About Blastoff Labs
We are a dedicated, in-office ad team that specializes in serving clients with unique requirements and PPC projects that demand focused attention. Unlike larger agencies, we prioritize detail and quality and avoid outsourcing campaigns, ensuring that Blastoff Labs remains fully committed to our clients' ad projects.
Our journey began after two decades of firsthand experience as agency clients ourselves. Having worked with various digital agencies, contractors, and consultants, we gained valuable insights into the needs and expectations of clients. These experiences led us to develop innovative project management approaches and tailor our business processes around our clients' specific requirements. As a result, we have a high client retention and referal rate from our 7 years serving other businesses.

Invaluable Knowledge & Killer Ad Campaign

He restructured our campaigns to utilize a combination of Google PMax and Shopping, and completed a precision optimization of our Shopping feed. He also brought our campaigns onto Microsoft Ads to reach more consumers.
I place my faith in Steve and his ability to help our brand flourish!

Blastoff Labs Has My Highest Recommendation
I’ve partnered with Blastoff for over a year now. They are head and shoulders above anyone I’ve worked with before in the digital marketing/ppc space.
Steve is also quite knowledgable in general, and can point you in the right direction on many lateral areas of expertise. He doesn’t shrink away from problems and challenges, but attacks them like a saber-toothed cat. I feel very fortunate to have Steve in my circle. If you’re considering working with Steve and Blastoff labs, they come with my highest recommendation.
