In my industry – professional pay per click account management the typical way to charge clients is 10% of their scheduled 30 day ad spend in the Google Ads control panel.
If a client has a setting of $150 a day for clicks, this translates into a 30 day budget of $4,500 to be paid to Google for clicks.
The typical account manager will bill $450 for the month for their management fee.
We operate differently – we bill by the running ad group number or ad spend and bill based on a service grid we post on our website. Our fee for this same client would be not $450 but rather $260 for 2.8 hours of service. That is more than a 42% lower fee than what is charged by the typical agency or manager.
We have priced our services to be small to medium sized business-friendly and know that your investment in our services will be repaid by increased leads and phone calls.
In our case, a lower price does not mean less quality or less skill – it is just our way of billing and doing account architecture that works for us and helps clients to have professional service without significantly adding to their overhead.
