16 PPC and Google Ads Agencies to Consider

Published Updated 15 min read
Choosing a PPC agency means deciding who will spend your advertising budget, interpret the results and recommend what to change. For a marketing leader, the useful first question is whether the team can show relevant work for the channels, customers and markets you need to reach.
This guide compares 16 PPC and Google Ads agencies, with their published client evidence and service scope. It also brings together the commercial terms that can change a hiring decision: how fees are calculated, who owns the accounts and what happens when the relationship ends. Search engine marketing, or SEM, is the umbrella for paid search; this shortlist also covers paid social.
Each firm here shows a paid search or paid social management service on its own pages, plus a named client, case or measure of work delivered. Each firm's site was read on October 5, 2026. Results and business totals below are the firms' own claims. This is a selected list, with no claim to represent the whole market or rank performance.
DisclosureinBeat and Web Tonic are part of Fieldtrip, a group of marketing agencies in which Jake Jorgovan is a partner. Both are among the 16 firms in this list.

Annual client ad spend managed exceeds $450 million, according to Disruptive Advertising, which also reports more than 2,000 client engagements. Its service offering spans Google and Bing ads, paid social, landing pages and creative strategy, making it a candidate when the work extends beyond search account management.
The homepage read in October 2026 says “No long-term contracts” and offers measurable growth within 90 days or money back for “qualifying brands”. Eligibility criteria are not stated on the pages read. Before relying on the offer, get the qualifying conditions, growth measure and refund coverage in the agreement.

Back to the comparisonHawkSEM website, captured October 2026.
HawkSEM's homepage reports an 11x return on ad spend for Teak HQ through Microsoft Ads. It also presents named case tiles for Verizon and Datadog.

Paid social covers platforms including Facebook, LinkedIn and TikTok, while landing page work sits alongside campaign management. The site's pricing section describes percentage-of-spend, flat-fee and performance-based models; those descriptions are not a quote for HawkSEM's own engagement.

Hurom's overall cost per acquisition fell by 65%, according to inBeat's account of the work. inBeat's NielsenIQ case tile states that it managed more than $20 million in paid media. The service fit is paid media led by performance creative: its own pages list Meta, TikTok, Snapchat and Google Ads.
For Hopper, inBeat's services page reports a 20% reduction in user acquisition cost through performance creative, with more than 300 assets shipped a month; the Hopper case (opens in a new tab) explains how ongoing creator content addressed TikTok ad fatigue.

Clients retain ownership of ad accounts, history, conversion data, audiences and creative assets. Its cancel-anytime terms require written notice and a 60-day wrap-up to hand the account over.

B2B and international campaign requirements
4 of 16 firmsStart here when the brief centers on business buyers, multiple markets or a complex enterprise account. Several firms elsewhere in the list also offer B2B services.
Common Ground Digital
Back to the comparisonCommon Ground Digital website, captured October 2026.
Common Ground Digital's PPC case cards report 77% lower cost per lead for Arts University Bournemouth; a 60% increase in conversions for CIPHR, which set its goals for the first half of 2024; and an additional £2 million in sales pipeline value for iMyHome, which set its targets in March 2024.

