    The reviewer describes the assigned team as inexperienced and says they had to prompt the agency for ideas and direction.

    1mention
  • Poor issue resolution

Pricing

  • Pricing model: Custom-quoted digital marketing agency engagements, most plausibly sold as project-based work and/or ongoing service retainers for SEO, PPC, CRO, digital PR, content, design, and development. Public evidence does not show fixed packages or public self-serve prices; directory listings point to a minimum project budget rather than standardized plans.
  • Starting price: $1,000+ project minimum
  • Typical range: $1,000+ per project
  • Billing: Custom quote; likely project-based and ongoing monthly service engagements depending on scope. Public directories show a minimum project budget, while the agency site describes ongoing delivery and monthly reporting but does not publish fees.

What's included

  • SEO
  • PPC / paid marketing
  • CRO & UX
  • Content marketing
  • Digital PR
  • Web design and development
  • Audits
  • Strategy
  • Reporting

I found concrete public pricing information, but only at the directory/listing level: multiple third-party profiles tied to evolvedsearch.com publish a minimum project budget of $1,000+, while hourly rates are undisclosed or listed as 'inquire'. Evolved Search's own website does not appear to publish package prices, retainers, setup fees, or hourly rates on the pages surfaced; instead it emphasizes tailored strategy, audits, and ongoing performance work with daily or monthly reporting. Treat the $1,000+ figure as a directory-published minimum project threshold, not necessarily a figure published directly by Evolved Search on its own site.

Process

How Evolved Search actually works, reconstructed from customer reviews and third-party write-ups.

Evidence is too thin to reconstruct a fully detailed week-by-week client journey, but the available material suggests Evolved Search sells an integrated performance-marketing engagement, then hands clients to an account team that works collaboratively across SEO/content/digital PR/CRO, implements work, tracks outcomes, and continues refining campaigns. The only direct review evidence located is negative about the sales-to-delivery handoff, so the process below is grounded but should be treated as partial rather than comprehensive.

  1. 1

    Engage through a sales-led pitch

    The clearest customer account says the experience began with a strong sales process that set expectations and showcased example work such as "Hero Pieces" before the client signed. Evolved’s own site also invites prospects to submit details about what they want to discuss, indicating a consultation-led start.

  2. 2

    Hand off to the account management team

    After signing, the Trustpilot reviewer says they were handed from sales to the account management team that would run the work. This handoff is the most explicit evidence of how delivery starts on the client side.

  3. 3

    Absorb the client’s business and objectives

    Multiple client testimonials on Evolved’s services page say the team was interested in the business from the start, grasped the brand and industry complexities, and worked like an extension of the client team. Evolved also describes its work as integrating with the client team and using audience-first, data-driven strategy.

  4. 4

    Build a combined search strategy

    Evolved’s site says it combines technical enhancements, content enrichments, and digital PR outreach within a broader SEO strategy, while its paid and CRO pages describe customised, data-driven recommendations tied to client objectives. In practice, the engagement appears to be planned as a cross-channel performance program rather than a single isolated tactic.

  5. 5

    Execute specialist work across channels

    Client testimonials describe Evolved tackling technical problems, creating content, designing better conversion solutions, implementing those changes, and delivering news coverage and links. Evolved’s own materials on link building say campaigns are bespoke, start from scratch for each client, and rely on content creation plus outreach to relevant publications.

  6. 6

    Track performance and refine the work

    One client testimonial explicitly says Evolved helped implement a solution, track its success, and offer further refinements so the page could continue to be optimised. Other testimonials emphasise ongoing optimisation, flexibility, and communication, which suggests delivery continues through iteration rather than a one-off project drop.

    The single visible Trustpilot review is strongly negative. The reviewer says the sales process created high expectations, but delivery, account management, and issue resolution fell well short of what was promised.

      A cautionary tale!

      Evolved Search and their sub company Upshift gave an impressive show of the sales process but ultimately left me feeling let down.

    • Travis Coleman · Director1.0

      In short I feel I had a bad experience with a supplier who when faced with an unhappy client, chose not to try to go the extra mile to rectify the situation but instead chose to fight me to the last.
