      SEO Review from Andrew Hardgrove

      Our company worked with Harris & Ward for many years before we decided to explore being acquired by a national fire protection company. Harris & Ward played an important role in helping us maximize the value of our business by positioning us as the go-to provider for our services in the local market. Our financials reflected that growth, but so did our presence on Google. We were even outranking the company looking to acquire us in our own market, which really impressed them during the acquisition process. I have nothing but positive things to say about the Harris & Ward team. They truly understand their industry, and the results they helped us achieve had a real impact on the value and visibility of our business. I would highly recommend them.

      Liz Walla's Review Sourced from Google

      Harris & Ward really helped to turn around our Orthodontic practice marketing. They not only rebuilt our website but actually came to our offices to shoot the videos and stills used for content. In addition, they successfully grew our organic search, managed our GBP and provided strategies for digital ad campaigns. Todd and his team are professional, responsive and very easy to work with. I would recommend this group to any business!

      My nonprofit attended several of the trainings that Third Marble conducts on digital presence, SEO management, and our Google Profiles. Every year, we track how well we're able to generate traffic to our website. Hands down, after learning from Third Marble Marketing how to manage some of the processes on the back end, we absolutely saw traffic growth from 2023 to 2024 -- not only did we suspect it, but we have Google Analytics data to back that growth feel up. Thank you so much for your help, Third Marble!!

      S B's Review Sourced from Google

      I’ve been working with Tim Goad and the team at Third Marble Marketing for the past three months, and I can confidently say they’ve been a godsend. I had used Google Ads before, but without fully understanding how to work the algorithm, it felt like I was just pouring money down the drain. Since teaming up with Tim and his team, everything has changed. Not only have I saved money on advertising, but I’ve also learned how to make my money work for me. For the first time, I’m seeing real ROI—something I’ve been hoping for over the years but hadn’t quite achieved until now. Before, I relied on methods like Every Door Direct Mail (EDDM) through the USPS, blindly targeting people by ZIP code and hoping for the best. With Third Marble’s strategic approach to Google Ads, I’m now able to reach people actively searching for exactly what my business offers. These are customers genuinely interested in what we provide, and the results show it. While it hasn’t been an overnight success, compared to the money I used to spend for little to no return, it feels like real growth. I’ve tried working with other marketing companies, both domestic and international, and none of them have come close to what Third Marble has delivered. They’ve far exceeded my expectations in service, results, and care. To Tim, Kate, Tyler, Liz, and everyone else on the team—thank you. I’m beyond grateful. Writing this review is a joy because it’s rare to find a company that truly makes a difference. If you’re struggling with online marketing or considering using Third Marble Marketing, let my experience speak for itself. This team delivers, and I’m so proud to be working with them.

      Working with CANS Marketing has been an excellent experience for TracketoShop. We approached their team to develop a custom multi-vendor eCommerce web application, and they delivered exactly what our business needed. From planning and UI/UX design to custom development and implementation, the CANS team demonstrated professionalism, technical expertise, and strong attention to detail. They took the time to understand our business model and built a scalable platform that supports vendors, customers, product management, order processing, and seamless user experiences. What impressed us most was their ability to create a fully customized solution rather than relying on generic templates. The website is fast, user-friendly, mobile-responsive, and tailored to our operational requirements. Their communication throughout the project was clear, and they were always responsive to feedback and enhancement requests. If you're looking for a reliable partner for custom web application development, eCommerce solutions, or website design, we highly recommend CANS Marketing. TracketoShop Team

      I highly recommend Isaac with Techy Toes! I’ve been blessed to have found Isaac and received his services to help promote our plumbing business in Arizona. Within the first 6 months of help Isaac not only had provided us with a fully functioning website but also had worked his magic in getting us to become visible on Google. We have held one of the top three spots in our city on Google Maps for the past 4 years now. The past three years we were awarded the best plumbing company in our city from 3 separate plumbing magazines. We would never have been able to accomplish what we have so far without Isaac. We highly recommend his SEO, Website, and other business related services. He is very honest, patient, and hard working. He will always receive our honor and gratitude for his dedicated hard work and patient understanding. Thank You Isaac and Techy Toes.

      I am very satisfied with Techy Toes Services. Isaac with Techy Toes was able to help make my company, All Drains Emergency Plumbing in Glendale, Arizona one of the top plumbing companies in our city. He was not only able to get our Google Business profile approved for Google, but he was also able to make us visible on Google Maps ascertaining us one of the top three spots on Google Maps in our city which has directly related to our company’s success including giving us a chance to win multiple top plumbing company awards in our city. I will never replace him with another marketer. He is a key core to our company and its continued success. If you are a new company looking for SEO services or help with your website or Google Profile, or Apple profile, or voice search platforms, Isaac with Techy Toes can help tremendously and he is very fair with his pricing. Thank You for all your continued help Isaac! I highly recommend his services.

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.
