SmartBug Media's team is fantastic. They are data-driven, well-versed in best marketing practices, and they put their money where their mouth is. Too often, marketer companies talk a big game only to waste your time. This is not the case with SmartBug. Any issue we've had they have quickly corrected and are always ensuring they are adding value to our bottom line. We look for ROI, not "views" or "likes," and SmartBug gets this. If you are looking for an extension of your marketing team or you even want them to be your marketing team, you should give them a call.”

SmartBug was great from the moment we contacted them to the moment our new site went live. They have a very methodical process in place to ensure that they really understand your business, objectives and needs and are able to translate that to website design. They really took a lot of time to learn about our business and demonstrated genuine interest in it. The entire team was a pleasure to work with, very responsive and proactive and really earned to be labeled as "partners" vs "vendor". ”

Huge thanks to Ryan, Ben, and the entire SmartBug team. A more responsive, supportive, and friendly partner you will not find. We did our homework before choosing SmartBug and can say they're absolutely competitive in terms of pricing (more than competitive), but without comparison in terms of ease of working with. We rebuilt our website, choosing to go with their marketplace templates. We then retained them to semi-customize. We were just starting to drink the HubSpot Kool-Aid and learning inbound ... and the SmartBug team was there riding shotgun with us the whole way, coaching us on everything from designing CTAs to blogging best practices. Everyone there was extremely responsive to our requests, their work quality is high, and they always over-deliver. We will definitely retain them for future work, I have no doubt. Thanks again, SmartBug!”
