We pulled these directly from Trustpilot and Google Business Profile. The review text and star ratings live on those platforms. We can't alter them. We've included every review, including the occasional 4-star one.
If you're searching "JRR Marketing reviews" or "Josiah Roche reviews," you're doing your due diligence. That's exactly what good business owners do before handing over their marketing budget.
Every review on this page was left on Trustpilot or Google. We can't edit them, delete them, or pick which ones show up. So you're seeing the full picture, including the one 4-star review where a client said communication slowed down in month 3.
We manage over $2.9M in monthly ad spend across healthcare, trades, legal, and e-commerce clients. Most of the reviews below are from those same industries.

Other consultants we'd spoken to liked to talk in generalities. Josiah opened the account and within minutes was pointing out specific line items that were quietly eating our budget. No fluff, no upselling, straight to the point. He gave us a list of fixes and walked us through each one. That approach is exactly what we needed.

One thing I really appreciated was that Josiah laid out a clear roadmap from day one. There was no guessing what would happen next or when. The community he's built is also genuinely supportive, not just a place to dump links. No confusion, just steady measurable progress from the first week. That consistency has been worth a lot to me.

As a business owner who didn't grow up in marketing, I always felt talked down to by agencies. Josiah was completely different. He explains things in plain terms and never made me feel like I needed a marketing degree to follow along. Finally, someone who speaks my language. I left every call knowing exactly what was happening and why.

I came in knowing almost nothing about Google Ads. Josiah didn't just run the campaigns, he explained every decision so I understood what was happening with my own money. I've learned more in a few months than I did in years trying to figure it out on my own. The 'why' behind every change makes a huge difference when it's your business on the line.

We'd been burning money on ads for almost a year with nothing to show for it. Josiah took a completely methodical approach, starting with the data before touching a single campaign setting. We were ROI positive within 60 days. That's not something I expected to say so quickly. The approach is disciplined and it shows in the results.
Gareth Edwards

We were getting clicks but none of them were converting. Josiah audited the account and immediately spotted three campaigns that were pulling budget from the wrong keywords. He restructured everything and explained each change clearly. Six months in, we're ranking for terms that actually bring paying clients, not just browsers who'll never call.
Anders
September 2025
We're in a fairly niche B2B space and most agencies we'd spoken to just nodded along and promised results regardless. Josiah was the first person who pushed back and said, 'that approach probably won't work for you, here's why.' That kind of honesty was genuinely refreshing. We followed his recommendation instead and the results proved him right.
Nick Bradshaw

I'll be honest, I was completely clueless when it came to paid ads. Josiah didn't make me feel like an idiot for it. He walked me through the account step by step and showed me shortcuts that saved us real time and real money within the first month. I now understand our campaigns far better than I ever expected to.

Josiah is incredibly detail oriented and clearly an expert marketer. He picked up on things in our account that we had completely overlooked and explained everything in a way that actually made sense. You can tell he genuinely cares about the outcome, not just going through the motions. One of the best decisions we made was getting him involved.
Tobias

We came in with a ROAS that wasn't where it needed to be and weren't sure what was holding it back. Josiah went through the account methodically and identified the issues quickly. The changes he recommended made a real difference. Our ROAS improved noticeably and the results have been consistent since. Would highly recommend to anyone running Google Ads.

We'd been with a well-known agency for 18 months and felt like things were fine but not great. Josiah's audit took less than two hours and revealed issues that had been quietly costing us money the entire time. Our previous agency never mentioned any of it. I don't know if they missed it or just didn't want to rock the boat. Either way, now we know where the leaks were.
Dustin Howell
October 2025
We'd been through three agencies in two years. Every one of them promised the world and delivered dashboards full of vanity metrics. Josiah was different from the first call. No upselling, no jargon, just an honest assessment of what was broken and what it would take to fix it. Finally found someone who actually wants us to succeed.
Rachel Donovan
April 2024
We spent 8 months with another agency and had genuinely nothing to show for it. Not a single meaningful metric had improved. Within 6 weeks of working with Josiah, our cost per lead dropped from $190 to $64. My accountant called me to ask what had changed. I've since recommended Josiah to two other business owners I know.
Ben Marsden

