Best Ecommerce PPC Agencies in 2026

The best ecommerce PPC agencies in 2026 are (1) Searchbloom, (2) Pilothouse, (3) Common Thread Collective, (4) AdVenture Media Group, and (5) Tinuiti. They score highest on five things that decide whether paid search pays for a store: feed and Shopping depth, measuring profit rather than revenue, search and Performance Max depth, creative and landing pages built in house, and published ecommerce results. Among the agencies that publish a price, Logical Position charges $749 a month at the lowest spend band and Upgrow starts at $3,200 a month on a 12-month agreement.

Searchbloom publishes this guide and is one of the 10 agencies ranked. It ranks itself first on three published store accounts with dates on them, including one where moving the bidding from revenue targets to profit targets grew revenue 84% and 98% in consecutive quarters, and on running Microsoft Ads as seriously as Google. It does not publish a feed service, and the profile says where that matters. Every fee, ad spend floor, term, and result on this page was checked on the agency's own website on October 13, 2026, and each result links to its source.

Ecommerce PPC Agency Comparison

Each agency was scored out of 50 on five criteria worth 10 points each. The table shows the total, the situation each one fits best, and the paid channels it lists on its own site. The fees and terms are in the next table.

"Revenue ROAS treats a high-margin order and a loss-making one the same. Divide 1 by your gross margin, add the agency fee, and that is the number every campaign has to beat. If an agency cannot tell you that number before the first dollar runs, keep looking."

~ Cody C. Jensen, CEO & Founder, Searchbloom

What Each Agency Costs to Hire

The real monthly cost of an ecommerce PPC agency is the management fee plus the ad spend it needs to work with, plus any setup fee, feed add-on, or percentage of spend. Two of the 10 publish a full price, Searchbloom publishes its starting point, and three more publish the spend they fit. Where a cell says not published, the agency's site did not state it on the check date, so ask for it in writing.

Three fee models appear on this page. A flat fee by spend band (Logical Position, Upgrow) is known before the call. A percentage of spend rises with the budget; Logical Position moves to 10% to 12% above $7,000 a month and AdVenture Media offers it as an option. A retainer with performance incentives (Pilothouse) ties part of the bill to results. Terms run from month to month (AdVenture Media, Searchbloom) to six months (Logical Position) and twelve (Upgrow). Searchbloom's Google Ads management starts at $2,000 a month and rises with ad spend, stated on its home page; its PPC management page describes the work.

What the Ten Publish, and What They Do Not

Before the first call, here is what each agency's own site states in plain words, read on October 13, 2026. A yes means the figure or rule is on the site; anything else is partial. 3 of the ten publish a management fee, 3 publish the ad spend they need, 4 publish their contract term, 8 publish at least one store result with a time period, 4 say they bid to profit, contribution margin, or break-even ROAS, and 7 name Microsoft Ads as a channel. No agency publishes all six. Searchbloom publishes a starting price, its term, dated results on Google and Microsoft, and that it bids to profit on ad spend; it does not publish the ad spend it needs. Logical Position and Searchbloom publish the most; Pilothouse publishes the least and prices by conversation.

How We Scored These Agencies

Paid search for a store is judged on profit after the ad is paid for, and the product feed decides what Shopping can show before any bid matters. So the score weighs the work that connects the two. Each criterion is weighted equally at 20% per criterion (10 points each), for a 50-point total. Per-criterion breakdowns appear in each profile below.

• Feed and Shopping depth (10 points). Merchant Center and product feed work, titles and attributes, custom labels, and Shopping campaign structure.
• Profit measurement (10 points). Whether success is defined as profit, contribution margin, MER, or incremental lift, rather than platform ROAS alone, and whether margin data reaches the bidding.
• Search and Performance Max depth (10 points). Google Search, Performance Max, Demand Gen, and Microsoft Ads account craft and testing.
• Creative and landing pages in house (10 points). Ad creative, product imagery, and landing or product pages built and tested by the agency.
• Documented ecommerce results (10 points). Published case studies with a named or described store, a stated metric, and a time period.

Every agency on the list is a paid media agency you hire to run the work. Facts come from each agency's own website, checked on the date above. Case study figures are each agency's own reporting. A result with no stated time period is marked that way in its profile. No agency paid for placement.

The 10 Best Ecommerce PPC Agencies

Each profile follows the same order: a one-line summary, the scorecard, who it fits, an overview, published results with links, fees and terms, and when another agency is the better pick.

1. Searchbloom

Summary: Searchbloom, a search marketing agency in South Jordan, Utah, runs ecommerce paid search under its ACE methodology on Google and Microsoft, feeds product-level profit into the bidding so campaigns optimize toward profit on ad spend rather than revenue, and builds and tests the product and landing pages in house.

Quick facts: Founded December 2014. South Jordan, Utah. Clutch 4.9.

Scorecard: Feed 7, Profit 10, Search 10, Creative 9, Results 10. Total: 46/50.

Best for: Stores where margins differ by product, so a revenue-based ROAS hides which orders make money, and stores that want Microsoft Ads run as seriously as Google.

