charles lambert's Review Sourced from Google
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!

Anthony Hawkins's Review Sourced from Google
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.

As a result of their work on my website, the site rating on GTmetrix went from an E to an A! I am more than happy to recommend Dusan and W-Outsourcing to anyone looking for web design services or simply looking to improve their website. Their integrity, responsiveness, and most importantly, expertise separate them from the rest of the field. I would definitely hire them again!

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.

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.
