Customer reputation
Surreal Marketing wins on review-sample size.
Both agencies held 5.0 Google snapshots in the Phase 2 evidence set. Surreal’s 32 reviews exceed Impact’s 14, so the reputation evidence is stronger under the same methodology. Impact’s 14-review sample is nevertheless one of the stronger verified snapshots in the evaluated field.
Portfolio and platform experience
Impact Website Services wins for explicit multi-platform visibility; Surreal wins for broader project types.
Impact’s official portfolio names WordPress, Wix, Shopify, and Squarespace work plus on-page and local SEO assignments. Surreal’s portfolio spans public-facing websites and its wider service menu includes ecommerce, apps, and software. Platform variety is not automatically better than custom development; it matters when a business already has a platform constraint.
Pricing and process
Surreal Marketing provides more concrete public buying information.
Surreal publishes a $750 starting point and a free working demo before approval. Impact says it aims to keep pricing affordable but does not publish a stable project range. That makes Impact quote-required, not necessarily more expensive. Buyers should compare the exact page count, content, ecommerce, SEO, hosting, maintenance, and ownership included.
Local and service fit
Surreal is stronger for Cedar City-specific breadth; Impact is a credible Iron County owner-led option.
Surreal explicitly positions itself in Cedar City and serves statewide clients. Impact is based in nearby New Harmony and emphasizes personal, owner-led work for startups and small businesses. A buyer who values a single accountable practitioner and familiar website platforms may prefer Impact.
Who is better for custom development?
Surreal Marketing is the clearer choice for apps, software, and technically broader work.
Surreal publicly offers mobile apps and custom software in addition to websites and marketing. Impact’s observable public evidence is strongest for websites, redesigns, ecommerce platforms, and SEO. Buyers should not assume unsupported capabilities beyond those published.
