What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Manchester-based Gorilla Marketing handles search engine optimisation, paid search and content production, and the depth of knowledge the team brings to each account is a recurring theme in feedback. Long-running partnerships feature across several accounts, with clients noting that the agency explains what is being done and why, and that questions are answered quickly. Named staff, including Kyle and Danny, are often described as personable and straightforward, and the wider team is said to go out of its way to help.

A further point that comes up often is the commercial effect: businesses report stronger website traffic, improved sales and, in one case, growth that allowed a flooring company to take on extra employees within a short period. Clients also value the structured approach to roadmap development and campaign rollout, describing the work as professional and attentive to detail. The agency runs search and paid campaigns, and reviewers mention progress on new websites as well as work across multiple brands. Communication throughout projects is consistently described as swift and transparent, leaving clients feeling closely involved in the process. Feedback also highlights outside-the-box thinking and reliable results delivered over time.

I rarely leave negative reviews, but I felt this experience warranted honest feedback. Over the course of three separate days, I contacted Gorilla three times because I was genuinely interested in becoming a client and wanted to discuss my company’s requirements. On each occasion, I was assured by the virtual receptionist that my details would be passed to the new business team and that someone would contact me as soon as possible. Unfortunately, despite these assurances, I never received a single callback. As a prospective client, this left me feeling completely overlooked. No one took the time to understand my business, my objectives, or whether Gorilla could help us. The lack of communication was disappointing, particularly as this was an inbound sales enquiry—arguably one of the most valuable opportunities any business can receive. A potential customer had already made the decision to reach out, yet there was no follow-up whatsoever. Eventually, I received a WhatsApp message stating that Gorilla was at full capacity and was not taking on any new clients. I completely respect that every business has capacity limits, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with being fully booked. However, if that is the case, the communication process needs to reflect it. Waiting several days with no response before sending a brief message suggests there may be a disconnect between the front-end enquiry process and the company’s operational capacity. This review is not about Gorilla being unable to take us on as a client. It’s about the customer experience. A simple phone call or honest conversation after my first enquiry would have set expectations, demonstrated professionalism, and left me with a positive impression—even if the answer was ultimately “no.” Communication is one of the simplest yet most important aspects of running a successful business. Sadly, my experience fell well below the standard I expected from a company whose expertise is built around helping businesses grow. I hope this feedback is taken constructively, as improving this part of the customer journey would undoubtedly enhance the experience for future prospective clients.

I’ve worked with Gorilla Marketing for over two years across two different businesses, and they’ve consistently been excellent to work with. I originally partnered with them at a previous company and, based on the experience working with them, chose to reconnect with them again in my current role. Over that time, I’ve worked with Gorilla on both SEO and PPC projects, more recently PPC support. They’re knowledgeable, proactive, easy to work with, and genuinely take the time to understand the business and goals behind the campaigns. Communication is always clear and it feels like working with an extension of your own internal team rather than an external agency. Would highly recommend Gorilla to any business looking for a professional and collaborative marketing partner.

We have been working with Gorilla for just shy of 12 months now and we have seen a massive impact. Great team, with really personable staff and nothing is too much trouble. Professional team who think outisde the box to deliver real results.

The business I work for has partnered with Gorilla for several years, and I’ve personally been working closely with their team for nearly a year. Over my 13-year career in digital marketing, I’ve collaborated with many agencies, and I can honestly say that Gorilla ranks among the very best. Their expertise, particularly in SEO, is outstanding, and their work delivers results.

Having sourced them from a Google Search, Gorilla stepped in on the back of an Emergency Call to their Founder, Kyle...and I cannot praise them enough for the way that they immediately came to my business's rescue. Due to a high number of issues with Plug-Ins & potential Hacking situation, which led to my Site not only losing its place on Google & vanishing, but also resulting in the entire Design of the Site being compromised....Gorilla with Immediate Effect worked closely with me to re-establish not only its Ranking, but spent valued time on Fixing all the issues within a less than a day or so. I cannot thank them enough for both their Support & Expertise, as their professionalism and knowledge has been invaluable. As a result of this, I hope to develop a strong working relationship with the business on future SEO Campaigns and I would not hesitate to recommend them to any business looking for help in the short, medium or long term. Thank You
