Patrick Brothers constructed a consumer lead program for us from scratch and now we're getting great, targeted customers wanting quotes from us on a daily basis. He really knows his stuff, and there's no way we could have created this on our own. Thanks Patrick!

SEO Review from Jacqueline Keen
For over ten years, our company has partnered with Sharp Guys to manage our website design and SEO strategy, and their impact on our business has been nothing short of exceptional. From the beginning, they have understood our industries unique needs and designed a website that not only looks professional but also serves as a powerful tool to connect with our customers.One of the standout qualities of Sharp Guys is their responsiveness. When we need updates or have questions, they often reply within an hour, ensuring that our digital presence remains up-to-date and competitive. Their proactive approach has saved us time and helped us stay ahead of the curve in our industry.Beyond just maintaining our website, Sharp Guys has consistently brought innovative marketing ideas to the table. A perfect example is the knife campaign: they developed a creative initiative that allowed prospects to sign up online to receive a knife, which was then personally delivered by our sales team. This campaign opened doors to hard-to-reach customers and has generated hundreds of new business opportunities over the years.Their expertise in digital advertising has also played a critical role in our growth. By setting up and optimizing our Google Ads campaigns and fine-tuning our keyword strategy, Sharp Guys has helped us steadily increase our inbound leads. The results speak for themselves: our quoted business has surpassed the million-dollar mark, proving that their approach is not just effective but also highly profitable.After a decade of working together, we can confidently say that Cody and the Sharp Guys crew is a valuable partner in our success. Their deep understanding of our industry, lightning-fast responsiveness, and innovative marketing strategies have made a significant impact on our business. We look forward to many more years of collaboration.

We are a new client having worked with Sharp Guys for a little over a year. They've been great to work with! They are excellent communicators, effectively addressing our website questions or resolving any functionality challenges. They've also offered very practical recommendations for improvements. Given we're a nonprofit, they've made the effort to understand our needs and our limitations in terms of funding and capacity and have become a key technology resource for our staff.

Sharp Guys built two great websites for us and have been incredibly responsive throughout the process—especially when we had a major issue that needed quick attention. It's awesome having a local partner you can easily reach and talk with. Highly recommend them for web design and support!

We have been working with the Sixth City team for about 6 years now and they have really helped us build our online presence. We work monthly hand in hand to come up with new campaigns and strategies. They are always thinking of new ways to generate leads and they are there for anything we need.

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.
