Smarty Media

Based in Chicago, Illinois, at 750 North Orleans, Smarty Media has operated since 2009 as a pay-per-click agency with a team of Google Certified PPC managers. The company works with two main types of clients: businesses with sales teams seeking lead generation, and ecommerce operations such as web stores and hotels focused on revenue generation. It positions itself around a "no bullshit" approach, emphasizing transparent performance data and straightforward communication with clients. Core services center on paid search advertising across Google, Bing and Yahoo, targeting users actively searching for particular products or services. Additional offerings include display and banner advertising placed across third-party websites, remarketing and retargeting campaigns aimed at past site visitors, and Facebook advertising targeted to desktop and mobile users. Smarty Media also provides conversion rate optimization to improve results from existing traffic and ad spend, along with PPC audits and consulting for clients who need account reviews or ongoing advisory support. Commercially, the agency operates on month-to-month agreements rather than long-term contracts, and offers a 30-day money-back guarantee from account launch. Reporting is described as real-time, and pricing is presented as simple and disclosed upfront. Beyond PPC, the agency's declared service list also includes SEO, conversion optimization, advertising, social media marketing, UX/UI design, branding and public relations, though the website content itself focuses primarily on PPC-related work.
