At first, a survey was conducted to gather company background, product information, target markets, etc. Next, accounts were established on various Google Business platforms, social media, etc. Then SmartSites created the ads and campaigns, and we were off and running in just a few weeks.

Web Design Review from Sapna Doshi, Ph.D.
My experience working with Design in DC was incredible. Everyone was friendly, approachable, and seemed to genuinely care about helping create the best possible website for my business. They were also invested in making sure the process was one in which I enjoyed and felt taken care of. The regular meetings made me feel like I was a priority and that progress was continually being made. I so appreciated the attention to detail in regards to the user experience. The collaboration in understanding my wishes and desires for the website and user experience was met with patience and paying attention to detail on my behalf. Not only were they taking my suggestions but offering their own to help me maximize the potential of my website. The design and functionality is more than what I could have imagined. I know, undoubtedly, that the work that Design in DC did for me will help my business grow. After wasting money in years past on website designers, I was worried I'd be doing hte same here. I was wrong. I don't think I'll ever need to search for another website designer group again. I would recommend this group to anyone I know. Thank you, Design in DC! It was an absolute pleasure working with all of you!

More medical professionals learned about us and wanted to join our network, which was an amazing bonus of working with 97 Switch.

Web Design Review from Justyna Chrupek
We hired them to build a new website. The website was quickly completed in just a couple months, and weve seen markedly positive results from 97 Switchs efforts. It's a new marketing feature that we use on a daily basis. The improved quality has facilitated our communication and made things much easier. Weve received great feedback from our vendors, investors, and customers who want to view our properties. Internally, our staff is excited to see what's going on in our company. We are definitely proud of our new platform. Our executive team is excited to be featured on the new website; previously, they didn't even want their picture shown. Before this redesign, we were almost embarrassed to send out the link. Now, we can comfortably share it with our investors, potential investors, and landlords so they keep track of our updates on a monthly basis. We love how this site presents the face of our company.

Web Design Review from Adam Greenberg
We've seen tremendous growth and exposure. The website has generated a number of new leads and weve received tons of cold calls from potential clients. This is thanks to 97 Switchs efforts to increase our digital exposure. We communicate primarily via phone and email and theyre highly responsive. I receive a response to emails within minutes and they get back to me within half an hour if I request a phone call. They're able to conduct face-to-face interactions in order to truly understand the goals and business culture of their clients. This allowed them to create a design that accurately represented our brand. I've had nothing but positive experiences with 97 Switch and Id recommend them to anyone.

I've had the pleasure of working with Motion as both colleague and client. As a colleague I was referred to them for a number of my CEO clients. The high-level coverage they were able to secure was very instrumental in significantly raising the profile of those clients and helping them attract the opportunities they were after. As a client, Motion was able to quickly and innovatively operationalize a successful social giving program to fund a scholarship I started as part of the launch for my new novel. The response was terrific for book awareness and quickly became fully funded. The agency is highly responsive, the staff skilled and engaging. Terrific client service.

We've worked with Thunder::tech to replace our cooperative's website. They have delivered as promised and more than expected in a professional and timely manner. Their team members are creative, technical and professional experts. We're looking forward to working on a second phase of the project with them starting soon. T::T is big enough a agency that they have multiple experts on the team with overlapping knowledge to get the job done, but not such a huge company where one might get lost as a client. As a web and digital media pro with 20+ years of experience, I recommend Thunder::tech. - JF

The most horrible people! They are very reckless, don’t show up to appointments. Not once, not twice but thrice. You call to ask they dodge your calls.Don’t expect call backs. I went to Derek and texted him several times about this and asked to call. Nothing! Figured a month would be long enough. Don’t waste your time on these people

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. They are also in the process of building our new website and I am so excited about the launch. It looks great! I love working with Sixth City and look forward to it for many more years to come!

MJK Law Group's Review Sourced from Google
Their team knew exactly how to navigate the strict rules around legal advertising. They tightened up our website, ran compliant Google Ads, and built some targeted lead systems that actually brought in the right kind of calls. It took a few months to ramp up, but by the end of the year those leads had generated eight figures in total settlements for us.

I don’t generally leave business reviews but we signed up our dealership with them in January to handle our search engine feeds and our ad campaigns. All I can say is thank you for all of your hard work. They truly underpromised and over delivered phenomenal results. We went from having horrible luck with online marketing to thousands of new walk ins this year. Looking forward to our continued success. Greatly appreciated.

5 Frequently Asked Questions About Google Ads Agencies
What services do Google Ads agencies provide?
Google adwords companies create and manage ads to display in Google search results. These specialized pay-per-click (PPC) agencies conduct keyword research, do custom campaign setups, create ad headlines and descriptions, manage bids, run A/B tests on ads, and track their performance on Google Analytics.
These activities are aimed at improving the return on ad spend (ROAS) and lower the cost-per-click (CPC). The end-goal of placing a search ad on Google is to improve the website traffic and land more leads and sales.
What types of campaigns can a Google Ads agency run?
The Googs Ads ecosystem is made out of the Google Display Network and Google Search Network. Within these areas, you can place the following types of Google Ads:
Search campaigns: Show ads in Google search results when users look for specific keywords.
Display campaigns: Place visual ads across millions of websites within the Google Display Network.
Shopping campaigns: Show product ads directly in search results, often used by eCommerce businesses.
Video campaigns: Show video ads on YouTube to build brand awareness.
App campaigns: Automatically show your ads on YouTube, Google Play, and other apps.
How much do these services cost?
Base fees for Google Ads service range from $250 to $2,500 a month, plus 7% to 15% of the monthly ad spend. If the contract is on an hourly basis, agencies in the US bill from $150 to $200 an hour.
The pricing model is determined by the campaign's complexity and the service provider's location, with the most common option being a combination of a fixed base fee and a variable percentage of the total monthly ad spend.
How long does it take to see results from Google ads?
As Google Ads (formerly Google AdWords) is the biggest digital advertising platform, ads start getting views within a day or two, however this initial traction isn't a reliable indicator if a campaign is a success.
It’s normal for clicks and conversions to start slow while Google's algorithm spends the first week or even a month in its learning phase. This is just the system taking time to figure out who your best customers are and how to reach them.
Early data almost always looks weak. The real momentum starts building after that phase ends. Most businesses find it takes about 3 months of running a well-tuned campaign to see the results they actually want.
Do AdWords agencies provide performance guarantees?
Performance guarantees for Google Ads results are rare, as many factors are outside an agency's control. Google AdWords companies cannot guarantee a specific ROAS or sales volume as the success depends on the website, product, pricing, and market competition.
On that note, some agencies offer guarantees tied to their deliverables or management fees, such as committing to a specific cost per lead (CPL) or conversion volume, or offering a refund if they don't launch the campaign on time.
