"When I was tasked with hiring someone to help with our marketing, I turned to Credo. They introduced us to two vetted pros who specialized in what we need. Credo saved us a lot of time and money by getting us the right pros the first time."
"We contacted Credo and after a 30 minute discussion where they asked deeper questions to clarify our needs and current setup (including other agencies we already work with), they introduced us to two agencies who ended up being a perfect fit for us."
"This was my first time using Credo and I will never hire another agency without them. I needed a PPC agency and I needed one FAST. Credo got me 3 discovery calls in a day with some seriously high quality companies. The hardest part was choosing between them. If you're going to hire an agency, use Credo. Seriously."
"All 3 candidates were awesome and I really appreciated the process. Using Credo blew my mind in terms of saving time, 3 super high quality candidates, and we got a lot out of hearing their various approaches."
A company can be polished and professional and still not deliver great results, so we specifically ask each network applicant about their clients and results they have driven.
We ask every applicant for:
Quality of work delivered is extremely important to us and extremely important to you.
Our professional vetting involves the following:
Every network applicant must also pass our culture screening to make sure they're aligned with our standards.
This involves a 30 minute call covering:

"I don't know of anyone who puts as much care and attention into properly vetting and matching SEO projects with vendors than Credo."
Prioritize agencies who have experience with the channel or channels you need help with. If you have multiple needs, we recommend prioritizing a full service firm who can do all channels as opposed to hiring individual agencies or contractors for each channel. This will reduce the number of providers you have to contact as well as the management overhead once they are hired.
Note - at Credo we match you with providers from our network who both fit your marketing channel needs and have experience with your type of business (SaaS, Ecommerce, etc). Where possible, we also match you with providers who have experience in your industry.
We recommend speaking with multiple agencies to verify that they have the experience you require and that you like speaking with them. Culture fit between you and your agency is the unspoken factor we find that determines if an engagement will be successful. We then recommend that you conduct longer strategy sessions (about an hour) with 2-4 agencies to dive deeper on your needs with their team.
Note - Credo schedules the initial discovery calls for you with agencies from our network.
Once you’ve gone deeper with 2-4 agencies, ask for proposals that you can review that include scope, timeline, cost, and terms. We recommend that you use our Agency Reviewer resource to make it easier. Some agencies may have a separate contract with terms and conditions, which is fine.
Once you receive proposals, you can negotiate back with agencies. The most common things to negotiate back on are scope and timeline. If ideal budget is above your ability to pay, see if you can reduce the scope to get the project within budget while understanding the tradeoffs.
Finally, make a decision about who to work with and commit for a period of time that is long enough to know if you’re able to get results but not so long that it traps you into something that isn’t working. We recommend that you agree to at minimum a 3 month contract, and ideally a 6 month contract with a three month out.
Make sure healthy expectations are set and your agency fully understands your objectives. The best results are created when you have alignment with your agency around your business goals.

The history of PPC is a fascinating portion of the internet marketing saga. This post provides a few significant dates in PPC’s inception and uses key facts and a few figures to show the size and prevalence of the PPC internet marketing sales technique.
The internet is so ubiquitous in our lives today that it’s hard to believe what we know as the world wide web is only about 40 years old. Assembling the networks that provided the infrastructure for navigating the internet began in the 1980s. Then on August 6, 1991, computer scientist Tim Berners-Lee opened the World Wide Web to the public and ISPs began to populate the internet.
Businesses soon realized the internet’s power to connect internet users with their products and services through internet advertising. Less than 20 years after the first networks were created, Bill Gross, founder of GoTo.com, introduced pay-per-click marketing to the world.
In 1998, PPC marketing was a novel idea. In the beginning, PPC meant that advertisers paid the internet browser company for advertising their products only if and when users actually clicked on an ad. Clicking on the ad took the user to the company’s website, or showed the user a video, or engaged the user on-site.
Advertisers submitted bids on their choice of search terms related to their products/services. The higher the bid, the higher an ad would appear in the listed search results. (The general wisdom is that the ads need to appear within the first ten search results in order for users to bother to click on the ad.)
Soon advertisers started bidding up the price of search terms that had no relation to their products so that their ads appeared higher than other bidders on the list of search results related to the terms they chose. This practice was based on the theory that the ad appearing in the search results might entice users to click on it even though they weren’t searching for that product in the first place. (We’ve all probably had the frustrating experience of conducting a search and seeing unrelated items popping up in the search results. Now you know why.)
Because it works. PPC gives advertisers the opportunity to track the success of their ads – and whole ad campaigns – by tracking the number of users who click on it. PPC’s appeal is that advertisers only pay for successful clicks. This is very different from print ads where advertisers pay publishers for every ad they run – even those to which no one pays any attention. And advertisers can not track the success or failure of print ads in real time. PPC is a game-changer.
In 2000, Google entered the PPC arena with its Google AdWords (now Google Ads) marketing tool. Advertisers pay Google when users click on their ads. Google makes its primary income from PPC to the tune of $70 billion in 2015. All the rest of its business lines only accounted for $7 billion in 2015 (10% of its PPC income). In 2017, AdWords accounted for 96% of Google’s annual revenue, or $43.7 billion. Google Search and AdWords make their 1.5 million advertisers/publishers/non-profits about “$283 billion in economic activity” in the US alone. Google search engine claims a 78.01% market share in 2018.
Yes.
You may have heard the phrase Pay Per Lead in relation to internet advertising. This type of advertising is more expensive because advertisers get more information. They pay for the click-through if the user:
What’s the biggest trend on PPC marketing in 2018? Two words: Machine Learning. Harnessing machine learning promises advertisers a greater ability to:
In addition, Google Home and Amazon Echo will change the way customers buy – via voice command. PPC marketers will seek advantages from such active searchers, to gather insights on how to provide them a customized, more personal shopping experience.
For advertisers, that is the question and, before they can answer it, they must know two things:
Knowing how much a potential advertiser is willing to pay per click is an important part of deciding whether to use PPC. In determining a company’s magic number, potential PPC advertisers should consider:
