Hi everyone!  Newbie here.Hi everyone! Newbie here. I was wondering if anyone could help me out? I was asked by a company that I pitched social media services to to do Google AdWords which I haven't done before. I did training classes and feel pretty confident but I'm not sure what to price my services at. Can anyone recommend or let me know what you charge monthly for this. They are looking to start at around a $2, 000 monthly ad spend and will go up. They also want to focus mostly on Shopping ads (which if anyone has advice on this, please send my way). Also, they do already have an account created with some ads running but by the looks of it they aren't set up properly or optimized well with keywords at all. Any help would be much appreciated! Thank you.

You could charge them a flat fee, or a fee + % of as spend. I suggest doing some pretty quick learning learning around Shopping/remarketing etc - otherwise you'll just burn their cash and not see a good return

I'd suggest charging a setup fee, and then a monthly management fee. With a $2000 monthly budget, you'd be hard pressed to get more than $500 a month, which is high if you look at it from a percent of ad spend, but you should have a minimum in mind. Feel free to message me if you have any questions, I'd be happy help.

Shopping is more kind of feed management, totally different. I think you should start with the basic courses offered by Google and the go with wordstream, neilpatel, adespresso etc. More source, more actionable tips.
