. Bringing Thrive Internet Marketing Agency was part of my initiative to organize and grow our marketing initiatives.

**SOLUTION**
What was the scope of their involvement?

We hired them for their social media expertise. So we have a representative that manages our Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. We provide content and graphics, and they set up the campaigns. They try to get our fans to engage, or they direct them to our website to make a sale. They plan all of that, implement the strategy, and then we discuss the performance after the fact to continue to drive sales.

What is the team composition?

We work with one project manager.

How did you come to work with Thrive Internet Marketing Agency?

Our fan worked for Thrive Internet Marketing Agency and he reached out to us. I was already moving in that direction anyway, so we decided to work with them.

In the past, I’ve worked with various social media groups. I liked that by bringing in Thrive Internet Marketing, I don’t have to worry about anything. I don’t have to babysit them and I’m confident they’re always doing what I need to do.

How much have you invested with them?

We spend $2,000 per month (approximately $50,000 in total).

What is the status of this engagement?

We started in May 2018 and it’s ongoing.

**RESULTS & FEEDBACK**
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? 

I just printed a report from early on in our engagement, and our most recent report. Looking at the difference, impression has increased from 179,000 to 499,000. So we’ve seen a big boost in reach. The links clicks went from 936 to over 6,000.

When we started working with Thrive Internet Marketing Agency, we were making about $5,000 in website sales, and now we’re making between $20,000–$30,000. Clearly, we’ve seen a big increase in sales, which I attribute to the consistent attention we receive from them and their ability to grow our followers on social media.

How did Thrive Internet Marketing Agency perform from a project management standpoint?

They’re always on time. If our project manager ever has a conflict, is sick, or is on vacation, he always lets us know and we can reschedule. We have a personal rapport. When our team was in his area, we were able to meet up for lunch or dinner. It’s been a great working relationship.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Our project manager is also very professional. He gets everything done when he says he will and reports on it. Sometimes he offers new ideas for us to try and think about. He wants to do his job well and is dedicated to helping us.

Are there any areas they could improve?

We’re always looking for ways to grow with them. We recently launched a YouTube service and that’s actually a different service. So he said he could bring more people in, but it’s outside the terms of our contract so it would cost more. That has just been a matter of us not having the budget to bring on more services.

This also isn’t his fault, but he isn’t as familiar with our product as an in-house team member would have. So we have to provide the information that he needs to support the post.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

You get what you put into the project. So you’ll get a better result  if you remain engaged with them.

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I oversee marketing and finance for a hospitality management company.

**OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE**
What challenge were you trying to address with Thrive Internet Marketing Agency?

We needed an expert to improve our SEO initiatives. When we brought on Thrive, we weren’t positioned well online.

**SOLUTION**
What was the scope of their involvement?

Thrive began by tackling our on-site SEO challenges. They addressed any technical issues and rewrote copy, optimizing for keywords. Their team identified new keywords to target and created a blog, which they continue to oversee. Thrive tracks the campaigns as we go.

What did you find most impressive about them?

The effectiveness of their SEO campaigns certainly stands out. Their customer service is also notable. Their communication with our project manager’s excellent.

Are there any areas they could improve?

They could better follow up on new projects. We discussed additional e-commerce projects and after one meeting, their team didn’t follow up. Their competitors, however, wanted to tailor a solution to us.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Try to have a baseline understanding of your project. Learn about SEO and what you want. You need to understand the practices to communicate with them.

**Feedback Summary**: The team effectively refined digital marketing campaigns, significantly improving local search rankings to notably increase traffic and engagement. Thrive Internet Marketing Agency is accommodating, which enables effective collaboration. Their industry knowledge ensures continued engagement.
""They have a lot of expertise, which makes them effective."
"

**BACKGROUND**
Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the owner of a plant-based cooking school in Los Angeles.

**OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE**
What challenge were you trying to address with Thrive Internet Marketing Agency?

A majority of people search and find cooking classes through Google and Yelp. In the past, I hired a couple of SEO freelancers who built my rankings but not in my area.

My business involved people attending in-person cooking classes. I wanted to work with a larger team that could provide local SEO services and eventually help to rebuild my website.

**SOLUTION**
What was the scope of their involvement?

Thrive focuses on building my website rankings in local searches. Their team’s rebuilding my website too.

My website started as a blog, featuring about 300 articles and recipes. Now, Thrive helps with my content marketing efforts. Their team creates a monthly list of content topics based on what’s trending. As my business is strong in my voice, I then create the content. 

What is the team composition?

I work with a couple of people from Thrive’s team.

How did you come to work with Thrive Internet Marketing Agency?

I found them on Clutch. I reviewed profiles and narrowed my list to 5–6 companies based on their work experiences with small businesses. I talked to each of the companies but Thrive gave the best price and appeared to be the best fit.

They specialized in SEO and clearly knew more than I did on the topic. With the other companies, it was clear that SEO wasn’t one of their main service lines.  Thrive was also honest about what would benefit my business, unlike other agencies that tried to sell me on additional services.

How much have you invested with them?

I have them on a retainer for $1,000 a month.

What is the status of this engagement?

I hired them around January 2019, and the engagement’s ongoing.

**RESULTS & FEEDBACK**
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? 

My website climbed local search results tremendously. Before COVID-19, I received a significant amount of traffic and calls.

The growth happened quickly. I already had a web presence, but Thrive took that presence and focused it locally. Their efforts were effective.

How did Thrive Internet Marketing Agency perform from a project management standpoint?

Their team’s attentive and nice, which is a big deal. It’s pleasant talking with them. They’re able to take technical topics and translate them into layman’s terms. When ideas become too technical, they explain them in a way that I understand.

