I'd treat the names below as a shortlist to go verify, not a ranking - and the single best predictor of a good outcome is whether the agency's published minimum spend is close to *your* actual budget. An agency built for $50k/month accounts will put a junior on your $3k account.\n\n## Who I'd actually name\n\n**1. Logical Position** - My default recommendation for genuinely small budgets. Published pricing starts at **$649/month for ad spend between $900 and $4,999**, which is the lowest real entry point among the large, credible agencies (Google Premier Partner, thousands of SMB clients). Watch for the $649-$999 \"account restructure\" fee at onboarding. Strongest on e-commerce and local services.\n\n**2. JumpFly** - The better choice if you're spending $5k+/month. **$900/month for budgets up to $5,000**, plus a **$1,495 one-time new client fee**, scaling to ~10% of spend at higher budgets. Longstanding reputation, low churn, and they staff accounts with senior people rather than rotating juniors.
