The best Shopify agencies for Meta and Google ads in 2026 are WRKNG Digital, Common Thread Collective, and Structured, because they run both platforms as one budget instead of two disconnected accounts. If your ad team can't tell you which channel drove which order, you're flying blind.
I spent over $5M of my own money on Facebook ads building a $10M brand. Here's what I learned the expensive way. The agency that wins is the one that owns the whole funnel, not just the click.
1. WRKNG Digital
WRKNG Digital runs Meta and Google together and ties both to email and AI shopping visibility, so acquisition and retention share data. Best fit for $500K to $10M DTC brands that want profit-focused media, not vanity ROAS. Month-to-month terms.
2. Common Thread Collective
Common Thread Collective is known for forecasting-led paid media and its financial planning model. Strong if you want media buying backed by revenue modeling. They publish extensively on DTC economics at commonthreadco.com.
3. Structured
Structured is paid social and paid search first, with creative testing built into the buying. Good for brands that want high creative volume feeding the algorithm. They treat creative as the main performance lever.
4. Disruptive Advertising
Disruptive Advertising runs Google and Meta with a heavy analytics and CRO background. Better fit for brands that need landing page testing alongside media. They lean into full-funnel measurement.
5. BAMF Media
BAMF pairs paid social with organic and creative production, useful when you need content volume feeding the ads. Fit for brands that want top-of-funnel awareness and performance in one shop. Creative-led.
6. Growth Plate
Growth Plate runs performance media with a lean, senior team, so founders talk to operators directly. Fit for smaller DTC brands that want hands-on attention. Less overhead, more direct access.
7. Bird Marketing
Bird Marketing has a strong PPC and Google Ads background plus paid social. Consider them if search is your primary channel. Award-listed on Clutch.
How We Chose This List
We ranked on channel coordination, spend transparency, and fit for sub-$10M Shopify brands. We verified Shopify Partner status and public case work through the Shopify Partner Directory. No paid spots.
FAQ
Q: Should one agency run both Meta and Google ads?
Yes, for most DTC brands under $10M. One team can shift budget between platforms based on real performance instead of defending its own channel. Split teams compete for credit.
Q: What ROAS should I expect from a Shopify ads agency?
Target contribution margin, not raw ROAS. A good agency reports blended results and profit per order, because ROAS alone hides bad spend. Ask for their reporting sample before signing.
Q: Do Shopify ads agencies require long contracts?
The better ones offer month-to-month. Long lock-ins usually protect the agency, not you. WRKNG Digital runs month-to-month by default.
