Ad Spend Goes to Google.
The Fee Pays for the Work.
Keeping the two apart makes quotes easy to compare. Your ad spend is paid from your own Google Ads account, and the management fee covers strategy, setup, optimisation, tracking and reporting.
What Makes Google Ads Quotes Confusing
Fee and ad spend mixed together
You cannot tell how much of your money reaches Google
Percentage-of-spend fees with no cap
The agency earns more when you spend more, whether or not it works
No mention of tracking or reporting
You pay for management but cannot see which clicks became customers
Ask every agency who owns the ad account, whether ad spend is paid to Google directly, and what reporting you receive.
What the Management Fee Covers
Strategy and set-up
Campaign structure, keywords, ads and audience settings built around your goal.
Conversion tracking
Forms, calls and WhatsApp clicks counted correctly, so results are measurable.
Ongoing optimisation
Search terms, negative keywords, bids and ad tests reviewed regularly.
Landing page advice
Recommendations to make the page after the click convert better.
Reporting
Leads, cost per lead and what we are changing, with a call to talk it through.
Account ownership
Account ownership and billing are stated in your proposal.

The costs of Google Ads, and the ones people forget
Ad spend
Paid to Google from your own account. You control the daily budget. Monthly spend roughly follows your daily budget across the month, so check Google's current help pages.
Management fee
Paid to your agency for the work. It should be written, with what it covers.
GST
Tax may apply to both Google's invoices and agency fees. Confirm the treatment with your accountant.
Other costs
Landing page changes, creative work, call tracking tools or CRM time, if needed.

The starting numbers are examples only, not Digital Aura results or market averages. Replace them with your own. This is a simple estimate: real results vary with competition, season, your offer and how quickly you follow up.
Flat fee, percentage of spend or performance pricing
Each model has trade-offs. Ask which one an agency uses and why.
Flat fee
Predictable. Can under-serve very small accounts or over-charge very small workloads.
Percentage of ad spend
Scales with workload, but the agency earns more when you spend more, so watch the incentive.
Hybrid
A flat base plus a percentage above a threshold. A common middle ground.
Performance-based
Sounds fair, but depends heavily on how a result is defined and who controls sales follow-up.
What pushes Google Ads cost up or down
Competition and season
More advertisers for the same search means higher click costs, and demand rises at certain times of year.
Quality Score and relevance
Better ad and landing page relevance can lower what you pay per click.
Landing page
A slow or unclear page wastes clicks you have already paid for.
Tracking and bidding
Correct conversion tracking lets the system aim for real leads.
Your response speed
Calls and WhatsApp messages answered quickly turn more clicks into customers.
Is Google Ads worth it for your business? A break-even test
Do this before you pick a budget.
Break-even cost per lead
Profit per customer multiplied by the share of leads that become customers. Paying more than this per lead loses money.
Break-even ROAS for stores
For online stores, divide 1 by your gross margin to find the minimum return on ad spend.
When to wait
If search demand is tiny, margins are thin or nobody can answer enquiries quickly, fix those first or consider Meta Ads or SEO.

Paying more than these amounts loses money on each sale before other costs. Real campaigns also carry fees, tools and your team's time, so aim well below them. The starting numbers are examples only.

Who this pricing is not for
Budgets too small to gather data
Very small budgets rarely produce enough data to optimise. We will say so honestly.
Anyone needing guaranteed outcomes
No honest agency can guarantee leads or sales from paid ads.
Restricted categories
Some categories are restricted by Google's policies or we may not advertise them.
If budget is tight, start with our free Google Ads audit or a DIY checklist.
Why the Google Ads quotes you got differ so much
Fees on public pages range widely, and the number alone says little.
Scope
One campaign or many, search only or several channels, and who builds the landing page.
Size of the account
A larger ad spend usually means more work, but not always in proportion.
Who manages it
A senior specialist, a junior or a shared team changes both cost and results.
Tracking and landing pages
Whether call, WhatsApp and form tracking and page fixes are included.
Reporting and meetings
A dashboard, a monthly call and a change log are different from a PDF.
Contract and exit
Notice period, ownership of the account and handover on exit.
