Google Ads Agency Pricing

We’re going to talk all about Google Ads and what you might pay for a professional agency to help you out. Here at Adverge, we get that price is a big deal when you’re choosing a Google Ads agency. But there’s more to think about than just the cost.

Let’s dive into how the know-how of an agency affects their prices, the different ways they might charge you, and why we at Adverge use a tiered pricing model that goes with how much you’re spending on ads.

Psst…. we also work together with partners. If you are interested, visit our partner page.

How Expertise Affects Pricing​

What a Google Ads agency charges can really show how much they know and how experienced they are. Agencies that have a good track record and really know their stuff might charge more. That’s because they do more than just manage ads; they give you advice on how to make the most money back from what you spend.

Different Ways to Price

When it comes to pricing models, Google Ads agencies offer a variety of options to accommodate different business needs and preferences. Understanding these models can help you choose the one that aligns best with your advertising goals and budget.

Flat Rate Pricing

One common approach is the flat rate model. Here, you agree to pay a predetermined amount on a monthly or yearly basis. This model is straightforward and predictable, making budgeting easier for you. It’s ideal for businesses that prefer stability in their expenses and want a consistent set of services each month. However, it’s important to ensure that the services included in this flat rate meet all your Google Ads needs.

Percentage of Spend Pricing

Another popular pricing method is based on a percentage of your ad spend. In this model, the agency takes a certain percentage of the total amount you spend on your Google Ads campaigns. This percentage typically ranges from 10% to 20%, depending on the agency’s expertise and the complexity of your campaigns. This model aligns the agency’s incentives with your success; as your ad spend increases due to successful campaigns, the agency benefits as well. It’s particularly suitable for businesses looking to scale their advertising efforts and seeking an agency that is motivated to improve campaign performance.

Performance-Based Pricing

Performance-based pricing is results-oriented, meaning you pay the agency based on the achievement of specific goals. These goals could be an increase in website traffic, lead generation, or actual sales. This model is highly attractive to businesses because it directly ties the agency’s compensation to the success of the campaigns. It ensures that the agency is focused on delivering tangible results. However, it’s crucial to clearly define the goals and how they are measured to avoid any misunderstandings.

Hourly Rate Pricing

Lastly, some agencies offer services based on an hourly rate. This means you pay for the actual time the agency spends managing your Google Ads campaigns. This model provides flexibility and can be cost-effective for smaller projects or for businesses that only need occasional adjustments to their campaigns. However, it can become expensive if your campaigns require significant time and attention, so it’s important to have a clear understanding of the scope of work and estimated hours.

Each of these pricing models has its advantages and considerations. When choosing an agency, think about your campaign goals, budget, and the level of involvement you desire from your agency. A clear discussion with potential agencies about their pricing models and what they include can help you make an informed decision that supports your business’s growth.

Why Adverge Goes for Tiered Pricing

At Adverge, we use a tiered pricing model that matches up with how much you’re spending on ads. This way, everything’s clear and can grow with your campaigns. It also pushes us to manage your campaigns as well as we can, because our success is tied to yours.

What’s More Important Than Price

While price matters, it shouldn’t be the only thing you think about when picking a Google Ads agency. Their skills, experience, and track record are super important. An agency that really gets your business and goals and can come up with a plan just for you is often worth more than just low prices.

Choosing the right Google Ads agency is a crucial decision for your business’s online advertising success. To ensure you’re making the best choice, it’s important to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of potential agencies. Here’s how you can go about it:

Examine Case Studies and Testimonials

Start by looking into the agency’s past successes. Case studies and testimonials provide insight into the agency’s ability to deliver results. They showcase the agency’s experience in handling campaigns similar to yours and highlight their success stories. This evidence can give you confidence in their ability to meet your advertising goals.

Verify Experience and Certifications

Next, assess the agency’s qualifications. An agency with Google Ads certifications demonstrates a recognized level of expertise and knowledge in managing Google Ads campaigns. Additionally, inquire about their experience in your industry or with businesses of your size. This ensures they have the relevant experience to understand your unique challenges and opportunities.

Discuss Strategies and Processes

Understanding how an agency plans to manage and optimize your campaigns is vital. A reputable agency should be transparent about their approach and willing to discuss their strategies and processes with you. This conversation can help you gauge whether their methods align with your business goals and expectations.

Evaluate Communication and Reporting

Effective communication and regular reporting are the foundations of a successful partnership with a Google Ads agency. Ensure the agency values open communication and is committed to providing you with regular updates on your campaign’s performance. This not only keeps you informed but also allows for timely adjustments to optimize campaign results.

Making Your Final Decision

After thoroughly vetting potential Google Ads agencies using the steps above, you’ll be in a strong position to make an informed decision. Remember, the right agency should not only have the technical skills and experience but also share your vision for growth and success. They should be partners in your journey, committed to achieving your advertising objectives through strategic planning, execution, and continuous optimization.

Choosing the right Google Ads agency is more than just a business transaction; it’s about forming a partnership that will propel your business forward. Take your time, ask the right questions, and choose an agency that aligns with your business values and goals. With the right team by your side, you’re setting the stage for a successful and profitable advertising campaign.
