At Clutch, we believe trust is the foundation of every business relationship. Our mission is to help buyers make confident, data-backed decisions informed by real client experiences.
Every review on Clutch undergoes a rigorous, human-led verification process to make sure it’s valid. Our team of specialists confirms the identity of each reviewer, ensures the project is legitimate, and only publishes reviews that meet our strict criteria.
Verification doesn’t stop at the point of publication. Our Trust & Safety team routinely audits older reviews against our guidelines. When reviews fall short of our standards, we remove them.
We evaluate service providers using a structured methodology that combines:
- In-depth client interviews and ratings
- Comprehensive project details
- Market presence
- Portfolio examples and industry recognition
This data powers tools like the Leaders Matrix, which helps you compare agencies directly. Our research team curates rankings by weighing verified reviews most heavily, so the most trusted and experienced providers rise to the top.
Using this unique combination of verified client feedback and provider-supplied insights, Clutch distills the most important details into clear, digestible summaries so you have everything you need to make confident, informed decisions quickly.
We take fraud seriously. Providers who violate our guidelines may face lower rankings, restricted visibility, or removal from the platform altogether.
Clutch’s commitment to transparency is ongoing. We’re constantly refining our systems to protect the integrity of reviews and support you in finding the right agency.

What Meta's Andromeda Update Means for Businesses in 2026
Explore how Meta’s Andromeda update will impact businesses. Let’s break down what’s new and how to build a clear action plan to scale profitability.
United States Facebook Advertising FAQs
• Cultural alignment: US agencies understand national holidays, slang, and purchasing habits that influence ad performance.
• Access to Meta reps: Top-tier partners often get beta features and faster support.
• Compliance: Domestic firms stay current on FTC guidelines, CCPA, and state-specific privacy laws.
• Time-zone convenience: Real-time Slack or Zoom check-ins keep optimizations nimble, especially during high-spend windows like Black Friday.
Budgets range widely due to several variables, including creative requirements, project scope, and timeline. However, based on Clutch pricing data, clients can expect:
- Small businesses: $2,000 – $5,000 per month in media spend with 15% – 20% management fees.
- Mid-market brands: $10,000 – $50,000 monthly, often on a sliding fee or flat retainer.
- Enterprise: Six-figure monthly spends with blended agency fees or performance bonuses.
One-time audits usually start around $1,500, while fully managed launches often bundle strategy, creative, and testing into a three-month sprint.
Facebook’s broad reach supports nearly every sector, but US-based agencies frequently focus on markets such as:
- DTC ecommerce (fashion, beauty, CPG)
- SaaS and fintech
- Healthcare and wellness (HIPAA-compliant remarketing)
- B2B manufacturing and industrial lead gen
- Non-profits and higher education fundraising
Specialized vertical knowledge can shorten onboarding and improve creative resonance. When searching for the ideal team, ensure they have strong portfolios or case studies working with clients in similar sectors or project types.
- Define the unique goals and requirements of your project—whether it’s ROAS, lead volume, or market expansion.
- Review relevant case studies and client reviews on Clutch for similar budgets and KPIs.
- Ask about their testing cadence and creative pipeline to ensure alignment.
- Confirm access to real-time dashboards and clear attribution models.
- Interview at least two agencies to compare strategic approaches and communication style.
Clutch makes it easier to match with the ideal service provider. Browse through our collection of thought industry resources, client reviews, and directories to make an informed agency choice.
- Guaranteed ROAS without auditing your funnel
- No mention of first-party data strategy post-iOS 14.5
- Opaque fee structures or bundled media spend
- Limited creative iterations (scaling in the US market usually demands fresh ads weekly)
- Reliance on vanity metrics—look for revenue or qualified leads, not just impressions