I'll be honest, I wasn't sure Google Ads would even work for a trade business like ours. Josiah was upfront about what he could and couldn't promise, which actually gave me more confidence, not less. He set realistic expectations and then exceeded them. We're now booking 3 to 4 weeks ahead consistently, which has never happened before in the 7 years we've been operating.
Priya Nair
July 2024
I've worked with agencies before who take weeks just to get a campaign live. Josiah had our ads running and converting before I'd even finished going through the onboarding checklist. Fast, no-nonsense, and — this is rare — he actually responds to messages within a reasonable timeframe. Small thing but it matters when you're running a business.
Craig Fullerton

I'm giving 4 stars rather than 5 because communication slowed down noticeably around month 3 and I had to follow up a couple of times to get updates. That frustrated me. The results, though, were real. Leads came in, they converted, the numbers moved in the right direction. I'd still recommend Josiah, I just think the communication side could be more proactive.
Danielle Orth
August 2024
We'd been running our own Google Ads for two years thinking we had a handle on it. Josiah spent 20 minutes looking at the account and calmly pointed out three separate things we'd been paying for that were silently eating our budget. Two years of overspending on campaigns that weren't even reaching the right people. We've made back that wasted spend many times over since fixing it.
Sarah Okafor
September 2024
We were running ads with no proper compliance tracking in place and had no idea the risk we were carrying. Josiah flagged it in the first session, explained what needed to change, and rebuilt the campaign from scratch around a compliant setup. It was the first compliant, profitable campaign we've ever run. I'm grateful he caught it before it became a much bigger problem.
Tom Griffiths
October 2024
We'd watched our ROAS decline steadily for three months and couldn't work out why. Josiah looked at the account and identified the problem quickly: our top-of-funnel audience was far too broad and was consuming budget that should have been going to high-intent buyers. He restructured the campaign tiers and tightened the targeting. ROAS went from 1.4x to 3.8x in 6 weeks. That result has held.
Melissa Crane
December 2024
I had been told by two different marketing people that Google Ads simply don't work for legal services. Josiah pushed back on that immediately and ran a competitor audit that showed several firms in our space running profitable campaigns. He built ours from the ground up with a clear strategy. We had 4 new client enquiries in the first month. I wish I'd ignored that earlier advice sooner.
Ryan Patel
January 2025
We had good traffic and a product we believed in, but the numbers weren't moving. Josiah identified the landing page as the bottleneck almost immediately. It was converting at 1.2%, which he said was well below what it could be. He restructured the layout and the information hierarchy without touching the visual design at all. Conversion rate went from 1.2% to 4.7%. The same budget is now doing nearly four times the work.
Owen McAllister

I took over a business that came with a Google Ads account that had six years of messy data baked into it. I'd tried to clean it up myself but kept making things worse. Josiah looked at it and said plainly that rebuilding from scratch would be faster and cheaper than trying to salvage what was there. That turned out to be the right call. Our cost per booked job dropped by 52% within the first quarter of running the new account.
Simone Fletcher
January 2026
I didn't realise we'd been paying to advertise on our own brand name when we already ranked first for it organically. Josiah spotted it during the initial audit and explained exactly how much budget was being wasted. He redirected everything to high-intent non-brand terms that we weren't capturing at all. We saved $800 per month in wasted spend from day one, and that money is now working far harder for us.
Marcus Webb
February 2026
Every SEO agency I'd spoken to talked in terms of 12 months before you'd see any movement. Josiah took a different approach and focused on a small number of high-intent, bottom-of-funnel pages rather than trying to compete everywhere at once. The results came faster than I expected. We were ranking for 3 terms that actually bring inbound calls within 8 weeks. I've since referred two other business owners in my network.
Natasha Ivanova

