Lena RiveraRunning a business in San Antonio taught me quickly that advertising here has its own personality. This city isn’t just big—it’s lively, competitive, and full of brands trying to grab attention.
So when I launched my first DIY ad campaign, it was a complete disaster. I’m pretty sure the only person who clicked on it was me… and that was just to check if the link still worked. Twice.
But that embarrassing little experiment turned out to be the best thing that happened. It pushed me to start looking for the best advertising agencies. So if you’re ready for marketing that actually works, here are the top advertising agencies in San Antonio worth your attention.
How much do advertising agencies charge in San Antonio?
Advertising agencies in San Antonio typically charge $500–$5,000+ per month or 15–35% of your ad spend, depending on campaign size, services, and agency experience. Additional fees may apply for complex projects.
1. Funnel Boost Media
Address: 3201 Cherry Ridge Dr # 200, 78230
Contact Details: (210) 880-1902
Operating Hours:
- Monday to Saturday – 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM
- Sunday- Closed
Funnel Boost Media has been in operation since 2012. Their service is focused on local San Antonio digital marketing, combining 100% white-hat SEO practices and PPC to drive high-quality leads and phone calls.
I also found their website design philosophy refreshing. Instead of simply creating “pretty” websites, they focus on building sites optimized for SEO, lightning-fast performance, and real conversions. These show their deep understanding of business needs.
Another detail that impressed me was their HIPAA-compliant marketing for healthcare organizations and treatment centers. I haven’t seen many agencies handle such specialized niches with this level of professionalism.
However, while their digital marketing services are exceptional, it’s a bit disappointing that they don’t offer traditional advertising such as print, TV, or radio. If you’re searching for a broader multi-channel strategy, this might be a limitation.
Incredibly knowledgeable and professional
“I highly recommend Funnel Boost Media, and specifically want to give a massive shout-out to Kyle B. Our experience with him has been truly amazing. He is incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and has provided excellent guidance throughout the process of building our new website. Kyle B. has taken the time to thoroughly understand our business and goals, and his communication has been top-notch. While the website project is still in progress and not yet complete, the quality of service we’ve received gives us full confidence that the final product will be outstanding. We are looking forward to the launch!”

2. Sharkmatic Advertising
Address: 437 McCarty Rd, Suite C, 78216
Contact Details: (210) 375-0000
Operating Hours:
- Monday to Friday – 9:30 AM to 8:00 PM
- Saturday to Sunday – Closed
I worked with Sharkmatic Advertising and was impressed with how they build performance-focused websites that actually generate leads and tell your brand’s story.
They also handle web hosting and maintenance, including security updates and plugin management.
Talking with their team about SEO reassured me. They focus on real human management over automated tactics. As a matter of fact, they walked me through keyword research, on-page optimization, and local SEO strategies.
Their graphic design and branding stood out too. I met with their designer, who made sure our visuals aligned with our identity.
I also like their video production, from long-form to social clips. Storytelling is clearly a priority, not just visuals.
Their email marketing services are also impressive. Having strategy, design, and messaging handled in one place made my campaigns cohesive and professional.
The only thing to keep in mind is that Sharkmatic is a relatively small team. As a result, very large campaigns may require additional resources.
Makes a huge difference in businesses
“Superior Water Softeners is a San Antonio based company that I started in 2007. We have used other marketing companies over the years, with little to no success in helping increase our bottom line. We are thrilled to be working with Sharkmatic Advertising on our website upgrades, search engine optimization and internet listings all designed to get us more exposure to prospects and improving our company revenue. Working with a local marketing vendor makes a huge difference, especially one with more than 30 years in the industry. Thank you to the Sharkmatic staff for your expert guidance and excellent attention to detail.”

Saved us so much money
“As a doctor and partner at Purpose Chiropractic, I know how important it is to have effective marketing that potential patients can find online when searching the internet. We started working with Sharkmatic Advertising and noticed more traffic to our website and definitely more calls from people saying they found us on Google. Hiring Sharkmatic to do our web listings and Search Engine Optimization saves us so much money in not having to do pay-per-click. They have an in-house team that works to help us grow our business and our online presence. Sharkmatic is our go-to digital marketing agency.”

