Optimize Digital redesigned and modernized our podiatry clinic website. A huge improvement. Jesse helped us by figuring out how to organize all our different profiles and social pages.

Optimize Digital takes the worry out of digital marketing. There was always a feeling that I wasn't getting the most out of my website, and that potential customers were not finding my business. The return on the investment in SEO and search marketing with Optimize has been outstanding. Jesse helped me bring in new customers within 8 weeks and we're still working together after a year!

Our firm has used REK for the last 10 years. They are responsive, and deliver on their promise of results. Over the last decade, their team has been essential for the growth of our company. We are solely reliant on organic SEO and stopped doing PPC campaigns many years ago. We are thankful that we have as our partners and look forward to working with them for years to come. If you're on the fence about who you should use, or who you should trust, these are the guys to go to.
Thank you Robbie and team for the continued support and partnership.

Wyred Insights is the best in the business! I have worked with several SEO companies over the past 10 years. What sets this Wyred Insights apart from other companies is their approach. Nikki and Randy will take the time to get to know you, understand your business needs, then create a customized plan specifically for you and your team. They have developed a robust system that will manage, track, and capture every lead regardless of the quality. They provide call screening that qualifies all leads good and bad before posting them onto your custom dashboard. If you are looking for a SEO that will take your business to the next level, then look no further. Choose Wyred Insights

Wyred Insights is a remarkable product, with an incredible team behind it. As a small business owner, I don't just want pretty graphs and displays, I want to understand what is going on and achieve results. From Day 1, Randy, Nikki, and team, have been there every step of the way. Most importantly, they listen to my feedback and try to adapt to what I am looking for. I really appreciate how much they clearly value every business relationship where you are not just a client, but someone who they truly care for and listen to. Without any reservation I recommend Wyred Insights to any business owner who is looking for a great marketing team to bolster the foundation that has been created to take business to the next level!

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.
