Watch-outs

- Generalist approach may dilute focus compared to specialists in niche verticals
- Large agency (160+) may result in less personalized attention for smaller clients
- AI SEO services are newer offerings; long-term track record is limited compared to core SEO/PPC services

“We spent 6 months with Thrive. Our rep was very kind and professional. I know he made best efforts, however we didn’t get the results we were looking for. On our way out, our rep was on vacation and so his boss, Julio, handled our exit. He is the sole reason I am leaving this review. He was not kind and was condescending, leaving a very bitter taste in our mouths.”
