Jennifer Tomaselli
Review from Google
1.0★
Jennifer Tomaselli's Review Sourced from Google
My experience with this company Palm Desert Geeks, has been extremely frustrating. Pat, the owner, is a very poor communicator—he rarely responds to texts, emails, or phone calls in a timely or consistent manner. As a paying customer on a monthly subscription plan, I expected a basic level of service and professionalism, which was not delivered.
Their services for website development, social media, and content posting are subpar. It appears the person responsible for this work is only available for a few hours a week, and it shows in the quality and consistency of the output.
When I raised concerns about the lack of results and asked about the value I was receiving for what I was paying, I was abruptly terminated via text message—without any real conversation or attempt at resolution. Pat seemed completely unwilling to accept feedback, taking it as a personal attack rather than an opportunity to improve.
Overall, it was a terrible and disappointing experience. I strongly recommend looking elsewhere if you’re considering using this company.

Visiting family in the area and had an issue with my mac and it not recognizing my external hard drive. Went as a walk-in, the day before my flight and the female employee was so unbelievably kind and helpful. Fixed the problem on the spot, luckily wasn't too complicated. Could not recommend this place more, I have had other issues in the past and always bad experiences at the Apple in Palm Desert. Go to the Palm Desert Geeks they are the best, just be aware they are on the 2nd floor!

Janine Sudbury's Review Sourced from Google
I’ve been working with Guy for just over two years now, across multiple websites and brands — and I can honestly say, he’s in a league of his own.
His SEO expertise isn’t just theoretical — it delivers. Thanks to Guy’s guidance, I’ve consistently secured page one rankings for competitive keywords, and seen tangible results in traffic, engagement, and conversions.
But what sets him apart is his blend of sharp strategy and human insight. He genuinely takes the time to understand your business and voice — no generic SEO templates or cookie-cutter advice. He’s collaborative, clear, and incredibly responsive, even when juggling multiple complex projects.
If you're serious about building a strong online presence and want someone who’s both technically brilliant and great to work with — Guy’s your guy. Highly, highly recommended.

SEO Review from Ali Zanjani
Benjamin at the Wolf Marketing claims on his site that he will focus on your growth, but in Royalty Limousine San Diego case, he ended up ruining the growth and business of the company by making numerous mistakes in the site migration from Duda to WordPress and even leaving a link from the site to the competitor's site benefiting them and caused the site ranking to tank according to SEMrush when site ranking for asandiegolimo.com was on top on June 2025 and tanked on Oct. 2025!
I finally took my site back to Duda and fixed my problems on my own and disputed the charges by the Wolf marketing successfully!

We recently had the pleasure of working with Mark Benson and his team at The Wolf Marketing, and we couldn't be happier with the results! From start to finish, the entire experience was top-notch.
Mark went the extra mile to ensure our new website was completed in a timely manner, and the web development was flawless. He and his team also helped with our Local SEO and even handled the tricky process of transitioning our business email back to Google. The customer service was exceptional, and we truly felt like a priority throughout the entire process.
We highly recommend The Wolf Marketing for anyone in need of expert web development and Local SEO services. They are the best in the business!

Pure Chiropractic's Review Sourced from Google
I met Jon at a networking event for Dorset Chamber as he was the stand across from me and we got chatting. I was considering having a new website done but I wasn't actively looking for a website designer but what intrigued me about overt digital media was that they do a monthly retainer that means website edits and so on get done immediately and this is something I desperately needed but had never been offered by any other designer before so I always felt like my website was constantly out of date and I always struggled to find the time to update new employees and blogs and so on. I decided to meet with Jon and I was blown away by how he really took the time to understand my business and it was like he was reading my mind for what I wanted and needed for my website. The website production is affordable and it was done quickly and I was extremely happy with the first draft as they had understood the brief exactly. I have used the website updates a number of times and then have always been done extremely quickly and I so far I have been so impressed that I am no looking to use other services provider by overt digital media including their SEO. These guys go above and beyond but make it affordable and I would highly highly recommend them to anyone.

Overt Digital Media were recommended to me when I needed help with a new website. From the start of the process Jon was immensely helpful providing really insightful advice on the the design of my new website and how to make it rank highly in google.
The build of my new website went seamlessly. The team at Overt Digital Media wrote all of the content, saving me a lot of time and ensuring that the project was finished on time and under budget.
My website is already generating leads for my business, and I will speak to Jon again soon about their search engine optimisation services.
I can’t recommend Overt Digital Media highly enough. Five stars.

We are very happy with the support and management of Clepsidra! We have a Web Design company and, thanks to the advertising campaigns they planned for Veoveo, we are receiving five times as many inquiries as we did before making ads. Our brand exposure increased and helped us strengthen prestige and closeness with our clients. In addition, they are attentive to our feedback to make any necessary changes. They are professional, friendly, warm and resolve our queries when we need it. Thank you! Highly recommended 😄

Erin Pratuch's Review Sourced from Google
Decoder manages all of our ad spend on Google and Microsoft Ads. The majority of our business comes from these channels and they've honed our cost-per-lead month-over-month to fit our budget and streamline our spend. They're also great at simplifying complex issues and translating everything into terms we understand. I've worked with PPC and SEO vendors in the past, and it felt like I was looking at a black box. Decoder makes the process transparent. We're happy with the team's service, and I would work with them in any capacity and take advantage of their wider services in the future whenever possible!

Jaimi Riedl's Review Sourced from Google
I reached out to Decoder two years ago to help with the SEO of my company's website. Everyone here is blown away with the results: 37% increase in traffic, a 33% increase in revenue from organic searches, and after seeing these results, we hired Decoder again to help with our paid ads. We're now seeing a 7-8x ROAS on our Google ads.
Sometimes working with an agency can be challenging, but Ben and the Decoder team have been easy to work with in every way, and I'd recommend them to anyone looking to boost online sales. Ben is both attentive and proactive, often making changes to our site that go above and beyond expectations, and it feels like a real partnership.

