Score breakdown

Website Presence

Weight: 20%

88/100

Cardinal has a substantive website presence based on its homepage, about, contact, and terms pages, with clear healthcare-focused positioning, detailed service coverage (paid media, SEO, website design, analytics, forecasting, RevRx™), and published contact information including a physical Atlanta address and phone number, though no email contact was provided in the evidence.

Search Visibility

Weight: 20%

52/100

Search visibility evidence is thin: the bundle only confirms cardinaldigitalmarketing.com has existed since November 2015 and was updated in June 2026, but provides no traffic, keyword rankings, backlink, or SERP performance data, so this should be scored conservatively.

Trust & Credibility

Weight: 20%

79/100

Credibility is supported by verifiable firmographics (founded 2009, Atlanta address, 51-200 employees on LinkedIn), a BBB business profile with an A+ rating, and positive third-party reviews on Clutch and G2, but review volume is still limited and BBB customer review details were not verifiable from the evidence.

Market Presence

Weight: 15%

74/100

Cardinal shows a solid but not dominant footprint through its own website, LinkedIn presence, BBB listing, and profiles on Clutch and G2, plus a clear specialization in healthcare marketing for multi-location providers, though the evidence does not show broader reach metrics, awards, or extensive multi-platform visibility.

Customer Satisfaction

Weight: 10%

81/100

Customer satisfaction appears strong from the available review evidence—Clutch shows 5.0/5 from 4 reviews and G2 shows 5.0/5 from 1 review, with praise for ROI, responsiveness, communication, and expertise—but the sample is small and platform coverage is limited, with no verified Trustpilot, Google, or Capterra presence.

Pricing

  • Pricing model: Custom-quoted monthly retainer for ongoing digital marketing/advertising management, with contracts defining a maximum monthly fee; may also include media markup. Third-party directories also list project-based minimums and hourly rate bands.
  • Starting price: $5,000+ project minimum
  • Typical range: $3,000-$15,000/month
  • Billing: Primarily monthly fees billed at the end of each calendar month, per the agency’s terms; credit card payments incur a 3% processing fee, and Cardinal states it may charge incremental media markup fees up to 25% on media accounts.
  • Contract terms: Contract required/custom quote; one third-party source flags 'Contract: Y', but no public minimum term length was found on Cardinal’s own site.

What's included

  • Paid media / PPC management
  • SEO
  • Conversion rate optimization
  • Website design
  • Content marketing
  • Social media marketing
  • Email marketing
  • Advertising / strategic planning
  • Analytics / business intelligence
  • Performance creative

Cardinal Digital Marketing’s own site does not publish package prices or rate cards, but its Terms & Conditions clearly indicate a monthly-fee contract model and disclose a 3% credit-card processing fee plus possible media markup of up to 25%. Concrete dollar figures were found mainly on reputable third-party directories: Clutch lists a $5,000+ minimum project size and $100-$149/hr average hourly rate, while Carezano lists an estimated $3,000-$15,000/month range and Agency Source also lists $5,000+ minimum project size with $100-$149/hr. Because the monthly range appears to be a third-party estimate rather than a figure published by Cardinal itself, buyers should treat it as directional and expect custom quoting based on scope, budget, and channel mix.

Reviews & reputation

Cardinal Digital Marketing has a visible third-party review presence on Clutch, G2, and BBB, but I could not verify listings for Trustpilot, Google, or Capterra in search results. Where review text was visible, the feedback was strongly positive and emphasized results, responsiveness, communication, transparency, and digital marketing expertise; the small sample size and limited platform coverage should be noted.

      While not Cardinal's fault, the last year has been difficult for scheduling in-person meetings.
