Tortoise and Hare Software was hired by an IT services company to manage their Google PPC ad campaign. The team's goal was to generate leads for the client.

Despite their efforts, Tortoise and Hare Software failed to deliver quality leads, resulting in a disappointing ROI. The cost per lead rose to a non-viable $2,000. However, the team was clearly communicative and transparent. That said, the client was unhappy with the offboarding process. This review includes the service provider's response.

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

We worked with this agency for a couple of months, spending around $8K in total. Ultimately, we had to walk away due to misalignment and poor results.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

Lead Quality & ROI: We ended up with just a handful of leads, all from very small businesses (3-person operations or less). The cost per lead was over $2,000 — not viable by any standard. The results didn’t justify the cost — On top of that, the offboarding process included an unexpected additional month’s charge due to a strict cancellation clause, which made the exit more frustrating than it needed to be.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

hroughout the engagement, communication was clear, direct, and timely — particularly in early stages. Expectations and processes were always outlined in writing.

What was your primary form of communication with Tortoise and Hare Software?

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

They were upfront about how demand-based platforms like Google Ads can vary in performance due to timing, market conditions, and budget.

Are there any areas for improvement or something Tortoise and Hare Software could have done differently?

Misaligned Expectations: While there were conversations about realistic performance early on, the actual results didn't align with what we were hoping for in terms of business size and relevance.

Cancellation Terms: The cancellation clause requires a full calendar month’s notice, which means you can easily end up paying for an extra month even if you decide to stop. This wasn’t something we focused on initially and would advise others to pay close attention to.

Offboarding Experience: Once we brought up cancellation, the tone of communication shifted. It felt less collaborative and more transactional, which left a sour note on the way out.

Company Responses

The service provider responded on June 2, 2025.

We're sorry the 1-month advertising effort during a historic stock market meltdown induced by tariff tensions did not go to plan. We set expectations on sales calls multiple times and via email that typical costs per lead for new advertisers on Google Ads are typically about $1,500/lead but may be higher with rising inflation and and economic uncertainty. Not sure how that came as a surprise. We're also sorry that negative reviews are left as a condition of paying invoices specified in contracts we both signed are part of the business culture at your company. Hopefully you will find better success with another agency in the future.

"Offboarding was unpleasant, communication turned tense, and the contract terms were rigid — not a positive experience."