Overview: Searchbloom is a search marketing agency founded in December 2014 and based in South Jordan, Utah. It runs ecommerce paid search under its ACE methodology (Assets, Control, and Experimentation) on Google Search, Shopping, Performance Max, Microsoft Advertising, YouTube, and Meta, with SEO and conversion rate optimization alongside. On its published seed store account it connected the store's margin data to Google Ads so bids target profit on ad spend, not return on revenue. It is a Google Ads Partner, holds a 4.9 rating on Clutch, was a Search Engine Land Awards finalist in 2025, and works without long-term contracts.

Published results:

• ShirtSpace, wholesale apparel: Google Ads revenue up 95% and transactions up 136%, and Microsoft Ads revenue up 45%, comparing July to December 2018 with the same months of 2017; search conversion rate rose on both platforms.
• Premium seed store, profit-on-ad-spend bidding: After years of optimized campaigns, moving bids from revenue targets to profit targets produced revenue growth of 84% in Q1 2023, 98% in Q2, 10% in Q3, and 37% in Q4, year over year, with Performance Max tested against the new conversion actions.
• Self Reliance Outfitters, outdoor gear: Revenue up 161% in Q4 2021 against Q1 2021 after resolving a Meta policy block and adding Google Ads in Q4; results published with the brand's permission for the 2021 calendar year.

Fees and terms: Management fee: Google Ads management from $2,000 a month; rises with ad spend. Ad spend it fits: No spend range published; the fee rises with the budget. Terms: No lengthy contracts.

Consider another pick if: Searchbloom does not publish a feed management service, and Amazon and TikTok are not core channels. If your growth runs on Meta and creator content as much as search, Pilothouse and Common Thread Collective are built for that; if you only want Google Shopping with a technology layer, Bidnamic is the specialist.

2. Pilothouse

Best Ecommerce PPC Agency by Situation

The ranking answers which agency is strongest overall. These picks answer which one fits your catalog, your channels, and your budget.

If Margins Differ Across Your Catalog

Pick: Searchbloom, then Common Thread Collective. A revenue ROAS hides which orders make money. Searchbloom's published seed store account feeds product-level profit into Google Ads and bids to profit on ad spend; Common Thread Collective segments the feed by contribution margin tier and reports in margin.

If Google Shopping Is the Whole Job

Pick: Bidnamic, then Logical Position. Bidnamic gives each SKU its own bid strategy and publishes dated Shopping results. Logical Position's FeedLogic adds a dedicated feed specialist from $49 a month inside a published price table.

If You Want Microsoft Ads Run Seriously

Pick: Logical Position, then Searchbloom. Logical Position includes Microsoft in every plan and is Microsoft's 2024 global channel partner of the year. Searchbloom publishes a Microsoft result next to its Google one, 45% and 95% revenue growth in the same period.

If You Are a DTC Brand on Meta and Amazon Too

Pick: Pilothouse, then Common Thread Collective. Both run Google next to Meta, Amazon, and TikTok with creative produced in house. Pilothouse adds Shopify theme development; Common Thread Collective adds geo holdout tests that show whether a channel's revenue is incremental.

If You Spend Under $5,000 a Month

Pick: Logical Position, then Inflow. Logical Position's lowest band starts at $900 in monthly spend for $749 a month. Inflow manages accounts from $3,000 a month. Pilothouse and Common Thread Collective are built for far larger brands.

If You Want No Long-Term Contract

Pick: AdVenture Media Group, then Searchbloom. AdVenture Media works month to month with an average engagement over three years. Searchbloom works without long-term contracts. Logical Position's shortest term is six months and Upgrow's is twelve.

If You Want the Price Before the First Call

Pick: Logical Position, then Upgrow. Logical Position publishes its full table: $749 a month at $900 to $6,999 in spend, then 10% to 12% of spend above that. Upgrow publishes $3,200 a month plus a $2,500 setup fee on a 12-month agreement. Searchbloom publishes only its $2,000 starting point.

If Merchant Center Is Throwing Errors

Pick: Inflow, then Logical Position. Inflow includes Merchant Center feed management and continuous feed optimization in its PPC service for accounts from $3,000 a month. Logical Position's FeedLogic assigns a feed specialist from $49 a month by SKU count. Searchbloom does not publish a feed service.

If You Want the Ads and the Landing Pages From One Team

Pick: AdVenture Media Group, then Pilothouse. AdVenture Media's creative department produces video, static, and UGC ads and A/B tests landing pages, the only 10 of 10 on that criterion with Pilothouse. Pilothouse's studios add creator content and Shopify theme work. Searchbloom builds and tests product and landing pages in house and scored 9.

If You Need Proof the Channel Is Incremental

Pick: Common Thread Collective, then Tinuiti. Common Thread Collective runs geo holdout tests and publishes one: Tabs Chocolate's Meta incremental ROAS of 2.42 against a platform-reported 1.57. Tinuiti's Bliss Point suite includes an incrementality lab and media mix modeling; AdVenture Media runs holdout tests too.

