Phenomenal communication and service! So pleased, big shout out to Melissa who was amazing throughout.

Brian Simmons

★★★★★

Link Digital is a really great company to work with, Mark certainly knows his stuff. I highly recommend all of the team. Many thanks.

Adam T

★★★★★

Link Digital are superb in all aspects. Our previous web developer favourite words were "chargeable" even for things that were not right from the get go... as soon as the site went live there was no support and bills kept raining down... so we looked to change more out of frustration rather than necessity... But so glad we did! Working with Link Digital was easy going and together we got a more functional site, better loading speeds and all round better results from our site than ever before. Link Digital handled the new website design plus on going do our SEO and Adwords management and I will give them 10/10 in every area. The most important factor though is we have seen a substantial increase to business since working with LinkDigital. Highly recommended.

Wes Pierce

★★★★★

Great service, have driven up google search rankings and are a pleasure to work with.

Sam Ward

★★★★★

Worked with Mark across several sites now. The whole LinkDigital team is brilliant and easy to work with. The websites we have them manage have all seen increases in sales/leads and our adword spend, returns so much more now. Since employing LinkDigital for our SEO management as well, organic placement is up, with us seeing 1st page hits across many of our keywords in competitive markets. Google analytics all aspects have been increasing and most importantly all this has resulted in increased turnover and profits. Worth every penny of investment and more.
