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.

Daniela Escamez Review from Google

Daniela Escamez's Review Sourced from Google
Influencer Hero has become part of my everyday workflow. Everything I need is in one place, from discovering creators (their tools and filters are excellent!) to managing outreach with email flows and clear status tracking. You can even handle payments directly through the platform, which makes the process so much easierI also love the design: it’s clean, friendly, and easy on the eyes, no overwhelming clutter or unnecessary buttons, so no user paralysis, just what you need to get work done efficiently.They’re constantly rolling out new features, and the best part by far is their support team. They’re so friendly, and always willing to guide you through their software, take feedback, and help whenever you need it.I’d 100% recommend Influencer Hero over other massive outreach platforms, it’s more efficient, userfriendly, and genuinely supported by a team that cares.

Madden Tools's Review Sourced from Google
This was a great platform for our small business and the Influencer Hero team worked hard to help our start up get going. We will be reaching back out to the Influencer Hero team for our next marketing campaign. It saved us so many hours of trying to manage the email flows ourselves and the database they have for influencers is massive

Kiko Yin's Review Sourced from Google
Influencer Hero has been a powerful platform for scaling our influencer campaigns. It brings everything together—from outreach to onboarding—in one clean, efficient dashboard. The ability to send mass emails has made our workflow much smoother compared to relying on DMs or TikTok Shop tools. We’ve onboarded two brands with Influencer Hero so far and have been really impressed by how easy it is to run large-scale gifting programs. The customer support is also outstanding—Teresita, our rep, has been incredibly responsive and supportive every step of the way.

Jack Zwennes's Review Sourced from Google
I've been working with Performance Heroes for a couple of years now. With their help and expertise we were able to rapidly scale our e-mail marketing efforts in the German market. My contact person is Jamal Thiem, who did not only help me scale e-mail marketing, but also stands out in thinking along and finding new and creative solutions to get an optimal marketing mix. Over the years he was not only a contact person, but also gained a lot of knowledge on the markets we operate on which allowed him to stay on top of changes and therefore was able to navigate and implement new ideas in a fast and efficient way. Would highly recommend Performance Heroes.

Frequently Asked Questions About Affiliate Marketing Firms
What services do affiliate marketing companies provide?
Affiliate marketing agencies provide a broad spectrum of services aimed at elevating businesses’ commissions and revenue through a network of partners or affiliates.
While many people associate affiliates strictly with social media influencers and public figures, professional affiliate marketing agencies manage a much broader ecosystem of niche content creators, review sites, coupon and loyalty portals, and larger media publishers.
These partners promote a product or service to their established audiences, earning a commission only when a verified sale or lead is generated through their unique tracking affiliate link. An affiliate program generally follows a B2C (business-to-consumer) model, but B2B arrangements also exist.
Key services of affiliate marketing companies encompass:
Program setup
Affiliate marketing strategy
Partners recruitment
Commission management
Affiliate vetting
Performance reporting
What types of affiliate marketing are there?
Affiliate marketing is traditionally categorized by the relationship between the marketer and the product, as well as the promotional medium used. Professional affiliate engagement typically falls into three distinct categories:
Involved affiliate marketing: This model relies on firsthand experience. The affiliate uses and endorses the product through reviews and tutorials. This type has shown to deliver a better conversion rate and make the business a trusted brand.
Related affiliate marketing: The marketer operates within the same industry or niche as the product but does not necessarily use it personally. For example, a financial blog may promote a specific credit card to its established audience.
Unattached affiliate marketing: A purely performance-based model where the affiliate has no direct connection to the product or its niche. The affiliate runs pay-per-click (PPC) campaigns and places the affiliate link in ads, hoping consumers click and purchase.
How much do these services cost?
Across industries, the median affiliate commission rates stand at 5% to 30% of the sale amount. This percentage tends to be higher when collaborating with retail, beauty, and fashion brands, while B2B, electronics and other high-end products pay on the lower end. And that's only for the commissions payout.
To this sum, businesses need to factor in an additional $2,000 to $10,000 per month for the affiliate marketing company. The scope usually dictates the service fee, finalized based on the number of affiliates, campaign setup, creative production, reporting, and optimization.
In terms of the payment method, there are a few main models to choose from:
Pay-per-sale: Pays a percentage of earn commissions
Pay-per-lead: Pays for qualified referrals
Pay-per-click: Offers small payments per each visitor
Pay-per-install: Pays for each app/software download and install
How are commissions usually tiered?
Affiliate marketing companies usually structure the commission based on the complexity of the conversion and the level of creator influence. Here are the average commissions and payouts businesses can expect:
Reach and engagement: 5% to 20%
Revenue-share tiers: 15% to 30%
Flat fee or revenue-share agreements: Around 15%
Referred sale commission: 5% to 25%
Performance-based influencer compensation: 5% to 20%
What is the difference between affiliate marketing and influencer marketing?
The main distinction between affiliate marketing and influencer marketing lies in the primary objective and the corresponding compensation structure.
Affiliate marketing is primarily a performance-oriented model whereaffiliates earn commissions exclusively for prompting specific actions. The engagement delivers immediate return on investment (ROI) and functions as a direct sales channel. Consequently, the relationship between the brand and the affiliate is purely transactional.
By contrast, influencer marketing uses a creator's social influence and audience to cultivate brand awareness and brand trust. Compensation in this model typically involves an upfront flat fee or product gifting in exchange for creative content and visibility.
In essence, affiliate marketing agencies focus on the bottom of the sales funnel, while influencer agencies target the top by putting more emphasis on the narrative and brand resonance.
