## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-15 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> One upfront caveat worth knowing: most of what ranks for this query is agency self-promotion - "9 Best PPC Agencies of 2026" lists written by agencies that happen to rank themselves #1. I've weighted toward verified-review platforms (Clutch, G2) and disclosed pricing instead.
> 
> **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.
> 
> **If you're spending $1,000-$3,000/mo on ads:**
> 
> 1. **JumpFly** - My first recommendation for a genuinely small local or e-comm account. Google Premier Partner, flat-fee pricing (no percentage that scales against you), 4.9/5 across 95 verified Clutch reviews, and they're known for actually assigning a senior person rather than an account coordinator. Their $5,000+ "minimum project size" on Clutch reflects annualized value, not a monthly floor.
> 2. **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
