Fee models you will meet
- Fixed monthly fee per channel. Simple and predictable. This is how we price.
- Percentage of ad spend. Common for larger budgets, usually 10% to 20%.
- Bundled packages. Bronze, silver, gold. Easy to buy, but you often pay for items you do not need.
- Performance-based. Pay per lead or sale. Attractive, but disputes over lead quality are common.
Advertising budget is separate
Agency fees do not include what you pay Google or Meta. In the Keyword Planner data we analysed, median top-of-page bids were about INR 91 for digital marketing keywords, INR 130 for web design and INR 245 for PPC terms, so costs per click differ a great deal by industry.

A website, tracking and accounts. With us that is ₹4,999$99 to ₹19,999$399 for the site, ₹4,999$99 for the analytics bundle and ₹2,499$49 to ₹3,499$69 per ad account.
Getting value for the money
Put tracking in first, start with one or two channels, review cost per lead every month and move budget to what works. More channels do not mean more results.
