Feedback summary:

I've been working with Straight North since December of 2020 and it's been a great experience! Perhaps my favorite part is having a dedicated account rep- I've been very lucky to have Greg Kelly assigned to my account! He and the rest of his team have been a true pleasure to work with across both SEO and PPC campaigns.

Feedback summary:

Straight North goes beyond being a great agency partner. The Straight North team is a group of talented, professional revenue drivers. Having worked with Straight North to promote two mid-cap companies and two enterprise level firms, I have seen them set up programs and drive real SEM, SEO, PPC results from the ground up, time and time again. I'm not sure I would want to be a demand gen marketer without them.

I've worked with Greg Kelly at Straight North since 2018. Greg has been instrumental in our team's success with organic SEO and PPC campaigns. Straight North has taken us from very low domain authority and inconsistent SERP rank to being more established and in the top 3 spots.

We recently built a new company website working with Straight North. It looks better than ever! We are incredibly satisfied with how it turned out. Working with the team was just that - a team. I felt that the Straight North team listened to our needs every step of the way and worked with us to ensure we got what we wanted in the end. Would 100% work with them again in the future.

Feedback summary:

Our team at Straight North does a fantastic job, both in SEO and PPC. They've taken the time to understand our unique business needs and challenges instead of giving us "one-size-fits-all" strategy (like a lot of other companies do). They are proactive, happy to "do" (not just "suggest"), have great follow-up and I trust them - which for me is the most important. I am never concerned about them doing anything less than high quality work that will benefit our company in the long term.

Straight North is an exceptionally professional, well-run internet marketing agency. We recently created a new website and couldn't have realized such great results without their guidance and insight. The Straight North team spent time learning our business and finding the best way to communicate our mission verbally and visually. The team kept us on track and executed beautifully. So glad we worked with them, and we'd recommend them to anyone looking to create or expand their internet presence.

Feedback summary:

They are thorough, detailed, and completely transparent in how they proceed during an SEO project. I am being kept up to date on a regular basis regarding the next steps that are being planned and given the opportunity to provide input and feedback. At the beginning of the project, I was told very clearly what to expect during the first 4 to 6 months and by the end of the 12-month SEO project contract that I signed. After 4.5 months into the project, it is obvious that the stated targets were realistic and are being met. I interact with the Straight North team through Sara Rowles, the account manager for my project, who is very responsive and a pleasure to work with. I am very pleased with all aspects of my experience with Straight North. I recommend their SEO services very highly.

Straight North was the perfect partner for us as we entered a strong growth phase. The team at Straight North worked hand-in-hand with our marketing and sales teams to understand our requirements. It may sound trite that they understood our goals, but it is true. Their business people have so much experience in seeing a company at one phase, and helping their clients moving on up. Thank you team SN!

We worked with Straight North on a consulting basis and they helped our marketing department immensely. Not only were they able to understand our needs they were able to customize it to fit exactly what we needed. They were also very good at working on a fast paced scheduled since we contacted them on short notice. We would easily work with them again - they are a great marketing source.

Feedback summary:

Honest and helpful. Matt from Straight North was able to assess my business needs and after discussion he honestly told me that with the demographics I'd want to reach and the money it would cost it would not be a solid investment. There are few companies out there who would have such integrity instead of taking out hundreds/thousands of dollars per month from a small business. Nothing is guaranteed in marketing but I'm happy to know that a company like this is not about the bottom dollar - and instead values the ability to deliver to their clients. While we are not looking for mass expansion at this time, we will be calling Straight North when we are ready to take that step. Thank you for the advice and feedback!

Aaron Wittersheim and his team at Straight North designed a website that propelled my charter business beyond all local competitors in the area. The positive results that come with a professionally designed Straight North website are incredible! I saw an immediate increase in sales and my business doubled in the course of just 1 year. I would highly recommend Straight North to anyone looking to take their business to the next level. Capt. Rob Dixon Challenger Charters

Straight North has done a wonderful job managing our campaigns. We have been a client for close to a decade. Sharp people, they have been easy to work with. When we work on projects they already know where I am headed most of the time, so that makes the process easy.

There really isn't enough I can say about working with Straight North. From Ian Stevenson (VP Sales) to Ann Hambry (our project director) and every team member we met for discovery: They are professional, timely, creative, easy to work with and extremely organized! A key point that made them stand apart from other firms I interviewed to work with: They are honest, they explain things that I may not understand in terms that I could in order to help me make the best decision for our company. Bottom line they didn't try to sell me on things we didn't need, have a genuine interest in seeing your company succeed - which is smart - and why I have decided to work with them on two new projects this year. Very hard to balance the chaos of creativity and organization - they do it - seemingly effortlessly.

Straight North are the consummate pro's. After speaking to several firms on SEO and never feeling confident my business would be in qualified and capable hands, Straight North was a breath of fresh air. They are thorough and professional in all they do. Two website redesigns and an SEO campaign later, I would recommend them without hesitation.

Feedback summary:

straight north is bunch of crooks .I reached out to them and allocated healthy budget for our SEO. I paid $9k first month and they made me sign contract for $6k every month for next six months.The kind of work they did was sub standard and my team would have to always go back and correct it .Now we not only paying them exorbitant money but wasting our time also.Needless to say our business started declining and i reached out to them in frustration fully realizing that SEO is a slow process to be told that no matter what you have contract signed for 6 month and that i have to pay them .I wrote email stating how can i pay my bills if my business is going down but they don"t care i encourage people to not sign any contract with this company .They will do horrible job and hold you down to your contract .|There are much better companies out there .These guys are not adequately trained to handle anything and you wont get anything close to what you paying for

Our company Pro Stock Hockey has been using Straight North for our PPC and SEO campaigns and could not be happier at this point. Straight North is a very professional and an extremely knowledgable group and they know exactly how to get you results where it counts. So far our results speak volumes to the knowledge and expertise of Straight North and it's employees.

Matthew from straight north was incredibly helpful. He gave me honest feedback and told me he wouldn't be able to help with my very small business instead he gave me some good suggestions in order to accomplish what I need to with our website. He also suggested an associate who could help me with one aspect in which I needed help. When our conversation was drawing to a close I asked him what I owed for all of the terrific information, and he said nothing! I spoke with other companies looking for quotes around the same time and they were all high pressure, and offered no help. When I need and can afford these services I will use Straight North, and highly recommend them. Thank You Matthew!
