OUR PHILOSOPHY
We take an analytics-based approach to digital execution and are known for producing relevant brand experiences while also delivering the evidence to back up our successes. Our results-proven mix of cross-channel marketing, audience-centric creative, and data-backed strategies focuses on engagement and presents new opportunities well beyond the traditional days of impressions-driven programmatic and mass media buys.
HOW WE WORK
Most firms operate as virtual factories, where managers juggle dozens of accounts every day, resulting in a lose-lose situation: you're not satisfied in the end, and we don't foster a relationship we're proud to stand by.
Each strategist is assigned a small handful of accounts, becoming an expert in every aspect of your business and market movements. The work we do is labor-intensive, communication-intensive, and incredibly dynamic. Overloading our teams would render success impossible.
Preserving this service model requires us to be pragmatic in choosing client partners. We will objectively analyze your business, goals, and budget well before we negotiate terms. If we determine we can’t add value to your business or our methodology isn’t a good fit, we'll be honest about it. Consequently, should you choose us as your digital partner, you can be confident in our ability to deliver the results we promise.

PBJ Marketing restructured a camping and outdoor apparel company's Google and Meta ad accounts. They set up new campaign structures, refined audience segments, and created custom tracking events.
PBJ Marketing organized the client's ad accounts, making them easier to manage and scale. The client's return on ad spend improved by 25%, cost per acquisition dropped by 18%, and qualified traffic became steadier. The team kept things moving, communicated regularly, and delivered on time.
BACKGROUND
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I'm the marketing manager at a camping & outdoor apparel company. We design and sell outdoor apparel and gear for hikers, campers, and everyday adventurers.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
What challenge were you trying to address with PBJ Marketing?
We hired PBJ Marketing to clean up our paid ad accounts and create a more structured approach to campaign management. Our goal was to reduce wasted spending, tighten up targeting, and start seeing more consistency in conversions across Google and Meta platforms.
SOLUTION
What was the scope of their involvement?
PBJ Marketing handled a full audit and restructuring of our Google and Meta ad accounts. They set up new campaign structures, refined audience segments, created custom tracking events, and provided weekly reporting. They also helped us test different creative formats and adjusted budgets based on performance trends. The main deliverables were campaign builds, performance dashboards, and strategy recommendations.
What is the team composition?
We worked with about two people throughout the project.
How did you come to work with PBJ Marketing?
We found them through Clutch. We picked PBJ Marketing because their responses addressed our situation. Other agencies were too focused on selling their process instead of asking about ours. PBJ Marketing felt like they were ready to work, not just pitch.
What is the status of this engagement?
The project lasted from November 2024–May 2025
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
The biggest shift was how organized our ad accounts became. Campaigns were easier to manage, performance trends were clearer, and we finally had a structure that let us scale without guessing. Our return on ad spend became more consistent, and we stopped burning the budget on underperforming audiences. After the changes, our return on ad spend improved by around 25%. We also saw a drop in cost per acquisition by roughly 18% and a steadier flow of qualified traffic.
How did PBJ Marketing perform from a project management standpoint?
The project management was solid. They kept things moving without dragging it out, and we always knew what was happening. Deliverables showed up when expected, and if something shifted, they flagged it early. Nothing felt rushed or delayed. We primarily communicated via email and Zoom. We had regular email and Slack updates and feedback.
What did you find most impressive about them?
PBJ Marketing didn’t overcomplicate things. A lot of agencies tried to impress us with buzzwords or giant decks. PBJ Marketing simply focused on the work. They listened, made smart changes, and kept the process low-stress.
Are there any areas they could improve?
It would have been helpful to get a bit more context in the early performance reports. The data was there, but a quick breakdown of what it meant or what we should watch next would have saved some back and forth.