Thrive’s also patient. I’m usually the bottleneck. While I may feel guilty, their team ensures that I take my time. They want to get the website right.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Thrive’s good at what they do. They have a lot of expertise, which makes them effective. I’m busy because I’m a small business owner. It’s nice to have an agency to take care of the projects that I don’t have the time to manage. While my previous experiences with vendors helped, Thrive’s a full-service agency that has built my rankings.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, I’ve been pleased with everything so far.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

This is general advice: be clear about what you want and what you need. Through trial and error with other vendors, I learned what I did and didn’t want. When I interviewed other companies, I could understand from their presentations whether or not it would be a good fit. Understand your needs and goals to mitigate miscommunication.

"

**BACKGROUND**
Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the director of operations for a fitness company.

**OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE**
What challenge were you trying to address with Thrive Internet Marketing Agency?

We have an online fitness club, which we hired Thrive to help market.

**SOLUTION**
What was the scope of their involvement?

Thrive manages social media advertising for the challenges that we run every month. We write the content that their team promotes.

Their team initially ran a 10-day ad challenge. We started with a low-cost basis to make sure that we all gelled.

What is the team composition?

Our main point of contact’s Alyssa (Social Media Manager) who fits well with our team.

How did you come to work with Thrive Internet Marketing Agency?

I found them on Clutch. In all of their reviews, I read that they delivered and attended to details. We also wanted an agency that had experience working with small businesses. We needed a partner that was willing to start at an affordable rate.

How much have you invested with them?

We contracted them at $1,000 a month, and then we pay for Facebook Ads on top of that.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started our partnership in the beginning of April 2020, and it’s ongoing.

**RESULTS & FEEDBACK**
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? 

When we run a campaign, we review our club memberships. We also assess the Facebook pixel, which Thrive attached to the back of the ads to measure the ROI. Those metrics have increased every month. They fine-tuned their efforts, so we’re getting a better return every single month.

How did Thrive Internet Marketing Agency perform from a project management standpoint?

We have a weekly conference call over Zoom with our project manager who we like. We review the numbers and talk about future campaigns.

When it comes to spending our dollar, Thrive’s conservative. They don’t spend on advertising without seeing a return. When their team sees an ad performing well, they let us know. Then, we decide if we want to increase our ad spend.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Thrive listens to your needs. Even though we’re a small business, they feel like an extension of us. Their team understands our goals and our company philosophy, which enables them to reach our target demographic. During the first week, they honed their efforts to engage our target audience.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, we’ve been happy so far.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Be organized with your ads and have a plan of action. You have to bring them content and a message. Once you have a direction and goal, then the marketer can run with it.

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the marketing manager for a hospital media company. We provide continuous channels to hospitals as an alternative to broadcast and television. Our channels include nature and calming music to help with the noise and help patients with stress and anxiety.

**OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE**
What challenge were you trying to address with Thrive Internet Marketing Agency?

We were working with another Google Ad firm, but they weren’t performing well, nor were they contacting us regularly. They had a lot of errors in their work, so we wanted to find a more strategic,  hands-on partner.

**SOLUTION**
What was the scope of their involvement?

They’re working with us on PPC. Our product is very niche, so I had to explain our product, but they’ll run with anything. They’ve looked into keywords for our new VR product and created a huge list based on the conversations we’ve had. We’ve recently decided to shift our strategy from branded keywords to product-based keywords.

What is the team composition?

I work with Nick (PPC Project Manager) and Lauren (PPC Specialist).

How did Thrive Internet Marketing Agency perform from a project management standpoint?

They perform extremely well. They have never missed a meeting. Their approach was much more hands-on than our previous partners. They're also very, very organized, which we love. They constantly stay in contact with us whether that's our ongoing monthly meeting to review or mid-month updates of how our Google Ads are performing. Whenever we want to try something, they’ve been very adaptable while providing a lot of expertise.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They’re nice and approachable. They’re very easy to work with and it has been a great experience. I really appreciate our partnership.

Are there any areas they could improve?

Originally, we were working with another account manager who wasn’t quite what we were looking for, but Thrive Internet Marketing Agency handled it really well and brought Nick on board. I work really closely with Lauren, and she’s very organized and smart. They made us feel really comfortable for a difficult situation. We had a meeting to make sure the transition went well.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Understand what you’re looking for from your partnership with them. If we had been more open and clearer about our goals, the beginning of our engagement would have been better.

""Thrive Internet Marketing Agency’s honesty, collaboration, and communication make them stand out."
"

**BACKGROUND**
Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the web designer and developer at an addiction treatment recovery company.

**OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE**
What challenge were you trying to address with Thrive Internet Marketing Agency?

We had a company before that did SEO and PPC, and we had worked with them for a few years. My colleagues and I weren’t enthused with what they were doing. They tried to make us look good in their reports even though our numbers and graphs really weren’t good.

The process wasn’t collaborative because we didn’t have access to the data ourselves; we could only see it in the reports. So, we needed another partner.

**SOLUTION**
What was the scope of their involvement?

Thrive Internet Marketing Agency manages our Google Ads, and they’ve also recently started working on our Bing Ads. We launched our new website in March and they were there to support us and provide us with input. They made sure that all of the ad copy was aligned with our new website.

What is the team composition?

We work with Caroline (SEO), who manages our Google Analytics, and Igor (PPC Strategist), who does our Google Ads, Bing Ads, and PPC.

How did you come to work with Thrive Internet Marketing Agency?

We looked at several companies, and we were blown away by Thrive Internet Marketing Agency’s communication and collaboration. Their whole onboarding process was awesome.

How much have you invested with them?

We spend $6,500 per month, which doesn’t include ad spend. 

What is the status of this engagement?

Our engagement began in January, and it’s ongoing.

**RESULTS & FEEDBACK**
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? 

The biggest factor is that we’re able to see what they’re doing in real-time. We have access to their Google Analytics, Bing Ads, and Google Ads. Thrive Internet Marketing Agency has done a great job of tailoring their work to our industry. Our other vendor didn’t understand our industry, and it felt like they were outsiders.

