Testimonials
Don’t take our word for it.
Here’s what our clients have to say.
“My old website was embarrassing. They built me something I'm actually proud to show clients. Plus the Google stuff — I finally show up when people search for CPAs in my area.”
K. Liu
Owner · K. Liu Accounting
“We were spending $3k/month on ads with nothing to show for it. Automata rebuilt our site and SEO from scratch. Six months in, we're getting 40+ leads a month organically.”
D. Ramirez
Managing Partner · Ramirez & Associates Law
“They took a process that used to take my office manager two hours a day and turned it into something that runs itself. The booking system alone was worth it.”
S. Patel
Owner · Glow Medical Spa
“I've worked with three agencies before these guys. First team that actually delivered what they said they would, on time. Site went live in under two weeks.”
M. Torres
General Contractor · Torres Construction Group
“Our old site looked like it was from 2012. Now clients actually compliment it in meetings. The whole thing feels premium and it loads instantly on mobile.”
J. Whitfield
Financial Advisor · Whitfield Wealth Management
“Went from page 4 on Google to top 3 for every keyword that matters in our market. The phone rings now. That's all I care about.”
R. Nguyen
Owner · Nguyen Family Dental
“They built us a custom dashboard so we can see exactly where every lead comes from. No more guessing which marketing is working. Huge difference for us.”
A. Brooks
Director of Operations · Summit Roofing Co.
“Honestly didn't think a small agency could pull off what the big shops quoted us $80k for. They did it better and for a fraction of the cost. No-brainer.”
L. Chen
Co-Founder · BrightPath Tutoring
