Having worked with Locus Marketing since 2014, I can wholeheartedly say their expertise has been a game-changer for my VIP Personal Fitness. Their knack for creating lead generation websites has significantly propelled our growth, providing us with a steady stream of organic leads for almost a decade. The recent website overhaul they spearheaded played a pivotal role in generating over $196K in new personal training revenue, a testament to their skill and understanding of our business needs. Their strategic approach to SEO, especially with keyword selection, has not only increased our online visibility but effectively doubled our website traffic, solidifying our presence in the fitness industry. Their consistent results, innovative strategies, and understanding of digital marketing trends have made them an invaluable asset to VIP. I couldn't recommend them more highly to anyone looking to elevate their online presence and business growth.October 20, 2023

Pros:

  • The team at Locus Marketing got who I was and what my business needs were. They did not flinch at the changes that I requested. I was blown away by the recent landing page they created for me.

  • Easy to work with. Offer a lot of online marketing sources.

  • What impressed me most about Locus Marketing was their strategic approach combined with their deep understanding of our business needs. They didn't just provide generic solutions; they delved into our brand's essence, identified our target audience's behavior, and crafted a unique online marketing strategy that boosted our visibility significantly. Their expertise in SEO and lead generation was evident in the results: our traffic doubled, and we experienced a substantial increase in revenue. It wasn't just about numbers, though; they showed genuine dedication to our brand's growth, providing valuable insights and keeping us ahead of digital marketing trends. Their blend of professionalism, innovation, and personalized service is why they're top-notch in digital marketing.

  • They were always professional, knowledgable, and communicative.

Cons:

  • None. I am so happy with the work that was completed!

  • Getting quick reply back. Sometimes takes a few days.

  • When they get busy I wish they could be a bit more responsive.

  • They can be a little faster in response time, as well as be a little clearer on the expectations of the client's role in the process.

Cons:
Locus Marketing has consistently demonstrated a high level of proficiency and commitment, making it challenging to pinpoint any specific shortcomings. If there's one thing they could consider, it's perhaps offering even more educational resources or workshops on the ever-evolving digital marketing landscape. This isn't so much a con as it is an opportunity to augment their already exceptional service. Their current operation, attentiveness, and results-driven approach leave little room for improvement. They've been an invaluable partner in our digital marketing journey.

Overall Experience: Shingo and his team at Locus Marketing have created three websites for my various businesses. Each one got progressively better. His team has always been able to capture who I was and what I wanted to represent. They nailed it on the last project they completed for me. Shingo's team was able to embody everything I asked for in one landing page. The colors, the vibe, and the font incorporate me to a t. The team at Locus Marketing is creative and willing to listen and make changes based on my needs. I have 100% confidence that I will work with Locus Marketing on future projects.

Pros:
There were so many areas that impressed me but if I had to pick one I would say the overall design of our website guides our right fit client on the journey of discovering our strengths and how we might serve them. The website is exactly what I envisioned.
Cons:
I honestly cannot think of anything I would suggest at this point. The initial proposal was laid out very well and established expectations for the journey to completed project. Everything has gone as planned!

Overall Experience: I was referred to Locus Marketing by another happy client. I appreciated the time Shingo and his team took to understand my vision for our company and our website. They were intentional about understanding who our clients are, how we serve our clients and reason we serve. The communication was consistent and the work has been incredible. I am very pleased with our website and the additional services they have provided. Our brand looks professional and competent and we would not be at this point without Locus.

Easy to work with the team. Willing to listen to our feedback and make adjustments.
Cons:
It's difficult to list anything as a con. Perhaps, there could have been better communication at times. But that most likely is due to our team have several people involved during the process.

Overall Experience: Shingo and the Locus Marketing team recently redesigned our website at Float State, and the results were outstanding. They initially built our site four years ago, and it was clear that an upgrade was needed to keep pace with our business growth. The new website they created is not only visually appealing but also highly functional, reflecting our brand's essence. Shingo's leadership and commitment to our project made the process smooth and stress-free. We wholeheartedly recommend Locus Marketing for their dedication, professionalism, and exceptional web development services. They played a significant role in our online success.

Pros:
Customized approach to help us separate ourselves from the competition. Real solutions and good support. Have occasionally needed to expedite some updates for landing pages for sales/events and they've been responsive and able to prioritize my site when needed
Cons:
Occasionally website updates won't be responsive across devices of different (screen) sizes. I was made aware that since my site has been updated dozens of times, it's the layers of code that are interfering with each other but the Locus team has always been able to ultimately clean up the responsiveness issues after an audit

Overall Experience: We have been really satisfied with the whole experience of working with Locus Marketing on our interactive website redesign. They have been conscious of our brand and our needs and receptive to feedback throughout the process of website and interactive elements design. The Locus team created an interactive website design that showcases A!CM well, while allowing our less-than-tech-savvy staff to make small updates and changes as needed. Three years later, they have continued to be responsive to questions. We recommend Locus Marketing highly!
