      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.

I am very pleased with the results of the design and the traffic I am receiving because of the overhaul. I should have had this done sooner.

      I reached out to Shannon about having someone set up our social media. Shannon went out of her way to try and find someone who could help me with that as that's not what she specializes in. She was incredibly helpful and I believe that shows how passionate she is about her business. Based on that interaction, I believe she will go above and beyond for any customer! Having someone like that on your side is priceless!

      We've been a happy client of Spark Solutions for just over a year now. Previously we were at the mercy of the ever changing algorithms, a MEGA competitive industry, a tight budget/ margins, providers that would over promise & under deliver, and a small in house team. Spark operates like a real extension of my internal team and collaborates like a dream, while answering my random search or Google related questions without making me feel like a bother. They truly are a breath of fresh air in this space, I have finally found the SEO & AdWords partner I was searching for.

      The Renaissance team is awesome! We're an ad agency that partners with them to round out our capabilities, and they've always over-delivered. We've white-labeled, blue-labeled, and co-labeled with them, and they work just as hard and deliver great performance no matter the arrangement. Their buying capabilities are extremely competitive, and their analytics are cutting-edge and comprehensive, so we plan to keep working with them on every project that makes sense. Highly recommend!

      Silver Spark delivered focused, constructive feedback that helped us see where the experience was falling short and where it was on the right track. They called out usability issues like the floating, unclickable cookie banner and lack of navigation back to the main site from portfolio demos—both small things that impact trust and flow. Their suggestion to replace client logos with actual work mockups shifted our perspective on how to better showcase our value. They also emphasized how underwhelming the hero section felt and encouraged us to treat it with the weight it deserves as a first impression. On the positive side, they acknowledged our strong branding and clear communication, and gave a nod to our solid SEO and best practices. Their tip to expand the FAQ as a low-effort SEO boost was especially helpful. Overall, the feedback was thoughtful, to the point, and gave us a practical path forward.

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.
