Score breakdown

Website Presence

Weight: 20%

77/100

The website evidence shows a clear, professional offering with a tagline, detailed description, multiple business units, and a substantial services list on godigital.com, plus visible contact details (address and info@godigital.com), but there is no deeper evidence here about site breadth, conversion elements, case studies, or technical quality, so the score stays moderate-to-strong rather than higher.

Search Visibility

Weight: 20%

58/100

Search visibility evidence is limited to godigital.com being a very old domain (registered December 1997, ~28 years old) and the homepage being updated in June 2026, which are positive durability/freshness signals, but no traffic, rankings, backlink, or SERP footprint data was provided, so this is scored conservatively.

Trust & Credibility

Weight: 20%

54/100

Credibility is supported by verifiable firmographic signals across the company website, LinkedIn, and Crunchbase, including a Los Angeles address, founding year of 2007, and stated business lines, but review evidence is mixed-to-negative overall, with only 2 positive G2 reviews versus a 1-star Capterra review and a 1-star BBB profile with 7 reviews containing complaints about results, lead quality, and privacy issues.

Market Presence

Weight: 15%

63/100

The company shows a moderate market footprint based on its own site, LinkedIn, and Crunchbase presence, a multinational positioning, multiple operating units, and review/listing presence on G2, Capterra, and BBB, but the team size is only 11-50 and the evidence bundle does not include stronger external footprint indicators such as broad media mentions, extensive review volume, or robust search visibility metrics.

Customer Satisfaction

Weight: 10%

34/100

Customer satisfaction appears weak based on the visible review mix: G2 is positive at 4.8/5 but from only 2 reviews, while Capterra shows 1/5 from 1 review and BBB shows 1/5 from 7 reviews, with recurring complaints about poor ROI, misleading promises, lead quality, and privacy/removal issues.

Pricing

  • Pricing model: Hybrid pricing. CIENCE GO Digital appears to be sold as part of a broader graph8/CIENCE platform subscription for programmatic advertising, with CPM-based media buying and a monthly platform/managed-services fee. Evidence also shows custom-quoted managed engagements and directory-listed hourly/minimum-budget bands for the agency overall.
  • Starting price: $499/mo
  • Typical range: $499/mo-$2,499/mo
  • Billing: Subscription pricing for the platform; CPM spend-based for advertising/media buying; managed services billed monthly. Agency engagements also appear to be custom-quoted.
  • Contract terms: Month-to-month contracts / no long-term contracts are stated on current CIENCE pages. A 6-month contract is mentioned in one DesignRush review, but that is a client-specific review and not a formal public terms page.
  • Free trial: Free start/free demo is advertised for the graph8 platform: 'Start Free — 2,500 Credits' and G2/GetApp indicate a free trial/free plan for GO Digital, but no detailed trial limits for GO Digital itself were published.

What's included

  • GO Digital programmatic advertising / DSP access
  • Custom audience creation using GO Data
  • Display, video, audio, and social ad options
  • CPM bidding / spend control
  • Managed outbound / GTM execution in higher-tier managed plans
  • Reporting / analytics
  • Related graph8/CIENCE GTM tools in bundled offers

The strongest first-party pricing evidence now lives on CIENCE/graph8 pages rather than a standalone godigital.com pricing page. Current CIENCE pages repeatedly state: graph8 Platform from $499/mo, CIENCE Managed from $2,499/mo, plus a $5,000 one-time GTM system setup, and specifically describe GO Digital as using an annual platform subscription with flexible CPM rates and no monthly spending commitments. Third-party directory data should be treated as directional rather than exact product pricing: DesignRush lists CIENCE Technologies with a minimal budget of $1,000-$10,000 and an average hourly rate of $25/hr, while Clutch review data includes one client reporting $2,000-$5,000 per month depending on campaigns. G2 confirms the pricing model qualitatively as 'subscription with CPM spend-based' but publishes no dollar amounts.

Reviews & reputation

CIENCE GO Digital has a clearly findable third-party review presence on G2 and Capterra. I also found a BBB profile for CIENCE Technologies Inc, but not a Clutch, Trustpilot, or Google listing that I could confidently match to this specific company/product via search; among the platforms where review text was visible, G2 is positive while Capterra and BBB skew negative, so the visible reputation is mixed and presence is limited.

    4.8/5

    2 reviews

    The two visible G2 reviews are favorable overall, praising ease of use, targeting controls, data visualization, and ABM/ad campaign utility. One reviewer notes the platform had many configurable options and required onboarding help before it became easy to handle.

      The platform is quite simple to use. I managed to filter all my wanted targets through title, industry, company size, and more.

      We have worked with other demand-side platforms before, but they were too complex for what we needed. GO Digital was on point from the start.

    1.0/5

    1 reviews

    The single visible Capterra review is strongly negative. It alleges poor delivery versus promises, low ROI, a disruptive tool change, and dissatisfaction with service and content quality.

    • Patricia H. · Marketing Specialist, Information Technology and Services1.0

      Our experience with Cience was a disaster. Despite a hefty investment, their promised revolutionary outbound marketing efforts turned out to be smoke and mirrors.

    • Patricia H. · Marketing Specialist, Information Technology and Services1.0

      Their "secret sauce" of intelligent targeting with data was mere generic cold calling, resulting in zero ROI and putting us in jeopardy with our board.

    • Patricia H. · Marketing Specialist, Information Technology and Services1.0

      In conclusion, Cience failed to deliver, wasting our time and resources. Avoid Cience at all costs.
