We hired Toporin Studio to help with our marketing so we could attract and retain new customers.
What was the scope of their involvement?
I've provided Toporin Studio with an outline of my goals, including the number of clients I want and the services I want to promote. Their team is now using that information to inform their content marketing strategy for my Facebook page. Toporin Studio runs my Google Ads campaigns.

What is the team composition?
I've only worked with Maksym (Owner), but I know another teammate from Toporin Studio is working on my project.
How did you come to work with Toporin Studio?
I found Toporin Studio through their Facebook advertisements. I hired them because we're both Ukrainian — it was important that we had the same work mentality and spoke the same language. I also appreciated that their team was younger and up-to-date on the newest trends.

Our engagement with Toporin Studio began in April 2021, and it's ongoing.

Web Development & SEO for an Appliance Repair Company
"They’re honest about the process, including the time needed to see an SEO increase."
the reviewer
the review
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I’m a customer service manager for an appliance repair company located in Seminole, Florida. We service Pinellas County and Tampa Bay. I also deal with all our marketing in terms of getting leads, managing the budget, communicating with lead providers, and so on.
What challenge were you trying to address with Toporin Studio?
We were building a new website. We already had one, but we wanted to make it more customer-oriented. We were also interested in SEO marketing and improving our conversions through the website.
What was the scope of their involvement?
Toporin Studio has created a new website for us. From there, we’ve hired them for Google advertising, and they’ve also taken over our Yelp page.
What is the team composition?
We always talk to one person, but I think more people are involved. They probably have one person for SEO and one for Google Ads.
How did you come to work with Toporin Studio?
Our owners knew each other. We set up a meeting to discuss what we needed and what could be done. They seemed to know what they were doing; they told us the budget we’d need for the number of leads we were looking for.
Other marketing companies promise the world. They’ll promise 500 customers in one month, and after one month, there are only 100 customers. If we ask them why, they say that our budget was only enough for 100, even though they’d promised 500 before. However, we didn’t have that problem with Toporin Studio. They told us directly how much it would cost us and didn’t give us empty promises.
How much have you invested with them?
So far, the total cost is around €4,200 (approximately $5,000 USD).
What is the status of this engagement?
They started working on our website in August 2021, but they’d offered us consultation services before this. We plan to work with them further.
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
Since Toporin Studio took over, our Yelp and Google My Business conversions have increased. Before the new website, we’d have about six customer bookings online per month. Now, we’re getting over 30 bookings per month. The site has become one of our top lead sources, along with Google Ads and Google Local.
Moreover, everybody loves the way the new site looks, and I love it as well.
How did Toporin Studio perform from a project management standpoint?
They send us reports at the end of each month. We set up monthly meetings to discuss what’s needed, what can be improved, and so on.
What did you find most impressive about them?
They don’t promise great results from the beginning. They’re honest about the process, including the time needed to see an SEO increase.
Are there any areas they could improve?
There are always areas for improvement, but we’re satisfied with Toporin Studio so far.
Do you have any advice for future clients of theirs?
I recommend contacting Maksym (Founder) and starting to work with them.

They were attentive to the project and always responded to me. They also addressed and implemented my input and vision into their first draft of the website design. In addition to that, Toporin Studio corrected the issues presented in the final stages of the site’s development — I’m pleased with the final product I received from them.

the review
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I’m the CEO of SD Quality Moving. I also work at Arome — a startup focused on providing advice for biotech and pharmaceutical companies on how to do their research. We’re a provider for data acquisition, data analysis, and advising and consulting on particular biotech and pharmacy projects.
What challenge were you trying to address with Toporin Studio?
Since this is not an ordinary business and is a new type of field, we needed a website that could handle heavy information.
What was the scope of their involvement?
Our industry requires a lot of research and digging to understand, but they navigated through it quickly and picked up the information that we provided. From there, they assembled a website with navigation and such. It’s still in development, but they’re using their own C++ code to add custom forms and it’s based on WordPress.
For our moving business, too, they still provide SEO, backlinking, content and keyword optimization efforts, and online advertising, including Google Ads. They are ensuring the website will be indexed highly. They’ve created custom email campaigns and compiled our database of users into a single spreadsheet to send automatic emails.
What is the team composition?
I work with two people from their team and I have a central point of contact.
How did you come to work with Toporin Studio?
He came through a referral for another company I have. They developed a website for an affiliate business and I saw it and asked for a referral.
How much have you invested with them?
In total, for all of the work they’ve done, we’ve spent around $10,000.
What is the status of this engagement?
We started working together in July 2019 and our engagement is ongoing.
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
The number of new users, recurrent users, and entries into the forms have all gone up significantly since we started working together. On the other projects, we’ve seen a 20%-30% increase in new visitors.
How did Toporin Studio perform from a project management standpoint?
They’re really great, actually. They’re flexible on their price, creating a quote, and negotiating well. They are strict about timelines and use Trello to keep track of everything on the panels, showing us where things are in the process. Everything is completed in a timely manner.
What did you find most impressive about them?
They are a top-notch company — they are on top of things and know what they’re doing. He earns my business every time because they know what is happening with search engines since it’s so critical for web developers to understand things that are constantly changing.
Are there any areas they could improve?
They could expand and hire more people at this point.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
Email him and specify your goals for the project. They will work with you and provide different avenues to proceed with. Let them know if you want things to be simple or something more involved with SEO. Be honest and open about your goals from the beginning.
