How does Google Ads (previously AdWords) campaign management work?

Google AdWords campaign landing page example

Paid Campaign Analysis & Implementation

With an established AdWords account we will analyze historical data to find what performs most favorably, and tailor other parts to perform in a similar fashion. We will then change bidding options, keywords, ad text, and destination links to align with our goals. The goal is to drive as many leads and/or sales as possible per dollar spent.

Conversion Tracking & ROI Analysis

Our reports show which keywords are creating leads or sales and which are not. We monitor this to be sure we are focusing on the keywords that are working best and targeting specific phrases.

Search Network Advertising

We monitor progress and engagement of your search network advertising to adjust bigs, ads, and keywords to best reflect the traffic that will engage most positively on your site.

Ad Variation & Testing

Multiple ads will be tested using A/B testing methods to determine which ads lead to the highest click-through and conversion rates. We will also develop landing pages, copy variations and test which work best.

Monthly Maintenance

All aspects of the account will be reviewed each month to determine what areas can be improved and to be sure the campaign is running smoothly. Negative keywords and changes to your keywords will constantly be made to improve results.

Our end goal is to create an campaign with a high ROI (return on investment) that allows your company to spend wisely and grow profitable month after month. The manual process of reviewing the account ensures that you're not spending too much and your ads are always being shown in the optimal positions to convert. We'll discover throughout our process the key for your website to be successful via PPC and grow the campaign as profitability rises. We work hand-in-hand with you and have conference calls each month to be sure we're on the same page with goals & results.

  • Keyword research and planning
  • Budget analysis

PPC Management Pricing: How Much Does Google Ads & Paid Search Management Cost?

Author Justin Smith, CEO at OuterBox
by Justin Smith - CEO

If you're looking for an agency to manage your paid search or Google AdWords campaign, then you're probably wondering what costs and fees are associated with management.

Deciding to hire paid search experts is a step in the right direction, allowing the experts to take over and make the most of your campaign. Without a Google Ads management agency, you're likely spending too much and not getting the ROI you should be. The costs associated with the management of the campaign should pay for itself as our team will lower your cost per click and boost conversions.

Let's discuss the different types of PPC management pricing models you'll encounter in your search for professional Google Ads management services (formerly Google AdWords).

PPC / Google Ads Management Pricing Models

Whether you're looking to hire a low-cost overseas agency or a professional paid search management company, there are different pricing models that you'll expect to see:

  • Flat Fee + % of Spend

    The most common PPC management pricing model you'll encounter, many agencies charge a flat monthly fee in addition to a percentage of your monthly ad spend. This model has become the industry standard as it allows the agency to block out sufficient time for your campaign each month for maintenance tasks. If you have an extensive paid search campaign, fees for a percentage of spend allows for additional time to manage the more complicated account. Remember, the more you're spending, the more attention you want your agency to be giving you! Base fees can range anywhere from $250-$2500 a month and percentage of spend is usually between 7%-15%.


  • Hourly Rate

    Typically individuals or contractors will offer an hourly rate and bill hourly for their work. This PPC management pricing model can be worthwhile if you have a smaller campaign that doesn't require a team of experts. Hourly rate, depending on the country the individual works in, can range anywhere from $30-$250 an hour. The average US-based agency bills around $150-$200 an hour, while overseas agencies will charge a much lower fee. Remember, if you're working with a foreign agency, expect language barriers and phone calls at unconventional times of the day.


  • No Fee (watch out!)

    A relatively popular pricing model some agencies are now trying sell is the "free" management plan. With this type of pricing model, the company will often run the campaign through a 3rd party software and earn commission on every dollar you spend, sometimes without your knowledge. Usually, the keywords they bid on have low search volume and have been discounted significantly in cost. These campaigns can occasionally work for local business, but I do not recommend attempting to run a paid search campaign with this model for national exposure.


 

Overall, how much does PPC & Google Ads cost?

The cost of paid search comes down more to ad spend than management fees. While management fees can run you a few thousand per month (or much more depending on your budget), your actual ad spend with Google or another provider can range from $500-$500,000 a month. Decide how many visits you feel you need to reach your business goals and use Google's keyword planner tool to research keywords you would want to purchase.

After entering your keyword or keywords, you'll end up with a screen like this:

Google Keyword Planner for PPC Management Pricing and Google Ad Campaign Planning

While it isn't 100% accurate until you get your campaign up and running, it'll give you an idea of cost per click on the low end and high end if you want to be at the top of the Google results. Remember, there are two ways to drive search traffic to your website, through paid search, and through SEO. It usually makes sense to create a campaign with a blend of both services.

Which Ads Management Pricing Models Does OuterBox Offer?

One of the main advantages of working with OuterBox is that we don't believe in turnkey solutions or "packages". If you contact us for a quote, we will audit your existing website, PPC campaign, and competitiveness of your industry, to determine a mutually-beneficial pricing model. If it doesn't make sense to work with your company, we'll refer you to one of our partner agencies.

The majority of our PPC clients are on the flat fee + percentage of ad spend model we described above. However, each project is unique and we are open to discussing a pricing model that suits the uniqueness of your PPC campaign(s).

Local Google Ads Campaign Pricing

There are significant differences between a national paid search campaign and a local campaign. Not only will management fees be lower on a local campaign, but the cost per click is usually significantly lower. The cost you pay per click is based on a bidding model, and since fewer people are bidding on local keyword s like "SEO Company Cleveland" than the phrase "SEO Company." Even if you're a national player, it may still make sense to find some local keywords in key markets to drive traffic and leads at a lower cost.

Paid Search Management Services Pricing vs. ROI

As we begin to talk about the fees associated with paid search campaign management pricing, it can feel expensive, but it all comes down to the ROI the campaign provides. Look at it this way: if you spend $1 and make $5, its worth it every time. Of course to get this type of return you'll need to have a well managed and optimized PPC campaign. Remember, there is no need to jump in with massive spend right away, but you do need to spend enough to get an idea of what is working and what is not. You can scale your spend up each month as you prove an ROI on previous spends.

PPC Retargeting Costs

As with traditional PPC, you can retarget searchers who have been exposed to your ads or demonstrated interest in your website. The advantage of retargeting is that these ads can "follow" your audience around the web, drastically increasing exposure and credibility.

While the cost per click for retargeting is usually significantly less than normal PPC ads in the SERPs, the price still depends on your industry and should be considered a key component of a holistic PPC campaign. On average, companies tend to spend anywhere from 5-20% of their ad budgets on remarketing.

PPC Management Pricing Breakdown:

Generally speaking, most PPC management pricing will be proportional to your ad budget. Typical management pricing for PPC will fall into these distinct categories:

  • Flat monthly fee, plus a percentage of your monthly spend
  • Hourly Rate: Pay a standard or pro-rated hourly rate based on actual hours spent on your account.
  • No Fee, Commission Based: Avoid this pricing model.