How did Thrive Internet Marketing Agency perform from a project management standpoint?

We have at least one Zoom or phone meeting with them per month, usually more. The frequent communication has been key, and it has made us feel like one team. The best part about them is that if they don’t know something, they will say it upfront.

We were having some issues with social media because of the global pandemic and, even though we didn’t have a social media teammate on their side working with us, they allowed us to allocate some of Caroline’s hours to another one of their teammates so that it didn't cost us extra.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Thrive Internet Marketing Agency’s honesty, collaboration, and communication make them stand out. I truly look forward to meeting with them, which isn’t the case with other vendors. They’re always such a delight. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, nothing comes to mind just yet. They have exceeded expectations in every way. When I want them to do something differently, I’m always able to tell them and they do it.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Be upfront and do your homework on what you want, and make sure that you bring that to them during the onboarding process. If you’re honest, they will follow through.

"

**BACKGROUND**
Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the director of marketing for a disaster recovery company. We offer homeowners and business owners of all sizes services to restore their properties after disasters.

**OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE**
What challenge were you trying to address with Thrive Internet Marketing Agency?

We hired Thrive because we weren’t seeing the results that we needed from our SEO partner. It was time to make a change.

**SOLUTION**
What was the scope of their involvement?

Thrive optimizes our website for search results of not our core services but also all 19 of our locations across the US. Basically, they help us with our SEO efforts, which involve website optimization. They optimize our content such as adding meta descriptions.

Their team started on a project to redirect and consolidate our websites. Their team’s redirecting one website to another because we were competing against each other.

What is the team composition?

I work with a few people but also have a main point of contact.

How did you come to work with Thrive Internet Marketing Agency?

I found Thrive through a colleague who found them through a recommendation from a colleague at Google. It wasn’t until we connected and started to vet agencies that I learned that Thrive’s office is about 20 minutes from ours.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent about $11,000 a month on their services.

What is the status of this engagement?

Our conversation started in December 2019 but we signed on with them in January 2020.

**RESULTS & FEEDBACK**
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? 

They’ve made a huge impact on our company. On average, our total website traffic has increased 135% year over year. Our organic search traffic has also increased 167% year over year. I’ve challenged Thrive a lot, and their team will give more than what I ask.

How did Thrive Internet Marketing Agency perform from a project management standpoint?

They’re hugely transparent. Thrive has a customer dashboard where I can track how every second of the monthly hours are divided. I can see who’s working on what initiatives, how many hours they worked, and what they accomplished. We also have a weekly meeting with our main account representative. There hasn’t been a point when I haven't known what was going on.

What did you find most impressive about them?

The rate at which they respond is huge. I don’t usually wait 24 hours for a response. Their ability to pivot quickly is important. Their transparency and reasonable pricing distinguish them from other providers.  

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, I don’t, which is crazy.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Be engaged in the process. You get what you put into it. Tell them what you need and what you want, then your expectations will be exceeded. Communicate what you want and need.

**The Review** — May 12, 2020

**Feedback Summary**: Thrive Internet Marketing Agency optimized ad spend and executed campaigns that increased traffic and social media engagement. The team is straightforward and responsive, addressing challenges with effective solutions. Their communicativeness and professionalism result in a valuable partnership.
""Thrive delivers solutions when we come to them with an issue."
"

**BACKGROUND**
Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m a program manager for an association of public gardens that includes botanical gardens, arboreta, and city parks. We serve as a support association for any garden that has a collection of plants that are managed and curated.

**OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE**
What challenge were you trying to address with Thrive Internet Marketing Agency?

I hired them to help with our PPC campaigns on Google Ads. Google gives a grant of $10,000 ad spend monthly to nonprofits. I hired them to help with our PPC campaigns and enhance the way that Google Ads worked for us.

**SOLUTION**
What was the scope of their involvement?

Thrive manages our PPC campaigns on Google. They manage keywords and conversions. They essentially enhance the ad spend that Google provides. Their team keeps up with that spend by carefully managing the PPC, conversions, and keywords through Google Ads.

I receive a report and meet with them biweekly to look at the progress and improve anything. For example, we run through any added features on the website to update the keywords and content in the campaigns.

Recently, they took on the management of our social media campaigns. They’re running ads for us on Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest. Their team reports on the ads and engagement monthly.

What is the team composition?

Currently, we work with about three people: an account manager, a PPC specialist, and a social media specialist.

How did you come to work with Thrive Internet Marketing Agency?

I found them online. They seemed a bit old fashioned but also professional. They had great reviews, so I decided to give them a try.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent about $1,000 a month on their services.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in October 2019, and it’s an ongoing relationship.

**RESULTS & FEEDBACK**
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? 

When we started, I spent about $2,500 of the $10,000 we had for PPC campaigns. Now, we’re consistently spending close to $10,000 every month, which was my goal.

We also attract new visitors every month. The bounce rates are down a good amount.

In a little over a week, their team increased our likes on Facebook from 100 to almost 600. So far, the response to their social media posts has been great. People find the ads, like them, and share our page.

How did Thrive Internet Marketing Agency perform from a project management standpoint?

They’re great communicators. They had a special person who onboarded us, which I thought was unnecessary at first. I quickly realized that she had an important role, which was to connect us with the right person.

Everyone I’ve connected with at Thrive has been professional. Their communication’s straightforward. Every time I come to Thrive with a question, they return with solutions rather than multiple layers of more questions. That’s valuable after working with many different contractors who returned my questions with more requests.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Thrive delivers solutions when we come to them with an issue. They don’t circle around the same issue asking us more questions. When we bring up an issue, their team gives us a solution to move us forward. It’s a straightforward process. They all have that same modus operandi, which I really like.

Are there any areas they could improve?

