Key takeaways

  • There is no single best agency for every business. The right one depends on what you need: local leads, a brand campaign, performance media or creative for social.
  • This page compares five Orlando agencies, including ours, using what each one publishes on its own website.
  • It is not a ranking. The agencies appear in alphabetical order, with no positions and no scores.
  • Star ratings and review counts change every week. Check them live on Google before you decide.
  • Disclosure: 57 Clicks wrote this page. We are one of the five, and we say plainly who we fit and who we don’t.

How we built this comparison

We first published this list in August 2025. This version drops the numbered positions and compares the same five agencies on facts you can check yourself.

  • Same five agencies. We kept the agencies from the original list. All are based in Orlando and offer digital marketing.
  • Public sources only. We read each agency’s own website on November 9, 2026 and recorded what it says about its services, its focus and its locations.
  • No scores. We did not test their services or interview their clients, so we don’t assign ratings.
  • No review counts. Google ratings change constantly. Each agency is linked so you can check its current reviews.
  • No payment. No agency paid or asked to be included.
  • Our own results are labeled. The numbers for 57 Clicks come from our published case studies.

Which agency fits which need

Start with the problem you want solved, not with the agency. Here is how the five line up against the most common needs.

You need calls from Google Maps and a website that converts

That is our lane at 57 Clicks: local SEO, web design, Google Ads, social media and video for local service businesses, from four Central Florida offices. South Street & Co. also lists SEO, Google Business Profile and paid search among its services.

You run a law firm or a B2B service company

South Street & Co. names law firms and B2B services as two of the three groups it helps, along with home service providers. If you are in one of those, its case studies are the place to start.

You need brand campaigns, PR or media planning

Appleton Creative describes itself as a full-service marketing agency with more than three decades of work, and it lists media and public relations, research and strategy, and video and animation among its services. Those are services we don’t offer.

You manage many locations and want senior marketing leadership

Chatter Buzz Media presents itself as a performance marketing agency led by fractional CMOs, with offices in Orlando, Tampa and New York. Its site lists multi-location and franchise brands, financial services, healthcare and real estate among the industries it serves.

You want creative and social work for a brand

321 The Agency describes itself as a full-service creative agency based in Orlando with a remote-first team. Its six core services include brand development, social media, and content strategy and design.

Where 57 Clicks fits, and where we don’t

We are a good fit if you own a local business or a multi-location brand and want one team for Google Maps, your website, ads, social media and video. We have more than ten years of experience, a 5.0 rating on Google and we work month to month, without long contracts.

Our video work was named 2025 Reader’s Choice Winner – Best Videographer (Four Corners Sun). The story is in our awards post.

We are not the right choice for a national brand campaign, a public relations program or large-scale media buying. The agencies above that list those services are better placed for that work.

Bring the ten questions below. We will answer each one with numbers.

How to verify any agency’s results

Ask for access to your own Google Analytics, Google Business Profile and Google Ads accounts, not just a monthly PDF. A serious agency gives you direct access to the data.

Look for tracked outcomes: phone calls, form submissions, direction requests on Google Maps and revenue where it can be attributed. If an agency reports impressions and clicks but can’t connect them to leads, it is reporting vanity metrics. Ask for two or three references in your industry, and call them.

10 questions to ask before you hire

Walk every agency through these, ours included. The quality of the answers tells you more than any sales presentation.

  1. Can you show me results for a client in my industry and my market? Metrics, not a logo wall.
  2. Who will work on my account day to day, and what is their experience?
  3. Do I own my website, my Google Business Profile, my ad accounts and my data if I cancel?
  4. What will month 1, month 3 and month 6 look like in deliverables and expected results?
  5. How do you track and report leads, not just traffic and rankings?
  6. How are you adapting to Google AI Overviews and AI-powered local search?
  7. How do you manage reviews, and how do you handle negative ones?
  8. What is included in the fee, and what costs extra?
  9. How long is the contract, and how do I cancel?
  10. Can I speak with two or three current clients before I sign?

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

Still have a question? Call (407) 974-6620

There is no single answer. The best agency is the one whose strengths match your need: local lead generation, brand creative, performance media or public relations. Compare what each agency publishes about its services and results, read its current Google reviews and ask for references in your industry.

For local search and Google Maps, a local agency usually has the advantage: it knows the neighborhoods, the competitors and the way people here search. A business whose customers come from specific zip codes benefits from that. National firms make more sense for national brands with national budgets.

You should be able to see calls, form submissions, direction requests and, where possible, revenue tied to the work, inside accounts you own. Reports that stop at impressions and clicks don’t answer the question. Ask how each lead is tracked from first click to sale.

The ones doing it well build complete, well-structured content: service pages that answer real questions, FAQ sections and consistent business information across the web. AI answers draw on sources that cover a topic clearly. Ask any agency how it measures visibility in AI results and what it changed in the last year.

It varies. Some ask for six or twelve months, others work month to month. Ask before you sign, and ask what happens to your website, your ad accounts and your data if you cancel. At 57 Clicks we work month to month, without long contracts.
