Why Fast-Growing Companies Choose Creekside

Other marketing agencies call us when they're stuck. Here's why.

Our Incentives Are Aligned With Yours

Our fee is a percentage of your ad spend, and the rate drops as you scale. We don't benefit from inflating your budget. You control the spend, and we only make more money if you're actually making more money. No long-term contracts.

You Talk to the Person Running Your Ads

No account manager relaying your questions to someone you never meet. You've got a direct line to the person actually running your ads, and questions get answered the same day.

Two Platforms. Nothing Else.

Google Ads and Meta Ads. That's it. No SEO, no web design, no social media retainers. We've managed $20M+ in ad spend across 200+ businesses, and we're not trying to be everything to everyone.

Only Two Platforms, Mastered

  • Google and Meta ads only. Nothing else.
  • A dedicated specialist for every piece: ad creatives, conversion tracking, landing pages, CRM, and email flows
  • Our platform expertise combined with your industry knowledge

You Can Actually Reach Us

  • One direct channel with your whole account team
  • Same-day responses to any question or issue
  • Boutique by design: every specialist works with a maximum of 10 clients
  • Senior specialists only. No juniors learning on your budget.

Pricing Built Around Your Results

  • Performance pricing: we make more as you make more
  • 7-day money-back guarantee
  • First call is about fit, not a pitch
  • No long-term contracts

Nothing Gets Lost

  • Live custom reporting connected to your real data. Check it any time. No vanity metrics.
  • The Creekside Brain: every detail of your account, strategy, and history in one system, so when you ask a question three months in, we actually know the answer
  • Bi-weekly reports that answer four questions: what worked, what didn't, what's next, and what we need from you
  • Server-side, first-party conversion tracking plus offline CRM data fed back to the ad platforms

How We Work Together

We'll be upfront: this is the part of the page where every agency shows you their process graphic. Here's the honest version of ours.

01

Consultation

Book a free call where we'll audit your current ad accounts live. The whole point is to figure out together whether working with us actually makes sense. If it doesn't, we'll tell you that too.

02

90-Day Strategy

We build a custom 90-day plan around your actual business: your goals, your budget, your industry. Nothing templated. If your situation looks like someone we've already helped, we'll tell you that, but the plan still gets built for you.

03

Here's What We Found

Before you spend a dollar with us, we show you exactly what we found in your accounts, what we'd do about it, and why. No vague promises. Just the plan, in writing.

04

We Build and Launch

Once you're ready, we build out the campaigns and start running. Weekly optimization from day one. We're not waiting 30 days to figure out what's working.

05

Ongoing, For Real

You've got a direct line to your account team, not a support ticket queue. Same-day answers. Every two weeks you get a report that covers what worked, what didn't, what's next, and what we need from you. No fluff.

Is This a Good Fit?

Most of the time we can tell pretty quickly on a call. But here's the honest version of who this tends to work well for, and who it doesn't.

Probably a Good Fit

  • Your business does $500K to $10M in annual revenue
  • You've got a proven offer that people are already buying
  • You're trying to grow, not just maintain
  • You want senior specialists, not juniors learning on your budget
  • You value a boutique team capped at 10 clients per specialist
  • You want someone who'll tell you when something isn't working, not just keep cashing the check

Probably Not a Good Fit

  • Your business is under $500K in annual revenue
  • You're just starting out, with no proven offer yet
  • Price is the main thing you're shopping on
  • You want someone to run ads and stay out of your way, with no reporting and no strategy calls
  • You need results in the next 30 days or the business doesn't survive
  • You'd rather work with a big-name agency

Two Guarantees. Here's What They Actually Mean.

7-Day Money-Back Guarantee

Spend the first 7 days getting to know how we work. If you decide it's not a good fit, you get every dollar back. No awkward conversation, no runaround.

90-Day ROAS Improvement, or We Work Free

If your ROAS hasn't improved within 90 days, we keep working for free until it does. We're not going to sit here and tell you we have a 100% success rate, but we're confident enough to put this in writing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's your pricing structure?
The fee is a percentage of your ad spend, and the rate drops as you scale: 20% up to $30k, 15% from $30k to $60k, and 10% above $60k per platform. There's a $1,500 monthly minimum per platform and total fees are capped at $15,000 per month. The cap is there on purpose: once your spend gets big enough, we don't need to keep taking a bigger cut. No long-term contracts.
How is this different from other agencies?
A few things, honestly. We optimize for actual revenue and new customer growth, not just a low cost-per-click number that looks good on a report. The person managing your account is the person you talk to, not an account manager relaying your question to someone else. And we do a live audit on the first call, so you see how we think before you spend anything.
What industries do you work with?
Healthcare, legal, finance, SaaS, e-commerce, home services, and a bunch of others. 200+ businesses total. The platforms are the same regardless of industry. What changes is how we use them, and that's based on your data, not a template we pull from a drawer.
How long does it take to see results?
Honestly, most people see movement in the first 30-60 days. But we'll tell you the same thing we tell everyone on a call: nobody can promise results in a week, and we're not going to pretend otherwise. The 90 days is about having enough data to know what's actually working, not just getting lucky on a few early ads.
What's included in the free audit?
On the first call we pull up your accounts live and walk through them with you, using our $10K Profit Recovery checklist: 247 points across your Google and Meta setup. We're looking for the 5-7 spots where money is quietly leaking out. You keep the findings either way.
What guarantees do you offer?
Two. The 7-day money-back guarantee is a fit check: spend the first week getting to know us, and if you decide it's not right, you get everything back. The 90-day ROAS guarantee is the performance side: if we haven't improved your return on ad spend in 90 days, we keep working for free until we do. Both are in writing.
How fast do you respond when I have a question?
Same day. You've got a direct line to the people actually working on your account. Ask something in the morning and you'll have an answer by end of day, not a promise to pass it along.
How does reporting work?
Every two weeks you get a report that covers what worked, what didn't, what we're doing next, and what we need from you to keep moving. You also get a live dashboard connected to your real account data that you can check any time. We don't report on impressions to make the numbers look bigger.

Find Out What's Actually Happening in Your Accounts.

We'll pull up your Google and Meta accounts live on the first call and walk through them with you. Worst case, you get a free second opinion on where your budget is going. Best case, we figure out that working together makes sense.
