Most agencies dazzle you with a pitch, then hand your account to a junior team. At PICO, we stay boutique by choice. We are intentionally selective, ensuring you work exclusively with senior specialists. Every account is led by an owner who has been in the trenches since the "Google Garage" era—veterans personally accountable for your success.
The PICO Framework: We don't just "run campaigns"; we conduct rigorous growth experiments. Adapted from scientific research models, our PICO Framework eliminates guesswork:
P (Problem): We diagnose the friction. Whether it's budget bleed or poor lead quality, we find the root cause, not just the symptoms.
I (Intervention): We define the tactical shift required to disrupt your current plateau and push boundaries.
C (Comparison): No "gut feelings." We run 90-day testing cadences, measuring interventions against historical baselines to prove statistical significance before scaling.
O (Outcome): We scale the winners, bank the learnings, and repeat.
Battle-Tested Strategy: Real expertise is hard-won through nearly thirty years of navigating market volatility. We turn those decades of "scars" into proven logic for identifying and mitigating budget bleed—the friction points where your spend isn't reaching its potential.
Aligned Incentives: The Flat-Rate Model. We treat your budget with the same respect we’d treat our own:
Flat-Rate Pricing: Our fee is decoupled from your ad spend. Our priority is your performance—not how much of your budget we can spend.
Total Ownership: You pay ad platforms directly and own 100% of your accounts. No "black boxes" and no data hostages.
Full-Funnel Visibility: We track the entire journey from the first impression to the closed deal. Every dollar must work toward a tangible result.
Ready for an agency that acts as a true extension of your business? Let’s get to work.

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.
Working with Pico has been an exceptional experience from start to finish. Their attention to detail, thoughtfulness, and genuine care for our account were night and day compared to the previous agencies we’ve worked with. The Pico team took the time to deeply understand our business, our niche target market, and the nuances of the specific customers we’re trying to reach.
They managed our Google Ad account, helped us expand to Meta and LinkedIn, refined our target audience, and provided ongoing support and testing to ensure we could continually improve our performance. They felt like an extension of our team, which I truly appreciated.
Pico helped us better align our campaigns to our ideal customer profile and delivered a structured, thoughtful approach to scaling spend responsibly. My company operates in a highly specialized industry with a very specific buyer persona, and they've helped us target the right audiences across platforms — not just drive low-quality leads/noise.
Over the past year, we more than doubled our ad spend and increased sales-qualified leads in proportion. We’ve been extremely pleased with the partnership. My company was finally at a stage where we could bring someone in-house, but I couldn't be more grateful to have found and worked alongside the Pico team. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable agency that can provide immediate impact.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?
We were able to double our monthly ad spend and see that translate into more sales-qualified leads.
Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?
The Pico team consistently delivered their action items on time and were very responsive to any questions or concerns. They acted like an extension of our team, so the relationship felt very collaborative, and they were always aligned with trying to help us grow our account.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?
The level of care and attention to detail was second to none. Working with Samantha personally was a great experience.
Are there any areas for improvement or something Pico Digital Marketing could have done differently?

