      SEO Review from Andrew Hardgrove

      Our company worked with Harris & Ward for many years before we decided to explore being acquired by a national fire protection company. Harris & Ward played an important role in helping us maximize the value of our business by positioning us as the go-to provider for our services in the local market. Our financials reflected that growth, but so did our presence on Google. We were even outranking the company looking to acquire us in our own market, which really impressed them during the acquisition process. I have nothing but positive things to say about the Harris & Ward team. They truly understand their industry, and the results they helped us achieve had a real impact on the value and visibility of our business. I would highly recommend them.

      Harris & Ward really helped to turn around our Orthodontic practice marketing. They not only rebuilt our website but actually came to our offices to shoot the videos and stills used for content. In addition, they successfully grew our organic search, managed our GBP and provided strategies for digital ad campaigns. Todd and his team are professional, responsive and very easy to work with. I would recommend this group to any business!

      My nonprofit attended several of the trainings that Third Marble conducts on digital presence, SEO management, and our Google Profiles. Every year, we track how well we're able to generate traffic to our website. Hands down, after learning from Third Marble Marketing how to manage some of the processes on the back end, we absolutely saw traffic growth from 2023 to 2024 -- not only did we suspect it, but we have Google Analytics data to back that growth feel up. Thank you so much for your help, Third Marble!!

      S B's Review Sourced from Google

      I’ve been working with Tim Goad and the team at Third Marble Marketing for the past three months, and I can confidently say they’ve been a godsend. I had used Google Ads before, but without fully understanding how to work the algorithm, it felt like I was just pouring money down the drain. Since teaming up with Tim and his team, everything has changed.Not only have I saved money on advertising, but I’ve also learned how to make my money work for me. For the first time, I’m seeing real ROI—something I’ve been hoping for over the years but hadn’t quite achieved until now.Before, I relied on methods like Every Door Direct Mail (EDDM) through the USPS, blindly targeting people by ZIP code and hoping for the best. With Third Marble’s strategic approach to Google Ads, I’m now able to reach people actively searching for exactly what my business offers. These are customers genuinely interested in what we provide, and the results show it.While it hasn’t been an overnight success, compared to the money I used to spend for little to no return, it feels like real growth.I’ve tried working with other marketing companies, both domestic and international, and none of them have come close to what Third Marble has delivered. They’ve far exceeded my expectations in service, results, and care.To Tim, Kate, Tyler, Liz, and everyone else on the team—thank you. I’m beyond grateful. Writing this review is a joy because it’s rare to find a company that truly makes a difference. If you’re struggling with online marketing or considering using Third Marble Marketing, let my experience speak for itself. This team delivers, and I’m so proud to be working with them.

      Oyova has continuously proven to be a fantastic partner to our team! They are knowledgable, easy to work with, and come to the table ready to collaborate. When seeking a business relationship, the hope is always that it’s seamless, and that’s exactly the experience we’ve had with them. Whether we have a simple question or a complex need, they remain a team that we can rely on. My primary point-of-contact is Beth, and she’s been wonderful! She’s not only great at keeping things on track, she’s also kind and approachable. In fact, I’ve collaborated with multiple members at Oyova and everyone has made it easy to build a long-term, trusting relationship with them. If you have the chance, work with them. You’ll be glad you did!

      Steve Drury of Web-aviso made getting my books published and promoted a breeze. He did everything allowing me to just worry about writing it! He then used his own network to promote it internationally. I would not have written the two books he has handled for me without his help and expertise!Thanks to his work, my books are handsome, hardcover books (he even designed the attractive cover art for me) with very exquisite, appropriate artwork scattered throughout!All this with no money from me, just a very fair percentage of sales income for his efforts!

      I required a personalised book designed and printed in a short time frame, and Steve was recommended to me. I have no technical expertise in this field and at all stages of the design proofing and printing my hand was held by Steve, via supporting and informative emails. His consummate experience and patience made me extremely comfortable with a new experience and the result exceeded my expectations. I cannot recommend his services highly enough and unreservedly give him a FIVE STAR recommendation.

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)
Result speedSlow, builds over timeFast, immediate visibility
PlacementOrganic search resultsTop and bottom ad placements
StrategyContent, technical setup, backlinksBidding, ad copy, targeting
Long-term valueHigh, compounding over timeStops when the budget stops
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.
