At the end of 2020 my office started taking advantage of the experience and knowledge of The Belford Group Team. The Belford Group has added value to all aspects of our marketing; social media, search engine optimization, website traffic, and online engagement. Every business has a story to tell. The Belford Group will teach you how to get that message to the public in a way that gets your business the response they want.

I would not do business with these folks if they were the only website company on the planet! They build sites they can not perform in search results and do not listen to what the client desires. Angela talks the talk but she cannot walk the walk. Then because of the CMS they use to build sites you are hostage to their absurd hosting fees, They will tell you they can not give you your site to take where ever you want for hosting, this is absurd!. Customer service is none existent! I have watched one of my clients wrestle with them for 6 months trying to get control of his site!
