Why we exist
It started with a problem I kept watching agencies hit.
I spent 15 years running paid search, on both the agency side and the brand side, for names like Best Buy, Digital River, HealthPartners, and space150. I managed programs from a few thousand dollars a month up to $1.6MM/month. I saw what great execution looks like, and what happens when there isn't enough of it.
Then COVID broke the talent market. Senior paid-search people got scarce, expensive, and hard to keep. Agencies were stuck: too much work, not enough senior hands, and hiring a full-timer meant months of ramp and a big bet that might not pan out.
ClickCo is that bench: senior, US-based Google Ads specialists agencies can plug into when they need more throughput, without adding headcount, management overhead, or a long-term commitment. We work in your tools, under your brand, and (if you want) completely out of sight of your clients.
We're not a staffing agency, and we're not a traditional white-label shop offshoring your work to juniors. We're the senior execution partner I wish I'd had when I was the one back in the accounts at 11pm.
