Where the public evidence points
Ciphers offers a comparatively transparent starting price and identifiable consultants. Its named cases show relevant local-search and ecommerce work, but public percentage gains lack complete dated baselines. The second office and service-area lists do not justify duplicating the Gilbert profile across the city register.

First-party case evidence
Published client outcomes
Copper Wren Law
Agency reports a 300% organic traffic increase and 79.4% non-brand visibility increase.
Website, content and technical changes were supported by social and some paid campaigns. The public text lacks a dated window and absolute traffic baseline; visibility is not a client count.
Open sourceMike's Barbershop
Agency reports 300% organic traffic growth and 83% of bookings through its website app.
The work combined a site rebuild, booking app, business-profile work and local content. Absolute bookings and campaign dates are absent; the page's 'tripled' headline does not match a 300% increase, so that wording is excluded.
Open sourceDoor and Trim Store
Agency reports daily online orders increasing more than 150% within 90 days of launch.
The project combined WooCommerce implementation and local SEO. This is an ecommerce order metric, not an isolated organic-search result; absolute order baselines and calendar dates are not supplied.

Questions for the sales call

- Request dated analytics exports and reconcile percentage claims with absolute baselines.
- Separate paid, organic, booking-app and website-rebuild contributions when setting success measures.
What this profile does not prove
- Case results are first-party claims, not independently audited outcomes or guarantees.
