I have hired Prosperitas for website redesign services. The new design is both visually appealing and highly functional. Thanks to the agency's efforts, my customers can purchase all my published books online. The website also offers registration for my writing workshop and mentoring program. Additionally, it features inspirational texts and personal growth roadmaps, with upcoming webinars on writing and publishing. I am pleased with the final product and appreciate Prosperitas' ongoing support of my website.

Working with No Standing has been a game-changer for our gaming brand. As we launched into the Australian market, essentially operating as a start-up, their guidance on our go-to-market (GTM) strategy has been invaluable. Sohan & his team brought deep expertise and creativity, helping us navigate the complexities of market entry with ease. From branding to execution, they tailored everything to suit our specific needs, and their strategic insights ensured a smooth and successful launch. If you're looking for a partner who can truly elevate your brand and drive results, I highly recommend No Standing. Ross is a gun account manager too!

I was always concerned about outsourcing my development work. Now that I have worked with Technocrackers, I would like to take this opportunity to offer my gratitude to the team for their excellent support in getting my website ready.
They were able to relate to my business idea and helped me in designing a beautiful site that met the needs of my business and met the aesthetic design requirements of my business partners, which was tough. The level of communication and professional support was above and beyond anything that we had experienced with any other Offshore vendor.
The team is amazingly helpful, flexible and always quick to respond! I highly recommend Technocrackers to anyone who is looking for a professional and cost effective software development firm!

Honey Cloudz's Review Sourced from Google
Our e-com accessory brand has been working with Matt and Diffuse Digital for the past 6 months. They created and implemented our digital marketing strategy. Matt and his team took the time to understand our brand, our products, our voice, and our audience. Our products are niche, it was not an easy feat. They didn’t just offer cookie-cutter solutions – they aligned to meet our unique needs and goals. While working with them, our product line increased 500% and they were integral in the strategy and launch.
We’ve received a significant boost in organic traffic, SERP and most importantly, conversions and sales. Our UX experience improved 10 fold.
The team at Diffuse Digital is incredibly responsive and always willing to go the extra mile. They genuinely care about our brand’s success, and that commitment shows by continually reviewing and suggesting. Communication is clear, and they’re quick to address any concerns or questions, making us feel confident in their expertise at all times.
If you're an e-com brand looking to start or elevate your digital marketing, we can’t recommend Matt and Diffuse Digital enough. Their strategic thinking, dedication, and hands-on approach has played a part in our growth already at 6 months – and we’re excited to continue working with them as we scale.

Their commitment to excellence is evident in every project they handle, and I highly recommend Diffuse Marketing to anyone looking for top-notch service.

I want to acknowledge Kim-Lynn for her listening, patience, and ability to be with whatever requests I had when we got our bench ads. We did 30 bench ads with Dash Two and I can honestly say, I wont go anywhere else for this kind of outdoor advertising!

Over the past few years, I’ve collaborated with David on several mental health client projects, and his SEO expertise is next-level. He is an extremely hard worker and cares about seeing his clients succeed. He values relationships with the people he works with, too!!!
He brings a clear, strategic vision to every engagement—whether it’s technical audits, keyword strategy, or optimizing content for both rankings and readability. I’ve seen firsthand how his work drives real results: better visibility, higher traffic, and stronger engagement.
As a freelance writer, it’s refreshing to work with someone who values thoughtful, ethical SEO and understands how to align search intent with meaningful content. If you're a healthcare brand or startup looking to scale through search, David’s your guy. It's truly a pleasure to work with him :)

Running a franchise in Calgary means every marketing dollar has to work hard. Online World Solutions understood that from day one. Their SEO and digital marketing support has helped our location get found by more local customers online, and their team is genuinely responsive and easy to work with. If you're a business owner in Alberta looking for a digital growth partner who actually delivers, I'd highly recommend them.

In a competitive market like Vancouver, standing out online is everything. Online World Solutions helped me build a stronger digital presence through SEO and targeted marketing that actually reaches people looking for mortgage advice. Their strategy-first approach made a real difference — more visibility, better quality leads, and a team that communicates clearly throughout. For any financial professional in BC looking to grow their client base online, these are the people to call.

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.
