      LaNasa Realty Inc has been around for a long time in the New Orleans area. I reached out to Online Optimism to update my website and tell the story of my family history in the New Orleans area and how I have been involved in this history as a Real Estate Broker early on in my career. I needed a web site to show that LaNasa Realty does all aspects of Real Estate from Commercial Sales and Leasing to Residential Sales, and Rentals. Short term rentals have become very popular in New Orleans.

Their communication is clear, timely, and transparent, and they are always willing to go the extra mile to ensure projects are completed successfully.

Their knowledge of e-commerce platforms, attention to detail, and ability to handle complex requirements have been invaluable to the continued success of WheelHero. We are extremely happy with the quality of their work, the reliability of their team, and the results they have helped us achieve. We highly recommend Rave Digital to any business looking for a dependable, knowledgeable, and customer-focused digital solutions partner.

      Shopify Plus eCommerce Review from Vern Brannum

      Working with Rave Digital on our Shopify Plus site felt less like hiring a service provider and more like bringing on a partner who truly understood the quirks and challenges of running a wholesale candy business. Selling candy in bulk isn't just about putting products online it involves managing pack sizes, special promotions, and customers ranging from small shops to large distributors. Our old platform couldn't keep up, leaving us scrambling. Candy comes in endless flavors, sizes, and assortments, and our old site made customers scroll through countless SKUs, leading to frustration. Rave Digital restructured our product pages so buyers could easily select the exact variation they wanted on a single page. I tested it myself and found it intuitive, and when a wholesale buyer later called saying, Your site finally makes sense, it confirmed the change had real impact. They reimagined the mobile experience, which is critical because many of our buyers order on their phones while running their stores. Previously, mobile checkout was clunky and full of errors. Rave Digital optimized it so that ordering cases of chocolates on my phone felt as seamless as shopping on a top-tier retail site. A customer even told me she completed her Easter order from her car while waiting to pick up her kids something that would have been impossible before. What impressed me most was their collaborative approach. In one meeting, we debated how to display mixed candy assortments. Rather than push a single option, they presented three layouts and encouraged us to test them with real buyers. The choice became clear, and it showed their commitment to creating solutions that worked for our customers, not just ticking boxes. Now, the site feels like an extension of how we want to do business efficient, user-friendly, and stress-free. Rave Digital made it a tool that simplifies wholesale ordering, supports seasonal surges, and gives our customers the smooth, reliable experience they deserve.

      Magento Review from Rodney McMullen

      As one of the largest grocery retailers in the U.S., Kroger has long understood the value of staying ahead in the digital space. However, the complexity and scale of our eCommerce operations had grown significantly, and our legacy systems were beginning to create bottlenecks across user experience, performance, and operational flexibility. From the onset, Rave Digital demonstrated a deep understanding of Magento and how it could be strategically used to solve enterprise-level retail challenges. Before a single line of code was written, their team spent significant time embedded with our eCommerce, merchandising, and logistics departments. They facilitated several strategy workshops, analyzing our existing Magento Commerce setup, identifying inefficiencies in our multi region architecture, and proposing a refined roadmap for rolling out custom modules, integrating third party services, and optimizing workflows. There are many things we could highlight, but what truly sets Rave Digital apart is their ability to operate as an extension of our internal team. They are not just solution providers they are collaborators, advisors, and problem solvers. Every member of their team, from the project manager to the senior Magento architects, displayed a deep commitment to quality, accountability, and outcomes. Even when timelines got tight or priorities shifted (as they often do in enterprise environments), Rave was flexible, focused, and always aligned with our goals. One particularly telling moment came when we were evaluating an AI-based personalization module. Rather than just build what we requested, Rave took the time to prototype both a native Magento based option and a hybrid third party integration. They walked us through performance trade offs, cost implications, and even customer journey mapping all before we had even signed off on development. That level of thoughtfulness and foresight is rare in technical partners.

      I've had the pleasure to work alongside Noise Media for a while now. My agency Untapped specialise in web & mobile app projects. Noise Media specialise in social marketing. When those 2 things align with specialists at the top of their game magic happens. Only a few times in my 30+ year career have I worked alongside people who are as dedicated and obsessed with good results. Those companies are hard to find and when you find one, you tend to stick with them for the long haul. Noise Media are the best in their field and I would and do regularly highly recommend them to anyone.

