They help us raise brand awareness through the google platform. We as a brand provide them with the digital assets needed for them to operate within the google platform and other services. On a biweekly basis, we reconvene to look over analytics/revenue and either continue our marketing strategy or revise it.

Video SEO Review from William McKeen
We devised a set of videos to be shot and asked Effeect to partner with us. Effeect comes in on the requested days to shoot video; the service provider brings the appropriate size crew and equipment and supplies us with raw footage they collect.
Weve created 34 videos based on their captured footage, but we plan to use it to make at least a dozen videos. Were handling all of the video editing and postproduction in-house.

Noor Nasoor's Review Sourced from Google
We approached Error Sync with a challenging requirement: consolidating highly diverse services into one professional, user-friendly website.
Error Sync delivered excellence across the board. They provided strategic clarity by segmenting our six specialized service lines perfectly, which immediately streamlined lead generation and reduced bounce rates. The final design is modern, fully responsive, and projects the high level of professionalism our clients expect in the UAE market.
Our website is now an operational asset, not just a brochure. If you run a multi-service business in the GCC region and need a web partner who combines technical expertise with deep business understanding, choose Error Sync. Highly recommended—a truly error-free experience!

Regan Koonce's Review Sourced from Google
We tried doing our own social media for hiring and just never got the quality or quantity of applicants we needed. We met with Provaré and they took the time to learn about our business and the type of person we look to employ. Now, after just a few months of working with them, we’ve seen our highest number of applications ever. Our online advertising is out performing all other forms of marketing we are doing for new hire recruiting. Ledegar Roofing looks forward to our continued partnership.

Provare Marketing provides their clients with a full service digital marketing service that encompasses social media, digital advertising, search engine optimization, review management, email and marketing automation that has not only increased our online visibility, but has increased our inbound lead generation by over 90%. Brent and Michael are extremely efficient and work as an extension of our team, providing real time metrics that clearly demonstrate the constant value that they're delivering to G.E.C.U. as an organization. 10/10 would recommend them to any business serious about increasing their online presence!

I’ve been working with Provare for almost a year now. In that time, I’ve seen improvements to the point of exceeding our leasing goals compared to the previous two years. Provare has taken the time to learn about our market, our goals, and understand the needed attention to our budget requirements, all of which have been pivotal parts of our success. I would recommend Brent and Michael to anyone for online marketing needs and look forward to continuing to work with them.

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 managementto 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.
