// Google Ads management · 10% of spend

PPC priced like it should be.

No base fee. No setup fee. 10% of your monthly ad spend, billed after the fact based on what Google actually charged you. Cross-correlated with your SEO + GA4 data so we never bid against your free traffic.

How do you price Google Ads for a small budget?

We charge 10% of your monthly ad spend, billed after the fact based on what Google actually charged you, with no base fee, no setup fee, and no minimum. Most PPC shops charge 15 to 20% of spend, so at the levels small businesses actually run, from $1,000 to $25,000 a month, you keep roughly 44% more of your budget. Google Ads management is an add-on that needs an active $200 a month SEO subscription on the same domain, because we pull your organic data first and point paid spend only where it adds incremental clicks. Here is the math at common monthly spend.

What ad metrics do we report on?

Every managed account is tracked on the numbers that decide whether paid spend pays off: average Quality Score, currently 8.1 across tracked keywords, impression share at 78%, and average ROAS of 3.6x. We check the account every weekday for spend pacing, conversion drops, sudden CPC spikes, and ad disapprovals, so problems get caught the day they happen instead of at month end. Underneath sits cross-channel attribution: we pull Search Console and GA4 data first, then point paid spend at the queries where organic is weakest, so every paid click adds incremental traffic. Search-term mining, negative-keyword pruning, Quality Score recovery, and landing-page alignment all run on top of those numbers.

We see what organic already wins
Most agencies bid on keywords you already rank #1 for organically. We pull your Search Console + GA4 data first, then point paid spend at the queries where organic is weakest, so every paid click adds incremental traffic.

Rule
Skip queries you own organically
If you rank #1 organically and competition is thin, paid clicks cannibalize free ones. We exclude those queries from your campaigns.

Pages tuned for both organic and paid intent
The same landing page often serves organic and paid traffic. We tune it once, for both. Faster pages, clearer copy, schema that helps PPC Quality Score and AI Overview citation at the same time. This is the part where the bundled SEO subscription pays off.

Google Ads management is an add-on. It requires an active $200/mo SEO subscription on the same domain. The two work together by design: we pull the organic data first, then decide where paid actually adds incremental clicks. See full pricing →
