Los Angeles has a large and competitive market for paid search, with agencies serving local businesses and national ecommerce brands alike. Start with the agency’s specialty, because paid search skills matter more than an office address. Therefore, ask for case studies from brands like yours, with a clear starting point, timeframe and result.
Next, check who will do the work. Many agencies pitch with senior people and hand accounts to junior staff. In addition, confirm how often you will meet, which reports you will get and how quickly they answer questions.
Local or remote?
A partner near you makes in-person workshops and shoots easier, and sharing a time zone speeds up daily communication. However, many strong teams work remotely with clients nationwide. So weigh local presence against specialty and results, and choose the agency that fits your goals best.
Questions to ask before you sign
First, ask what they would do in the first ninety days. Next, ask how they measure success and what happens if targets slip. Then ask about contract length and notice periods. Finally, confirm that you keep ownership of every account, file and login. As a result, you can compare every provider on equal terms.
How we ranked them
Each agency is scored out of 100: results and case studies (40%), specialty fit (25%), pricing transparency (20%) and verified reviews (15%). The score sets the editorial order. Sponsored spots are sold separately and never change it.
Match the agency's specialty to your channel, category and stage. A launch specialist and a scale specialist are different hires.
Compare pricing models, not just the headline fee: flat retainer, percentage of ad spend, or a hybrid. Ask what happens to the fee as you grow.
Ask for two case studies from brands like yours, with the starting point, the work done and the result.
Confirm who owns your ad accounts, creative and data, and what happens to them if you leave.
Check verified reviews and the minimum contract length before you sign.
