As EMEA Strategic Partnerships lead at Gorgias, I had the chance to work on some different projects with Velstar: co-marketing, webinars, common clients, etc.... Dan, Peter, Charlotte, etc... are always very professional and reactive. Velstar works with some of our clients for their development / marketing needs and feedbacks are always very positive. Cherry on the cake, they're very fun!

Bad customer relationship management. Bad advisory. Do not respect customer timelines. They sell you not what your company needs but what is convenient for them according to their “sponsor” contracts. Please choose better your Shopify developing partner!

Been with Velstar for a few years now they are incredibly knowledgeable about all aspects of SEO and were incredibly transparent with what they were doing and why. Incredible professional all around.
