HawkSEM was founded in October 2006 by brothers Sam Yadegar (CEO) and Rambod Yadegar (President) in Los Angeles, California, with a fully remote team of 80+ marketing experts spread across more than 35 states. The agency reports $46.9 million in annual revenue, more than $80 million in client ad spend managed, a 98% client retention rate, and a 4.5x average client ROI. The positioning centers on a proprietary platform called ConversionIQ, which consolidates marketing data across Google Ads, Meta, GA4, HubSpot, and other tools into a single dashboard and then feeds optimization decisions back into campaigns based on what drives revenue rather than vanity metrics like raw traffic or form completions. HawkSEM sits in the top 3% of Google Premier Partners and is also a Microsoft Advertising Partner and Meta Business Partner. The team requires a minimum of three years of agency experience to join, with no junior account managers on client work. The published six-step engagement process runs from Audit through Strategy, Buildout, Optimize, Report, and Thrive across 250+ clients in more than 30 industries.
Google Ads is HawkSEM’s original and most documented offering, delivered under the PPC Management service with the agency sitting in the top 3% of the Google Premier Partner network. Coverage spans paid search, Performance Max, Google Shopping, YouTube, Display, retargeting, and revenue modeling, supported by the ConversionIQ platform which connects ad accounts to GA4, HubSpot, and other tools for unified optimization. SEO is treated as the foundational organic layer that compounds with paid programs, covering technical audits, content production, keyword research, backlink cleanup, schema implementation, page speed work, and a dedicated GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) practice for AI search visibility inside ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews. Meta Ads sits inside Paid Social with Meta Business Partner status, covering Facebook and Instagram across prospecting, retargeting, and DPA-style catalog campaigns, paired with the same ConversionIQ measurement layer that runs underneath paid search rather than reporting on Meta in isolation.
Fashion and apparel is one of HawkSEM’s named industry verticals on its services menu, with published work for outdoor and snowboard apparel brand 686, where the agency reported a 562% revenue increase, alongside accessories and bags through Timbuk2. Home and garden coverage spans premium home and outdoor furniture, with engagements for Teak HQ (11x ROAS through Microsoft Ads), Grayson Living (60% revenue lift from social media), and adjacent home services brands. Sporting goods and outdoor lifestyle sits close behind, with Super73 in the e-bike category and a broader catalog of action sports and outdoor brands supported across the agency’s 19-year history.