At the beginning of their sales pitch, they overpromised a bit. When we talked about the $10,000 spend, their team said that they could use it without a problem. We came way under that spend the first month. After a month of reprogramming, they quickly figured out how to spend close to $10,000 each month.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Before you go into the engagement, understand your goals. It will make it easier to get what you want at the end of each month. Ask a lot of questions because there’s a whole lingo associated with social media and PPC. I had them take it slow and explain the different concepts.

**The Review** — Oct 31, 2018

**Feedback Summary**: Visitors have responded favorably to the new site, highlighting the improved navigation and home page. Search rankings and traffic volume have also increased thanks to Thrive’s SEO efforts. The team is responsive to customer needs and is committed to producing results.
"“I was pleased with their performance, conduct, and approach.”
"

**BACKGROUND**
Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the president of Olicon Inc. We’re a small to medium-sized commercial construction company that specializes in senior healthcare construction. In my role, I handle construction project management and estimating.

**OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE**
What challenge were you trying to address with Thrive Internet Marketing Agency?

When we approached Thrive Internet Marketing Agency, our website was about 10 years old, and we hadn’t updated the content nor kept up with Google’s changing algorithms. The design was also fairly stagnant because we had a niche market with a lot of repeat customers, so we didn’t get many visitors.

Now that we’re trying to expand our market into other areas, we needed to create a new, user-friendly site that was easy for our staff to update with information. We also engaged Thrive's team to manage our SEO.

**SOLUTION**
What was the scope of their involvement?

I already had in mind the direction I wanted to go with the site and how I wanted to convey our image. Our company works with several nonprofits, supporting them both financially and with construction services. Therefore, it was important to have a site that not only showcased our capabilities but also promoted our nonprofit clients. I wrote the copy for the new WordPress site, and Thrive implemented it into the layout, structuring the home page to best reflect our company’s values.

On the SEO side, they supported our keyword marketing and continue to manage our SEO campaigns. We’ve already had one-on-one meetings with them to discuss our progress and identify where we want to go from here.

What is the team composition?

For the web build, they assigned a web project manager and an SEO specialist who both took the lead on the website at different points. There were also other resources who performed statistical analysis to help us rank higher on Google.

How did you come to work with Thrive Internet Marketing Agency?

We took estimates from various web developers before contacting our IT company. Thrive had created their website and came highly recommended. After talking with them, I felt they were the best fit for us.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent about $31,000 thus far.

What is the status of this engagement?

Their work started in April 2018 and is ongoing. Thrive still provides SEO services.

**RESULTS & FEEDBACK**
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

When the site went live, we sent out emails to our customers to gather feedback, and the response has been extremely positive. We’ve had more site visits, and our search rankings have also increased. The site itself has a good layout that’s easy to maneuver, and all of our key information is on the home page.

How did Thrive Internet Marketing Agency perform from a project management standpoint?

They performed well. Since we had most of the content ready to publish, each side worked to meet their deadlines. The site ended up being a month behind schedule, but that was because we needed to pull back and allocate time for our business.

Regardless, the project management team was extremely responsive throughout the development phase. We held all of our meetings through video conferences, which was nice. I appreciated that I could see the team and put a name to a face.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They do exactly what they say they’re going to do. They met the initial scope of work, kept to the time frame, and produced a nice-looking final product.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, I don’t have any complaints. I was pleased with their performance, conduct, and approach.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

If you know what you want and are confident in your idea, let them know. In our case, we had a good grasp of what we wanted to say and could envision how the site should look. It’s also important to have your content ready to avoid delays. If you need more help defining your ideas, tell them upfront so that they can take the lead.

**Feedback Summary**: Thrive Internet Marketing Agency provides a transparent and organized experience. They’re a passionate team of talented individuals. They deliver two reports each month to communicate the project’s progress. Despite the frequency of those reports, the content within them could be more informative.
"“They’re extremely detail-oriented and track their time down to the second.”
"

**BACKGROUND**
Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the COO of the Florida Center for Hormones and Wellness. We’re a medical practice that focuses primarily on hormone replacement therapy and other wellness treatments.

**OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE**
What challenge were you trying to address with Thrive Internet Marketing Agency?

We needed a marketing agency to lead our SEO campaigns.

**SOLUTION**
What was the scope of their involvement?

Thrive Internet Marketing Agency currently manages our SEO effort. Starting the engagement with them was fairly easy because we weren’t starting from scratch. We’d been doing SEO for years, so there was a lot of data for them to work from while evaluating our goals. The onboarding call consisted of building a dialogue rather than going over keywords or statistics. They listened to me describe our company and the industry while writing down thorough notes. We wanted to start slow and see how they perform before expanding our involvement with them.

The first month of the project involved Thrive Internet Marketing Agency performing their due diligence regarding the backend. We didn’t hear from them much during that time, but I knew they were doing their thing. We’ve only contracted them for 10 hours a month, and that time can get burned pretty quickly. They’re reasonably transparent about how they use their time on the backend but could stand to be more forthcoming with their frontend contributions. They provided a mid-month report for October, but it wasn’t as detailed as I would’ve liked. Their work has yet to produce anything for us, but it’s still early enough in the project for that not to be their fault. We’re also currently considering a proposal for them to oversee a digital advertising campaign via Facebook.

What is the team composition?

We work with Josiah (Lead Marketing Consultant, Thrive Internet Marketing Agency), Jen (Onboarding Manager, Thrive Internet Marketing Agency), and Carlos (SEO Team Lead, Thrive Internet Marketing Agency). Matt (SEO Specialist, Thrive Internet Marketing Agency), functions as our primary contact on a day-to-day basis.

How did you come to work with Thrive Internet Marketing Agency?

I allocated the task to my marketing coordinator who searched online and considered multiple firms. I used to own several marketing agencies, so I knew exactly the kind of team I wanted. After the initial consultation with Thrive Internet Marketing Agency, I felt that they’d make great partners. I liked the personalities of the people I spoke with and knew they cared about our project. Therefore, hiring them was an easy decision.

