74/ 100

Mabo combines specialist channel expertise, performance-focused strategy, and supporting technology to deliver measurable business impact rather than vanity metrics. The agency emphasises transparent reporting, commercial accountability, and flexible support that can span hands-on execution, strategic oversight, or multi-channel management.

Score breakdown

Website Presence

Weight: 20%

85/100

Mabo has a substantive website with dedicated homepage, about, contact, services, audit, and multiple service-specific pages, plus clear positioning, contact details, and a broad service list, but the evidence does not include independent measures of site performance, traffic, or UX quality.

Search Visibility

Weight: 20%

56/100

Search visibility evidence is limited to the mabo.co.uk domain being registered in September 2012 (~13 years old) and the homepage being updated in June 2026; no rankings, traffic, backlink, or keyword visibility data were provided, so the score is moderate and conservative.

Trust & Credibility

Weight: 20%

78/100

Credibility is supported by verifiable firmographics (UK address, phone, email, founded 2013, LinkedIn presence, team size 51-200) and a positive Trustpilot profile (4.6/5 from 58 reviews), but it is tempered by one documented 1-star complaint and the lack of confirmed ratings on Clutch, Google, G2, Capterra, or BBB.

Market Presence

Weight: 15%

70/100

Mabo shows a solid but not dominant footprint through its own detailed website, LinkedIn company page, Trustpilot presence, and a Clutch listing, along with a 2013 founding date and 51-200 employee range, but broader third-party platform coverage and stronger cross-source visibility were not evidenced.

Customer Satisfaction

Weight: 10%

84/100

Customer satisfaction appears strong based on Trustpilot's 4.6/5 rating across 58 reviews and review themes citing communication, PPC expertise, proactive management, and improved performance, though the score is slightly reduced by one explicit negative review alleging disruptive changes, overspend, and reduced sales.

Pricing

  • Pricing model: Custom-quoted digital marketing engagement, typically an ongoing monthly management/retainer-style partnership for PPC, Paid Social, and/or SEO rather than fixed packages. Mabo explicitly positions itself as flexible and bespoke, with support delivered as standalone services or a wider multi-channel strategy, and emphasizes no fixed-term/long-term contracts.
  • Starting price: Under $1,000 minimum budget
  • Typical range: $150-$199 / hr
  • Billing: Custom quote; evidence points to ongoing management engagements rather than fixed packages. Third-party directory data lists an hourly rate band, while Mabo’s own site describes a bespoke, adaptable partnership model. A third-party listing also describes "results-based billing," but this was not confirmed on Mabo’s own site.
  • Contract terms: No fixed-term / no long-term contracts stated on Mabo’s own site and corroborated by third-party profiles.
  • Free trial: Free review / free digital marketing audit / free strategy review (no-obligation) is offered.

I found concrete public pricing signals, but not a clean price card on Mabo’s own website. Mabo’s site consistently says the engagement is bespoke, performance-focused, and custom-fit, with free reviews/audits and no fixed-term contracts; it does not publish management fees or package prices. The concrete figures available publicly appear to come from reputable third-party directories: DesignRush lists Mabo’s minimal budget as under $1,000, while Clutch lists a $25,000+ minimum project size and a $150-$199/hr hourly rate band. Those directory figures may reflect directory-supplied profile data rather than a publicly published fee schedule from Mabo itself, so buyers should treat them as marketplace profile data points, not an official Mabo rate card.

Reviews & reputation

Mabo has a measurable third-party review presence on Trustpilot and a company listing on Clutch, but I could only find readable customer review text on Trustpilot. I did not find matching profiles for this specific company on G2, Capterra, or BBB in search results, and I could not confirm a Google business review listing from search results alone; overall, its visible public review reputation appears positive but concentrated mainly on Trustpilot.

    Trustpilot reviewers mostly praise Mabo for strong communication, expertise in PPC/Google Ads, proactive account management, and measurable performance improvements. I also found one negative review criticizing disruptive account changes, overspend, and a drop in sales performance.
