      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.

      If you're looking to really build a successful agency and want solid training and support—not just fluff—I highly recommend going to GSD and working with Cody, Raul, and their team. Working with Raul and Cody has been a transformative experience for me. Raul has given me the confidence to truly pursue my dream of owning my own agency. His depth of knowledge is remarkable, and despite my 20+ years in marketing and experience working with major brands, he constantly reminds me of my worth and never lets me forget who I am. His encouragement is genuine, and he truly cares about the success of the people he coaches. Raul is a blessing to work with. Cody, too, brings incredible strength and care to the table. Together, they’ve created a program that I return to time and time again. If you're someone looking to build your brand or agency, their framework is invaluable for building a successful business and scaling it. They also provide ongoing training and support—so as long as you're active, they will continue to help you grow.

      So I had a problem with my website this morning not really sure on what I should do so I gave Werkbot A call on the phone and explain my situation. I asked if it was OK for me to stop in sometime today to talk a little bit more about what I had going on. The person on my phone was OK with me just stopping in when I had a moment. Because of my crazy work schedule, I stop down just after 4 o’clock and they were walking out the door closing up for the day. So I asked if this was Werkbot “ He said yes, it was, And he knew who I was. So he actually opened the office back up we went inside we sat down. He pulled my information up and he started going through everything for me.. I want to just say that I am not a customer of theirs. I’m a random person who made a phone call to them and they were very helpful. I just want other people to know that the customer service that I got from this company was five stars hands-down. You don’t get that much anymore. I did waste about 40 minutes of his time. He never charged me a penny. I will tell all of my friends and family for sure. I highly recommend this company. Thanks again, I appreciate you guys!!

They're great to work with, extremely prompt, adaptable to different working styles, and engaged throughout the process. I feel confident they're going to be walking alongside us as we continue to build and grow as an organization and our platform expands. Definitely the team to have by your side!

      Brandon Johnson's Review Sourced from Google

      I've worked with many different programs and services to create and maintain web sites since my first HTML site in the late 90s. An everchanging thing, it was difficult to keep up with all the new technologies. Web sites became my least favorite aspect of marketing because everything became so tedious. Linking up with Ruby Shore was the best decision I could have made. When I explained to them my disdain for Wordpress, they happily introduced me to their new system, Waves. Whoa. Surf's up, internetters! Waves is where it's at. I finally was able to create a site exactly the way I imagined it. I didn't run into any of the problems that frustrated me in years past using other services, and it didn't take me long before I was humming along to realize my vision. I want a thing. I get the thing. It just works. I have yet to find any limitations holding me back. Everybody Glows lives online as dreamt because of the team at Ruby Shore. Thank y'all for your awesomeness! Brando

      The business world today has become much more demanding for those of us that want to contribute. For those of us willing to put forth the extra effort, TIME has become our major enemy. Ruby Shore has not only developed applications that save us a tremendous amount of time, they have the ability to understand our process with little explanation. This saves even more TIME!!! Not to mention the flawless operation of these applications and the ability to add more features as we begin to understand all of what Ruby Shore can do for our specialized construction business. We will continue to search for ways to improve our business through specialized applications and we will continue to use Ruby Shore for those application designs, development, and management.

7 FAQs About PPC Agencies in the US

What services does a pay per click agency in the US provide?

Pay per click agencies in the US offer a full spectrum of specialized services that integrate paid media into the broader marketing and revenue strategy and enable businesses to acquire more customers and grow demand on targeted channels

Guided by data to make spend decisions, eliminate waste, and maximize return on investment (ROI), the role of these specialists is to make each advertising dollar accountable.  

As part of its portfolio, a PPC agency provides campaign planning, keyword research, ad creation, copywriting, bid management, budget allocation, A/B testing, and performance tracking.

Professional PPC services are greatly sought after, as the majority of companies (60%) outsource PPC management to agencies, while 20% work with freelancers, and only one in five businesses maintains an in-house paid media team.

How much does a pay-per-click agency charge in the US?

