Signed on and was ranking 7 on GMB with a 5 on website .
After 2 months with them I have fallen to over 100 on almost everything GMB is page 4 .
They can’t seem to figure out why.
Meanwhile, I keep paying.

Thrive was great to work with for SEO

Thrive was great to work with for SEO, especially Jeff. He understood our business needs and goals, and was wonderful to work with. Even though we decided to internalize our SEO work due to budget constraints, he still checks in with us and sends us updates and tips. Definitely recommend!

Our company started working with Thrive…for our Google Ad Campaigns

Our company started working with Thrive for all of our Google Ads campaigns. At first it was shaky due to various new account managers coming in but after many conversations and the right account people coming onboard we are happy with our partnership.

Hi, Lesa, we apologize that you weren’t initially completely satisfied with our services and we really appreciate your feedback. We did shuffle some account managers’ responsibilities and clients about the time you started with Thrive, and we’re sorry this caused some concerns for you. However, we are happy to hear your recent feedback to us that your meetings are going great and you’re happy with Thrive’s strategists, communication and services. If you have any more questions or concerns, we would be more than happy to discuss your situation further. Feel free to call me at 1-800-217-6075 (Ext. 7033). – Allie Radler, Vice President of Client Experience

No results after months of investment

Our experience with Thrive was extremely disappointing. We experienced missed deadlines, lack/no communication, incomplete/missing work and ad content issues. All of this could be forgiven if we had results. Unfortunately, after months of consistent advertising and making adjustments to our content as they suggested we received literally no conversions (sales). The only reason I wouldn't give them 1 star is because I feel a few members of the team did seem to make an effort to improve the results. I only wish I would have seen reviews on this site before engaging with them.

Hi, Matt Nuesse, thank you for sharing your experience. We’re sorry to hear the results did not meet your expectations, and we truly appreciate you recognizing the effort that several members of our team put into your campaign. From the start, we understood this would be a challenging project. Meta’s strict policies around weight loss, medical language and GLP-1 references created real limitations that affected optimization. Despite those constraints, our team remained committed to adapting creative and messaging while staying compliant with Meta’s evolving guidelines. Midway through the engagement, at your request, we shifted focus from a brand awareness strategy intended to build credibility and visibility for a highly regulated service to direct ecommerce sales. While we expressed our concerns about making this change before the campaign had matured, we worked to implement your direction. That kind of pivot, especially within a short 90-day window, requires time to test, stabilize and gather meaningful insights. Campaigns like this often need several months to fully optimize and produce consistent results. Throughout the engagement, we maintained regular communication, met deadlines and collaborated closely with your team.If you have any more questions or concerns, we would be more than happy to discuss your situation further. Feel free to call me at 1-800-217-6075 (Ext. 7033). – Allie Radler, Vice President of Client Experience

🚨 Avoid at all costs

🚨 Avoid at all costs 🚨

Our experience with this company was extremely disappointing from start to finish.

We were contacted by M. and signed up for their services in March 2025. Just 3–4 days after granting them access to our Google My Business account, our profile was suddenly suspended.

We immediately received an email from Google stating that the suspension was due to a violation involving a third-party account connected to our profile. The only third-party access we had granted was to this company.

For several days, the company denied any responsibility. However, once we removed their access and submitted an appeal, our Google Business profile was promptly reinstated. As a reminder, had the appeal been denied, we could have permanently lost our Google Business profile—the channel that generates more than half of our sales today. With over 1,000 reviews, this incident placed our business at serious risk—something a competent and experienced company should never allow.

Our assigned account manager, D., showed minimal engagement during calls, communication was consistently slow, and responses were often unhelpful. The overall quality of work failed to meet even basic expectations.

After spending $6,000, this level of service is completely unacceptable. I strongly advise others to stay away and avoid unnecessary stress and potential damage to their business.

UPDATE JANUARY 2026 : The company responded months later, only after repeatedly attempting to flag and have my reviews removed across multiple platforms.

Hi Luis,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re genuinely sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations, and we understand how stressful any interruption to a Google Business Profile can be.

We want to clarify that Google Business Profile suspensions are ultimately controlled and enforced by Google, and while third-party access can sometimes be cited by Google as a contributing factor, suspensions can occur for multiple reasons outside of any agency’s direct control. That said, we take any situation involving our clients’ online presence very seriously and regret the concern this caused your team.

Once access was removed and an appeal was submitted, we’re glad to see that your profile was reinstated. We also acknowledge your feedback regarding communication and engagement, and we are actively reviewing this internally to ensure better responsiveness and clearer expectations moving forward.

We appreciate you raising these concerns and would welcome the opportunity to discuss this further offline to better understand where we fell short and how we can improve. Feel free to call me at 1-800-217-6075 (Ext. 7033).

I absolutely love working at Thrive!

For the past three years in a fully remote position, I’ve been amazed at how connected I feel to my coworkers despite the physical distance. The leadership team is filled with people of integrity who are dedicated to delivering exceptional results for our clients while fostering a positive and encouraging work environment. I truly believe God led me here, and I’m grateful every day for the blessing of being part of this incredible team!

No work and no refunds

We hired Thrive Marketing to update our website and perform web optimization for an up and coming local business.

Do not hire this company. They have done exactly zero work on our project. After three months and nearly $10,000 they hadn't even accessed our webpage. Do not hire this company. They have done exactly zero work on our project. For a similar cost, you can hire someone vetted who will actually do the work they are promising. We are devastated by this setback.

Please, please don't make our mistake.

I worked with Danielle and Mo for over 2.7 years and they created Amazon listings, keyword searches, PPC ads, A+ content and so much more for my company. I am very pleased with the work they have done. I think the other reviews here are for another company that makes apps. I put my trust in them and they produced great results for my company. My company grew to a 7+ figure company within the first 13 months. That has been my experience with Thrive.