Its offices are in Oxford, Birmingham, Liverpool and Manchester. Landing page input, conversion tracking and lead-quality feedback are included in its description. The FAQ read in October 2026 offers shorter, flexible agreements; the exact duration and notice period are not stated on the pages read.
COSEOM
Back to the comparisonCOSEOM website, captured October 2026.
COSEOM reports more than $15 million in annual PPC budget managed, and its PPC page shows Workday CLM, Babbel, National Instruments and WinZip under "Trusted by international B2B brands". A testimonial from a legal software company credits it with cutting cost per acquisition by up to eightfold in some cases.
The firm explicitly serves B2B SaaS and technology companies selling into the US, Europe and APAC. Its FAQ says campaigns, keywords and ad copy are built in each market's language, with native review before launch. It names offices in Barcelona, San Francisco and Bangkok. For a multilingual brief, ask who will write and review each market's work and how results will be reported by country.
In October 2026, COSEOM's PPC page described a fixed monthly management fee, separate from ad spend. The amount is not stated on the page read.
Konstruct Digital
Back to the comparisonKonstruct Digital website, captured October 2026.
Konstruct Digital's enterprise PPC page names Chamco, InterClean and Canadian Food Safety Group among the clients for which it has managed large, complex PPC plans. It also carries an OpsGuru testimonial. The page states no PPC outcome figures.
Its relevant distinction is campaign management across multiple locations, languages and currencies. The offering includes Google and Microsoft search ads, social advertising and display. For an enterprise with several business lines, ask it to show how it separates budgets, reporting and local decisions across an account of comparable complexity.
Powered by Search
Back to the comparisonLoopio's digital marketing manager, quoted on Powered by Search's paid advertising page, credits the firm with "20 to 40% range growth quarter over quarter from LinkedIn specifically." The quotation does not say which measure grew. The page also carries a Projul testimonial and names Basecamp, Elastic and Fortra in its client material.
Its service is aimed at B2B companies, including SaaS and technology businesses, and spans paid search, paid social, remarketing and account-based marketing. For the first call, ask which parts of the program connect advertising to qualified opportunities and which depend on your internal sales team.
The paid-ads page describes a flat-fee system with no ad-buy fees or performance payments. Its homepage (opens in a new tab) headline reads: “Get 30% more sales ready opportunities in 90 days. Guaranteed.” The guarantee's conditions are not stated on the pages read in October 2026. Its fit FAQ, as captured on October 5, 2026, asks for a minimum of $7,500 a month spent on marketing and a minimum of one year. The minimum covers marketing; no agency fee is stated. Confirm how the commitment applies to your proposal, and get cancellation terms and the guarantee's conditions in writing.
UK-based and UK-serving teams

Back to the comparisonImpression website, captured October 2026.
Impression's Topps Tiles case card attributes more than 5,000 new visitors to its paid media strategy for the retailer. Its PPC page also presents a Marmalade case built around YouTube campaigns.
The firm offers paid search, Shopping, Microsoft advertising and video services. It states Google Premier Partner and Microsoft Select Partner status, with offices in London, Nottingham, Manchester and New York. A buyer considering video alongside search should ask it to explain the role of each channel in the Marmalade work and how it would measure that combination for their own business.
Mavlers
Back to the comparisonMavlers website, captured October 2026.
Mavlers reports more than $43 million in media spend managed and a cost per acquisition of $8 for Doctors Health. Its page says more than 7,000 clients across the US, UK and Australia trust the business.