The client submitted this review online.
BACKGROUND
Please describe your company and your position there.
I am the Vice President of Global Marketing for InfinityQS. A 30+ year old company, InfinityQS provides data analytics software that manufacturers use on their production floors to ensure and improve the quality of their products—and to continuously optimize their manufacturing processes. We support manufactures—including Fortune 50 companies—around the world.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
For what projects/services did your company hire Pico Digital Marketing, and what were your goals?
I was brought into InfinityQS to develop an aggressive, advanced, full-service marketing department that would accelerate sales and lead the launch of a new product. I needed a dynamite digital marketing agency that would provide the strategic guidance and tactical execution to help us rapidly build, maintain, and continually optimize an aggressive digital marketing program that would anchor our lead generation effort.
SOLUTION
How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?
We were looking for an agency that would help us specifically with SEO, PPC, display advertising, and social advertising (LinkedIn) —plus who had outstanding analytical skills to ensure we were maximizing our spend. I asked for recommendations from another agency I was using to develop our new website for recommendations, and Pico Digital was one of several agencies recommended. After one call with Samantha Bedford at Pico, I knew I had found the partner of my dreams.
Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and marking tools used.
Pico is an extremely data-driven organization. They conducted a full analysis of our market’s keywords and themes to help identify areas to determine where to focus resources. Pico evaluated existing content and then guided a total refresh of that material—as well as the development of new content—to boost keyword strength. Pico constantly tested and iterated to rapidly optimize our site and paid program. Their relationship with LinkedIn enabled us to participate in several successful beta programs, giving us the jump on our competition. Because of our initial success with, we’ve continued with Pico to continue driving our digital marketing activities.
How many resources from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?
We work primarily with Samantha Bedford, the Founder & CEO, for paid digital (e.g., PPC, display, and LinkedIn) and a Senior Director for SEO.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?
We experienced a series of dramatic benefits as a result of Pico’s SEO guidance during the redesign of our corporate website, including:
Site conversion rate increased by 27%
Total site visits increased by 126%
Time on site increased by 18%
Organic traffic increased 60% year-over-year
Mobile conversions increased by 35%
Cost of paid conversions dropped by 56%
Our joint efforts earned InfinityQS and Pico Digital a range of industry accolades, including:
2017 - ITSMA Diamond Award for Marketing Excellence
2018 - ANA B2 Award of Excellence for Search Advertising
2021 - AVA Digital Platinum Award for Integrated Digital Marketing Campaign
How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?
I hold monthly meetings with the Pico team, while members of my staff meet with them weekly, and daily as needed. They are seemingly available to assist InfinityQS 24/7.
What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?
For over four years, Pico has provided us straightforward trusted guidance. They possess a range of skills that have helped us evolve from nothing into an industry-leading Marketing program—complete with effective ABM campaigns.
Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?
None. Pico Digital Marketing is an awesome partner!

We hired Pico originally for paid search advertising management. We were not happy with our previous agency's success, so we transferred the account to Pico.
SOLUTION

We selected Pico based on their expertise in search advertising (vs. a full-service agency that handles all media channels). We were impressed by their previous results and their communication/client service approach.

Initially, Pico handled our paid search advertising (both Google and Bing) but we eventually added YouTube and Google Display to our scope. We've seen incredible results across the board.
How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?
We've always worked closely with the Founder/CEO, who initially was also our account lead. Over time we've worked with a few others. Our current lead is the Paid Media Manager.

Our metrics for all three channels are consistently at least twice as high as industry average.

They are excellent communicators. We generally communicate via email, but we also have a monthly call to review prior month results. Every email I send is responded to within a day, and often within an hour or so.

They're a small agency, but they are incredibly talented and knowledgable when it comes to Google Ads. They're also really great to work with.
Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?

BACKGROUND
Please describe your company and your position there.
I am the CEO & CoOwner of a tour operator in Boulder, CO. We specialize in unique and authentic custom travel to Asia and the Pacific. We have been in business for over 33 years and are constantly needing to stay on top of our digital space, advertising, and other outreach which PICO has helped guides us with over the past 4 years.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
For what projects/services did your company hire Pico Digital Marketing?
We needed high level but approachable direction and service in the SEO/PPC digital space. We contracted with PICO to work with us in this area and to navigate and make suggestions to how we could best poise our company. They also work with our marketing contract to ensure that all the points are communicating and any changes needed are launched to best represent our company.
What were your goals for this project?
Our goals have been to better understand SEO/PPC and how these efforts affect and interact with the rest of our analytics. To ensure that our company is always at the top of our game and while utilizing our resources in the best possible way.
SOLUTION
How did you select this vendor?
PICO was referred to us and after consultation and interviewing with Samantha and her team, we felt that they could do the best job for us and also with a symbiotic approach to best representation and personal touch. They understood quickly what we do, what we need and have been guiding us ever since.
Describe the project in detail.
We first met with PICO and the team to understand scope of services and to map out a strategy for our company in tandem with the rest of our marketing strategy and campaigns.
We have since been fine tuning, tweaking, trying new approaches and understanding the quickly changing digital space and how it affects our business and how to take advantage of the tools. PICO has been our consult and 'sage' with all things digital in the SEO/PPC arena.
What was the team composition?
We have a small team made up of myself, our marketing firm and PICO's team, a great handful of bright women who have been excellent at communicating with us and working with us to adjust to our needs.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?
We have been very happy with PICO's approach, services, and feedback analysis on our efforts. We have already referred them to other community business associates.
How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?
Very effective, which is one reason we initially were attracted to PICO and their services. They're always approachable and are willing to explain the technique and rationale. We have always felt very personal cared for when working with PICO.
What did you find most impressive about this company?
How smart, confident, and organized they are!
Are there any areas for improvement?
The only area I would suggest for improvement is trying to get more face time with them. I know we are all very busy and no one wants 'more meetings' but its invaluable touching base in person whenever you can. This is not faulting anyone, its just that we have been really busy and now with limitations on personal meetings.