How much have you invested with them?

We spend $1,250 per month for their services.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with them in September 2018 and the engagement is ongoing.

**RESULTS & FEEDBACK**
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

Thrive Internet Marketing Agency only recently started this project, so it’s still early to evaluate meaningful metrics. They created a video after the first month that showed there wasn’t any notable statistics to share due to the time it took for them perform a thorough analysis. Admittedly, that surprised me considering how much historical data we have. The subsequent update during the following month indicated that the number of unique hits has dropped on a specific page. That email is roughly three sentences long, so it doesn’t contain statistical analysis. I have faith in their abilities, but what they’re capable of accomplishing inside an hour is yet to be seen.

How did Thrive Internet Marketing Agency perform from a project management standpoint?

They’re extremely detail-oriented and track their time down to the second. Looking at the report they provided at the end of September; we can see exactly how many hours they worked and even what meetings were held. They’ve also been a great team to work with thus far. Every person I've spoken to at Thrive Internet Marketing Agency is delightful, intelligent, and sweet.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They’re incredibly responsive whenever I reach out to them or send an email. Their personalities are fabulous, so communicating with them is a pleasure.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I don't necessarily feel like the communication is in-depth enough. After reading the last mid-month report, I don't I have a clear understanding of the deliverables planned for October. Also, I would’ve preferred the first monthly report to be a live meeting instead of a video. The video didn’t allow me to ask any questions or facilitate an in-depth conversation regarding the project’s goals. Instead, I had to read everything on my own and reach back out to them. That was particularly disappointing because they originally promised live update meetings at the start of the engagement. The plan was to transition the update meetings to video recordings once we established a rhythm.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Approach the engagement with definitive expectations to help manage their output. Marketing agencies tend to know what they should be doing, while not necessarily having access to the resources required to deliver what they promise. Keep that in mind while working with an external firm.

We needed a vendor that would be responsive and take responsibilities for our company. 

**SOLUTION**
What challenge were you trying to address with Thrive Internet Marketing Agency?

We needed a vendor that would be responsive and take responsibilities for our company. 

What is the team composition? 

I mainly work with 3–5 people from Thrive Internet Marketing Agency’s SEO and PPC teams. I only talk to one person from the web development team. We briefly interacted with a social media expert, but don't anymore. 

How did you come to work with Thrive Internet Marketing Agency?

Our director found Thrive Internet Marketing Agency through a recommendation. We were looking for a local team, and their headquarters are in Arlington. The departments we work with are located in Florida, so they serve as both local and remote resources. 

How much have you invested with them?

We spend about $7,500 a month.

What is the status of this engagement?

We've been working together since May 2018. 

**RESULTS & FEEDBACK**
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

Thrive Internet Marketing Agency reports monthly metrics. They send data and information about overall lead generation and traffic.  I don't have a point of comparison from before March 2018 when we started working together. 

How did Thrive Internet Marketing Agency perform from a project management standpoint?

Everything about project management has been great. Thrive Internet Marketing Agency sends regularly scheduled monthly communication, and we even contact them throughout the month. The team doesn’t typically send me too many updates on a project unless I request them. We mostly use email to work together. They've also provided a dashboard that includes a portal where we can submit requests. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

Thrive Internet Marketing Agency is highly responsive. They offer excellent communication. The team is very diligent about holding meetings.

Are there any areas they could improve?

Along with the numeric reports, I would appreciate expert suggestions about specific things our company can do to improve month over month. The team provides a lot of data, but we don't always understand what those numbers mean or why they've decreased or increased. Proving more explanations would be an area with room for improvement. 

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

I don't think so. Thrive Internet Marketing is definitely a great partner if you're aiming to grow your business.

**Feedback Summary**: A site that started just within the top 100 results is now ranked at number 18 for a keyword users search for 25,000 times per month. Web traffic increased by 35% month over month and revenue is growing. Thrive Internet Marketing Agency has an effective business model and keeps projects organized.
"“It’s apparent how much they care about bringing in the best level of talent.”
 
"

**BACKGROUND**
Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the CEO at Approved Course, an online driving course provider mainly in the state of Texas. We offer defensive driving courses for ticket dismissal and insurance discounts. We also refer people to other companies for classes that we’re not an approved provider for.

**OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE**
What challenge were you trying to address with Thrive Internet Marketing Agency?

We have many sites in different industries. Our biggest struggle had been getting our main website to rank well. Between the variety of information on our site and the industry itself, we might have been spread too thin instead of focusing on the actual services we provide. 

After having little success with an in-house resource, we decided to try the agency route again. We hadn’t used one in a while due to some negative experiences over the past 10 years.

**SOLUTION**
What was the scope of their involvement?

Thrive Internet Marketing Agency helped us narrow our focus to ranking for relevant keywords in our market. About 85% of their work involves targeting SEO, but they also improved our existing PPC campaign. 

We haven’t made that many structural changes. They brought down a few pages to flatten the structure a bit, but the overall layout has remained the same. To ensure the content is understandable for search engines and matches our users’ intent, they’ve done a lot of on-page optimization. Consistent updates show search engines that we’re relevant rather than wasting time sending uninterested users to our site.

We have Thrive Internet Marketing Agency on an ongoing monthly retainer. They’re working on building local citations and outreach for link building. Currently, our site has about 200 pages and 150 posts on it. The team is going through them all to look for areas to improve and making those changes on our behalf.

What is the team composition? 

We work with an SEO specialist and PPC specialist. Carlos (SEO Manager, Thrive Internet Marketing Agency) is the team lead and also does SEO.

How did you come to work with Thrive Internet Marketing Agency?

Clutch was one of the many sites that led me to contact Thrive Internet Marketing Agency. I submitted a request online to get some information. Our initial contact was great. After waiting for a proposal for a week past the deadline, I started looking for a different agency. I kept coming back to Thrive Internet Marketing Agency. I responded to a newsletter email from their CEO and he called me within about 20 minutes.

