Best answer
Under $2500 is $400. The amount of work is same if it’s $500 or $1500 or $2500.

I charge $400 for adspend under $2500. Why you’re doing 20 landing pages to start doesn’t make sense to me. But I charge $150 for a custom lander on the low end.

@dallman one for each keyword. So $150 for a landing page is your fee? With tracking?  
by (360 points)
@dallman im guessing you charge a setup fee for landing pages and the just maintain the campaigns on a monthly contract?

@selestina tracking what? Calls? Forms? I wouldn’t make 20 of anything until I had data.

@sambo hey bud - quick q, is that a monthly fee for every client?  
by (12.2k points)
@landis1211 yes. Most pay more
by (560 points)
@sambo same here. If they can't pay that they are not ready. It's as simple as that. Most of my clients pay 1450 facebook and IG ads only plus social management or 3400 for all inclusive digital marketing solutions that include Google since its more expensive and requires more work.  
by (230 points)
@sambo and that is solely google ads management? No extra work such as creating the ad creations for display/youtube?  
by (12.2k points)
@landis1211 I have that rule about everything. $500 a month minimum.

2 to 10 calls when they understand the fees are saying to me , better to hire inhouse then than be your client. is this the new thing? How would you answer to them?

@dallman Dial true but i have seen more businesses are looking to hire an advanced ppc marketer than go with us as small or large agencies. This strategy has a lot of negative scenarios because an employee have to ask to the owner a lot of tools to buy so he can do his job so it will be expensive. They think that if they hire someone thats it, nooo a lot of marketing tools to pay my friend.

I will do it for some for $300 a month if their ad spend is low. That’s 2 hours of my time a month.  
by (200 points)
@inosculate686 So you can run their entire Facebook ads for their business in 2 hours a month?

What do you want to earn? You should charge the prices that serve your goals and dreams. The traditional ad world traditionally gets 10% of Ad budget plus production costs. (My suggestion is be great at what you do and very very expensive)

Where do you all aquire your clients? Just curious  
by (1.8k points)
E-mail lead nurturing campaigns, but mostly online search of current adwords campaigns. Specialize in reaching Latino consumer in Spanish, therefore when I see Adwords campaign in Spanish that leads to english website, easy to showcase flaws in campaign to gain the business.

@carrol9 word of mouth.  
by (330 points)
@carrol9 have you found keywords in Spanish are cheaper than the same ones in English? Or similar price? I’d say there’s probably less competition
