Score breakdown

Website Presence

Weight: 20%

83/100

RSO Consulting has a substantive website presence based on the evidence bundle, with a live company site describing multiple services (SEO, paid search, social media optimization, analytics consulting, web design/development, and A/B testing) plus contact details and positioning, though the evidence does not include deeper proof of site breadth, case studies, or conversion elements.

Search Visibility

Weight: 20%

72/100

Search visibility appears solid but not fully evidenced: the domain is reported as registered in January 2003 (~23 years old) and the homepage was last modified in January 2026, which are positive signals, but the bundle provides no organic traffic, ranking, backlink, or keyword visibility metrics, so the score is moderated.

Trust & Credibility

Weight: 20%

86/100

Trust and credibility are strong from the available evidence because the firm has verifiable firmographics (San Francisco location, founded 2006, 11-50 employees, LinkedIn and Crunchbase presence) and third-party validation including a 4.9/5 rating from 32 Clutch reviews and a BBB business profile with an A+ snippet, although there is limited direct review-text analysis and no phone number listed in the bundle.

Market Presence

Weight: 15%

78/100

RSO Consulting shows a credible market footprint through its own website, LinkedIn, Crunchbase, Clutch, G2, BBB, and additional directory mentions in pricing sources, but the evidence does not include broader media coverage, awards, traffic scale, or strong multi-platform review depth, so the score stays below top tier.

Customer Satisfaction

Weight: 10%

88/100

Customer satisfaction scores high primarily because Clutch shows a 4.9/5 average across 32 reviews and snippets highlight timeliness, communication, knowledge, project management, and measurable results, but this is tempered by the lack of readable cross-platform review text and the absence of verified review volume on Google, Trustpilot, or Capterra.

Pricing

  • Pricing model: Custom-quoted digital marketing engagements, primarily monthly retainer/ongoing service relationships, with hourly-rate positioning on directories and some project-based work. Evidence points most strongly to ongoing monthly SEO/PPC/digital marketing retainers rather than pay-per-lead or pay-per-appointment pricing.
  • Starting price: $5,000+ project minimum
  • Typical range: $100-$149 / hr
  • Billing: Primarily ongoing monthly retainer engagements for SEO/PPC/digital marketing; directories also list an hourly rate band. Clutch review evidence shows at least one client paying about $4,500 per month.
  • Contract terms: Not clearly published. Multiple reviews describe ongoing engagements lasting months or years, but no fixed minimum term was stated on the pages reviewed.

What's included

  • SEO
  • PPC / paid search management
  • Lead generation
  • Brand awareness campaigns
  • Web analytics / GA / GTM / Looker Studio reporting
  • Keyword strategy
  • Content creation / optimization
  • Landing pages / microsites
  • Social media support
  • Website maintenance / technical SEO

RSO Consulting's own site appears to use custom estimates/quotes rather than publishing package prices. The strongest concrete pricing data comes from Clutch, which lists RSO Consulting at a $5,000+ minimum project size and $100-$149/hr average hourly rate, while Clutch's review summary says client engagements have ranged from $1,750 to $1,000,000. Client review text on Clutch also shows a real monthly spend example of about $4,500/month and another long-running client describing a 'relatively low monthly fee'; these are client-reported spends, not a standardized public rate card published by RSO itself.

Reviews & reputation

RSO Consulting has a visible third-party review presence on Clutch and a business listing on G2 and BBB, but I could not verify listings for Trustpilot, Google, or Capterra from search results. The strongest evidence of customer review reputation is on Clutch, where the company shows a high average rating and substantial review volume; however, I could not reliably read enough individual review text across platforms to extract many direct review excerpts without risking fabrication.

  • Top Sales AgenciesNo reviews yet
  • Clutch
    4.9/5

    32 reviews

    Clutch presents RSO Consulting as a highly rated digital marketing agency with verified client reviews. Review insights shown in search snippets emphasize timeliness, communication, knowledge, project management, and measurable results.

  • G2Listed

    0 reviews

    G2 search results show RSO Consulting as a service provider entry, but the snippets available indicate "0 ratings" and do not expose readable customer review text. I therefore treated it as listed, but with no visible review content to analyze.

  • TrustpilotNot listed
  • GoogleNot listed
  • CapterraNot listed
  • BBBListed

    BBB has a business profile for RSO Consulting, Inc. in San Francisco. The visible search snippet shows a BBB letter grade of A+ and notes the business is not BBB accredited, but it does not expose customer review text or a customer star rating in the snippet.
