I wish I could give 10+ stars. We hired Qode Media over 3 years ago and have seen our business double since then. Qode helped us with our SEO ranking and website design which has paid off enormously. We went from 2nd and 3rd page web search listings to #1 and #2 on the first page of key word searches. I can't say enough about Frank. He is extremely responsive, friendly and professional. Based on the depth of his experience, he routinely helps us with business strategies that have given us incredible results.

I’ve been working with Qode media for couple years now. Working with another company before I was not getting the results I was promised and expecting. They assured me it takes time but nothing was happening with my SEO and ranking this resulting in a stagnant business.I decided to find a new company to work with I came across Qode Media’s website as it was very easy to understand their services and I gave them a call. Since then my business has doubled in revenue (within 2.5 years)Working with Jordana has been a blessing. I can’t say enough. You feel like you’ve know her for years. She responds quickly does everything she can to make sure you’re happy and getting results. They even helped me out during the lockdown with payments.I hardly ever write reviews but Jordana and her team definitely deserve one.Aret Oymakas
