Our take

Blackhawk is a full-service Austin agency that bundles SEO with web design, paid search, social, and branding, which works well for local and regional Texas businesses that want one vendor for everything. Because its menu is broad and it serves many industries, SEO is one service line among many rather than a deep single specialty.

A practical one-stop shop for Texas businesses wanting SEO alongside web and ads, less suited to those needing a deep SEO-only specialist.

About Blackhawk Digital Marketing

Blackhawk Digital Marketing is a full-service digital marketing agency based in Austin, Texas, founded in 2016 by Jonathan Windham, who previously held marketing roles at Bazaarvoice, Cisco, and Hewlett-Packard. The agency positions itself as a steady, all-in-one growth partner for Texas brands and reports serving more than 600 clients across over 30 industries. Its services span website design and development, SEO (technical, on-site, local, and off-page), paid search and social advertising, social media, branding, and content and email marketing. A real differentiator is its breadth combined with flexible engagement models, offering one-off projects, monthly subscriptions, and tiered retainers rather than a single fixed package. Blackhawk is a strong fit for small and mid-sized businesses and local service providers that want a single agency to handle multiple marketing channels with hands-on account management. It is a weaker fit for companies seeking a narrow, single-channel specialist or an enterprise-scale partner.

Black Hawk Marketing has been an exceptional company to work with, and I can confidently say they truly stand behind their work. What sets them apart is not just the quality of their strategies, but the dedication and passion of their entire team. They approach every campaign with care, energy, and a genuine commitment to results. We have been working with Black Hawk for over three years, and during that time, our account has continued to grow steadily under their management. They have consistently provided us with clear insights, actionable recommendations, and innovative ideas that align with our brand’s goals. Their responsiveness and willingness to go the extra mile make them more than just a marketing vendor—they are a true partner in our success. Looking ahead, we are excited to continue building on this relationship and are confident that with Black Hawk’s support, our marketing efforts will keep reaching new levels. I would highly recommend their team to any business that values ACCOUNTABILITY, creativity, and a results-driven approach.

Highly recommend!! Blackhawk has been a game-changer for my company. We hired Blackhawk to create a new website for our business and I was blown away at what they created for us! We now have a beautiful e-commerce website that was customized for our unique needs. In addition to creating our new website, Blackhawk has been managing our advertising and the results have been wonderful. I love that they are all so friendly, responsive, helpful, thorough, organized and knowledgeable. They make me feel like we are their own client, which really means a lot. They really prioritize our needs and it feels like they are as invested in my company’s success as much as me

Blackhawk is top notch. They did a fantastic job developing a couple websites for my company and I cannot say enough about their thoroughness and clear communication throughout the process. Knowledgeable, friendly, and reliable are all words I would use to describe the Blackhawk team. It has been a pleasure working with them and I look forward to working with them in the future.

We switched to Blackhawk Digital Marketing 2.5 years ago, and have been extremely pleased. We evaluated several companies, but only Blackhawk provided the range of services from initial Strategy through web site hosting and technical support to strong marketing through website SEO, Google Profile management, and Google ads. I meet with Blackhawk every month to review our numbers, discuss any changes in the business or areas we want to focus on in the coming months. I am very pleased with the transparency and professionalism of each and every individual I've interacted with at Blackhawk, and the thoroughness of their work. They also have a wonderfully friendly but persistent way of reminding me if they are waiting on something I have promised to send their way, to keep us all on track. I have nothing but good things to say about our experience, and highly recommend Blackhawk Digital Marketing.
