How much should I expect to pay for a Google Ads Expert to provide a one-off report with recommendations for improving my client's Google Ads Campaign? (they set up the campaign up themselves) They are a small business in Australia.

I’d probably charge you around the same as my colleague above, depending on the number of campaigns, ad groups, ads and kws you manage. Based on that, I’d give you an hourly rate and would dig the account to get you insights on getting it optimized

I do this for $250. I’ve run for million dollar brands. At an agency level this is included within your Norma monthly management feeds. Anyone charging more is price gouging imo. It’s just a recommendation

Probably about 3 hours or work. Our hourly rate starts at $150 but I'm sure there are cheaper options out there. Good luck

I’d say $50 an hour but it’s also based on how big the account is, small under $5000 a month. There are also some free tools that wont be as in depth but can also provide a few insights.

Hi Vic, can you direct me to some of these management tools? Are they subscription based or free?

Hi Hannah, I would try adzooma, they seem to have a free trial that does an audit and makes recommendations. I am not certain of their monthly charges after the trial though. What is your end goal?

As all above saying it depends on account my rate is low I will do in $100 - $150 i believe to gave recommendations means you will do everything like a new client but except creation of campaign. 70-80% job we have to do anyway.