BACKGROUND
Please describe your company and your position there.
I am the creative director for the marketing, branding, advertising company that does work for Hair Sciences Center of Colorado, a hair transplant company.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
For what projects/services did your company hire Pico Digital Marketing?
We hired Pico to do strategy and implementation for paid search, google ads and SEO.
What were your goals for this project?
To increase traffic to the website. To ultimately increase patients to the clinic.
SOLUTION
How did you select this vendor?
Referred to them from another company who uses their services.
Describe the project in detail.
Hair Sciences Center relies heavily on people finding them via search. Jim Harris is a world renowned expert in the field. When google did a major update to their algorithm, we saw that our rankings were tanking. We decided to search out a new team. We feel that Pico saved us! They took on the project and quickly turned us back around. So grateful to be working with them. They are so knowledgeable.
What was the team composition?
We have a dedicated SEO person, a dedicated analytics, paid search and social person, and the owner of the company sometimes joins in.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?
Each month, we are increasing traffic and more calls to the clinic, along with consultations. Pico keeps amazing us on their results and the clinic sees the difference from the previous team we had working on the project.
How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?
Our teams work really well together. We all do our pieces, and collaborate. Pico is so quick to respond and tells us exactly what we need to do so that we can work together for results. They are data driven which lets us know where we are and where we need to go to improve our online presence. And, when they can do something for us, they take it upon themselves to take work off our plate and implement.
What did you find most impressive about this company?
They are just so smart and strategically-driven and look at the big picture and connect the dots for results. They are also so responsive, they never leave us hanging and so quick to respond to any issues. They are a roll-up-your-sleeves type of group. We are a lean team for this client so anything they do is a huge help for us.
Are there any areas for improvement?
Maybe they need to grow staff and expand their offerings because they have an amazing team. We are so happy to have them as a partner, really have no complaints.

The client submitted this review online.
BACKGROUND
Please describe your company and your position there.
We're an event marketing software and I'm the Demand Generation Manager.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Not looking to share specifics for this.
How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?
The vendor is quick to respond, but our workflow could be a bit cleaner if we worked through a shared tool beyond just google sheets. It's helpful to have a tool like basecamp or at least a google drive where we can pass info back and forth and have a clear task list/due dates managed with visibility.

They're really knowledgable about the industry and able to extend our productivity even when we aren't able to be as responsive as we should be.
Are there any areas for improvement?
Better way to align on current/upcoming priorities/notes in a consolidated place. I'm looking for them to PM it a bit more than through email.

What Sets Us Apart
Logic-Driven Audits, Not Guesswork
Marketing isn’t a straight line, and "set and forget" is a myth. We apply 20+ years of stress-tested insights to identify budget bleed upfront. Through weekly cycles of testing and proactive pivoting, we find the "why" behind your data and fix friction points before you even open our report.
Flat-Rate Fees vs. Percentage of Spend
We’ve eliminated the conflict of interest in which agencies profit from spending more of your money. Our flat-rate model ensures our priority is your performance, not your budget size. You pay ad spend directly and retain 100% account ownership. No "black boxes" and no data hostages.
Senior Specialists, Not Junior Hand-offs
Most agencies pitch with veterans and deliver with juniors. At Pico, you work exclusively with senior experts who’ve been in the trenches since the "Google Garage" days. Every account is led by an owner personally accountable for your results—no hand-offs, no "learning on your dime."
Clutch verification provides an additional layer of data to help you make the right purchasing decision of business services.
