Concrete public pricing was found on G2 for the exact company Digital Drew / Digital Drew SEM tied to digitaldrewsem.com: PPC starts at $750/month, social media marketing at $800/month, and SEO and design/development at $1,000/month. On Digital Drew SEM’s own website, the agency says pricing is custom, not cookie-cutter, and its contact form asks prospects to choose an estimated budget band of $1,000-$2,000, $3,000-$5,000, $5,000-$10,000, or $10,000+, which supports a retainer-led custom quote model rather than self-serve checkout pricing. Directory figures from Clutch (min project size $1,000+, hourly rate $50-$99/hr) are directory-reported bands, not necessarily prices published directly by the agency.

Process

How Digital Drew SEM actually works, reconstructed from customer reviews and third-party write-ups.

A typical Digital Drew SEM engagement appears to start with a consultation and account review, then move into strategy and setup or rebuild of campaigns, followed by active management with frequent communication and recurring performance reporting. Clients repeatedly describe hands-on execution, use of tools like Slack and Trello, approval on items like keyword and ad copy, and ongoing strategy discussions tied to business results.

  1. 1

    Book a consultation and define goals

    Engagements appear to begin with a consultation or strategy call where the client explains business goals and pain points. Reviews say clients were advised to be clear about end goals, and the company site prominently funnels prospects into a free consultation.

  2. 2

    Audit current accounts and identify fixes

    Before changing campaigns, Digital Drew SEM appears to review existing ad accounts, analytics, and digital profiles to spot wasted spend, targeting problems, reporting gaps, and tracking issues. Clients mention the team reviewing Google Ads, website and analytics issues, and the company site explicitly describes audit-plus-rebuild work.

  3. 3

    Build the plan and get approval

    After diagnosis, the team develops a tailored plan covering channels, audiences, keywords, reporting improvements, and campaign structure. Evidence from Clutch package text says they start with SEMrush keyword research, send proposed keywords for review, and then write ad copy for client approval.

  4. 4

    Launch or rebuild campaigns and related assets

    Next, Digital Drew SEM implements the work: creating or restructuring Google Ads and paid social campaigns, improving audience profiles, and in some cases updating website content or SEO. Customer reviews describe strategy-to-implementation support, creation of new Google Ads campaigns, and setup or monitoring of Google and Meta ads.

  5. 5

    Manage execution through direct communication

    Once campaigns are live, work is managed through ongoing communication and task tracking rather than a one-time handoff. Clutch reviews specifically mention Slack, Trello, virtual meetings, timely deliverables, and an assigned team that keeps clients informed as work progresses.

  6. 6

    Report results and refine the strategy

    The ongoing service includes regular reporting and review calls, then adjustments based on performance. Reviews mention weekly or monthly reports, monthly strategy calls, and reporting on ad spend, profit, keyword rankings, conversions, and other business-facing outcomes rather than just vanity metrics.
