Solutions for Growth

Solutions for Growth has been a fundamental part of expanding my company. Not only have they helped me in polishing my website, but they've also worked with me on optimizing my Google Ad presence. Moreover, it's been great working with David, Christine, and Sarah, and I highly recommend you do so, too.

I reached out to David Fischer at Solutions for Growth to ask for his insight into what we could do to strengthen our marketing at a not-for-profit where I chair the Board. Before we even met, David had taken the initiative of thoroughly reviewing our website and had suggestions to increase our visibility. He had also visited our property (the organization is an arboretum and garden). Once we met, he made further suggestions and asked for access to our email accounts to see what we had been doing in reaching out to our email list and the response we were getting. Within a week, he had a list of suggested improvements, many of which we were able to implement immediately. Engagement with both email and website improved very soon thereafter. He also stayed engaged and will ocassionally reach out with more suggestions. I absolutely recommend David and his team and will certainly use them in the future.

David and Christine at Solutions for Growth have been excellent partners for us in developing our pay per click advertising strategy, especially as we expand our business into new geographic areas. The team here is proactive, thoughtful, and responsive to our business needs and I'm grateful to have them!

David Fischer is an exceptional salesman. He will literally jump to meet with you if he thinks he can make a sale. Sadly, that is where the exceptional service with Solutions for Growth starts and ends. I hired David and his team to help me with digital marketing for the sole purpose of generating serious inquiries for my business via SEO and other digital marketing services they felt would be effective. First off, David is a nickel-and-dimer- every little thing will cost you extra. While I understand the need to make money, this results in a situation in which every team member is operating in their own lane- this person for SEO, another person for google ads, yet another for constant contact- but no one was seemingly working together on a singular strategy for my business. Christine, the digital marketing director, talked me into spending several thousand dollars on google ads (currently totalling $2567) since SEO would take some time, and they told me google ads would be a quick way to generate clicks and inquiries. I have now spent over $6000 in 3.5 months on David’s marketing services, which does not include the $2600 google ad spend, and I literally have NOTHING to show for it. Google Ads was a complete bust and generated ZERO inquires, and after 2+ months of ineffective google ads, I was told that those thousands of dollars and efforts were really to “collect data.” Say what?! They had already charged me a "research fee" to setup my google ads account, and I would never have spent a dollar on google ads had they been honest and up front. I believe David and his team are unethical and simply want to make sales. Additionally, I had not yet had my business verified by google due to a recent move, and Solutions for Growth never informed me that SEO efforts would be much less effective without first being verified by google business. Lastly, I just found out that after spending thousands on these digital marketing professionals, they never even linked my Google analytics and blamed me, saying I never gave them access when they never asked for it or informed me that they could not do their job properly without it. I deeply regret hiring Solutions for Growth- I am out many thousands of dollars and have nothing to show for it. I am currently disputing some of the charges since they misled me and acted negligently, and I am pursuing various avenues of recourse as well.

We've had the pleasure of working with Solutions for Growth for several years, and they are an integral part of the marketing team for our small business. Our e-mail marketing, organic and paid social media campaigns are crucial to our success, and Solutions for Growth provides true done-for-you solutions with a hyper-local feel. Very highly recommended.
