First Class so far.......

This is my review of DigitalFive so far, I look forward to posting another positive review in due course.

I was recommended DigitalFive from a friend to assist me initially with a website build, SEO and Google PPC for a brand new venture. Since then, as a result of my confidence in them, they are also looking after my Meta advertising as well as setting up my phone line and MobeX connection.

Their communication has been first class, from my initial contact with the commercial team, and then through to the technical team, and then my regular contact with the paid advertising team. Name checking Matt, Samantha and Liam who have been great to work with.

As with any new business, marketing takes time, and we're still building towards where we both want to be. What has impressed me is that the team haven't simply left campaigns running, they've continually analysed the data, explained their thinking, and refined the strategy as we've learned more about what works (and what doesn't).

I've seen some reviews on here that suggest communication isn't great, not my experience at all. If you ask them to build a website and look after your SEO then I'm sure they do that just fine, if you treat them like a partner in your business then they will behave like that and work with you to drive things forward.

If things continue as they are, I look forward to being back here posting another positive update.

Very poor experience with Digital Five

Very poor experience with Digital Five. Emails go unanswered for days or even over a week. Agreed services were not delivered properly, which caused us to lose hundreds of pounds due to delays. Extremely poor communication and unreliable service. Not recommended.

Disappointing service

am very disappointed with the service provided by this company. This is not the first time I have raised concerns.

I make monthly SEO payments of at least £300, yet I receive no meaningful updates or reporting on what work is being carried out. From my perspective, I am paying for a service without seeing results or clear evidence of progress.

Communication is a major issue. When I ask even a small question or request a minor update, it can take a month or more to receive any response. However, if a payment is missed, I am contacted immediately and chased without delay. This imbalance speaks volumes about where priorities lie.

During the first couple of months, the level of care and attention was noticeably better. Since then, the service has declined significantly. Whether this is due to staff shortages or workload is irrelevant — as a paying customer, I expect consistent communication, transparency, and a professional level of service.

I entered into a contract in good faith and expect to be treated fairly and receive the service I am paying for. Unfortunately, that has not been my experience.

Also sharing her own visions & ideas which I really appreciate. Honest and caring, making the whole process easy from start to finish. Nothing was too was trouble. So happy with the end result, thank you to all involved.

"We are incredibly pleased with our new website and the results from our SEO and Google Ads campaigns. Since moving our digital advertising to [Your Business Name], the lead generation and professional support have been second to none. Their team truly understands how to scale a business. Talk to Tim about your business, honestly a game changer”

I’m 6 months into my contract with smart numbers or digital 5 as they have changed too.
in my opinion I’ve been tricked into a false pretence sales pitch .
I approached this company as looked quite good online .
Tim the sales guy / manager whatever he is this week .
talked me into a monthly subscription with the sales pitch of regular calls / work generation !!
I’m constantly complaining as not much happening , phone never rings , on the odd occasion it does it’s Spam.
I’ve had 2 paying jobs in 6 months .
Contact forms go to junk mail , so get lost in the astronomical amount of Spam emails I get telling me how inadequate my ISO is !
Apparently smart numbers don’t have the knowledge of experience to have emails sent to correct inbox! Resulting in what leads I have being lost .
This service is massively inadequate not what I was sold .
And all for the cost of £500.00 a month severely Overpriced!!
My advice.
STEER CLEAR .
I’m literally counting the days to get out of this tricked into contract !!!

A very easy process.

A very easy process mainly because you are being guided by the person on the other end of the phone from Smart Numbers.

Why use a pseudo UK landline number.

Used by people of dubious commercial morals to show a UK based telephone number for cold calling against Telephone Preference service. Barr one and they just move to another cheapo number.
BT should crack down on this.

I had a fantastic experience with Smart Numbers today. Kate R was brilliant—extremely knowledgeable and provided outstanding customer service. She made the whole process smooth and easy to understand. I'm really happy to have this new smart landline number for my business, and the additional features are going to make things run much more efficiently. Highly recommend Smart Numbers for anyone looking to streamline their communications!
