A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this
client over the phone. Below is an edited
transcript.
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.

The client was unhappy with Thrive Internet Marketing Agency's poor work. The team completely ruined their existing Google Ads campaigns, failed to submit the creatives they paid for, and didn't bother creating any social media ads. The client also noted that the team vanished after getting paid.

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.
We hired Thrive to handle our social media ads, PPC, SEO, and creatives, spending $8,000 of our hard-earned money. What did they deliver? Absolutely nothing. They failed to create any new ads, botched our Google Ads campaign, and completely ignored the scope of work we agreed upon.
Not only did they ruin a perfectly functional Google Ads setup, but they also set our daily spend to an outrageous level we NEVER approved. As a result, our cost per conversion skyrocketed from $35 per day to an unbelievable $950 per day! This disaster unfolded during the busiest, most critical time of the year—Black Friday and Cyber Monday—and they still had the audacity to ignore our urgent requests to fix their mess. 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 Meeting

What 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.

We contracted with Thrive originally as a "full package" marketing project but after about 1 year Covid forced us to reduce our scope of work mostly to Facebook Ad campaigns. We did however invest in upgrading our website because it just was outdated for appeal to the type of clients we were trying to attract. We are very pleased with the redesign of the website and we have a noticeable increase in the number of leads generated.

Thrive Internet Marketing Agency provides SEO and PPC services for a custom software development company. They’ve done keyword research and content optimization and managed the client's Google Ads.
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.
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this
client over the phone. Below is an edited
transcript.
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.
