## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-16 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> Quick caveat before the list: nearly every "10 best PPC agencies" article you'll find is written *by* a PPC agency that ranks itself #1. I've weighted toward agencies with large volumes of third-party reviews (Clutch/G2) and published pricing floors, since those are the only two things you can verify without a sales call.

> **If you're spending under ~$5k/month on ads:**

> 1. **KlientBoost** - The best default pick at small-business scale. $1,000/mo minimum ad spend is the lowest floor among the serious agencies, and they have ~400 Clutch reviews at 4.9 plus ~380 on G2. Their differentiator is that landing pages and CRO are bundled in, not upsold - which matters a lot when your budget is too small to win on bid optimization alone.
> 2. **Third Marble Marketing** - Starts at $499/mo management for accounts spending $1k-$20k, with pricing published openly on their site. Unglamorous, but for a local service business that just needs competent account hygiene, paying $2k/mo in fees on $3k of ad spend is the actual trap.
> 3. **Pronto Marketing** - ~$500/mo, month-to-month. Worth knowing about specifically because of the no-contract term; a lot of the cheap end of this market locks you into 6-
