Alicia SerratoYou know, we know a fair share of SEO agencies that talk the talk but don’t walk the walk. We’ve been burned by bloated results, extremely slow results, and rates that seem to inflate every single day!
Now that we know better, we’ve met with a few SEO agencies in the past and can finally say which ones are actually worth the investment.
We’ve connected with these agencies one way or another (sometimes services, sometimes consultations), so we can share our insights working with each one. We also interviewed other clients, because we want to match our experience with others.

FOG Digital Marketing stood out to us with its 15 years of experience offering personalized services to mid-sized companies.
We liked that it takes enough time to understand business goals to craft SEO plans, which enables them to introduce their comprehensive range of services. This includes SEO, web design, and logo design, among others.
Clients we interviewed noted that the agency could integrate multiple strategies into one plan, enabling them to see immediate results.
Local SEO is a strong suit, too, as their expertise is particularly beneficial for businesses targeting customers in San Antonio. They specialize in optimizing Google My Business profiles, which can drive higher local traffic and in-store visits for clients.
However, one issue that surfaced during our search was occasional service delays, with clients reporting slow response times. It’s not a constant issue, but it’s worth noting for clients who may prefer consistent follow-ups.
Delivers results
“I have known Fernando for over a year and have spoken to several of his clients. They all have nothing but the best things to say about him and his SEO and website expertise. He has many clients that have been with him over 7 years which is a testament in itself, clients will not continue with an online marketer who does not deliver results. For these reasons, I have sent my referrals to Fernando and his team and they are always impressed with him and their services.”

After reviewing Citywide SEO, we found that they have a solid track record, with over 40 years of combined experience. They also service multiple sectors, including tech and medical, customizing strategies based on the industry.
One of their best aspects is their full suite of digital marketing services, which covers SEO, marketing automation, and more. In particular, clients value their user-friendly websites, which helped them boost engagement.
We also like their approach to Facebook marketing. Their campaigns focus on brand awareness and lead generation, which makes them ideal for clients who need targeted ads that convert through social media channels.
While they offer a strong range of services, some clients reported slower-than-expected results. However, it’s important to also keep in mind that SEO takes time, and those who need instant traffic boosts can also request specific services from Citywide.

3. SOP Digital Solutions, Inc.
Location: 5618 Timberhurst
Contact: +1 210-595-0020
Opening Hours: Monday – Friday: 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM
One of the best things about SOP Digital Solutions is their comprehensive SEO services that allow them to optimize websites. Client pointed out to us that their sites are always optimized to be user-friendly, mobile responsive, and drive conversions.
Looking into their services, we find them ideal for local businesses that want to attract physical traffic from local customers. This is because they specialize in local SEO and Google Maps optimization, which both help drive local conversion.
We also found their marketing automation service valuable, as this helps clients nurture leads and streamline follow-ups without investing much time and energy.
Additionally, they’re a solid choice for those who want to build brand awareness. They achieve this by focusing on Facebook marketing, which is particularly useful for real estate investors and service-based businesses.
Their rates can be expensive, though, depending on the range and scope of the plan. We recommend clarifying these terms during the consultation to ensure transparent pricing.

Contact: +1 210-757-3522
Opening Hours: Monday – Saturday: 9:00 AM – 6:00 PM
Website
When it comes to expertise, Funnel Boost Media got our attention with its local SEO service. They specialize in helping service-based businesses such as law firms, home improvement companies, and healthcare providers.
Looking at their case studies, we were impressed to find that their optimization strategies generated up to 50% more leads. Although this isn’t consistent across all clients, it’s reassuring to find that they have the capacity to achieve the feat.
We also liked that Funnel Boost Media provides detailed marketing reports to ensure businesses are kept in the loop with results. They’ve helped over 750 clients as of writing, which confirms our understanding that these reports help create trust and satisfaction.
However, the pricing can be a little too high for some, especially for small businesses. Fortunately, plans are customizable, and clients can simply request the strategies they need.

5. Grow Marketing
Location: Hunters Cir, San Antonio
Contact: +1 210-860-0499
Opening Hours: Monday – Friday: 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM
Website
One of the biggest advantages we found while working with Grow Marketing is that there is no contract involved. This means that clients can leave anytime they want if they find that their marketing needs have changed.
We also liked that they give their clients complete ownership of their websites. This means that even if they end their relationship with Grow Marketing, the client will still have full access to the site.
In terms of SEO, the agency focuses their strategies on long-term techniques. Among others, they offer on-page optimization, keyword research, and backlink strategies. They’re also knowledgeable about Google Ads for those who want immediate results.
Just take note that more sophisticated services can be costly, which can be difficult for startups to afford. We do appreciate that they’re upfront with their rates, so there’s no guessing when it comes to transparency.
