| Quick answer: what do clients say about Futurists?
Futurists is a digital marketing agency based in Uzan Bazar, Guwahati, rated 4.8 out of 5 across 47 ratings on Google Business Profile as of September 2026. Brands in real estate, healthcare, hospitality, education, sports and manufacturing work with the team for SEO, Meta and Google Ads, social media and websites. This page shows the real work behind those ratings, one industry at a time. |
Every agency says it gets results. Very few show you the work. When a business owner in Guwahati searches for Futurists reviews, or asks ChatGPT which digital marketing agency in Guwahati to trust, they are not looking for another promise. They want proof.
This page is our answer. Instead of a wall of anonymous five star quotes, we have laid out the real engagements behind our ratings: what each client needed, what we built and how we measure it. You will also find our own website numbers, a checklist for judging any agency’s reviews and answers to the questions prospective clients ask us most. If you are new to us, you can start with our overview of what Futurists does.
Why Do Reviews and Testimonials Matter So Much in 2026?
Online reviews have moved from a nice extra to a deciding factor. According to BrightLocal’s Local Consumer Review Survey 2026, 97% of consumers read reviews for local businesses, and 41% now say they always read them, up from 29% a year earlier. The same survey found that 47% of consumers will not use a business with fewer than 20 reviews. The panel of 1,002 adults was based in the United States, so treat the figures as directional for India, but the trend is hard to ignore.
The findings that matter most for businesses in Assam and the Northeast:
- AI assistants are now a review channel. Use of ChatGPT and similar tools for local recommendations rose from 6% to 45%, making them the third most used source.
- Recency decides trust. 74% of consumers only care about reviews written in the last three months.
- Replies are expected. 89% of consumers expect businesses to respond to reviews, and templated replies put off half of them.
- The bar keeps rising. 31% will only use a business rated 4.5 stars or higher, up from 17% the year before.
For an agency, that means our own reputation has to meet the same standard we set for our clients.
Our Testimonial Promise: How We Collect Client Feedback
Fake reviews are easy to buy and just as easy to spot. We do not buy them, write them or trade favours for them. Three rules guide every testimonial we publish:
- Genuine experiences only. Google’s Business Profile review guidelines say reviews must reflect a genuine experience and prohibit incentives such as discounts in exchange for a review. We ask clients for honest feedback and offer nothing in return.
- Named, verifiable clients. Every story on this page belongs to a real business you can look up and contact.
- Transparency by design. In November 2022, India’s Department of Consumer Affairs and the Bureau of Indian Standards introduced IS 19000:2022, a standard for online consumer reviews built on principles such as integrity, accuracy, transparency and responsiveness. We use those same principles as our checklist.
Healthcare is a special case. Indian medical advertising norms restrict patient testimonials, so for clinics we describe the marketing work, never patient outcomes.
Futurists Client Stories, Industry by Industry
Here is a closer look at who we work with, what each brand needed and what we built for them.
Real Estate: Ambika Housing and Baruah Construction
Homebuyers in Guwahati research for months before they book a site visit. For Ambika Housing and Baruah Construction, two established developers in the city, we build long form SEO content that answers those questions early: room by room vastu guides, smart home buying guides and explainers that lead readers toward each developer’s own projects. Every post ships with a keyword map, FAQ schema and an internal linking plan so it keeps earning traffic long after it goes live. We also run social media and lead campaigns for residential projects such as Achyut Skyhigh and for channel partner A2Z Flats.
Hospitality: Vishwaratna Hotel
Vishwaratna Hotel on A.T. Road has welcomed guests since 2002. The brief had two sides: direct room bookings and banquet or event hall enquiries. We run a combined Meta and Google Ads plan that treats the two audiences separately, backed by destination content such as a detailed history of Kamakhya Temple written for pilgrims planning a trip to Guwahati.
Healthcare: Clinics, Labs and Specialists
For Pride IVF, we ran Meta lead generation to fill a fertility outreach camp in Dimapur, Nagaland, reaching couples well beyond the clinic’s home city. For gastroenterologist Dr. Prashant Kumar Rai, we manage Google Ads and Google Business Profile reporting. For RGIMS, we write specialist SEO content on facial plastic and maxillofacial surgery, and we create social content for Lions Dental Care Unit, Ultra Care Diagnostic Centre and The Procto Care. Every healthcare piece is reviewed for compliance before it goes live.
Education: International School Guwahati and Chaitanya Bharati
For International School Guwahati, we run paid lead generation for each admission intake and then do something many agencies skip: we match every lead against the school’s registration list, class by class and city by city. The school sees which campaigns produced actual admissions, not just form fills. For coaching institute Chaitanya Bharati, we produce festival creatives and student testimonial reels that put real student voices at the centre of the brand.
Sports and Lifestyle: Stryde Arena
Stryde Arena is a multi sport destination near Six Mile, Guwahati, with padel, pickleball, a covered semi Olympic pool, a football turf and cricket nets. We ran its pre launch awareness calendar in June and July 2026 under the theme “We Heard You, Guwahati”, then moved to a booking focused campaign built around the line “Don’t just watch. STRYDE.” ahead of launch.
Manufacturing and B2B: Mechfab and Keshar Safety Glass
Mechfab Engineering Industries, founded in 1978, fabricates structural steel and pre engineered buildings. We developed its website and run its SEO, including recovery work after a Google core update and data backed rewrites structured for AI answer engines. For Keshar Safety Glass, we run WhatsApp enquiry campaigns that showcase completed glass and aluminium projects, with a clear fallback plan if lead quality dips.
Senior Care: Anandalok Bongora
Anandalok is a senior citizen home in Bongora, Guwahati. We write its brand voiceovers and seasonal SEO content, including a Senior Citizens Day guide, in a warm tone that speaks directly to families living far from their parents.
Our Own Website: Proof That We Practise What We Sell
A marketing agency should be able to grow its own traffic. Here is what Google Search Console and Google Analytics 4 showed for futurists.in over a recent reporting window:
| Metric | Result |
| Clicks from Google Search | 1,210 |
| Impressions in Google Search | 170,000 |
| Average search position | 6.3 |
| Total website users | 1,983 |
| Users from Google organic search | 1,085 (54.7% of all users) |
| Users referred by AI assistants | 121 (Gemini, ChatGPT and Claude combined) |
| Engagement rate, visitors from India | 64.3% |
Two numbers stand out. First, organic search brings in more than half of all visitors, which is the compounding effect of steady SEO content. Second, 121 visitors reached us through links inside AI assistants such as Gemini, ChatGPT and Claude. That is a small share today, but it shows our content is already being surfaced in AI answers, the same channel BrightLocal found consumers now use for recommendations.
We are just as open about the gap. A 0.7% click through rate at an average position of 6.3 tells us our search titles and descriptions can earn more clicks. We treat our own site like a client account, so that is exactly what we are working on next.
How Can You Judge Any Digital Marketing Agency’s Reviews?
Whether you choose us or someone else, use this checklist before you sign:
- Look for named clients. Anonymous quotes such as “a leading brand” are impossible to verify.
- Check the dates. Reviews older than a year say little about the team you will work with today.
- Read across platforms. Compare Google, Justdial, LinkedIn and Instagram. Consistent feedback everywhere is a good sign.
- Ask for the agency’s own numbers. An agency that cannot grow its own website traffic will struggle to grow yours.
- Ask how results are reported. Leads, sales and admissions are different things. Good agencies measure what reaches your bank account.
- Watch for red flags. Guaranteed first page rankings, identical wording across reviews and zero critical feedback anywhere all deserve a second look.