Online Review
PBJ Marketing managed a real estate firm's digital marketing strategy, focusing on PPC and SEO. The team audited the client's website, optimized existing pages, added new content, and improved local search.
Thanks to PBJ Marketing's work, the client saw a 30% increase in qualified leads, a 25% improvement in organic search sessions, and several target keywords moved to the first page of Google. PBJ Marketing was organized, kept the client in the loop, and ensured they understood the progress.
BACKGROUND
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I'm a realtor and property strategist at a small real estate firm. We help clients buy, sell, and invest in residential properties across Indiana.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
What challenge were you trying to address with PBJ Marketing?
We needed to increase visibility through PPC and targeted ads.
SOLUTION
What was the scope of their involvement?
PBJ Marketing managed our entire digital marketing strategy, focusing on both paid and organic growth. They took over our Google Ads account, restructured campaigns to target more qualified local leads, and continuously monitored performance to improve results. On the SEO side, they audited our website, optimized existing pages, added new content where needed, and worked on improving our local search presence. They also provided regular reports that helped us clearly understand what was working and where we could improve. Everything was aligned with the goals of our real estate business and handled with care and attention.
What is the team composition?
We worked with two teammates from PBJ Marketing.
How did you come to work with PBJ Marketing?
We found PBJ Marketing through Clutch. We chose them because they were honest, easy to talk to, and clearly focused on getting real results over just selling services.
What is the status of this engagement?
Our project with PBJ Marketing began in August 2024 and concluded in June 2025.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
Our visibility in local search results also improved significantly, with many of our key pages moving up in rankings. On the paid media side, PBJ helped us lower our cost per lead while improving the overall quality of traffic. We were able to track this progress through the detailed reports they provided each month, which made it easy to understand where the improvements were happening and how they tied back to our business goals. Overall, their work had a clear and positive impact on our marketing performance.
We saw about a 30% increase in qualified leads over the course of the project, which meant more serious inquiries and less time wasted on unfit prospects. Our website traffic grew steadily, with a 25% improvement in organic search sessions. Several of our target keywords moved from the second or third page of Google to the first page, and our Google Ads campaigns began converting at a rate nearly 20% higher than before. These changes had a real impact on our ability to connect with the right clients.
How did PBJ Marketing perform from a project management standpoint?
One of the only challenges we faced was during the early stages when we were aligning our goals and getting clear on priorities. It took a few strategy calls to ensure everyone was on the same page, but once that was settled, the workflow became smooth. There were also a few times when updates took a little longer than expected, likely due to their team juggling multiple projects, but they always followed through and communicated honestly. Overall, any bumps were minor and quickly addressed.
PBJ Marketing was organized, kept us in the loop with regular updates, and always made sure we understood the progress being made. Most deliverables were completed on time, and when timelines shifted slightly, they let us know right away. They were responsive to our questions and adjusted quickly whenever we had feedback or needed to change direction. We communicated via Zoom calls and emails.
What did you find most impressive about them?
What we appreciated most was how approachable and honest the team was. They took the time to explain things clearly, listened to our needs, and never made us feel like just another account. Their mix of professionalism, responsiveness, and real results made them stand out. It truly felt like we were working with a partner who cared about our success.
What stood out most was how personal and thoughtful their approach felt. They didn’t just apply a one-size-fits-all strategy—they really dug into our business, audience, and goals. That level of care made a big difference. It felt like they were just as invested in our success as we were.
Are there any areas they could improve?
If there’s one area for improvement, it might be faster turnaround times during busy periods. There were moments when responses or updates took a bit longer than expected. That said, they always communicated openly and followed through, so it never became a major issue.
The only thing that could have been better was a slightly quicker turnaround during busy stretches. A few updates took longer than expected, but they always communicated clearly and made sure nothing fell through the cracks. Overall, they handled everything with care and professionalism.

PBJ Marketing helped the client improve their online presence, resulting in increased traffic, higher search rankings, and better leads. The team was professional, communicative, and responsive. The team listened well and tailored their approach to meet the client's specific needs and goals.
BACKGROUND
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I’m the sales and marketing manager at an industrial machinery manufacturer. We design and manufacture industrial machinery for clients in construction, agriculture, and logistics.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
What challenge were you trying to address with PBJ Marketing?
We wanted to improve our online visibility and bring in more qualified leads. Our main goals were to show up better in search results, run paid ads that actually reached the right people, and make our website easier for potential customers to use. We weren’t getting much traction online before, so we needed someone to help us fix that.
SOLUTION
What was the scope of their involvement?
PBJ Marketing handled a mix of SEO, paid advertising, and website improvements for us. They started with a full audit of our site, cleaned up technical issues, and reorganized some of the content to make it more user-friendly. On the SEO side, they worked on keyword targeting, updated metadata, and helped us write better copy for a few key pages. For paid media, they set up and managed Google Ads campaigns focused on our core industrial products. They also gave us regular reports and check-ins to keep us updated on performance.
What is the team composition?
We worked with two teammates from PBJ Marketing.
How did you come to work with PBJ Marketing?
We found them on Clutch. We talked to a few agencies, but PBJ Marketing stood out right away. They didn’t give us a generic sales pitch or try to impress us with flashy buzzwords.

It felt like they were focused on finding the right solution for us, not just closing a deal.
What is the status of this engagement?
We worked together from October 2024–May 2025.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
After PBJ Marketing came in, we saw a steady increase in traffic to our site, especially from the kinds of searches that actually matter to our business. Our site started ranking higher for a few key terms in our industry, and we noticed more people filling out our contact form. The leads were better too — people who were actually interested in what we make, not just random traffic. It definitely felt like a step up from where we were before.
Our website traffic increased by around 15 percent. We also saw about a 20 percent bump in contact form submissions. A couple of those leads turned into solid business opportunities, which was a noticeable improvement for us.
Nothing major, but there were a couple of small delays early on with getting some of the deliverables. That said, the team kept us in the loop, explained what was going on, and made up for it without us having to chase them. Overall, they were easy to work with and responsive when we needed them.
Overall, we were really happy with the work PBJ Marketing did. They were professional without being pushy, and they actually got us results. The team was easy to talk to, kept us in the loop, and made sure everything stayed on track. It’s rare to find a marketing partner that understands what you need and follows through. PBJ Marketing did both.
How did PBJ Marketing perform from a project management standpoint?
PBJ Marketing’s project management was solid. They kept things organized, responded quickly when we had questions, and were easy to get in touch with. There were a few small delays early on, but they communicated well, mostly through video calls, email, and Zoom calls, and made sure everything got back on track without any issues.
What was your primary form of communication with PBJ Marketing?
Virtual Meeting
Email or Messaging App
What did you find most impressive about them?
What stood out most was how well they listened. They didn’t just throw a one-size-fits-all plan at us. They took the time to understand our business and goals and came back with a plan that actually made sense for us. It felt like they were genuinely invested in helping us succeed.
Are there any areas they could improve?
The only thing that comes to mind is that it would have been nice to get more proactive updates without us having to ask. That said, whenever we did reach out, they responded quickly and got us the info we needed.

