I've weighted toward verified-review platforms (Clutch, G2) and disclosed pricing instead.\n\n**The short version: pick by your monthly ad spend, not by the brand name.** Management fees run $500-$1,500/mo for small accounts, or 10-20% of spend, and most agencies want $1,500+/mo in ad spend before they'll take you.\n\n**If you're spending $1,000-$3,000/mo on ads:**\n\n1. **JumpFly** - My first recommendation for a genuinely small local or e-comm account.

Their $5,000+ \"minimum project size\" on Clutch reflects annualized value, not a monthly floor.\n2. **Logical Position** - Probably the single best fit for true small businesses. They're one of the few large Premier Partners that takes accounts under $2,000/mo spend without treating them as an afterthought, and they don't lock you into long cont", "answer_truncated": true, "measurement": "One answer from one engine on one date.
