I would like to take this opportunity to describe our experience with Midwest Horizons Marketing. My name is Andy Burris, president of the Cruz4life foundation. We recently had an opportunity to hold a fundraiser at Freddy’s in Lansing, Kansas and felt we needed to boost our community outreach. A friend of mine recently referred me to Midwest Horizon‘s Marketing . I contacted Midwest and received an immediate response from Amanda, Who assured me that even with the short amount of time she would be able to accommodate our needs. With Her attention to detail, friendly attitude, and knowledgeable experience, Midwest Horizons Marketing came through with their promise in a timely and efficient manner.. The same day I contacted Amanda, she had put together a beautiful advertisement and posted it on media. The result lead to a participation number, which exceeded our goal! We will definitely reach out to Amanda again for our future needs and I highly recommend Midwest Horizon’s Marketing For any ones marketing needs! Kudos to Amanda and Midwest horizons marketing! Sincerely, Andy Burris! Thank you, Amanda!

Marketing is my shortcoming when it comes to my business. I am not good at it. I meet Amanda earlier this year after watching her work with some others in my office building. I was very impressed. I set up a meeting and we came up with a plan. I knew she was the lady for the job. She was very interested in me and my business. She asked questions and she listened. I have had several different commercials now running and so many people see them. It has made out phones start ringing in our slow season. This is Amazing. The Roi has been awesome. 20 new leads called in one week. We booked 13 of those and 5 more will be booking after the 1st. I’ve been stuck in the valley of despair for 2 years. We are stuck between 550k-700k annually. This is good, but could be great! I knew I needed to market out of this valley. Amanda heard my cries and went to work. I’m certain 2025 we will hit 1 million for the year and this is directly related to my partnership with Horizon Midwest Marketing! If you are looking to grow and I mean really grow, you need to set up a meeting right away. She has many packages to fit your budget and your needs. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

In 2026, the debate isn't about which is better, but which is faster. With AI Overviews (AIO) now dominating the top of search results, both Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and Pay Per Click (PPC) have had to change.
The short answer: PPC brings fast results; SEO builds momentum over time.
Use SEO when you want long-term, compounding traffic and can afford to wait for results. Use PPC when you need immediate visibility, fast testing, or predictable demand on a controlled budget.
For best results, combine both methods.
What is the best PPC platform for my business?
If your goal is...
Use this platform
Immediate sales or leads
Google Ads (Search)
Building a brand/lifestyle
Meta (Instagram) or TikTok
Selling to other businesses
LinkedIn Ads
Selling products on a budget
Amazon Ads or Microsoft Ads
Targeting Gen Z or trends
TikTok Ads
The best platform depends entirely on your business model and where your customers spend the most time. Since the rise of AI-integrated search, PPC has split into two worlds: intent-based (people looking for you) and interruption-based (you looking for them).
Best for most businesses:
Google Ads: Ideal for high-intent traffic. If someone types "emergency plumber Cheney" or "best CRM for startups," they want to buy now.
Meta Ads (Facebook & Instagram): Best for visual products and impulse buys. If your product looks great in a video or photo, Meta's algorithm is elite at finding people who didn't know they wanted your product until they saw it.
The specialist platforms:
LinkedIn Ads: The gold standard for B2B. It is expensive (high CPC), but your B2B PPC agency can target by specific job titles (e.g., Director of Logistics) or company size.
Amazon Ads: A must for physical product sellers. It often has a higher conversion rate than Google because users are already in shopping mode.
TikTok Ads: In 2026, TikTok is a massive search engine for Gen Z and Millennials.
Alternatives:
Microsoft advertising (Bing): Often overlooked, but it reaches a more affluent and older demographic (usually 45+). Competition is lower, so your cost-per-click (CPC) is often 30% cheaper than Google.
Reddit & Quora: Best for niche, high-trust communities. If your audience is highly technical or research-heavy, appearing in these threads can feel more like a recommendation than an ad.
How much does PPC agency management cost?
Your total PPC cost is ad spend plus management fees. Industry competition determines how high both numbers go.
Average costs for a standard PPC campaign are:
Ad spend: $500 to $20,000+ per month
Cost-per-click (CPC): Approximately $1.62 per click
Cost-per-1,000 impressions (CPM): Approximately $3.12
Remarketing CPC: $0.66 to $1.23 per click
Tools and software: $15 to $800 per month
Agencies usually charge using one of these models:
Percentage of ad spend: 12% to 30% of monthly spend
Flat monthly fee: $1,000 to $3,000 for small to mid-sized businesses
Project-based pricing: $1,000 to $10,000+ for audits, setup, or short engagements

How long does it take to see the results of a PPC campaign?
You will see traffic in 24 hours, data in 2 weeks, and true profitability in about 3 months.
PPC delivers results faster than SEO, but it's not instant. While your ads can appear within hours, profitable, stable results generally follow a three-stage timeline.
Days 1 to 7: Ads go live and gain immediate traffic. The platform's AI tests audiences. Avoid changing settings, or you will reset the learning process.
Weeks 2 to 4: You spot winning ads, block wasted search terms, and see early leads or sales. Cost Per Acquisition (CPA) may be high because you’re buying data to see which ads convert.
Months 2 to 3: You have enough data to cut underperforming keywords and double down on profitable ones. Results stabilize, and you hit your target return on ad spend (ROAS).
Who owns your ad accounts?
You should, but you might not. The legal and technical ownership of an ad account depends entirely on how it was set up and what is in your contract.
If you set up the account using your business email and your credit card, you own it. You simply invite a PPC agency as a partner or manager. If you choose to finish the partnership, you maintain full control and can remove their access at any time. You keep all the historical data, the winning ad formulas, and the tracking pixels that have learned who your customers are.
When a PPC agency manages campaigns under its own account, you don't retain ownership. If you part ways, you could lose valuable campaign data and have to start from scratch.
