Digital Services Review from Paloma Anguiano
Overall I feel very confident working with Patrizia and Darius from Smart Site, they have given us clear explanations and accompanied us throughout the process for the growth of the brand. The attention to us is very fast and they advise us in an adequate way.
Digital Services Review from Brianna Porter
SmartSites impressed me from day one. They are knowledgable, kind, and most importantly keep things simple and streamlined so that even an SEO-newb like me can understand. Tiffany and Luna are my main points of contact and they are especially great! I would recommend to anyone looking for an agency to really take their website and digital presence to the next level.
PPC Review from Jim Curry
At first, a survey was conducted to gather company background, product information, target markets, etc. Next, accounts were established on various Google Business platforms, social media, etc. Then SmartSites created the ads and campaigns, and we were off and running in just a few weeks.

United States advertising companies prepare promotional campaigns for channels like search, social, connected TV, retail media, and out-of-home.
In essence, they help businesses turn attention into visibility, demand, sales, and sustained brand equity.
By orchestrating campaigns across multiple touchpoints, B2B advertising agencies enable companies to reach customers where they actually spend time and optimize each dollar invested.
In the last decade, advertising hasn’t stopped seizing momentum.
Global ad spending (excluding US political ads) is forecast to reach $1.14 trillion in 2025, with digital advertising capturing around 72.7% of that spend.
According to Gartner, companies allocate around 7.7% of total company revenue to marketing and advertising.
The US remains the world’s biggest ad market, with spending on track to hit $455.9 billion by 2025.
TV and video account for the largest segment, accounting for$353.9 billion of the ad spend.
Additionally, programmatic ads are expected to drive 85% of industry revenue, reinforcing their role at the center of modern advertising.
When broken down by industry, the numbers show a clear preference toward digital.
Over 80% of US ad spend across tech/electronics (87.1%), retail (82.9%), and consumer packaged goods (80.2%) niche is allocated for digital media.
Tech and electronics companies rarely invest in traditional advertising, putting only 12.9% of their budget into print, radio, TV, or OOH.
Retail isn’t far behind, with just 17.1% of the ad spend going to legacy formats.
The timeline for top advertising agencies to complete a project in the US depends on the type of ad.
For performance creative work, agencies can usually launch testable ads within 7-14 business days after onboarding, if the assets and brand guidelines have been defined. Here’s a breakdown of the timeline:
By comparison, full production campaigns (video/TV-style commercials), i.e., ads that require filming and heavier production, can be delivered within 4 to 8 weeks. Namely, it takes:

Before hiring an advertising agency in the United States, we recommend asking some of the following questions:
Every agency is independently vetted before it can be listed or ranked
Some agencies pay for sponsored placement, clearly labeled and held to the same vetting standards.
Leading advertising agencies in the United States plan, create, and launch compelling advertising campaigns across digital and traditional media channels to amplify businesses’ brand awareness, customer engagement, digital presence, and sales.
According to our market analysis, the most prominent service offerings for online advertising companies in the US include:
Advertising costs in the US start from $900 for digital campaigns and can go as high as $100,000 for TV ads. The pricing depends on the region, platform, campaign, reach, targeting, creative quality, and the channel.
Overall, the estimates present a stark contrast between the high, fixed expense of traditional television and the flexible options in digital media.
| Type of media channel | Platform / campaign type | Cost |
| Traditional | Television ads (local production) | Start at ~$1,000 |
| Traditional | Television ads (national campaigns) | Up to $8 million (average 30-second national ad costs around $350,000) |
| Digital | Facebook campaigns | $2,500 – $9,000 per month |
| Digital | LinkedIn campaigns | $2,000 – $4,000 per month |
| Digital | Instagram campaigns | $1,000 – $1,600 per month |
| Digital | X (formerly Twitter) campaigns | $900 – $1,600 per month |
| Digital | Google Ads (banner ads) | $1 – $3 per click (CPC) or $2 – $5 per thousand impressions (CPM) |
| Digital | Programmatic ads | Generally start around $2 per thousand impressions (CPM) |
The expected time to realize a return on investment (ROI) from advertising depends on the specific channel:
Approximate timeframes for advertising projects are:
Depending on the platform, top ad agencies typically update creatives every 2-6 weeks, while targeting and bid/keyword adjustments are often reviewed weekly.
Here’s how often other ads are typically updates once a campaign is live:
Generally, updates are prompted by creative fatigue or targeting inefficiencies, i.e., when click-through rates drop, cost per acquisition rises, or conversion rates fall.
