Score breakdown

Website Presence

Weight: 20%

88/100

The evidence shows a substantial, active website with dedicated About, Contact, service, culture, pricing-related, and consultation pages, plus clear positioning around SEO/PPC/web services and a recent August 2024 homepage update, although no direct UX/performance metrics were provided.

Search Visibility

Weight: 20%

62/100

Search visibility evidence is limited to a strong foundational signal—an old hennessey.com domain registered in May 2000 and updated in August 2024—but no traffic, keyword rankings, backlinks, or other visibility metrics were included, so the score is moderate rather than high.

Trust & Credibility

Weight: 20%

82/100

Credibility is supported by consistent firmographic details across the company site, LinkedIn, Crunchbase, and BBB, plus a Clutch profile with a 4.7/5 rating from 9 reviews and an A+ BBB rating, though the company is not BBB accredited and review depth outside Clutch is limited.

Market Presence

Weight: 15%

76/100

Hennessey Digital shows a meaningful footprint through its own site, LinkedIn, Crunchbase, Clutch, G2, BBB, and directory mentions, along with a stated team size of 51-200 and a 2015 founding date, but the evidence does not include broader share-of-voice or press/award data.

Customer Satisfaction

Weight: 10%

84/100

Customer satisfaction appears strong based on Clutch’s 4.7/5 rating across 9 reviews and visible praise for SEO results, professionalism, organization, ROI, and responsiveness, but the accessible review sample was small and other platforms did not provide readable review content.

Pricing

  • Pricing model: Custom-quoted digital marketing engagements, primarily ongoing monthly retainer work for SEO/PPC/web support, with month-to-month contracts rather than long-term lock-ins. Evidence also shows project-based work for website revamps and web development, plus directory-listed hourly-rate positioning.
  • Starting price: $1,000 minimum budget
  • Typical range: $400-$2,000+ / month
  • Billing: Primarily monthly retainer / ongoing service billing; month-to-month contracts are stated on Hennessey Digital's site. Project-based engagements also appear in reviews/directories, and third-party directories list hourly-rate bands.
  • Contract terms: Month-to-month; Hennessey Digital says clients can leave easily and states there are no minimum engagement terms / no long-term or 'gotcha' contracts.
  • Free trial: Free one-hour consultation / free consultation is offered. They also advertise a free website evaluation.
  • Guarantee: No formal performance guarantee found, but the site says: 'If we're not meeting or exceeding your expectations, we deserve to be fired.'

What's included

  • Search engine optimization (SEO)
  • Pay-per-click advertising (PPC)
  • Website redesign / rebuild
  • Web development
  • Content creation / content strategy
  • Conversion rate optimization (CRO)
  • Tracking and analytics
  • Local SEO optimization
  • Creative / branding services
  • Google Business Profile / directory optimization
  • Citation building
  • Link building
  • Site speed and mobile optimization

Hennessey Digital does not publish a standard fee schedule or fixed packages on its main site; pricing is custom-quoted. However, its own site clearly signals a month-to-month retainer model with no minimum engagement term, and its local SEO article publishes ballpark monthly ranges of $400-$900, $900-$2,000, and $2,000+ for tiers it says it offers to local businesses. The lowest concrete entry figure I found is from DesignRush's directory profile, which lists a minimal budget of $1,000-$10,000 and an average hourly rate of $200/hr; those are third-party directory figures, not a price sheet published by Hennessey Digital itself. Clutch and GoodFirms further corroborate that engagements can be substantial, showing a $5,000+ minimum project size on Clutch, reviewed projects at $10,000-$49,999 and $200,000-$999,999 on Clutch, and a GoodFirms review marked at $200,000+.

Reviews & reputation

Hennessey Digital has confirmed third-party listings on Clutch, G2, and BBB. Of those, only Clutch exposed readable individual review text in accessible search/page results, where the company shows a strong client reputation centered on SEO performance, lead growth, professionalism, and responsiveness; G2 appears to have a product/category presence but no accessible individual review text was visible in the retrieved results, and BBB shows a business profile rather than customer review content. I did not find confirmed listings for this specific company on Trustpilot, Google, or Capterra in the search results examined.

  • G2Listed

    Search results and the opened G2 page confirm a Hennessey Digital product/category page exists on G2. However, the accessible results I could retrieve showed an alternatives page and category context, not readable individual reviews for this company, so rating and review-count fields are left null.

  • BBBListed

    BBB has a business profile for Hennessey Digital matching the company name and website domain. The visible page shows the business is not BBB accredited and has an A+ BBB rating, but no readable customer review text was visible in the retrieved page content.