3. FOG Digital Marketing
Address: 2822 N Loop 1604 W Ste 109, 78248
Contact Details: (726) 224-4920
Operating Hours:
- Open 24 hours daily
At FOG Digital Marketing, I appreciate that they really go the extra mile with SEO by assigning a dedicated Digital Strategy Consultant to each client. Rather than running generic campaigns, their strategies are tailored to align with your specific business goals.
Their work on Google Business Profiles impressed me too. They don’t just fill out the basics, but they also optimize photos, reviews, and local “pack” exposure. All these really help visibility and drive calls and messages.
I also got a firsthand look at their Conversion Rate Optimization approach. Their tweaks to site layout, CTAs, and user flow genuinely turn visitors into leads, not just clicks. It’s particularly effective for service-based businesses, B2B, construction companies, and other local San Antonio companies.
The detailed progress meetings and in-depth analysis are excellent for transparency. Just note that for a small business with limited time, it might feel like more than you need.
But there’s also a tradeoff to this thorough approach. Many clients mentioned that reaching out to or booking an appointment with the company can be difficult.
Take the time and listen to what the client is asking
“Fernando and his team are wonderful! They go above and beyond to take the time and listen to what the client is asking for and desired results wanted and then…..Nail it! The websites are clean and easy to navigate. Would definitely recommend FOG to anyone that needs website help!”
– Jason Ingram, Google Review
Very knowledgeable and friendly
“Consulted with Fernando and his team for a website. They are very knowledgeable and friendly with their service. We had them do SEO for our company and noticed significant results, mostly on the quality of leads we got. If you are looking for a company that will boost your social presence we highly recommend them!”

Contact Details: (210) 320-0230
Operating Hours:

- Saturday to Sunday – Closed
Creative Noggin really impressed me with their approach to branding. They focus on making brands truly connect with their audience. Their process includes in-depth research, positioning, and storytelling, all designed to make a lasting impression.
Their creative services also stood out. From graphic design and video production to photography and content creation, everything is custom-made to support campaigns, whether social media or ads.
One client mentioned how a recent video campaign exceeded engagement goals, which really caught my attention.
When it comes to digital advertising, they manage PPC, social media ads, and SEM with a clear focus on results. They work hard to optimize ad spend and ensure you’re getting quality leads, not just clicks.
Talking to their team, it’s clear they’re all about ROI. However, some clients mentioned that pricing can be a bit unclear. If you’re a small business with a limited budget, it might be tricky to get an exact cost breakdown up front.
Team with a wealth of knowledge and experience
“I’ve had the pleasure of partnering with Creative Noggin since 2017 and it’s been a wonderful experience! The team has a wealth of knowledge and experience. I know they truly care about their clients and they offer the best creative and media strategy around!”
– Brianda Tamez, Google Review
On-time insertion of orders

Operating Hours:

The Creative Mango focuses on developing unique and vibrant brand identities, using storytelling techniques to connect a brand’s message with its target audience.
They have a small yet highly specialized core team made up of brand developers, a web lead, and more. I like how this highlights a balance of creativity and execution.
They take the time during consultation and strategy sessions. Experts dig deep into understanding clients’ business objectives and target audiences.
Their expertise in graphic design really stood out to me. From custom flyers and brochures to eye-catching social media graphics and web visuals, the level of detail they put into their designs is remarkable.
They offer user-friendly, mobile-responsive website design services. These are strategically built to convert visitors, with optimized user flows and clear CTAs.
While they prioritize functionality and practical design, their websites feel somewhat simple compared to those of other firms that emphasize cutting-edge aesthetics or more interactive features.
Incredibly patient
“We had a fantastic experience working with The Creative Mango for our 15-year anniversary rebrand! They helped us redesign our logo and were incredibly patient throughout the entire process. They offered us thoughtful options, listened closely to our feedback, and worked collaboratively with us until we landed on the perfect design. Their creativity and professionalism really stood out. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a design partner who truly cares about getting it right!”
– Kim Beechner, Google Review
Understood exactly what I needed
“Marco was very professional. I reached out to several designers and of course was looking for the best deal dollar wise. However after speaking to several people, I soon learned my goal was to select someone who understood exactly what I needed, took what I said and applied it exactly as well as applying his own creative ideas, and also met my time frame. He was efficient and produced all the products I needed to perfection. We received so many compliments on all our new products for our business. Thank you to The Creative Mango for such great work!
