Searching this question surfaces mostly that. So below I'm leaning on things that are checkable - published pricing, minimum spend, partner status, third-party review volume - rather than listicle rankings.\n\nThe other thing: if your ad spend is under roughly **$2,000/month**, most agencies are a bad deal. A $750-1,500 fee on $1,500 of spend means half your money is going to management. At that level hire a vetted freelancer or do it yourself.\n\n## If you're spending ~$600-5,000/month\n\n**1. Logical Position** - My default recommendation for genuinely small businesses. Flat **$699/month** for lead-gen accounts spending $600-$4,999, no setup fee, month-to-month contracts, then 10-12% of spend at higher tiers. Transparent published pricing and no lock-in is rare in this space. Strong on Google Shopping if you sell products.

SmartSites** - High third-party review volume on Clutch, works down-market, handles web + PPC", "answer_truncated": true, "measurement": "One answer from one engine on one date.
