What to look for
- Ask how they measure incrementality, not just platform ROAS.
- Ask who supplies creative and how fast new ads reach the account.
- Confirm you own the ad accounts and data.
- Ask how the team plans around New England seasonality, such as the academic calendar and winter demand shifts.
- If you sell locally in Boston, ask how they handle geo-targeting and whether they report results for Boston separately.
How we picked
Each agency has a published Growth Partner Confidence Score and an official source documenting paid social work, linked on its card. For this page, each agency has a documented paid social offer or case on platforms such as Meta and TikTok. Agencies with a Boston-area office are labelled; the others are listed as remote options from their US location (or documented US campaigns) and client work, an editorial suitability judgement rather than a verified remote-service promise. Scores were not changed for this page, and results quoted from agency sources are self-reported.
