Kimberly is great to work with! She has gone above and beyond to help me with my SEO in a thorough way. She possesses a wealth of knowledge about all things SEO, is a great communicator, and made this process enjoyable. Since working with her, my website page is ranking significantly higher, my website is more visible, and Google ads are performing very well. Specifically, I have a therapy practice and Kimberly did a great job understanding my field.

Working with Kim at Faceted Media has been a big win for Black Bear Transportation here in Steamboat Springs. As a small, locally owned business competing with much larger companies, we needed smart marketing that actually worked—and Kim delivered. She improved our website, strengthened our SEO, and helped us get found by the right customers. Todd was also a huge help building high-quality backlinks, which made a real difference in our search visibility. We’ve already seen increased bookings and better momentum overall. Kim and Todd are knowledgeable, proactive, and genuinely invested in their clients’ success, and we’re excited to keep growing with them in our corner.

We used Kim at Faceted Media for our small business in Steamboat, and she is an absolute wizard at what she does. Within just a few weeks, our transportation business was completely transformed our website, advertising, and overall marketing finally started working the way it should. Kim truly knows her stuff and is all-in on helping her clients win. I can’t say enough good things about her. This is just the beginning, and I can’t wait to see how our business continues to grow with her in our corner. I’m so grateful we decided to bite the bullet and invest in professional advertising and marketing with Faceted Media instead of trying to do it ourselves. It clearly wasn’t working before and now I only see things going up with Kim taking the reins.

As a therapist new to private practice, navigating the world of marketing and SEO has been daunting. Enter Kim, who has worked diligently with me, both behind the scenes and by my side, to build my online presence, make my business more visible, and help it to gain traction. She is incredibly knowledgeable about the tips and tricks of online marketing. She is both a hard worker and a lovely/warm/gentle human being! I am endlessly grateful for her help and look foreward to continuing to work with her.

When my clients need an SEO expert, I am constantly referring Kim and Faceted Media. She is truly excellent at what she does, and is a lovely human to work with. A lot of SEO companies talk a big talk without the results to show for it, but Kim is the absolute real deal. I feel confident knowing that when I send a client to her, they will be well taken care of and get real results! One of my clients was able to monetize her business and get to #1 in search results from obscurity, even ahead of Oprah's content which she was so happy to see! I think that says a lot about Kim's work.

Holy moly, I have had the BEST experience working with Kimberly at Faceted Media. I hired her for her one-day intensive, and it is some of the best money I have ever spent on my business. She had more than paid for herself within days of me hiring her, and now that it's been several weeks and I am seeing the full scope of the results, I can confidently say she's paid for herself many times over. I own an appointment based fine jewelry company, and my calendar has never been more full. In fact, I am now officially so busy that I had to hire my first employee. If you're on the fence, just do it!

I'm so grateful that I was referred to Kim and her team. After working with another SEO company, I can truly see the difference in the way that Faceted Media helps their clients understand the process behind SEO, takes time to work all angles of SEO/AIEO, and provides comprehensive strategies. We bumped up our rankings so quickly with their help! Kim and her team are communicative, knowledgeable, and willing to go above and beyond for their clients.

Working with Kimberly and Faceted Media has been a total game changer for my business! When we first started, Beautiful You Skincare Academy-Cos was practically invisible online. Through her strategic SEO and Google Maps optimization, we climbed from obscurity to the top 3 in Maps and Page 1 rankings for multiple search terms. Kimberly is knowledgeable, responsive, and truly cares about helping her clients grow. She guided me through the process step by step and delivered real, measurable results. If you’re looking to elevate your online presence and actually see progress, she’s the one to call! Desarae Marhofer, Founder & CEO of Beautiful You Skincare Academy 🩵

I 100% recommend Kimberly and her services. A friend connected me with her, and I'm so glad she did. I had done some SEO and wanted to keep building on my success, so I hired Kimberly for a 1 day intensive. Since then, more bookings have been rolling in, and I'm so grateful. It was great to have Kimberly's eyes on my business and website to help me get to the next level.

We recently had the incredible privilege of working with Kim Hogate and her team at Faceted Media, and we couldn't be more thrilled with the results. From the moment we hired her, she exceeded every expectation we had and transformed our marketing efforts in ways we didn’t think possible. Kim helped us increase our leads, successfully complete a full rebrand, and dramatically improve our Google rankings with her exceptional SEO and Google Ads strategies. She worked her magic on the back end of our website, ensuring optimal Google search placements. It’s clear that Kim is committed to staying up-to-date with the latest marketing and Google trends, ensuring we’re receiving relevant, cutting-edge strategies and information. Not only did she deliver incredible results, but Kim also shared a wealth of knowledge, mentoring us every step of the way. Thanks to her, we now have a sustainable, results-driven marketing plan and the confidence to maintain our momentum going forward. Her insights, tips, and hacks—things we’d never even considered—have already started showing tangible results in such a short time. Kim walked us through everything we didn’t understand, providing invaluable resources, guides, and cheat sheets to explain the work being done behind the scenes. She was super communicative and responsive, never leaving us with unanswered questions or feeling unsure about what was happening. Her dedication to her clients’ success is unmatched. Kim is patient, detail-oriented, and always “on.” She goes above and beyond—delivering outcomes we’ve never experienced with any other marketing agency and far exceeding what we expected when we hired her. If you’re considering hiring a digital marketing expert, look no further. We highly, highly recommend Kim with Faceted Media! Her dedication, expertise, and ability to deliver results make her an invaluable partner for any business. We’re so grateful for everything she’s done to set us up for ongoing success!

Had a great experience making sure that my business was set up for success and that we had all that we needed to keep growing. Kim was responsive, always willing to work through steps with me, and patient when I had got too busy to keep at the steps I needed next. She provided a lot of great metrics so that I knew her work was making a difference. I feel confident enough that I have referred many people her way.

Kimberly is fantastic! As a new business owner I was completely in the dark around how to market my business. She was able to make the process of engaging SEO easy to understand, and supported me in better configuring my website for user visibility. She’s kind, creative, and a joy to work with!

Kim is a talented expert in marketing, tech & SEO, while also excelling in the domains of branding and design. She can handle all these areas for her clients, which is something they really appreciate about her for-being able to do everything in one place for their business. She is a great listener and genuinely cares about her clients. I've been able to both follow her expertise online on social media channels to help me develop my own business as well as worked with her in her agency. She always puts her best effort into every project she takes on.
