Only three of the Google Ads agencies e-commerce brands hear about most publish their fees: Logical Position ($749 a month flat under $7,000 in spend, then 10% to 12% of spend), StubGroup ($950 a month plus 10% of spend after a setup fee) and HawkSEM (guidelines from about $1,200 to $10,000+ a month). Tinuiti, Disruptive Advertising and OuterBox are built for enterprise and mid-market budgets, while Common Thread Collective, Inflow, Solutions 8, JumpFly, KlientBoost, SmartSites and The Snow Media serve growth-stage brands on quoted retainers. This guide compares all thirteen on what they state publicly.

How This List Was Built
Selection criteria
- The agency was named by an AI assistant (ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude or Perplexity) or a list those assistants cited when asked for the best Google Ads agency for an e-commerce or Shopify brand in September 2026.
- It states on its own site that it manages Google Ads for e-commerce advertisers (Shopping, Performance Max or e-commerce PPC).
- We opened its homepage, about page and a Google Ads or pricing page and recorded only what those pages state. "Not published" means the fact is not stated publicly.
- Partner status is recorded only where the page text or image labels state it. Nine of the twelve other agencies claim Google Premier Partner status; KlientBoost, Disruptive Advertising and Common Thread Collective do not state it in text, and The Snow Media does not claim it.
- Ordering is alphabetical. Nothing here is a ranking.
Disclosure
The Snow Media wrote this guide and appears in it with the same fields as every other agency. We did not rank ourselves first, and we linked each competitor so you can check their pages yourself.

How to Choose a Google Ads Agency for an E-commerce Brand
Know your spend band before you shortlist. Tinuiti's intake starts at under $1 million a year, Disruptive manages $450M+ across its clients, and OuterBox and Logical Position run hundreds of accounts. At the other end, Logical Position's $749 flat tier covers spend under $7,000 a month, StubGroup and HawkSEM publish entry points around $1,000 to $3,500 a month in fees, and The Snow Media works with brands spending $5,000 or more a month. Percentage-of-spend models (Logical Position, StubGroup) get expensive as you scale; flat retainers (HawkSEM, The Snow Media) do not.
Ask what "e-commerce" means to the agency. Only OuterBox names Shopify, BigCommerce, Magento and WooCommerce on its site. Common Thread Collective, Inflow and The Snow Media publish DTC case studies with revenue and new-customer numbers. KlientBoost's Google Ads page speaks to B2B and SaaS sales cycles. Ask to see a Shopping or Performance Max account in your category before you sign.
Separate the retainer from the ad spend and the guarantee from the contract. Disruptive offers a 90-day results guarantee to qualifying brands with no long-term contract; StubGroup discounts its setup fee for a three-month term; JumpFly, Solutions 8, HawkSEM and Disruptive say no long-term contracts. Get the fee, the spend, the term and the exit in one written table.
Weigh partner badges against reviews with a platform named. Nine agencies here claim Google Premier Partner status, so the badge does not separate them. Reviews do: Solutions 8 shows 4.9 from 84 Google reviews, Disruptive 4.8 from 350+ Clutch reviews, OuterBox 4.8 from 867 on FeaturedCustomers and Clutch, SmartSites 600+ Google reviews, The Snow Media 5.0 from 4 on Clutch. Ask for two references at your revenue stage regardless.
Decide whether you want one channel or the system around it. JumpFly, Solutions 8 and HawkSEM are PPC-first. Common Thread Collective, Inflow, Logical Position and Disruptive bundle Meta, CRO, email or Amazon. The Snow Media runs Google and Meta together and builds the reporting and lead follow-up automation around them, which matters most for brands without an in-house marketing operations person.
Methodology & Sources
On September 12, 2026 we opened each agency's homepage, about page and a Google Ads or pricing page and recorded only what those pages state, with a URL for each fact. "Not published" means the agency does not state the fact publicly. Review figures are the ones displayed on each agency's own site, with the platform the agency names, and were not independently verified. The Snow Media wrote this guide and is included with the same fields; the list is alphabetical and is not a ranking.

Frequently Asked Questions
Three of the thirteen. Logical Position publishes a full chart: $749 a month flat for $900 to $6,999 in monthly ad spend, 12% of spend from $7,000 to $10,000, $1,200 a month from $10,001 to $12,000 and 10% of spend from $12,001 to $90,000. StubGroup publishes a $2,500 setup fee ($1,500 on a three-month term) and $950 a month plus 10% of spend. HawkSEM publishes guidelines of about $1,200 a month for local businesses, $3,450 for full-service PPC and $10,000 or more for larger brands. The other ten, including The Snow Media, quote per engagement.
HawkSEM, Inflow (2024 badge), JumpFly, Logical Position, OuterBox (2026 badge), SmartSites, Solutions 8 (three consecutive years), StubGroup (linked certification) and Tinuiti (Premier Partner of the Year 2022) state it on their pages. KlientBoost shows unlabeled partner banners, and Disruptive Advertising and Common Thread Collective do not state partner status in text. The Snow Media does not claim Premier Partner status.
Only OuterBox names Shopify, BigCommerce, Magento, WooCommerce and WordPress on its site. The others describe e-commerce, DTC or Shopping campaign experience without naming platforms. The Snow Media publishes Shopify and DTC case studies (FragranceBuy, Toddlekind, Green Eco Dream, ACACIA Swimwear) rather than platform pages.
For Shopify and DTC brands between roughly $1M and $10M in revenue that spend $5,000 or more a month on Google Ads, yes: it runs Search, Shopping, Performance Max and Demand Gen with Meta alongside, launches within 7 to 10 days, and publishes e-commerce results such as FragranceBuy (252% revenue uplift) and Green Eco Dream (71% year-over-year growth). It is a six-person boutique in Naples, Florida with four verified Clutch reviews as of September 2026, so ask for references.
Add the agency fee to the ad spend. At $5,000 a month in spend, Logical Position's published tier is $749 a month, StubGroup's is $950 plus $500 (10% of spend), HawkSEM guides about $1,200 to $3,450, and The Snow Media quotes a retainer for brands at that spend level. At $20,000 a month in spend, percentage models rise to $2,000 to $2,950 while flat retainers stay put, which is why the pricing model matters more than the starting price once you scale.
