Comparing agencies?Here's the honest version.
What we would say if we were sitting across from you: how we work, what every package costs, what we have actually done this year, and the questions you should ask everyone else on your list, including us.
The things that are hard to tell from a website. So here they are in a table.
| Syvex | The usual agency | |
|---|---|---|
| How results are reported | Leads and booked work, from the ad account and your own forms | Impressions, clicks and a branded dashboard |
| Contract | None. Stop any month | 6 or 12 months, often auto renewing |
| Who you deal with | The two owners, every time | An account manager, then a different one |
| Pricing | Public. Website $2,500, SEO $1,000 a month, ads from $1,000 | "Depends", revealed after a discovery call |
| Recommendation | Budget first, then the cheapest thing that works | The biggest package you will sign |
| Who owns the website | You. Site, domain, hosting login, every file | Them, until you pay to leave |
| Ad spend | Paid to Google or Meta directly, never marked up | Bundled into a fee, margin hidden |
| When it is not working | You hear it from us first, with the numbers | "SEO takes time" |
What does your budget actually buy?
Drag it. The recommendation changes, and so does everything below it. Under $3,000 a month we will tell you not to run Google Ads, because the spend cannot buy enough data to learn from.
We ask this first on purpose. The right service depends on the budget, not the other way round. Under $3,000 a month, Google Ads cannot buy enough data to be worth running, so we point you at local SEO instead. This slider is remembered across the site.

Ad spend is paid to Google or Meta directly and is separate from management. Google Ads management scales with the spend it manages, $1,000 a month is the floor. No lock-in contracts on anything: if it is not working, you hear it from us first and you can stop.
Not case studies. Live sites with the numbers next to them.

Had my webpage built by Syvex. Completed in a very short time and it looks amazing. I've already had bookings from it. Cannot recommend them highly enough.

Questions worth asking any agency. Our answers.
How do you report results?
In leads and booked work, straight from the ad account and your site's own forms. Not impressions, not clicks, not a dashboard we have dressed up. If a campaign is not paying, you hear it from us first. Ask the others to show you a real report from a real client.
Is there a lock-in contract?
No. Not on the website, not on SEO, not on ads. You own the site, the domain and every file from day one, and you can stop any monthly service whenever you like. If someone needs twelve months to prove it works, ask why.
Who will I actually deal with?
Jake and Justin Ripley, the two owners. No account managers, nobody in between. Ask the others who will be on the phone in month four.
Why do you ask for a budget before recommending anything?
Because the right service depends on it. Under $3,000 a month, Google Ads cannot buy enough data to be worth running, so we recommend local SEO at $1,000 a month. Over $3,000, ads start to make sense. Asking first means we recommend the cheapest thing that works, not the most expensive thing you will accept.
Is the ad spend separate from your fee?
Yes. It goes to Google or Meta directly and you see the real number in the account. Management is $1,000 a month minimum and scales with the spend it manages. If an agency bundles spend into one fee, you cannot see the margin.
What does it cost?
A website is a flat $2,500 plus $300 a month hosting and maintenance. Local SEO is $1,000 a month. Google Ads management is $1,000 a month minimum with a $3,000 total monthly budget. Bundles save $300 a month. Every new client gets a free Google review card, set up and ready.
What if it does not work?
Then we tell you, with the numbers, and you stop. No lock-in means the only reason to stay is that it is working. That is the arrangement we want too.
A free Google review card, set up and ready for your business.
