What a PPC company does
- Keyword and audience research, including high-cost PPC keywords.
- Campaign structure, bidding strategy and budget pacing.
- Ad copy, creative and landing page recommendations.
- Conversion tracking and reporting on CPA and ROAS.
- Ongoing testing and optimization.
How to choose a PPC company
- Match the specialty to your channel. A search-first firm and a paid social creative partner solve different problems.
- Ask who owns the ad accounts. You should keep ownership of your Google, Meta and analytics accounts.
- Review the pricing model. Common models are a flat monthly fee, a percentage of ad spend, or a hybrid. Ask what is included.
- Check reporting. Reports should show CPA, ROAS and revenue, not just clicks and impressions.
- Ask about creative. On Meta and TikTok, creative is often the main performance lever. Find out who produces new ads and how often.
- Request relevant case studies from your industry and budget range.

Frequently asked questions
What is a pay-per-click company?
A company that manages ads you pay for per click, mainly on Google, Microsoft, Amazon and social platforms, covering setup, bidding, creative, tracking and optimization.
How much do PPC companies charge?
Most charge a flat monthly fee, a percentage of ad spend, or a mix. Prices vary by scope and spend, so compare what each proposal includes.
Is it worth hiring a PPC agency?
It is usually worth it when your spend is large enough that small efficiency gains pay for the fee, or when your team lacks time to test consistently.
What is the difference between PPC services and paid social?
PPC traditionally refers to search ads, but the term now covers any pay-per-click channel. Paid social agencies focus on Meta, TikTok and similar platforms, where creative drives more of the results.
Should I use a PPC company or an in-house team?
An in-house team gives more control; an agency gives specialist experience and testing capacity. Many brands combine an in-house strategist with an agency or creative partner.
Is creative holding back your paid social?
MediaNug produces creator-led ads built for testing on Meta and TikTok. Work with our agency or order videos on NugVerse.
