eCommerce Development Review from Undisclosed
We have been working with First Pier for almost 10 years now, beginning with the launch of our women’s boutique E-Commerce business. First Pier has been responsible for our e-commerce store design, web development, e-commerce SEO, digital strategy, online marketing campaigns and beyond ever since. As a already successful brick and mortar retailer, we saw an opportunity to reach beyond our existing customer bases in Portland, Maine & Portsmouth, New Hampshire by creating an online shopping experience accessible 24/7 and nationwide. First Pier has helped us turn that vision into reality by taking us from no online store and zero sales to a dependable thriving new channel for our business that continues to grow. Our experience with Shopify started when First Pier migrated our site from Magento to a Shopify website. Since First Pier is a designated Shopify Expert, we knew we could trust them with the daunting task of moving all of our products, accounts, and customer history to our new Shopify site. They made the transition to a new e-commerce system painless by ensuring our hands were held along the way, we were thoroughly trained, and none of the SEO ranking keywords were lost. We continue to work with First Pier on expanding our use of Google Shopping SEO and will be implementing Shopify’s Point of Sale in the coming year as part of a continued effort to deliver a unified customer experience at our stores. As a small women’s boutique based in Maine, we are now able to deliver our customer experience to tourist and seasonal customers where they are year round. We would recommend First Pier to anyone looking to build or update a Shopify store.

As a high-traffic bakery, it was important to us that customers buying from around the country were able to view the quality of our products, feel the vibe of our Portland and South Portland shops, and trust that their order would be as special as a visit to our Maine bakery. First Pier delivered mouth-watering e-commerce product photography, an easy-to-use site, and supported us every step of the way. Our shoppable site is now optimized, accurately reflects our brand, and has poised us for growth.

Everything you need to know before you hire a Google Ads agency
What can Google Ads agencies do to help my business grow?
Google Adwords companies are often sought by modern enterprises because they know how to capitalize raw search intent.
They are well regarded for helping businesses yield an 800% ROI on average, or $8 in revenue for every $1 spent.
Considering that the top three paid results capture 46% of all clicks, a specialized Google AdWords agency knows how to set bids to secure high placements.
Experienced account managers can also help you reduce wasted spend by implementing negative keyword lists, which is seen to reduce cost-per-acquisition (CPA) by 25%.
In essence, having a Google Ads company on board will grant you a competitive edge, as visitors acquired via paid ads are 50% more likely to make a purchase than those arriving via organic search.
What advanced techniques do these agencies use for better results?
To refine ad performance, Google Ad agencies use A/B testing and retargeting/remarketing techniques to propel the engagement and maximize returns.
1. A/B testing
Google Ads agencies use A/B testing for iteration to keep campaigns from going stale. Namely, they run two versions of an ad to see which headline or image gets better response.
By changing just one thing at a time, they can point to specific metrics like CTR or CPA to figure out which version performed better.
2. Retargeting/remarketing
Retargeting and remarketing strategies are deployed to capture users who browsed a site but didn't buy anything. Instead of showing the same generic ad to everyone, they build custom audience segment based on exactly what a person looked at, like a specific product page.
This makes the follow-up ads feel more like a relevant reminder than a random interruption.
How to choose the best Google Ads agency for my business?
To choose the best google ads company, consider taking some of the following steps:
- Define what a good result looks like on Google Ads
Before you start browsing agencies, define what do you expect from your Google Ads, be it more traffic, sales, registrations, newsletter signups or just solid engagement to build brand awareness. - Check for relevant Google Ads experience
Review the Google Ads agency’s past work and look for case studies that present the work in detail: elaboration on the challenges, in-depth breakdown of actions taken, as well as the outcome, preferably with numbers. - Ask about familiarity with the niche
Agencies that have worked with clients in the same niche or industry know the expectations of that target audience and can create ads and visuals that peak their interest. - Check their industry standing
Read client reviews on third-party sites like Google and DesignRush to assess how reliable is the Google Ads company in question and what kind of service can you expect. - Inquire about the team
When you pinpoint 3-5 agency prospects, do a quick research on LinkedIn to check what kind of experience do their teams have and what kind of certifications do they hold. - Set interviews
Schedule meeting with your best candidates. Use this opportunity to openly discuss your dilemmas, concerns, expectations, and budget allocation.
How to find a specialist on DesignRush that fits my budget?
We prepared a list of Google Ads agencies at different price points so you can find an agency that’s within your spending expectations.
| High budget: $50,000+ |
|
| Low budget: $25,000 to $50,000+ |
|
Beyond budget, our filters allow you to narrow down Google AdWords companies by hourly rate, location, service, team size, reviews, and more.

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.
