      Advertising Review from Gracey Thompson

      We've had a great experience working with this Disruptive. We work specifically with Summer, Brad, and Derek. They are knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely care about helping our business succeed. They take the time to understand our goals, are always willing to answer questions, and consistently bring fresh ideas and valuable insights to the table. Its refreshing to work with an agency that feels like an extension of our own team rather than just another service provider. We truly appreciate everything they do and would highly recommend them!

      eCommerce Review from Anonymous

      Right after launching our campaigns with Disruptive, we saw results almost instantly. Our monthly revenue jumped from about $50,000 to over $70,000. Every key Google Ads metric improved, and by November, we were already nearing $550,000 in revenue, well on track to hit our $700,000 annual goal.

      PPC Review from Anonymous

      We’ve been working with Disruptive on a long-term PPC strategy, and they’re constantly optimizing campaigns and landing pages based on performance. They use Google Analytics to ensure accurate tracking, Unbounce for landing page testing, and run ads through Google and LinkedIn, with knowledgeable experts for each channel.

      Digital Marketing Review from Sean Henke

      Anderson Collaborative runs our marketing reporting, google ads, marketing, and supports our digital and print design. They feel like part of our team. Anderson Collaborative's team are sharp and on top of all the ad spend movements and tweaks, especially Nazareno and Trevor. Naz's advice regularly catches things we missed and points out dynamics for our team to chew on. Anderson Collaborative's design and editing team also adapts very well. Carolina helped us re-design our entire original cookbook to digital and hardcopy format, including an entire re-design to a different book size. Not easy to do, and they nailed it. They're now helping guide us through a TikTok Shop launch. When we disagree, they talk it through with us and we land somewhere that works. If you want an agency that cares about your business and can help in a lot of different areas, I'd recommend them highly

    • Steve Canfield

      5.0★

      Digital Marketing Review from Steve Canfield

      We brought Anderson Collaborative in to run Meta ads for The Curious Thing, our personalized portrait gift shop, after months of trying to figure it out on our own. On day one Trevor delivered a full funnel plan and a clean campaign structure, and he has kept sharpening it since: moving our campaigns to optimize for actual purchases, sending every ad straight to a create page with the right style and product already picked, and giving new creative its own budget so each test gets a fair read. What stands out most is how deep he goes. He dug through our pixel data and even our code to explain a shift in what customers were buying, worked out which audiences had really driven sales, and his reported numbers match our own payment records exactly. When we flag something, it gets handled quickly and explained clearly, and every update tells us what changed, why, and when we will review it. It is a genuine pleasure working with Trevor and the team. They feel like a partner who cares about our business, not just a vendor running ads. Highly recommend. Full disclosure: my wife previously worked at the agency. We now hire them directly as a paying client.

      Digital Marketing Review from Wendy Watson

      I highly recommend Anderson Collaborative. Trevor created a beautiful logo package for my company, Summer Salt Gymnastics. My company logo is better than I envisioned. He included horizontal and stacked versions in main colors, solid colors, and black/white for the logo package. He answered all of my messages and emails in a timely manner and put together many drafts until we reached the final product. Thank you Anderson Collaborative and Trevor for your communication, quality, and creativity.

5 Frequently Asked Questions About Search Engine Marketing Agencies

What is the difference between SEO and SEM?

The main difference between these two marketing branches is how they acquire traffic: Search Engine Optimization (SEO) earns traffic organically, while Search Engine Marketing (SEM) buys traffic through paid ads. 

AspectSEOSEM
Traffic sourceOrganic (unpaid)Paid (ads on search engines)
Cost modelNo cost-per-clickPay-per-click (PPC)

ControlLimited control over rankingsFull control over spend and targeting

What platforms are used for search engine marketing?

Search engine marketing runs mainly on paid search platforms. Google Ads leads globally, with regional and niche platforms used based on audience and market. 

  • Google Ads is the largest platform and covers Google Search, YouTube, Gmail, and partner sites. 
  • Microsoft Advertising (Bing Ads) reaches Bing, Yahoo, and AOL users. It often has lower CPCs. 
  • Amazon Ads shows search ads inside Amazon for product-driven campaigns. 
  • Apple Search Ads promotes apps within App Store search results. 
  • Baidu Ads is the primary platform in China. 
  • Yandex Ads is dominant in Russia and nearby markets. 

Can a search engine marketing company guarantee a #1 ranking?

No. An SEM agency cannot guarantee a #1 ranking. 

Search ads run on an auction, and ad rank depends on bid, ad quality, expected click-through rate, and landing page experience. Competitors change bids constantly, so positions shift in real time. 

Agencies control strategy, targeting, and optimization. They improve results, reduce costs, and increase conversions, but they do not control the auction or competitors, so no one can consistently promise the top spot. 

How much do SEM services cost?

Best SEM agencies typically charge between $100 and $300 per hour. Most businesses spend $500 to $5,000+ per month on SEM, while competitive industries can spend from $10,000 to $50,000+. Total cost combines ad spend and agency fees. 

  • Ad spend: You pay for each click, but some clicks cost a few dollars, while competitive keywords like legal or finance can go above $50 per click. Total spend depends on how many clicks you want and how competitive your market is. 
  • SEM companies’ monthly fees: 
    • $500 to $1,500 per month for basic setup and management 
    • $1,000 to $5,000 per month for full service and optimization 
    • $10,000 to $50,000+ for large-scale, multi-platform campaigns 

Search engine marketing agencies can also charge a percentage of ad spend, usually between 5% and 20%. 

As a general rule, many companies allocate around 10% to 12% of revenue to SEM and digital advertising. 

How long does it take to see SEM results?

SEM companies can deliver results for paid search within days, while SEO takes months to build traffic and rankings. 

Paid search can drive traffic almost immediately after launch. Early results appear within hours or days, but campaigns need a few weeks to stabilize. Most accounts become efficient within 2 to 8 weeks, and performance becomes stronger after 2 to 3 months. 

SEO works much more slowly. The first 1 to 3 months usually go into technical fixes, content creation, and indexing. Noticeable traffic growth often occurs between 3 and 6 months for less-competitive terms. Strong rankings and consistent traffic typically take 6 to 12 months or more, especially for new websites.
