SEO Review from Kao Khamphilavong
I own multiple bubble tea shops around the Portland, OR area and I don't know much about SEO and website development. Luckily I was referred to Adam and Muon Marketing. Adam took over my SEO and website development concerns and let me focus on what I do best which is growing my company. The website looks great and we continue to move way up in the Google ranking! There is no way I couldn't have done it without his help. Thank you so much Adam!

Kerry Jamison's Review Sourced from Google
It was a pleasure working with Robert Long on a complete revamp of our company website. Our business has used his services for decades but it was the first experience for me.Robert had the creative vision and technical expertise to make the website do everything we needed it to do for an easy-to-navigate, intuitive, user-friendly experience, all while keeping the look and feel of the brand. The final product is more than I ever imagined, providing both helpful information and a strong marketing tool.Robert was an excellent project manager and true professional, building a framework from the start, checking in throughout the process with updates, and able to flex in different aspects as our business offerings evolved. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Seller's Bay to anyone looking to build or remodel their website.

Robert with Sellers Bay is all over it. I hired him to build us a new website and manage our Google face to the public. I had a meeting with him prior to start and he was all over it after that meeting. Started almost immediately and got us built up fast. Now we are getting calls based on the Google ads. We have been so pleased with his work we are going to have him move and improve our other website too. I highly recommend Robert with Sellers Bay.

I needed a website built for my new Bakery and Cafe food trailer business. I found Bite Craft online and have worked with Marcos on getting this project set up. The communication between us has been FANTASTIC!!! Above and Beyond! We were having troubles getting Square to work properly. Marcos sent step by step instructions, was constantly helping trouble shoot the problems by screenshots send via emails. He has been patient with me, helped me, answered any questions that came up. I initially was working with another company, but it just wasn't a good fit. Not like Bite Craft is! We HIGHLY recommend Bite Craft Web Design! Thank you, Marcos, for all the hard work and dedication you did for us!!

Reviews verified by DesignRush and sourced from the agency's profile View All Reviews
When hiring Google Ads services in the US, most businesses pay between $1,500 and $5,000 per month in agency management fees, separate from the ad budget paid directly to Google, while percentage-based pricing commonly ranges between 10% and 20% of ad spend.
Cost is usually driven by:
Number of campaigns
Geographic targeting complexity
Conversion tracking requirements
Landing page involvement
Volume of creative testing
How do I know if I'm hiring the right Google Ads agency in the USA for my budget?
The right agency for your budget is the one that can explain exactly how it will allocate resources before it talks about results.
To evaluate the fit, ask your prospects:
Who will manage your account daily?
How many accounts do they personally handle?
What optimization happens weekly vs monthly?
How is performance tied to revenue, not clicks?
What will they not do with your budget?
As a rule of thumb, when comparing Google Ads agencies in the US, clarity of process is often a stronger predictor of success than portfolio size.
What is a realistic timeline to see results from my Google Ads engagement?
Most Google Ads campaigns begin producing reliable optimization signals within 30 to 90 days, depending on conversion volume and tracking quality.
Google explicitly notes that Smart Bidding strategies require a learning period before performance stabilizes as the system adapts to conversion signals and auction dynamics.
What this means in practice:
Week 1-2
Tracking validation and fixes
Campaign restructuring
Initial keyword and audience setup
Week 3–4
Early search term refinement
Negative keyword expansion
Baseline performance formation
Month 2
First meaningful optimization cycle
Ad variation testing begins producing directional data
Month 3
Stable performance trends emerge
Budget allocation becomes more efficient
What do Google Ads agencies in the US charge that most buyers don't expect?
Most buyers don't expect to pay extra for conversion tracking, CRM integrations, landing page optimization, and creative production, as these are often excluded from a US Google Ads agency's base management fee.
What's the difference between a good agency and an average one in this space?
Good Google Ads agencies in the United States optimize for revenue and qualified pipeline, while average agencies optimize for vanity metrics like clicks and impressions.
This difference is structural and shows up immediately in reporting and decision-making.
Most underperforming Google Ads agencies in the US are not failing at execution, per se. Their common denominator is that they are optimizing the wrong layer of the funnel.
What does a bad engagement look like with a Google Ads agency in the USA, and how do I avoid it?
A bad Google Ads engagement is usually defined by a lack of clarity, rather than an immediate performance decline.
Warning signs include:
Reporting becomes less actionable over time
Meetings focus on explaining instead of improving
No clear documentation of what changed in the account
To avoid poor engagements with Google Ads agencies in the US, require a recurring structure that answers:
What changed this month?
Why did it change?
What will be tested next?
How much involvement will I need to have once the agency is hired?
You’ll have low day-to-day involvement, but you must stay involved in strategy, priorities, and performance decisions.
After onboarding, your role with Google Ads agencies in the US typically falls into three areas:
Business input (required, ongoing)
Define priority products/services
Clarify lead quality standards
Share margin, pricing, and capacity changes
Performance decisions (monthly)
Review results at the revenue/lead-quality level
Approve budget shifts and scaling decisions
Align on what is working vs not working
Occasional approvals (as needed)
Landing pages or creative direction
Offer changes or funnel updates
Tracking or major campaign changes
The bottom line is that execution will be handled by the agency, but outcomes will ultimately depend on your input on business context and lead quality feedback.