Later that evening, the person from the initial call apologized and took full responsibility. Thrive Internet Marketing Agency sent me a proposal, and I pondered it for a while. I was nervous about my past agency experience and lack of communication, but I’m glad I gave them a shot.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent $25,000 so far.

What is the status of this engagement?

We’ve been working together since May 2018.

**RESULTS & FEEDBACK**
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

Thrive Internet Marketing Agency has helped us break even. Now we’re continuing to improve. The acquisition cost used to be 400% of our profit. They’ve made the most significant impact on organic traffic and individual keyword rankings. For the past 30 days, organic traffic has been up by 35% compared to the month before.

All our SEO keywords are moving up in the search rankings. We’re currently at number 18 for driving in Texas, which is about 25,000 searches a month. Before we started working with Thrive Internet Marketing Agency, we were barely in the top 100 results. We’ve seen some big improvements there.
 How did Thrive Internet Marketing Agency perform from a project management standpoint?

Thrive Internet Marketing Agency has been great. They keep everything transparent. I can log in to their system and see how many minutes they spent on each task and the results from those efforts. This tool shows the entire project, lists upcoming tasks and lets me communicate with the team. We also use email, phone, and a video conferencing tool. Once a month, we have a video call to go over the previous month’s work and upcoming plans.

What did you find most impressive about them?

I really like how Thrive Internet Marketing Agency’s entire business is structured. Their teammates work from different locations. On our video calls, I talk to Carlos who is in Orlando while Katie (PPC Specialist, Thrive Internet Marketing Agency) is in Austin. It’s apparent how much they care about bringing in the best level of talent. They have resources nationwide and bring everyone together using technology.

Are there any areas they could improve?

The only slightly negative I experienced was the initial communication breakdown. Since then, it was much better and has proven to be worthwhile for me to continue with them.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Always ask questions. Thrive Internet Marketing Agency has always been great about explaining everything that they’re working on. They go above and beyond to make sure clients know and what that means for you and your company. 

Over time, I explained to Carlos that I much appreciated all the explanations but am not a typical client. I’ve been doing online marketing development for the past 10 years and have a firm foundation of the basics.

Their skillful use of AdWords and Google Analytics increased conversions. Consistently posting content on social media platforms generates significant customer engagement.
"“They truly want to help our business grow and are always looking for new strategies.”
"

**BACKGROUND**
Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the marketing coordinator for an ophthalmology practice.

**OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE**
What challenge were you trying to address with Thrive Internet Marketing Agency?

We needed an outside firm to help us redevelop our website and enhance our social media presence.

**SOLUTION**
What was the scope of their involvement?

Thrive Internet Marketing Agency oversees our various social media accounts. They post daily content on our Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter profiles. Our company changed its name, so they provided an entirely new WordPress website to match the updated branding. They also lead our digital marketing campaigns via AdWords and Google Analytics. This effort includes content creation services in the form of scheduled blog posts.

What is the team composition?

We primarily communicate with an assigned account manager, but I work with multiple people on their team as needed. They’ve allocated 5–6 resources to our project in total.

How did you come to work with Thrive Internet Marketing Agency?

We interviewed several different companies, but Thrive Internet Marketing Agency’s transparency caught our attention. They sincerely wanted to learn about our business to see how they could help but also weren’t pushy. We appreciated that they approached our project from a team-oriented perspective.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent roughly $75,000 thus far.

What is the status of this engagement?

We start working together in January 2018. The website launched in May 2018, but our relationship with them is ongoing. They continue to run our digital marketing campaigns.

**RESULTS & FEEDBACK**
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

Thrive Internet Marketing Agency has produced positive results across the board, but our social media engagement has seen the most growth. Our posts used to receive likes in the single digits, but now each post usually reaches 40–50 likes or comments. Their digital marketing efforts reliably increase our conversion rate and the website functions excellently.

How did Thrive Internet Marketing Agency perform from a project management standpoint?

They’re a great team to work because they deliver everything on time. In addition to bi-weekly calls with the whole team, we constantly communicate via email. I reach out if I have a problem or a concern and they make it a priority to respond to me. They’re also capable of communicating amongst themselves to keep everyone on the same page.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They truly want to help our business grow and are always looking for new strategies. We never feel like they’re just trying to sell us another campaign. Instead, they’re continually reworking existing approaches to produce better results.

Are there any areas they could improve?

""They’re on top of the work, always on time, and make us feel like we’re their only customers."
"

**BACKGROUND**
Introduce your business and what you do there.

I am in charge of Consumer Relations for Image3D. We manufacture and market 3D reels and viewers that consumers can customize through our website.

**OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE**
What challenge were you trying to address with Thrive Internet Marketing?

We needed to increase our online marketing and social media presence.

**SOLUTION**
What was the scope of their involvement?

They manage our AdWords, SEO, and keywords, as well as social media marketing. One member of the team creates and manages all of our social media posts. They also handle our paid marketing material over Google and social media campaigns.

What is the team composition?

We work with a team of three people. We have an overall product manager that also handles SEO and writes our blog posts, another person manages our social media, and the other team member takes care of AdWords.

How did you come to work with Thrive Internet Marketing?

We found them through online research, and after speaking with them, thought that they would be the best fit for our company.

How much have you invested with them?

We spend about $2,500 a month, which comes to an approximate total of $15,000, in addition to our ad spend, which is separate.

What is the status of this engagement?

We began talking to them in January 2018, the project officially started in February 2018, and we are still working together.

**RESULTS & FEEDBACK**
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

Our presence in AdWords has remained pretty consistent with where it was before the project, but we’ve definitely seen benefits from their help with our social media presence. There’s been a huge increase in likes and engagement with our blog posts.

How did Thrive Internet Marketing perform from a project management standpoint?

