Small Agency

Persist describes itself as "a small digital agency with a select set of clients…" that has grown almost 100 percent from referrals. With its smaller size, the company emphasizes transparency, open communication, and tailored solutions. Persist Digital will help clients develop goals, strategies, and brands.

The company's website even states that it plans to stay a small scale agency. It wants to keep a personal touch with all clients.

While monthly reporting is provided, the Persist team also communicates with clients on any urgent matters with tools like Slack, Trello, Zoom, and WhatsApp.

The team acts as a strategic partner and doesn't make moves that your company doesn't want. It will ask for your approval, document any communication, and respect your priorities.

Persist even states that it won't take on a competitor while it is working with you.

• No Guarantees or Refunds
• Not the Cheapest Agency

No Guarantees or Refunds

Persist Digital does not offer refunds or guarantees. While some may see this as a negative, there are a few things to take into account. First, seeing results from SEO takes time. Second, before you see results, many many hours of work have been put in by a marketing agency's team. Guarantees and outlandish ranking claims can be seen as red flags to avoid. While we love to see a guarantee, some guarantees can lead to low quality content, and less-than-reputable SEO practices.

Not the Cheapest Agency

While Persist is a small digital marketing agency, and its prices are competitive, if you are purely looking for the lowest priced SEO and digital marketing services possible, this is not a good fit. However, if you are looking for a strategic partner that will work with you and provide high quality results, while still being upfront about pricing and services, you should contact Persist Digital for a consultation and estimate.