8 Frequently Asked Questions About Small Business PPC Agencies
Should I go with a flat monthly fee or a percentage-of-ad-spend model?
For most small businesses that spend under $10,000/month on ads, a flat monthly fee is the cleaner and more protective choice because percentage-of-spend minimums often cost more at small budgets, and the model pays the agency for spending your money rather than managing it.
The structural problem with percentage-of-spend is that the small business PPC agency earns more every time you increase your budget, regardless of whether that increase is justified by performance.
Ask any percentage-of-spend agency directly: what is their policy when they believe additional budget is not justified by current performance? The answer will tell you whose interests they are actually managing.
How much do small business PPC agencies charge for their services, and what's on top of the quoted fee?
According to numerous reports, agencies usually charge between $1,000 and $5,000 a month for standard management services, depending on your ad spend level and what's included. If you need them to run a complex enterprise account, the price can go up and range between $10,000 and $25,000 a month.
The management fee for small business PPC services is only part of what you'll pay. They typically run 10-20% of monthly ad spend, but this is separate from the actual ad spend, which you pay directly.
On top of that, expect to see:
Setup fees of $500-$5,000 for initial account audits and restructuring
Tool costs passed through for third-party analytics platforms
Overage charges if your ad spend crosses certain thresholds,
Exit fees if you leave before the contract term ends.
The budget math to run before you sign is the following: management fee + setup fee + any tool costs + your actual ad spend = true monthly investment.
At a $2,000/monthad budget, a 15% management fee leaves only $300 for actual strategy work. Minimum viable ad spend for meaningful optimization is generally $2,000-$5,000/month, and the management fee comes out of your total budget on top of that.
What are the clearest red flags to watch for before I sign a contract?
Any small business PPC company that guarantees specific results before auditing your account is either making a sales pitch or doesn't understand how paid search works. No credible agency promises a specific cost per acquisition before they have audited your conversion tracking, analyzed your competitive landscape, and assessed your landing pages.
Other pre-signing red flags:
They focus reporting on vanity metrics rather than business outcomes
They can't explain their strategy in terms you understand
They push long-term contracts before proving value.
If any of these appear during the sales process, they will be significantly worse once you're locked in.
Who owns the Google Ads account, me or the agency?
You should own the Google Ads account, and if an agency won't confirm that in writing before you sign, walk away. Agencies offering small business PPC services sometimes build campaigns inside their own Manager Account (MCC), making them, instead of you, the legal account owner. When you leave, you risk losing all historical data, conversion tracking, audience lists, and Smart Bidding signals.
Before signing, demand an explicit account ownership clause that names your Google Ads Account ID and specifies that the agency's access will be revoked at your request.
When should I expect real results, and what's a legitimate excuse vs. a stall?
Expect to see your first meaningful, stable results between weeks 6 and 12, as many agencies suggest. Allow for a learning period of 30-60-days before drawing conclusions, but expect transparency and a clear optimization plan from week one. The first 60 days include the account learning phase, and performance below eventual steady state is expected. Unexplained underperformance is a red flag, but explained underperformance during a calibration period is not.
Check the Change History in your Google Ads account: if there is no evidence of thoughtful adjustments in the first 30 days, including no keyword refinements, no ad copy tests, and no bid strategy changes, the campaign is on autopilot. Small business PPC consultants who are genuinely optimizing will have a paper trail.
Is it a problem if the agency manages hundreds of clients, or if they seem very small?
Client-to-account-manager ratio matters more than total agency size. Agencies offering small business PPC services that take on too many clients at once cut corners, use outdated methods, or fail to give individual accounts the attention and tailored strategy they need. Therefore, you may lose more on poor results than you save on fees. Ask directly: how many active accounts does each account manager handle?
A strategist managing 40+ accounts cannot be doing meaningful weekly optimization for any of them. On the other end, a two-person shop with no bench means your account goes dark when someone is sick or leaves. The right size agency for a small business has a dedicated point of contact with a manageable client load, a defined escalation path, and a process for running your account.
How long a contract should I accept?
A 3-month initial commitment is reasonable. A 12-month lock-in with no performance milestones written in is not. Three-month minimums are reasonable because campaigns need time to exit the learning phase before performance can be meaningfully evaluated. However, 12-month terms are a higher commitment and should come with clearly defined performance milestones and exit provisions if those milestones are not met.
If small business PPC consultants refuse to stand behind their work with a flexible exit option, they lack confidence in their ability to deliver results. You are funding their financial security, not your own growth.
The contract term to demand: a 90-day initial period with measurable KPI targets (cost per acquisition, lead volume), after which the engagement rolls month-to-month. Also, check the auto-renewal clause because many contracts auto-renew unless notice is given 30 to 60 days before the term ends. A missed notice window commits you to another full term.
How do I evaluate a proposal if I can't verify the case studies that an agency shows me?
Ask for references from current clients in a similar business category, not testimonials on their website. Case studies are marketing materials. They show the best possible outcome from the best possible client under the best possible conditions, and they are rarely auditable. The difference between agencies that claim to be data-driven and those that actually are shows up in specifics: ask them to walk through a real optimization decision they made in the last 30 days, what data prompted it, what they changed, and what happened.
If small business PPC services providers can't give you a concrete example with numbers, their case studies are doing the selling, not their process. Also, ask what happens when a campaign underperforms: agencies that have a clear answer ("we do X, then Y, then escalate to Z") are operating from a repeatable system. Agencies that answer with reassurance and vague references to optimization are operating on hope.