English is my second language and I had given up on working with marketing agencies because every meeting left me more confused than when it started. Josiah was completely different. He slowed down when something needed explaining, used plain language, and always checked that I understood before moving on. I never felt lost in a single meeting. For anyone who has felt talked past by people in this industry, I would genuinely recommend reaching out.
Yes, every review on this page is pulled directly from Trustpilot or Google Business Profile. We have no ability to edit, delete, or cherry-pick which ones show up. You can check them yourself by searching 'JRR Marketing' on Trustpilot or Google Maps right now. Every reviewer name, date, and star rating is exactly as it appears on those platforms. We include all of them, including the 4-star review from Craig Fullerton, because that's what a transparent record looks like.
It's a fair question, and we'd rather address it than ignore it. The honest answer is that clients who get results tend to leave reviews, and clients who don't are usually identified early and don't continue. Our average across 136+ reviews is 4.9, not a perfect 5.0. Craig Fullerton's 4-star review is on there because it's real and it matters. He noted that communication slowed in month 3, and that's a piece of feedback we took seriously. A wall of identical 5-star reviews with no names, no dates, and no detail is what suspicious actually looks like. This isn't that.
Josiah Roche is the founder of JRR Marketing. Most agencies assign your account to a junior strategist after the sales call and you never hear from anyone senior again. Josiah doesn't do that. He stays personally on every account, which is why clients write his name in reviews rather than just referencing 'the team.' He works across Google Ads, SEO, and landing page strategy, with clients in healthcare, legal, trades, e-commerce, and B2B. If you sign up, you're working with Josiah, not a junior account manager.
Go to Trustpilot.com and search 'JRR Marketing.' You'll see every review in chronological order with the reviewer's name, their location, and the date it was posted. For Google reviews, open Google Maps and search 'JRR Marketing.' Neither platform allows businesses to edit or remove reviews. We genuinely want you to check, because the reviews hold up and verifying them yourself will tell you more than anything we could write here.
We work best with local service, healthcare and professional services, law firms, financial consultants, physios, dentists, plumbers, home services, in the $1M–$10M revenue range, with outliers up to $50M+. Geos are the US, Australia, UK, sometimes Canada and the UAE.
The typical client is an owner with 1–2 locations and a small team, or a client-side marketing manager (1–2 people) we collaborate with. Typical ad spend is $5K–$10K per month; some clients run $100K–$200K/mo with outliers at $1M/mo.
Who we don't take on: startups without a funded marketing budget, B2B SaaS that won't commit to long-term SEO, fresh e-commerce with no sales track record, casinos, crypto, MLMs, adult, or anyone asking for guarantees on day one. We've also fired rude or catastrophising clients before, fit drives results.
Most agencies sell channels. We don't run Facebook, Meta, Instagram or email marketing, only Google Ads, search engine marketing, and consulting (including SEM-with-AI). That focus is part of how we've generated $100M+ for clients across lawyers, dentists, physios, plumbers and home + professional services.
Josiah audits roughly 200 Google Ads accounts a year and teaches the method on YouTube to 170,000+ subscribers. About 9 in 10 of those accounts are misconfigured somewhere, which is usually where new client wins come from. He owns deep strategy and weekly 1:1s with every team member rather than logging into accounts himself; the team sits in the Philippines, with an editor-in-chief reviewing every ad, page and SEO asset to his standard before it ships.
The stack is also different: Site Behavior analytics, our proprietary AI dashboard for CAC / ROI / CPL by channel, WhatConverts for lead and sale-value tracking, Fraud Blocker free on every Google Ads account.
Three themes show up in review after review. First, honesty: Josiah tells clients what's broken and what it will take to fix it, rather than selling them on optimism. Second, speed: many clients report measurable changes in the first 30 to 60 days, not after a six-month ramp period. Third, education: several reviewers specifically say they learned more about Google Ads in a few months with Josiah than they had in years of running campaigns themselves. One client put it this way: 'I actually understand what's happening with my own budget now.'
We guarantee we'll beat your current CTR, CAC, ROI or conversion rate inside 90 days. The retainer-fee refund applies only when you've paid 3 months upfront, that's the trade for offering a real performance guarantee at all rather than the meaningless ones most agencies attach to a 12-month lock-in.
Cancel any time with 30 days' notice from any month, which covers one additional billing cycle. No other refunds.
The reason we can offer that at all: about 9 in 10 of the ~200 Google Ads accounts Josiah audits each year are misconfigured somewhere, so for most new clients, fixing the structural issues alone moves the needle inside the first quarter.
There's an honest answer here: yes, there's a sales component. Josiah runs a business and the call exists partly to see if you're a good fit to work together. But it's not a pitch where you sit there and get talked at for 30 minutes. You'll walk away with a clear read on what's broken in your current marketing, where the biggest opportunity is, and what a realistic improvement looks like for your specific business. That's true whether you end up signing up or not. If you're not a fit, you'll be told that directly.
The most honest answer is: it depends on your business and where you're starting from. What the reviews show consistently is that clients who were spending money on ads with nothing to show for it start seeing measurable improvements within the first two months. The best way to get a direct answer for your specific situation is the free strategy call. Josiah will review your current setup and tell you plainly whether there's a meaningful return available, and what it would take to get there. If there isn't, he'll say that too.
