We’ve had a great experience working with Baal & Spots. From the start, their team has been professional, responsive, and genuinely invested in helping us grow our business. They took the time to understand our goals and put together a strategy that actually delivers results—not just promises.
Their communication has been clear and consistent, and they’re always quick to adjust or provide insight when needed. It’s refreshing to work with a marketing partner that feels like an extension of our own team rather than just a vendor.
Overall, Baal & Spots has exceeded our expectations, and we’d highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and effective marketing company.

I run a floral business in Austin, Texas, and turning to Jay Mehta for our eCommerce
website design and SEO was the best decision we made. Jay's team created a stunning,
easy-to-navigate website that perfectly captures the essence of our brand. But it's their
SEO expertise that truly set them apart. Since the launch of our optimized site, we've
seen a remarkable increase in online orders, with our site appearing at the top of search
results. Jay's strategic approach to SEO tailored specifically for eCommerce has
expanded our reach in the Austin market and beyond, driving significant sales growth.
The professionalism and result-driven approach of Jay and his team have been
instrumental in taking our floral business to new heights.

I had the pleasure of meeting with Jeff Swartz recently, and I couldn't be more impressed with Ethic’s level of professionalism and dedication to their clients. From the moment I reached out to them, I knew I was in good hands.
What sets Ethic Advertising apart is their genuine willingness to listen and understand the unique needs of your business. They don't believe in one-size-fits-all solutions; instead, they take the time to customize their marketing strategies to perfectly fit your goals and objectives.
I highly recommend Ethic Advertising for your marketing needs. Their stellar reputation is well-deserved, and I look forward to our partnership in the future.

Greg Leach's Review Sourced from Google
We talked to numerous marketing firms across the US and most were either inept or wouldn’t talk to us because we’re a startup.
When I initially contacted Ethic, I was so used to having a bad experience with other marketing firms, I bluntly said “we’re a startup that needs a lot of help with brand recognition, but we’re on a very limited budget. Can you help?”. The owner Jeff said “let’s talk”. We spent the next hour discussing our business operation and different marketing strategies. We then had a follow up call in which Jeff came prepared with a full presentation and spent the afternoon explaining each line item step by step of how to execute our short term marketing goals. He did all this on his own time for nothing in return. We do not have an agreement in place and there's no guarantee of future business when working with a startup.
I can't thank Jeff and the Ethic team enough. They will be our “go to” for all our future marketing needs but it's not because of the free time they gave us, but rather their level of expertise. Our company launched service in January 2023 and currently has 400 app downloads. I will give a follow up review in one year to showcase the value of this experience. If you’re looking for a high level marketing company contact Ethic.

We've been working with Ethic for about a year and a half, using various forms of online advertising and strategy. They have been great partners - always quick to respond, thorough in their approach and knowledgeable in the ever changing digital ad space. Their ability to scale their services to fit our needs and budget has been extremely beneficial as well. We highly recommend Ethic to anyone looking for a quality digital partner.

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.