PPC companies in the US typically charge from $100 to $150 per hour. In addition to hourly-based models, these agencies operate on the following pricing models: 

  • Fixed monthly fee or a subscription: Ranges from $1,500 to $10,000, depending on the campaign size and scope 
  • Percentage of ad spend: Typically falls between 10-30%, with the percentage often decreasing as ad spend increases 
  • Performance-based pricing: Payment is tied to results, such as the number of leads or conversions generated 
  • Project-based pricing: Entails a one-time fee for a specific project, unaffected by ad spend 

Predominantly, agencies price their services based on a % of monthly ad spend, with over 50% of PPC companies using this model as their primary. Following closely at 33%-35% are agencies charging a flat monthly fee. 

What do US pay-per-click agencies charge that most buyers don't expect?

 Setup fees, creative production, tracking implementation, and tool costs rarely appear in the proposal. Here’s what to expect: 

Add-on  Typical range 
One-time setup fee $500 – $2,500
Conversion tracking setup $300 – $1,500
Ad creative production $300 – $1,500/month
Tool subscriptions $100 – $500/month
Early termination fee 1 - 3 months retainer

Before signing, ask for a sample first invoice from a client at your scope level. 

How do I know if I'm hiring the right pay per click company in the US for my budget?

Most PPC agencies have an effective minimum. Below roughly $3,000 in monthly ad spend, there is not enough data volume for the bidding algorithm to optimize, and not enough margin for the agency to staff the account with anyone senior. If an agency is willing to take any budget without flagging this, that is worth noting. 

Budget fit also affects how you should think about pricing. An agency charging a percentage of ad spend earns more when you spend more. Considering that, at lower budgets, misalignment is manageable, but above $20,000 a month, it becomes a real incentive problem. 

Before signing, ask directly how their fee structure changes as your spend scales. 

What is a realistic timeline to see results from a PPC agency, and what should I expect week by week?

A well-run PPC engagement should show directional movement in cost-per-conversion within three months. 

Here is what the agency should be delivering at each stage: 

  • Days 1 to 30: Conversion tracking confirmed, campaign structure built, baseline CPA or ROAS established, and a documented hypothesis about what will move performance and why. 
  • Days 30 to 60: Active testing underway with ad copy variants, audience segments, and match type adjustments. You should be able to see what is being tested and what the agency expects to learn from it. 
  • Days 60 to 90: Early performance data available. The agency should be able to tell you what did/didn’t work and what changes are planned for the strategy going forward. 

How can I tell if my current PPC strategy is underperforming before I hire anyone?

Check these five things before you brief a single agency: 

  • Conversion tracking is recording the wrong events. If your campaigns are optimizing toward page views or session starts instead of form fills, calls, or purchases, every performance number in your account is built on a bad signal. 
  • Your search terms report is full of irrelevant queries. If you are paying for clicks from searches that have nothing to do with what you sell, your negative keyword strategy is either absent or neglected. 
  • Cost per conversion has been climbing with no change in targeting. Gradual CPA increases without a plausible explanation usually mean the account has not been actively managed; automated bidding running on its own is not optimization. 
  • Your best-performing campaigns have never been tested. If ad copy, landing pages, and audience segments have been static for more than 90 days, the performance is not being optimized; it is merely running. 
  • You have no visibility into which campaigns are driving revenue. If your reporting stops at leads or clicks and does not connect to closed business, you cannot tell what is working. 

What are the red flags when evaluating PPC agencies in the US?

Here are some common warning signs to watch out for PPC agencies in the US: 

  • They guarantee specific results. PPC runs on an auction. No one controls what competitors bid, how the algorithm weights signals, or how your landing page converts.  
  • Their reporting lives in a proprietary dashboard you cannot export. If your performance data only exists inside their platform, you own nothing when the relationship ends. 
  • They have never worked in your vertical. Industry context affects keyword intent, competitor behavior, and conversion patterns. An agency learning your space on your budget is a real cost. 
  • They push to increase the budget before the current spending is profitable. Scaling an unprofitable account spends more money at the same losing rate.
