Scoring explanation
Score blends public proof, structured commercial data, explainability depth, and Los Angeles shortlist relevance.
Score drivers
Strong healthcare-specific client and case-study evidence.; Clear Santa Monica/LA fit and team depth.; Deep healthcare and wellness case-study library.; Named client roster with strong institutional names.; Quantified official results across patient acquisition, SEO, ecommerce, and campaign performance.
Score penalties
Independent public review proof remains limited.; Narrow sector fit outside healthcare/wellness.; No trusted independent buyer-review source found.; Sector specialization narrows fit outside healthcare and wellness.
Why recommended

Why not recommended
Less suitable for generic ORM, review-removal, or executive crisis cases.; Not verified because the proof is official case-study evidence rather than trusted buyer-review proof.

Negotiation checklist for Quaintise5 points
Use these before signing. Each point addresses a known pattern for vendors at this tier and size.
Ask for a 3-month pilot with explicit exit conditions before committing to a longer term — most agencies at this level will agree if scope is well-defined.
Benchmark the retainer cost against two alternatives before accepting the first proposal — agencies at this budget tier typically have 15–25% pricing flexibility for well-scoped accounts.
Define month-1 deliverables explicitly in writing — retainer agreements are often left intentionally vague, which causes scope disputes after the 60-day honeymoon period.
Get a named account manager in the contract, not just a team. Request an SLA on response time (e.g. 24-hour business-day response) — verbal commitments don't hold after onboarding.
Ask for two references from clients in your specific industry vertical, not generic testimonials from a published library — call them directly and ask about communication and post-launch support.
