Highly recommend them without reservation.

      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.

      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.

      The team at Midas Marketing is great to work with. They revamped our website and helped a great deal with our logo and brochures. We love how Alex's design looks on our new t-shirts and the brochures are awesome! At our last event, we received a ton of compliments about how our marketing material looked and we flew through all of our printed material. We have seen massive increases in the traffic through our website and interest in our product. Keep up the good work!

      Digital Marketing Review from Chris Barry

      Midas Marketing really hit the nail on the head for my digital marketing needs. Kris came up with good ideas due to his extensive current understanding of what search engines like google are looking for. Octopus Home Inspections went from page 8 in google listings to page 3 within a month and have hit page one intermittently after four months of a campaign, and never slipped past the top of page two. My money is well spent with Midas.

      Great people. Had a very minor issue with them once and the way they handled it spoke volumes about the honest way they do business. When problems arise that’s when you really see how good or bad a company is, and they showed me they were top notch and trustworthy. Highly recommend.

      Michael Rominske's Review Sourced from Google

      Dacie went the extra mile to make our website look and feel like a much more expensive custom site, despite our working with a standard template. She is very clear and concise in explaining the process, timing and expectations upfront so you know what you’re getting. From there, on-boarding was a breeze with her standardized forms and shared drive. Most importantly, she understood that we were designers and had a designer’s eye and was able to convey that in the details of the site. We’re so happy with the results.

      ELAINE FRANKLIN's Review Sourced from Google

      Dacie is a thorough and creative professional, who meets deadlines with much appreciated efficiency. She understands the nuances of campaigns, both political and business. Her instincts are superior. She pulls out headlines and images from messaging and turns them into web sites that are visually pleasing, hit the mark and are easy to navigate.

Frequently Asked Questions

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. 

Aspect SEO SEM
Traffic source Organic (unpaid) Paid (ads on search engines)
Cost model No cost-per-click Pay-per-click (PPC)
Result speed Slow, builds over time Fast, immediate visibility
Placement Organic search results Top and bottom ad placements
Strategy Content, technical setup, backlinks Bidding, ad copy, targeting
Long-term value High, compounding over time Stops when the budget stops
Control Limited control over rankings Full 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.