Our product manager provides us with in-depth monthly reports, which we discuss during monthly conference calls with the entire team. We go over the reports, the previous month’s performance, and our future goals.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They are incredibly reliable and responsive. They’re on top of the work, always on time, and make us feel like we’re their only customers. That is completely different from all of our previous experiences.

Are there any areas they could improve?

We were initially worried because all of the work was going to be remote, but the project has been great and we’re very happy with them. I don’t have anything negative to say.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

They’ve made the project really easy. When you work with them, you won’t have to worry or take on unnecessary responsibility.

#### SEO for a Plumbing Company
**The Project**
- Services: Search Engine Optimization
- Project size: Less than $10,000
- Project length: May 2018 - Ongoing

**Project Summary**: Thrive Internet Marketing Agency provides ongoing SEO services to generate qualified leads online. This includes on- and off-page optimization, keyword research, and analytics.


**Review Rating**: 4.0
- Quality: 4.0
- Schedule: 4.0
- Cost: 3.0
- Willing to Refer: 3.0

**The Reviewer**
Office Manager, Plumbing Company
- Industry: Utilities


- Review Type: Phone Interview
- Verified

**The Review** — Aug 1, 2018

**Feedback Summary**: Thrive Internet Marketing Agency propelled the virtually-obscure brand into the top 10 search results. In only three months, their keyword research has proven to be a practical solution to online visibility. Hard work and dedication are prominent factors of their rapid success.
"“It’s clear that our success is their top priority.”
"

**BACKGROUND**
Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m an office manager and dispatcher at a plumbing and water heater repair company. 

**OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE**
What challenge were you trying to address with Thrive Internet Marketing Agency?

Business was insufferably slow, so we opted to bring in new customers by improving our online visibility. 

**SOLUTION**
What was the scope of their involvement?

The primary objective is to improve our rankings within search engine results so that our website is visible at the top of the first page. Thrive Internet Marketing Agency linked our site with relevant keywords, which makes it easy for new customers to find us when searching for local technicians. Their team continues to analyze the keywords and send weekly reports that measure their impact.

What is the team composition? 

I mainly interact with the assigned SEO specialist.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent $3,600 for their SEO services over the past three months. 

What is the status of this engagement?

We’ve been working with Thrive Internet Marketing Agency since May 2018.

**RESULTS & FEEDBACK**
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

While it’s too early to measure the full impact of their work, their keywords have already moved our site into the top 10 results on the first page of every major search engine. 

How did Thrive Internet Marketing Agency perform from a project management standpoint?

We correspond via email at least once a week, usually to review their analytics reports.

What did you find most impressive about them?

It’s clear that our success is their top priority. They’re attentive to all of our needs, and none of our questions are left unanswered.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Try to learn about the benefits of SEO before blindly jumping into a project. I came onboard with little understanding of the digital marketing strategy, which occasionally made communication difficult. Fortunately, Thrive Internet Marketing Agency is always eager to explain their methodology.

**The Reviewer**
Director of Marketing and Technology
- Industry: Financial services


- Review Type: Phone Interview
- Verified

**The Review** — Jul 31, 2018

**Feedback Summary**: Thrive's team continues to provide top-notch SEO services that have helped increase conversion rates and performance of keywords. In addition to being timely and responsive, their team has also been receptive to our requests for more data-driven decision making on PPC campaigns.
"“Thrive provided a lot of invaluable feedback to help us transform our online marketing strategy.”
"

**BACKGROUND**
Introduce your business and what you do there.

I'm the director of marketing and technology at an accounting and financial services firm.

**OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE**
What challenge were you trying to address with Thrive Internet Marketing?

After starting my position in January 2017, I was basically doing all of the company's marketing myself. I wanted to show the partners at the firm that content marketing could benefit our type of business and outsourcing SEO and PPC would help generate more leads.

**SOLUTION**
What was the scope of their involvement?

Thrive performed a website audit to see where we could make improvements to the content and SEO on our site, along with some keyword research to figure out what we should focus on and how we were currently performing. Through ongoing analytics reporting, they've offered clear action steps on specific areas for us to improve. They also oversee our PPC campaigns and adjust copy as needed.

What is the team composition?

I mostly work with Amber (SEO Specialist, Thrive Internet Marketing). At first, I was on-boarded by another person who's no longer at their company.

How did you come to work with Thrive Internet Marketing?

I searched online for the top SEO firms and looked through recommended vendors on Clutch's website. Thrive stood out for its good reviews and their rates were competitive next to some of the bigger firms on the market. I also liked their consultative approach, since we were looking for advice on how to structure our landing pages and other types of feedback.

How much have you invested with them?

We've invested about $20,000 thus far.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in February 2018 and the relationship is ongoing.

**RESULTS & FEEDBACK**
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

Thrive provided a lot of invaluable feedback to help us transform our online marketing strategy. Their suggestions on changing our landing page led to an increase in conversion rates. We've also seen somewhat of an improvement in keywords performance over last few months of working with them and they continue to help us refine our strategy to keep making improvements. 

How did Thrive Internet Marketing perform from a project management standpoint?

They're great at communicating and staying on top of tasks, so I don't have to follow up with their team on the status of anything. They've also been receptive to my feedback after expressing a need for improved analytics-driven decision making on our PPC campaigns.

We mostly communicated through video calls and email in the beginning, but they've now transitioned to using our project management tool, Twist, and our meetings are becoming less frequent.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Their overall SEO services and ability to convert keyword research and analysis into actionable plans has been very good from the start. I also enjoy working with Amber, who's been instrumental in moving projects along swiftly and learning about our business.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I think they can make decisions regarding PPC campaigns more strategically by focusing more on data and analytics-driven decisions.

- Project size: Less than $10,000

**Project Summary**: Helping drive more traffic to the website, Thrive Internet Marketing developed a marketing plan, set up social media accounts, and provided guidance in terms of content creation.