      Junette Kearns's Review Sourced from Google

      EZ Rankings is extremely disappointing. The services did not deliver the quality that was promised. The company charges premium prices for services such as website design, SEO, and SMO, but the results fell far short of expectations. Despite significant investment, I did not see the level of progress, performance, or return that was discussed during the sales process. Communication was another major issue. It often felt difficult to get clear answers, timely updates, or meaningful support when concerns were raised. The team did not appear well-coordinated, and resolving issues took much longer than expected. I also felt that expectations were set very aggressively during the sales stage, but the actual delivery did not match those expectations. Promises regarding growth, rankings, and overall project outcomes seemed much stronger than what was ultimately achieved. For businesses considering SEO, SMO, or web development services, I would recommend asking detailed questions about deliverables, timelines, and measurable results before signing a contract. Based on my experience, I would not choose to work with this company again.

Project updates were limited, and several concerns remained unresolved despite multiple follow-ups. Overall, I was disappointed with the experience.

      Our organization spent $250,000 on a project with this company and at the end the video files were corrupted. We have been asking for our files for 9 months now and they continue to ghost us. They took our money, violated our contract, and then do not respond. We have to pursue legal action to obtain what is rightfully ours after the amount of money we already spent on them. Unethical, illegal practices.

      We contracted Josh to help us with our digital marketing strategy. After a deep analysis of our fintech business, competitors and our target market, he provided us with a well thought out strategy that met our requirements and budget. His team did an excellent job of implementing the strategy and we saw positive results in the first month post-implementation. I'm amazed at the wide marketing knowledge Josh has and would recommend him in a heart beat!

      We contracted Josh for a 6-month period to audit and enhance our website, SEO, and paid media strategy for our car leasing business. The results have been great, with lowered cost-per-click (CPC) and higher conversion rates (CR) across all our campaigns. Working with Josh was a great experience – he's professional, efficient, and really knows his stuff. We're definitely looking forward to working with him again soon. Definitely would recommend for anyone looking to get the most out of their digital marketing budget.

      I am so grateful for the work Josh did for me! I have no clue about marketing, but he always took the time to break things down for me so I could understand the process. He taught me how to grow organically, how to do social advertising cheaply whilst getting good results. He also showed me how to automate many processes using marketing technology, so I could focus on other parts of my job! He was always really pleasant to work with and I highly recommend! Thanks Josh!

How to Hire a Small Business PPC Company

Is my ad budget big enough to get results, or will I fund someone's learning curve?

Agencies widely recommend a minimum ad spend of $2,000-$5,000 per month because campaigns below that threshold lack the click volume needed to run A/B tests, identify winning keywords, and achieve statistical significance.

Accounts spending under $5,000 per month saw 18% higher CPCs and 31% lower conversion rates than the median in 2026, according to benchmark data from Digital Applied — a structural disadvantage that compounds as AI bidding algorithms require data volume to optimize effectively.

Google's own Smart Bidding needs at least 30 conversions per month, and often 50 or more for Target ROAS strategies, to optimize effectively; below that threshold, the algorithm is largely guessing.

Most small business PPC agencies charge 10-20% of monthly ad spend as a PPC management fee, which means on a $2,000 ad budget, you're looking at $400 going to management alone before a single click.

A $2,000 monthly fee can be a smart investment on a $20,000 ad budget.

That same $2,000 fee can feel painful on a $4,000 budget, especially if campaigns are not producing enough revenue to justify it.

The honest readiness question: Is my monthly ad spend large enough for an agency to actually optimize, or am I buying presence without performance?

Should the agency have verifiable experience in my specific industry, or are they generalists applying a template?

Ask which accounts the small business PPC agency manages that resemble yours in terms of average contract value, conversion type, and monthly ad spend.

Ask what their average client cost per acquisition looks like in your category.

If they cannot answer specifically, they may not have the relevant experience.

Industry CPC variance is enormous and directly affects how much a poorly matched agency will cost you.

According to WordStream's 2025 benchmark analysis of over 16,000 campaigns, attorneys and legal services averaged $8.58 per click, while arts and entertainment averaged just $1.60.

