02

Strategy

Why Simple

Built for SMBs. Allergic to agency BS.

  • 1

    No long-term contracts

    Month-to-month engagements with a 30-day notice clause. If we are not driving value, you leave. Clients stay because the work delivers — not because of contractual lock-in.

  • 2

    SMB-only focus

    We do not take enterprise clients. That means small businesses are never deprioritized for the next $50K/month account. You are the priority.

  • 3

    Transparent dashboards

    Every client gets a live reporting dashboard with traffic, conversions, ad spend, and ROI. No curated PDFs designed to hide losses.

  • 4

    Direct access to senior people

    You will not be passed to a junior account manager. The strategist on your kickoff call is the strategist on your account, month after month.

  • 5

    One agency, ten services

    Integrate SEO, paid ads, content, and lead gen under one roof. No more juggling three agencies and watching them blame each other.

Questions, answered

Things people ask before they call.

Real questions from real prospects. If yours is not here, call (844) 699-2340 — we will answer it directly.

How much does digital marketing cost for a small business?
Digital marketing costs for US small businesses typically range from $1,500 to $7,500 per month depending on scope. According to a 2024 WebFX industry survey, the average SMB spends $2,500–$5,000 monthly on combined SEO, paid ads, and content. Simple Advertising offers transparent monthly retainers starting at $1,500 with no long-term contracts.
How long does SEO take to show results?
Most small businesses see initial SEO movement within 3–4 months and meaningful traffic gains by month 6. According to Ahrefs research, only 5.7% of newly published pages reach Google's top 10 within a year — which is why an established strategy and consistent execution matter more than short-term tactics.
What services does Simple Advertising offer?
We offer ten core services: SEO, local SEO, website development, Google Ads management, social media marketing, reputation management, content marketing, email marketing, video marketing, and lead generation. Each can be purchased independently or bundled into a growth package.
Do you work with businesses outside California?
Yes. While our headquarters is in Marina Del Rey, California, we serve small and medium businesses across all 50 US states. Our team operates remote-first, with clients ranging from local service businesses in the Midwest to e-commerce brands in the Northeast.
What makes Simple Advertising different?
Three things set us apart: no long-term contracts (cancel anytime with 30 days notice), transparent reporting (clients see live dashboards, not curated PDFs), and SMB-only focus (we don't take enterprise clients). We have served 50+ clients since 2023, with engagements built around month-to-month flexibility built around month-to-month flexibility.
Is SEO or Google Ads better for a small business?
Most small businesses benefit from running both, but the right ratio depends on timeline and budget. Google Ads produces traffic immediately but stops the moment spending stops. SEO takes 3–6 months to show results but compounds over time. A common starting allocation for SMBs is 60% paid ads and 40% SEO in year one, shifting to 40/60 in year two as the SEO engine matures.
How do I get started?
Three steps. First, schedule a free 30-minute discovery call by phone at (844) 699-2340 or through our contact form. Second, we deliver a free competitive audit within 48 hours. Third, if it is a fit, we propose a strategy and start work within one week.
