Marketing Director at Hardgrove Fire Protection

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.

Liz Walla's Review Sourced from Google
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!

I’ve had the pleasure of working with
No Boundaries Marketing for several years and believe good work should be recognized 😀
If you are looking for a marketing group that provides excellent SEO I would like to pass on my personal recommendations.
I have found Chris “The Architect”to be a good listener that has always been pleasant to work with and works hard to dig deep to understand the needs of your business. As a small business owner, this is important!
Along these lines, he has also been very personable and easy to work with. I can say the same for his team as they have been driven to accomplish goals and objectives set by their leader.
Having an SEO company in your business tool box is an excellent move! It doesn’t have to be painful. They are pleasant organization, and I hope you will find them as gratifying as I did.
Best wishes and best of success!

Breakthrough Real Estate & Property Management's Review Sourced from Google
Well Chris might be a nice guy, the rest of his staff is a revolving door, they take days to get back to you pertaining to updates, if they get back to you at all. When I canceled their services because they didn't get back to me, and they didn't perform the updates that they told me they would do, they then shut off my Google ad without ever telling me. The Google ad that I pay the budget for, and after paying a monthly fee for their services for those ads. The fact they didn't even tell me, cost our business potentially thousands of dollars. As much as his attitude might be great, they burned my company, and we may never come back. Be very careful.

Working with DS WebDesign, has been an absolute pleasure from start to finish. They are truly a top-notch web design company—highly professional, incredibly responsive, and very reasonably priced. What stood out most to me was how hands-on David was throughout the entire process. He took the time to explain every step clearly and made sure I understood all the options available before moving forward.
His attention to detail and commitment to getting everything just right was evident from the beginning. Whether it was the initial design concepts, functionality, or final revisions, he was always quick to respond and eager to make sure I was happy with the results.
If you're looking for a company that combines technical expertise with excellent communication and a client-first attitude, I highly recommend DS WebDesign. I couldn’t be more pleased with the finished website and the experience as a whole.
Thanks so much for all of your help!

The return on the investment in SEO and search marketing with Optimize has been outstanding. Jesse helped me bring in new customers within 8 weeks and we're still working together after a year!

Veterinary Marketing has been helping us with our marketing for a few years now and we've really enjoyed working with them. They're always helpful and prompt when we have requests. Mario updates us each month and lets us know what's been working well as well as any changes they recommend to our services. Recently, they introduced a really nifty personalized dashboard that helps us to track our customer service performance and catch any missed revenue that may be slipping through the cracks when we're busy. Overall, we've had a great experience and would readily recommend John and his team.

I can’t recommend Smart Clicks by Digital Ivan enough! I was already great at running my golf cart rental business, but I wasn’t getting the visibility I needed. Ivan took my words literally and made my money work for me. He built clarity, trust, and visibility that actually sticks — no gimmicks, no fluff. From Google Ads that finally deliver results to strategies that attract high-quality customers, Ivan transformed how people find and book with me. Thanks to him, my carts are busier than ever and I’m seeing real growth every single week. If you’re good at what you do but aren’t getting noticed, Ivan is the one to call!

Bill and his team are second to none in an industry where there are companies that make it happen, and those that don't. Bill and U-Thrive Marketing are definitely up there as one of the best, and I couldn't be happier for what they have done for me and my business.
The thing that impressed me the most about U-Thrive is their willingness to go above and beyond to make sure everything is perfect and exactly the way you want things to be. Bill and his team work tirelessly at what they do, and for the money you spend the return on investment is incredible.
I would highly recommend U-Thrive to anyone looking to break into the internet marketing scene, and you will not find a better web design team for the cost anywhere in town.
I look forward to a long and prosperous business relationship with Bill and U-Thrive Marketing for years to come.

We have been using U-Thrive since December 2017. After months of frustration with Adwords we turned to a professional. The results are amazing. Bill has been very helpful not only with our campaigns but as a source of information about other advertising possibilities. Prior to Bill and U-Thrive we were totally flying blind and just wasting money. Stop what you are doing now and call a pro! Steve@Auto-Pro Network

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.