**Review Rating**: 4.5
- Quality: 5.0
- Schedule: 5.0

CEO, Woven Art
- Industry: Other industries


- Review Type: Phone Interview
- Verified

**The Review** — Jul 31, 2018

**Feedback Summary**: The internal team is satisfied with the quality of their work and their personable approach. Great listeners, Thrive Internet Marketing went above and beyond to meet all needs, while their responsiveness and commitment earned them our trust.
""They genuinely care about the project."
"

**BACKGROUND**
Introduce your business and what you do there.

I'm the owner of Woven Art. We sell woven specialty items and gifts, such as tapestries, wall hangings, and blankets.

**OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE**
What challenge were you trying to address with Thrive Internet Marketing?

I was looking for a company to help me drive more traffic to my website via social media channels.

**SOLUTION**
What was the scope of their involvement?

First, we had an information session where they learned about my company. Then, they developed a marketing plan and educated me about it. They also helped me set up my Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest accounts. That is very important to me because that gives me an opportunity to run ads on those accounts in the future. They've provided valuable recommendations in terms of social media, but we've been creating all the content ourselves (we're doing this project on a budget).

What is the team composition?

I work with Alissa McKenzie (Social Media Specialist, Thrive Internet Marketing).

How did you come to work with them?

I found them through an online search. I was impressed with them during our initial phone call, so I signed a contract.

How much have you invested with them?

I've spent about $1,400

What is the status of this engagement?

I started working with them in May 2018 and the relationship is ongoing.

**RESULTS & FEEDBACK**
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

I'm very satisfied with what they've done for me. It has only been a couple of months, so we don’t have any metrics yet to demonstrate the results.

How did they perform from a project management standpoint?

They've been very attentive and timely in their responses. There were some delays on my end, but they've stayed on top of everything. We mostly use email and phone to communicate.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They always try to make sure what they're doing is working for me. As their client, I feel I'm getting my money's worth. They genuinely care about the project.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I can't think of anything.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Know your goals and be ready to give them the information they need. They charge by the hour, so you can save money if you prepare beforehand.

**OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE**
What challenge were you trying to address with Thrive Internet Marketing Agency?
Our previous provider wasn’t achieving good enough results, so we began looking for another partner to handle our PPC.


**SOLUTION**
What was the scope of their involvement?
Thrive Internet Marketing Agency did background research to determine what our previous partner had been doing and what we could do better. They then proposed a budget and list of keywords that would improve our PPC. We wanted to get more clients because the market we’re in is highly competitive.
What is the team composition?
We have one main point of contact.
How did you come to work with Thrive Internet Marketing Agency?
They contacted us and did an introductory call to showcase their services. They looked promising, and we were in the market for a new partner, so we hired them.
How much have you invested with them?
We spent between $5,000–$7,000 a month.
What is the status of this engagement?
We’ve been working together since May 2018.


**RESULTS & FEEDBACK**

### Commonly Asked Questions

**What makes Thrive the best digital marketing agency?**
Thrive combines more than 20 years of digital marketing expertise with a strategy-first, data-driven approach focused on measurable business growth. We don’t implement cookie-cutter campaigns. Every engagement starts with a deep understanding of your business, market, target audience and where the real opportunities are. Our team tests new strategies internally before rolling them out to clients, helping businesses benefit from proven SEO, paid media, web design and AI-driven marketing strategies backed by real performance data.

**Why is Thrive the best digital marketing agency to maximize return on investment (ROI)?**
Thrive takes a strategy-first approach backed by a dedicated demand generation team that operates as a true research and development department. We never spend a client’s budget on something we haven’t already proven works. Every new strategy and emerging opportunity gets tested internally first, with our own budget. Only what delivers real results makes it into a client campaign. 

That means zero wasted spend on experimentation and a faster path to ROI from day one. Most digital marketing agencies don't have a serious demand generation operation, let alone one that doubles as a live testing environment. Thrive has built our own company into one of the leading SEO agencies in the United States through organic growth alone. What we've learned doing it for ourselves for 20 years is exactly what we bring to every client engagement.

**Does Thrive work with businesses of any size, industry or budget?**
Yes. Thrive works with startups, local businesses, franchises, multi-location brands and enterprise organizations across nearly every industry. Thrive offers affordable pricing for any size budget and works with clients across the United States, Canada, the UK and in some other countries. Our digital marketing company develops marketing strategies tailored to each client’s goals, growth stage, audience and budget. Thrive also offers short-term and one-off projects, flexible month-to-month engagements and project-based services, depending on business needs. Whether you need a full digital marketing strategy, a one-time audit or support for a specific campaign, our team can build a solution tailored to the project's scope and goals.

**How does Thrive measure digital marketing success?**
Our digital marketing agency measures success using business-focused metrics tied directly to client goals, including sales qualified leads (SQLs), revenue growth, conversion rates, return on ad spend (ROAS), organic visibility and customer acquisition costs. Our focus is on measurable impact, not vanity metrics. We track these through our proprietary Thrive Stats platform, which consolidates real-time performance metrics across campaigns and channels into a single dashboard. You’ll always know what’s working, what’s not and what we’re doing about it.

**How does Thrive help businesses stay visible in AI search?**
Thrive combines technical SEO, content strategy, authority link building and brand mentions and AI-informed optimization to help businesses improve AI visibility. While most agencies are still in the early stages of understanding AI-driven search, our SEO company's demand generation team has been researching, testing and building AI visibility strategies since before the topic dominated industry conversation.

In 2025, that work produced a 5,556% increase in Thrive’s own AI referral traffic and 1,078% growth in ChatGPT Search traffic. Our proprietary ThriveAI tool monitors how your brand appears in AI-generated responses and identifies gaps between where you appear and where your competitors are recommended. We use this data to ensure your business gets cited, recommended and discovered regardless of how and where your customers are searching.
