Mel and Paul are simply hands down the best in the digital space! I have been working with Mel for close to a year now and have nothing but praise and appreciation for her work! They manage my google ads account and are helping me achieve a 20.3 ROAS. CPC is 5.8% lower than the previous agency, conversion is up 6.4%. My budget is now going so much further than what it was with another so called "digital marketing agency". Mel does not set and forget but proactively monitors and make changes that are necessary for a successful campaign. Anything ads, strategy, web design and SEO go to Mel and Paul I highly recommend ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Working with Mel and Paul from Cultivate Digital was honestly one of the best decisions I’ve made for my business. Because they already knew me, I really wanted a team who got who I am—not just what I do, but how I connect with my clients as a celebrant. From the very beginning, they understood that my work is deeply personal, emotional, and all about storytelling. That understanding came through in every part of the process. They didn’t try to fit me into a template. Instead, they took the time to listen, ask thoughtful questions, and translate my personality and values into a website that feels completely authentic to me. The end result isn’t just beautiful—it genuinely reflects what I offer my clients and the kind of experience they can expect when they work with me. Mel and Paul were also incredibly easy to work with—professional, responsive, and genuinely invested in getting it right. I always felt supported and confident that they cared just as much about the outcome as I did. If you’re looking for a team who will truly understand you and bring your vision to life in a way that feels real and aligned, I can’t recommend Cultivate Digital highly enough.

Great work by the team at Cultivate. Both Paul and Mel were great to work with, and they were keen to resolve the look at feel with me. Loved that they were both very flexible and came up with different options. in terms of old vs new you cant really compare, as the new was rebuilt from the ground up. Pricing was great compared to others on the market, and payment process was quick and easy.

Mel and Paul helped me update my business website. I am delighted with their services as they reduced the cost of my online shop significantly and have always been prompt and responsive whenever I have got in touch or needed help with updates. They were even amazingly patient with me when I rang on Christmas Eve in a panic as I deleted a page instead of updating it. Problem fixed within the hour! Highly recommend Cultivate Digital for your website services. (I promise not to do this again Mel and Paul!).

The best team to work with. I always wanted a local business to help me design the logo and website for my newly formed company. After a quick Google search, I connected with Paul, CEO of Cultivate Digital and, from the very first call, he made the entire process seamless—clearly outlining timelines, expectations, and potential challenges upfront. The project took 4–6 weeks, during which we reviewed the work together and made refinements along the way. Paul and his team were consistently professional, responsive, and easy to work with. Even after launch, I continue to receive their ongoing support for security, maintenance, and updates, which gives me great peace of mind. I couldn’t recommend them more highly.

Melanie and Paul are running our google ads account very efficently and saving us lots of time. They are always available either by email or phone for any queries we have.