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.
PBJ helped us clean up our Google Ads account which was honestly a mess when we started. They built out new campaigns, rewrote all the ad copy, and split things into proper keyword groups so we could finally track what was working. They also set up conversion tracking and gave us a weekly snapshot that was actually easy to understand. Everything felt way more dialed in after the first month. We also worked with them on testing landing pages and adjusting budgets based on what actually drove leads. Felt like they were paying attention instead of just letting things run on autopilot.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?
Our cost per lead dropped by half within the first two months which honestly blew us away. We’d been throwing money at ads before without really knowing what was working. After PBJ stepped in, we started getting more form fills from actual prospects, not just junk clicks. They also helped us track the numbers better so we could see exactly what was bringing in results. By the end of the run we were seeing a 3x return compared to where we started. We didn’t have to keep following up or asking for updates either. They were super proactive and made sure nothing slipped through the cracks.
Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?
Super responsive from day one. We always got answers fast and they never made us feel like we were being a bother. Every task or update we asked for got done without dragging things out. They stuck to the timeline and were clear about what was coming next which made the whole process feel smooth. No chasing, no waiting around. Just solid communication and follow-through the whole way. Even when we asked for last-minute changes or extra tweaks, they handled it without making excuses or pushing things off. Felt like they genuinely cared about getting it right.
What was your primary form of communication with PBJ Marketing?
Virtual Meeting
Email or Messaging App
What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?
They actually listened. Like really listened. A lot of agencies jump straight into their process without hearing you out, but PBJ took time to understand our business before touching anything. The other thing that stood out was how transparent they were. We always knew where the money was going and what we were getting back. No smoke, no mirrors. Just solid work and real numbers. Made it feel more like a partnership than just another vendor relationship.
Are there any areas for improvement or something PBJ Marketing could have done differently?
Only thing I’d say is maybe a little more heads-up when they’re testing something new. There were a couple changes that rolled out and we didn’t realize until after. Nothing went sideways, just would’ve been nice to be looped in right before instead of right after. Not a big deal, but it’s the kind of thing that makes communication feel extra tight.

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.
PBJ handled both our PPC and SEO efforts. They started by cleaning up our Google Ads campaigns which were kind of all over the place before. They helped cut down wasted spend and focused the ads on the right audience. On the SEO side, they audited our site, fixed technical issues, and worked with us on creating better content around the stuff our customers actually search for. They also gave us regular updates and made sure we knew what was going on the whole way through.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?
Our cost per lead dropped by almost half within the first couple months. We started seeing more qualified leads come in and way fewer junk clicks. Organic traffic also picked up steadily and a few of our key pages started showing up on page one, which hadn’t happened before. The difference in results was noticeable and honestly way better than what we were getting before.
Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?
They were super organized and kept things moving without needing to be chased. If something was running behind or needed adjusting, they were upfront about it and always quick to respond. We never had to guess where things stood or wait days for an answer. It felt like they actually cared about getting things done right and on time, not just checking off boxes.
What was your primary form of communication with PBJ Marketing?
Virtual Meeting
Email or Messaging App
What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?
They didn’t just throw generic strategies at us. They actually took the time to understand our industry and what made our buyers tick, which is rare. It never felt like we were getting a copy-paste game plan. Plus, their team was super easy to talk to. You could throw out an idea or concern and they’d jump on it without any drama.
Are there any areas for improvement or something PBJ Marketing could have done differently?
Not much honestly. If anything, maybe a little more guidance upfront on how long SEO really takes to build momentum. It’s not a knock on them because they did explain it, but we didn’t fully get it until a couple months in. A little more hand holding at the start might have helped.

They also provided regular reports and were great at walking us through what was working, what wasn’t, and what they were testing next.

Since working with PBJ, we’ve seen about a 25% increase in organic traffic and steady improvement in our keyword rankings, especially for category and product-level searches. Our Google Ads campaigns are more efficient now, with conversion rates improving by around 18% and our cost-per-click slightly reduced. Overall, we’re seeing better traffic quality and stronger returns on our ad spend.

PBJ’s project management was solid throughout. They were organized, communicative, and always met the timelines we agreed on.