That’s a nearly 5x difference that demands entirely different bidding strategies and optimization approaches.

The average cost per lead in legal services ran $131.63, compared to around $33 in arts and entertainment.

Cheap clicks are not always the cheapest leads, because a low CPC with a poor conversion rate can still produce a higher CPL than an expensive click with strong intent.

A small business PPC services provider without domain experience in your vertical will discover this through expensive trial and error.

What to ask: Show me three accounts in my vertical that you've managed for 12 months or more. What was the CPA trend over that period?

What do the reporting metrics tell me, and am I about to pay for a vanity scorecard?

Monthly reports land in your inbox showing strong impressions, healthy CTRs, and rising click volume.

You don't know how to ask whether any of those clicks became customers.

Six months later, you realize you've been measuring the wrong things.

One of the biggest mistakes in PPC advertising is celebrating vanity metrics like click-through rates while revenue stays flat.

Clicks do not pay the bills. Revenue does.

Most agency monthly reports are PDF exports of the Google Ads dashboard with brand colors added — you see the same numbers already available in the platform UI.

According to PPC Chief's 2026 data, cost per click increased for 87% of industries in 2025, meaning campaigns that look "busy" with high click volume are quietly getting more expensive.

A report that doesn't surface cost-per-lead or ROAS trends is hiding the part of the story that matters most.

One industry survey found that only 10% of Google Ads accounts receive weekly updates from their manager.

What a real report shows: Cost per acquisition (CPA), return on ad spend (ROAS), lead quality trends, and pipeline attribution.

According to Shopify's 2026 PPC statistics roundup, the average cost per lead for Google Ads across all industries in 2025 was $70.11.

If the report that a small business PPC company provides doesn't show you your CPL, you have no way of knowing whether you're above or below the benchmark for your category.

What does the contract say about how I exit, and what data do I keep when I leave?

A PPC contract without performance expectations is essentially a contract for activity, not results.

Losing your historical conversion data and audience lists when switching small business PPC agencies means starting from scratch, which has a real cost in both time and campaign performance.

Before switching agencies, you must secure full account access, download all historical data, including search term reports, auction insights, conversion history, and audience lists, and understand your contract exit terms.

Doing this after you've already given notice is too late.

Three contract clauses to demand before signing:

  1. All accounts created in your name with admin access retained throughout
  2. Full data export delivered within 48 hours of contract termination
  3. A performance-based exit clause allowing termination without penalty if defined benchmarks aren't met within a set timeframe.

How will I know after 90 days whether this agency is working or just busy?

Top small business PPC agencies should be willing to commit to specific KPIs, such as cost-per-acquisition or return on ad spend targets.

They should also explain what causes would lead them to adjust those targets and over what timeframe.

Weekly check-ins during the first 90 days are appropriate for a new engagement; if an agency proposes only quarterly reviews, that cadence is insufficient for early-stage optimization.

According to Digital Applied's 2026 Google Ads benchmarks, AI-powered bidding now drives 78% of all Google Ads spend, and advertisers using these strategies report an average 22% lower cost per conversion compared to manual management.

Still, the advantage varies dramatically by account maturity, which is exactly why the first 90 days of active optimization matter so much.

Performance that has been consistently below baseline for 90 or more days with no credible explanation or improvement plan is a clear signal to consider walking away.

The same goes for an agency that is unresponsive or evasive about account access.

Set these in writing before day one: Your agreed CPA or ROAS target, the timeframe for the learning phase, the reporting cadence, and the specific trigger that gives you a no-penalty exit.

If the agency offering small business PPC services won't commit to these in writing, the confidence they're selling you in the pitch is not backed by their contract.

DesignRush sustains a directory of over 40,000 agencies categorized by service category, location, expertise, and reviews. We build our database in two ways:

  • Our dedicated team of agency experts actively searches the web for top-performing companies. We then pull information from their websites, online presence, and client testimonials to verify their status and qualifications prior to listing.
  • The agencies listed get notified of their profiles on the website and they can choose to claim it or not, which suggests their availability for more collaborations.

Agencies can also reach out to DesignRush and must go through the verification process prior to being listed.

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/month ad 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.
