Our company has been working with Vertical Rail for the past couple of years and our experience with their services has been excellent. Vertical Rail has provided tremendous help in setting up and optimizing our Google Shopping campaign. Their team is always very responsive and a joy to work with!

Equity Marketing Solutions has developed two websites for us. Regarding the first website, they rebuilt an existing website that was getting very poor natural search results. Our business, Platinum Lounge, is a hair salon, and would appear on the bottom of the second page of search results-- which means we basically didn't exist to our potential clients. After they rebuilt the website, we ranked #1 or #2 for most of our important keywords and the average monthly number of new clients we received from the internet jumped from 8 to over 40-- a huge ROI! We hired them to build a website for a new business that we launched a couple of months ago, and we have already made back our investment in new business. Potential clients view our website as professional and informative. And best of all, they trained us on how to maintain and update the content of our website so we can always keep our material current. Melissa is a real gem, Drew is a visionary, and Christine is an excellent manager that keeps their projects moving along smoothly. Bottom line, this firm takes your ideas and builds a website that works and makes you money!
