Key Facts
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a typical engagement with Dark Horse look like?
Most clients work with Dark Horse on a retainer or project basis across one or more services. The team typically starts with an audit or strategy session to understand your goals, then builds a tailored plan combining their SEO, PPC, content, social, and design capabilities as needed.

How do they approach web design alongside their digital marketing services?
