What is not in the fee
Stated plainly, so there are no surprises on the first invoice.
Ad spend
Paid directly to Google, Meta or the relevant platform from your own account. We never bill media through us and never take a rebate.
Third-party tools
If your account needs a feed tool or call tracking, you buy it directly. We will recommend, we will not resell.
Website development
We recommend landing page changes and can produce the copy. Building them is a separate scope.
Paid stock or licensing
Rare, and always agreed with you in advance.
Fixed fee versus percentage of spend
| Monthly ad spend | PPCBud (Growth) | Agency at 15% of spend | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| $5,000 | $995 | $750 | $245 more |
| $10,000 | $995 | $1,500 | You save $505 |
| $25,000 | $995 | $3,750 | You save $2,755 |
| $50,000 | $995 | $7,500 | You save $6,505 |
| $100,000 | $995 | $15,000 | You save $14,005 |
Illustrative, at a common market rate of 15%. The point is not that we are always cheaper — at very low spend we are not. The point is that our fee does not rise when we recommend increasing your budget.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a setup fee?
No. The build in weeks 3–4 is included in the first month.
What is the minimum ad spend?
Around $1,000 per month. Below that the management fee is a large share of total investment and rarely pays for itself. We will say so.
Can I change package?
Up or down, with 30 days notice, at any point.
Do you offer a discount for annual payment?
No. Annual prepayment mostly benefits the agency and reduces your ability to leave — which is the opposite of how we price.
What happens if I cancel?
30 days notice. Accounts are already in your name, so there is nothing to hand back and no data to migrate.
Do you charge more as our spend grows?
The fee is banded by account complexity, so it can move if the scope genuinely changes. It does not move automatically with budget.
