Your ad budget should go to Google — not to a management fee that gets bigger every time you grow. Flat rate, senior strategist, and the account stays yours.
Traditional agencies make more money when you spend more money. The incentives are upside down — and you end up paying the price.
Why should your management fee jump when your ad budget grows? A $10k budget doesn't take twice the work to manage as a $5k budget. You shouldn't be paying twice for it.
Platform fees, fine-print charges, mystery line items. Most agencies pad the invoice in places you'll never check, inflating your real cost without adding any value.
You bought the senior strategist on the sales call. You got someone three years out of school running your account. The expert moved on to chase the next pitch.
When the agency owns your Google Ads account, leaving them gets expensive. Your history, your conversion data, your audiences. They hold everything that matters.
Flat-rate pricing. Senior strategist. Your account stays yours. The agency model rebuilt around the way it should have worked from the start.
Flat monthly rate whether you spend $5k or $50k. Same expert work either way. Scale your budget without scaling your fee by a single dollar.
Your account is built and run by a strategist with 20+ years in Google Ads. No middle layer, no junior handoff. The person you sign with is the person who does the work.
Full admin access from the start. No hostage situations, no expensive exits. If you ever decide to leave, you walk out with everything intact.
Clear monthly reports on what's working, what isn't, and what we're changing next. No vanity metrics. If a number doesn't tell you what to do, it shouldn't be in the report.
I've spent 20+ years in paid search, and I build and run every account personally. That's the whole reason the flat fee works: no agency overhead to feed, no team to mark up. Just senior-level work at an honest, predictable price — and an account that's yours from day one.
Pick the level of management your account needs — from monthly upkeep to weekly hands-on work. Pricing reflects the work your account needs, not what you spend.
When you're scaling and want one senior lead across paid search, paid social, email & lifecycle, and merchandising — not four separate vendors — that's our fractional growth engagement.
