Web Design Review from Krystal Zell
Netlynx Inc's team successfully managed the workflow and conveyed the process, bringing our ideas to life. Their timing and work quality were exceptional.We provided web copy for all of the pages. In a matter of days, Netlynx created a mockup with images. Shortly later, they updated the website with my new logo. We went through two versions of adjustments to the way the copy looked. They offered photographs for usage, but I chose to find my own, which they placed into my website. Next, they had a Zoom session to demonstrate me how to simply update the copy on my own. We'll be working on SEO next.

Working with Chariot has been an outstanding experience. What could have been a daunting website transition felt smooth and seamless thanks to the team’s expertise, responsiveness, and unwavering support throughout the entire process. We felt fully guided and confident every step of the way and are truly grateful for this partnership. We’re excited to continue collaborating with Chariot as we grow and evolve our digital presence!

Dawn Spilsbury Pucci's Review Sourced from Google
Chariot Creative were incredible to work with. Our project development team was not familiar with building websites and Chariot Creative led us patiently by the hand through the entire process. They took our ideas, concepts and content needs and crafted the perfect website-based tool for us and our stakeholders. When we showed the results to our stakeholders around the coastal US, the consistent feedback was how beautiful and engaging the website was - which was critical for the success of our project. Chariot Creative were receptive to our crazy ideas and suggestions ("Is this even possible?") and were able to translate them into reality ("Sure, this is how it would look..."). Then, they even helped design the social marketing strategy for our project. I would (and have) recommend them to anyone needing anything web design, social marketing, SE), etc. They were a pleasure to work with.

Abby Prato's Review Sourced from Google
Jason and his team are the best in the biz! We weren't sure what to expect going into this process since we had never worked with a company like Chariot before. Jason and his team made the process painless and never once made us feel like we were asking too many questions or that our questions were dumb. They were patient, kind, professional and above all else they are masters at their craft, the proof is in our new logo design and website. The feedback from our clients has been nothing but positive and we can't wait to see what the new year brings with Chariot having our backs with the ongoing website maintenance plan. They really have given us the ability to take our small business to the next level and for that we are grateful.

I had a great experience working with the OBCIDO team. Communication was clear from the beginning and their services were explained well beforehand, so I knew exactly what was offered. They stuck all deadlines and responded promptly to any emails or questions. Their selected writer/editor - Amr - who worked with me throughout the PR process, was the great selection by OBCIDO for my work with them. I would be happy to recommend them to more colleagues and artists in my community.

The team at Compete Now has been terrific, and they have really blown me away with my website design. I started with a basic GoDaddy website I built myself. I reached out to Compete Now to have them rebuild it. They worked with me hand and hand with my vision and made it a reality. The website looks beautiful, it's snappy speed-wise, and most important it doesn't read like a shoe-horned SEO website to the consumer. Great job guys!

We've been teamed up with Trevor & his team at Stolber for over a year now. We started early given the time and investment it takes to launch a successful organic SEO foundation. We've found him and Tamara absolutely indispensable in getting us the traction we needed to successfully launch our business. When the time was right, we turned on paid search and accelerated the momentum we had built on the organic side. We are continually impressed with the team's commercial thinking, responsiveness, and proactiveness. We would highly recommend any business, regardless of size, industry, or company stage, to work with Trevor and the Stolber team. 5/5

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.
