What Google Ads management costs
From $1,280 a month. Set by account size, never a share of your spend.
Most consultants make you book a call to learn the price. That call exists to qualify you, not to inform you. Here the figure is published, the rules behind it are published, and the first look at your account is free.
Google Ads management
$1,280a month, from
- Set by account size
- Never a percentage of spend
- Month to month, no lock-in
For businesses spending $2,000 or more a month on ads
How the fee is set
By account size
The fee reflects the work the account needs: the platforms, the campaigns and how much of it moves each month. It does not rise because you spend more on ads.
Never a percentage of spend
A flat fee, so my incentive is never to spend more of your money.
Month to month
No lock-in contract. Engagements run month to month, without the red tape of an agency contract.
One person, start to finish
The person who reads your search terms answers your email and writes your report. There is no account manager in the fee.
What the fee includes
- Account audit before any change is made
- Campaign build or rebuild around margin and intent
- Consistent search term review and negative keyword application
- Bid, budget and geography management
- Ad copy written and tested regularly
- Conversion tracking verified, then maintained
- Feed and platform builds where they are needed
- One-page monthly report in plain English
- Direct access to me, not a service desk