Its UK PPC page covers search, shopping and social advertising, including Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and LinkedIn. The firm states Google Ads Premier Partner status and lists addresses in Liverpool, Knutsford, London and Kendal.
What should you settle about fees and contracts?
Compare the management service separately from the media budget. A fixed fee, a share of revenue and an hourly charge create different payment obligations. Ask how the bill changes when spend grows, a channel is added or the account needs rebuilding.
| What to compare | Published examples | What to settle in writing |
|---|---|---|
| Fee base | KlientBoost offers a revenue-share option. OMG and COSEOM describe fixed monthly management fees separate from media. Web Tonic quotes one monthly management amount based on scope and measurement complexity. Powered by Search describes a flat-fee system with no ad-buy fees or performance payments. | Included channels and deliverables; setup and creative charges; any spend bands; the revenue definition and payment trigger for revenue sharing. |
| Term and exit | Disruptive says no long-term contracts. OMG requires written notice and a 60-day wrap-up. Common Ground describes shorter, flexible agreements without an exact term on the pages read. Powered by Search's fit FAQ asks for a minimum of one year. | Minimum commitment, renewal, notice, remaining charges and the handover timetable. |
| Account ownership | OMG states client ownership of accounts, history, conversion data, audiences and creative. Web Tonic states client ownership of the account, conversions and history. | Your administrator access, billing, asset rights and transfer responsibilities when the work ends. |
| Guarantees | Disruptive's offer of measurable growth or money back, described in its profile, is limited to qualifying brands; eligibility criteria are not stated on the pages read. Powered by Search's homepage guarantee is quoted in its profile; conditions are not stated on the pages read. OMG rejects promising a specific ROAS before reviewing the account and business economics. | Qualification, baseline, outcome, measurement period, exclusions and the exact refund or other remedy. |
Two firms publish small-account prices that show how hourly, package and setup fees work. One PPC Agency (opens in a new tab) lists an hourly rate of £90 plus VAT in October 2026. Its named monthly package cards show £360 for Local Business, £450 for Small Business and £720 for Growing Business. Its FAQ (opens in a new tab) describes a rolling monthly subscription that can be canceled with seven working days' notice.
DBS Digital (opens in a new tab) lists management from £380 plus VAT per month and a separate one-time setup fee from £570 plus VAT in October 2026. These two firms illustrate pricing structures for smaller accounts; the amounts do not establish what an enterprise brief should cost.
What does a Google Partner badge tell you?
Google Partner status shows that a firm has met Google's platform requirements, including a minimum level of managed spend. Google's rules (opens in a new tab), in October 2026, require a registered manager account to maintain at least $10,000 in ad spend across managed accounts over 90 days and a minimum optimization score of 70%. At least half of the company's account strategists must be certified in Google Ads (counting up to 100 users), with at least one certification in each product area where spend meets Google's stated threshold.
Premier Partner adds an annual assessment placing the company in the top 3% of participating companies within its country. Eligibility is relative to other participating companies in that country and may not be available everywhere. Neither designation establishes fit for your sector, languages or proposed team. Ask the firm to show its current status and then examine relevant client work.
How to turn the list into a first-call brief
Define the result and the work you are buying
Name the channels, markets, products and internal responsibilities. For a B2B brief, agree what counts as a qualified opportunity and how sales will feed outcomes back to the paid media team. For ecommerce, specify the margin and customer-acquisition measures the team should use. The guide to paid media ROI can help frame that measurement discussion.
Paid search can buy visibility while campaigns are funded, but the paid placements stop when spending stops. Competitive auctions can raise click costs, and campaigns need continuing oversight. Budget for the management and testing work as well as the media itself.
Compare relevant work and the people who will deliver it
Request a case with a comparable channel, buyer and sales cycle. Ask what changed, which result was measured and who did the work. A named client is a useful reference point; an attributed result gives you a more specific question to pursue.
For international campaigns, name every required language and ask who writes the ads, reviews landing pages and reports local results. If the team needs to be near you or in your time zone, confirm who will do the work, their working hours and meeting arrangements. An office address alone does not answer those delivery questions.
Agree how the work will improve after launch
I'd ask how the team will refresh creative and test new channels as the current approach loses effectiveness. I described the underlying problem in an April 2020 essay, drawing on Andrew Chen's explanation of declining click-through rates: “every marketing tactic is great when it starts, but then everyone starts doing it and people become immune to the tactic”. Applied to paid media, that means asking for a testing and renewal plan alongside the launch plan.
Put the following questions into the brief and compare the answers with the fee and contract proposal.
- Delivery: Who works in each account, and who is responsible for creative, landing pages and tracking?
- Evidence: Which relevant client case can you explain with its baseline, period and conversion definition?
- Reporting: What will the regular written review show, and how will sales outcomes reach the people making campaign decisions?
- Testing: How will you identify fatigue, fund new creative and decide whether another channel merits investment?
- Fees: What triggers each charge, and which changes in scope increase the bill?
- Ownership and exit: Which accounts and assets stay with us, and what will you hand over within the agreed notice period?
- Guarantees: What must we qualify for, what result is promised and what remedy applies if it is missed?