If You Spend Seven Figures a Year Across Search, Amazon, and Retail Media

Pick: Tinuiti, then Pilothouse. Tinuiti's intake form starts at under $1 million in annual spend, and its more than 1,000 employee-owners cover search, Amazon, retail media, and streaming. Pilothouse is built for brands at $10 million to $50 million or more in sales and runs Amazon next to Google and Meta.

What a Good ROAS Is, and Why Profit Beats It

Return on ad spend is revenue divided by ad cost, and the only ROAS that matters is the one that breaks even for your store. Divide one by your gross margin: a 40% margin breaks even at 2.5x, a 25% margin at 4x, and the agency fee sits on top of that. A benchmark from another store tells you nothing about yours.

The deeper problem is that revenue ROAS treats every order the same. A store with a 60% margin on one line and 15% on another can hit its ROAS target while the ads sell the wrong products. Searchbloom's seed store account is the published example: after years of optimized campaigns, it connected the store's margin data to Google Ads so bids targeted profit on ad spend instead of revenue, and revenue grew 84% in the first quarter and 98% in the second, year over year, because the account stopped promoting products that lost money. Common Thread Collective reports in contribution margin and AdVenture Media sets the break-even ROAS from gross margin before launch; ask any agency which of those it does.

Should You Run Google Ads In House or Hire an Agency

The answer depends on monthly ad spend and on whether anyone in the building owns the product feed. The agencies on this page set their own floors: Logical Position from $900 a month in spend, Inflow from $3,000, Upgrow from $5,000, and Pilothouse and Common Thread Collective for brands at eight figures in sales.

• Under about $2,000 a month in ad spend: the owner or a freelancer. An agency fee at this level can equal the media. Fix the feed first, run standard Shopping on your best-margin products, and set a break-even ROAS from your gross margin.
• About $2,000 to $10,000 a month: an agency with a published fee and feed work included, such as Logical Position or Inflow.
• Above $10,000 a month, or margins that vary across the catalog: an agency that bids on profit and can reconcile platform revenue with your store data, such as Searchbloom, Common Thread Collective, or AdVenture Media.
• When to hire in house: when paid search is the store's main source of orders and spend is large enough to keep a full-time specialist busy. Many stores keep an agency alongside that person for feed work, creative, and testing.

How to Choose an Ecommerce PPC Agency

1. Write down your break-even ROAS. Divide one by your gross margin, then add the agency fee. That number, not a platform benchmark, is what every campaign has to beat.
2. Ask what the account bids on. Revenue, profit, or new-customer revenue. An agency that can connect your margin data to the ad platforms is bidding on a different thing than one reading platform ROAS.
3. Ask who owns the feed. Merchant Center errors and weak product titles cap Shopping before any bid matters. Ask whether feed work is included, priced separately, or left to you.
4. Add up the full monthly cost. Add the management fee, any setup fee, feed or creative add-ons, and the minimum spend the agency fits. Compare that total, not the fee alone.
5. Read one store case study end to end. Pick a store like yours and check the time period, the metric, and whether the result is paid search alone or blended with Meta and email.

Questions to Ask Before You Sign

• What will the account bid on: revenue, profit, or new-customer revenue, and how does my margin data get in?
• Who manages Merchant Center and the feed, and is it in the fee?
• Show me a store like mine, the metric, and the time period, and tell me whether it was search alone.

What Changed in Ecommerce PPC in 2025 and 2026

Three Google Ads changes affect how a store should judge a PPC agency.

• Google announced AI Max for Shopping on April 30, 2026, a beta that rewrites product titles to match the query and expands Shopping campaigns into text ads on other pages of your site. Google's own figure is about 5% more conversions at a similar ROAS for retail advertisers. Ask whether the agency has turned on text customization, final URL expansion, or neither, and why.
• Google's Marketing Live 2026 announcements brought Smart Bidding Exploration to Shopping and Performance Max campaigns with product feeds, in beta, and campaign total budgets to Search, Shopping, and Performance Max. Exploration lets bidding reach past a strict ROAS target, which only pays if the target was set from margin in the first place.
• Starting June 15, 2026, offline conversion imports and enhanced conversions for leads uploads moved to the Data Manager API. For a store, that is the path profit, margin, and returns data take back into Google Ads; an agency that bids on profit should already be on it.

How much do ecommerce PPC agencies charge?

Among the agencies on this page that publish a price, Logical Position charges $749 a month at $900 to $6,999 in ad spend and 10% to 12% of spend above that on a six-month term, and Upgrow charges from $3,200 a month plus a $2,500 setup fee on a 12-month agreement. AdVenture Media offers a percentage of spend or a flat fee month to month without publishing the figure, Pilothouse adds performance incentives to a retainer, and the rest price by consultation.

What is a good return on ad spend for Google Shopping?

There is no single good ROAS; the break-even figure is one divided by your gross margin, so a 40% margin breaks even at 2.5x and a 25% margin at 4x, before the agency fee. A revenue ROAS also treats a high-margin order and a loss-making one the same, which is why Searchbloom bids on profit on ad spend, Common Thread Collective reports contribution margin, and AdVenture Media sets break-even ROAS from gross margin before the account starts.
