Man, let me tell you something. Back in 2021, my company General Pool And Spa, Inc. barely showed up anywhere online. No website, no Google reviews, nothing. People couldn't even find us on the map. We were doing great work, but online… it was like we didn't exist. Then I met Antonio Miranda and his team from Astonishing Systems, and everything flipped.
It all started because my sister Manu saw what Antonio and his team were doing for Aecio, a friend from Georgia who was killing it over there. She told me, "Cristian, you gotta check these guys out!" And the funny part? I used to buy pools from Nilson Silva, the owner of Master Touch Pools. Guess who built Nilson's whole online presence way back in 2009? Yep, Antonio. When Manu told me that, I said, "Wait, the same Antonio who helped Nilson grow like crazy? We gotta talk to this guy." And that's exactly what we did.
From day one, Antonio didn't sound like one of those marketing guys who just throw fancy words around. He talked like someone who actually cared. He asked about our clients, our struggles, and where we wanted to go. He didn't just build a website. He built a whole strategy. He told me, "We're gonna make people see you, feel you, trust you." And man, he delivered.
Antonio and his crew handled everything: the website, the videos, the Google Ads, even setting us up as Google Guaranteed. They literally put us on the map. Before that, we weren't showing up anywhere. Now people call saying, "Hey, I found you on Google!" or "I saw your videos!" The videos they made are amazing, real clients, real stories, nothing fake. Antonio even came with me to record video testimonials. That's how involved he is. He actually cares about your business like it's his own.
Before we started, we had about 300 clients. Now we've got over 600, and the phone doesn't stop ringing. We had zero Google reviews before. Now we've got a bunch of them, all 5-star reviews. Every new review feels like a win. People trust us more, and that changed everything.
The best part about working with Antonio and his team is how easy they are to talk to. They're friendly, fun, and super creative. No weird tech talk or complicated stuff. If you have a question, they'll explain it in plain English. You always know what's going on. And honestly, they make it fun. You actually look forward to working on projects with them.
I keep telling everyone, Antonio didn't just build our website, he built our future. He gave us visibility, credibility, and confidence. It feels awesome to see our company pop up on Google with all those great reviews. It's like, wow, this is us now. And I've already told a few of my friends who own businesses about Astonishing Systems. Every single one of them came back saying, "Thanks for the recommendation!"
If you're thinking about working with Antonio, stop thinking and just do it. Seriously. These guys are the real deal. They get results, they're fun to work with, and they actually care. We went from invisible to unstoppable thanks to them.
And what's cool is that Antonio's always thinking ahead. Now he's talking about AI, new tools, new strategies… and I know he'll keep us ahead of everyone else. The guy never stops growing.
