      PPC Review from Viet Nguyen

      We've had a very positive experience working with HK Digital as our paid media partner. As an ecommerce business focused on sustainable growth and performance accountability, we value partners who combine strategic thinking with reliable execution and HK Digital has delivered on both.From the start, the team demonstrated strong organisation, clear communication, and a collaborative mindset. They took the time to understand our business goals, customer acquisition challenges, and revenue targets, then translated those into structured paid media strategies across our core channels.One of the biggest strengths of HK Digital is their ability to balance performance optimisation with long-term growth thinking. Reporting is clear, actionable, and focused on outcomes that matter to the business not just channel metrics. The team is proactive in identifying opportunities, testing new ideas, and refining campaigns based on data.Since working together, paid media has remained a major contributor to our ecommerce revenue, with campaigns consistently driving qualified traffic, supporting customer acquisition, and helping us scale efficiently. Their responsiveness and willingness to adapt quickly to business needs have made them feel like an extension of our internal team rather than an external agency.Compared to other agencies we've worked with, HK Digital stands out for professionalism, reliability, and a genuinely collaborative approach. They are solutions-oriented, dependable, and focused on delivering measurable impact.I would confidently recommend Travis and HK Digital to any ecommerce brand looking for a performance marketing partner that understands both the commercial realities of running a business and the technical execution required to grow it.

      We've partnered with HK Digital as a performance marketing partner and have referred business back and forth with full confidence. Travis Herndon is extremely knowledgeable, direct, and efficient the kind of partner who doesn't waste time, overpromise, or hide behind buzzwords.His customer service and response time are excellent, communication is clear and matter-of-fact, and most importantly, the results speak for themselves. Travis approaches performance with discipline and accountability, which is exactly what serious brands need.If you're looking for a straightforward, high-integrity performance partner who delivers without the noise, HK Digital is a strong choice.

      The people at Straight North were so organized and efficient. Although we ultimately had to go in a different direction due to a change in design needs, the discovery process was very smooth. They devoted significant time to understanding what we needed from the project, and we greatly appreciated it!

      Jenny S's Review Sourced from Google

      Working with Straight North was an incredible experience from start to finish! When I started looking for web designers, I narrowed it down to four companies, and Straight North was the only one who really took the time to get to know me, our business, and why our goals matter. That personal connection made all the difference.Once we got started, I was blown away by the thought and detail that went into every part of the process. What stood out the most was how open and receptive the team was to my feedback. I truly felt like a part of the process, not just another customer.Our new website is absolutely stunning and perfectly captures who we are and what our brand stands for. I couldn’t be happier with the finished website or with the experience of working with Straight North.Building a great website is truly a collaborative effort, and I’ve learned that the more you put in, the more you get out. I encourage anyone working with Straight North, or any design team to be open, share your vision, and really take the time to engage in the process. The result will be worth it, I promise!Thank you, Straight North, for an amazing experience and a website that we’re so proud of!

      SEO Review from Thomas Anania

      We're really impressed with Forge's work. We've collaborated with them three times now. First redesigning our Email flows, then again with Meta advertisements, and now with SEO improvements. They are easy to work with, very responsive to our questions and concerns, and are very clearly invested in our success. Would recommend.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.
