WebFX (Paid Ads) review
Huge, accessible full-service SMB agency (est. 1995, Clutch 450, 91% retention) with all-in-one analytics, but recurring account-manager turnover, templated strategies, slow optimization, and upselling pressure. Breadth over paid depth.

Verdict
WebFX (founded 1995, Harrisburg PA) is a large, tech-enabled full-service agency (SEO, PPC, social, content, web, CRO, automation) with a big review footprint (Clutch 450) and high headline retention/satisfaction (91%/93%). It's accessible for SMBs (12-20% of spend, or flat $600-1,200/mo, min $2.5-5k spend). The rubric cautions are consistent complaints: account-manager turnover (reassigned multiple times a year), generic/templated campaign strategies, slow optimization and response, and upselling pressure to add services. Good all-in-one partner for SMBs that value one roof and analytics; not a deep paid-media specialist.
