Are advertising spend and PPC management fees included in the same budget?

We distinguish platform media spend from campaign management and creative work in the proposal. Account access, targeting, landing pages and conversion measurement are reviewed before launch. We agree who approves budgets and changes and how results are reported. CPC, lead cost and returns vary with auctions, competition and the offer; fixed outcomes are not assumed.

The opportunity

Intent meets relevance.
Spend with a clear purpose.

Clicks become expensive when offers, targeting, and landing pages tell different stories. We align those parts before scaling spend and use results to guide iteration.

Start with the people doing the work.

We consider people searching for your offer and the team responsible for advertising spend and enquiry quality. Their tasks shape the scope, interface, and review priorities.

Make the decisions reviewable.

Agree the first useful outcome, responsibilities, and dependencies. Review a concrete direction before expanding the work.

Let’s talk

Share the goal, current environment and the people who will use or maintain the result. Include relevant examples and constraints covering campaign markets, media budget, account condition, landing pages, conversion tracking and creative needs. We use that context to identify a reviewable starting point and any discovery needed before committing to a larger scope.

The proposal defines the outcome, deliverables, exclusions and review milestones before implementation. For this service, the scope can cover campaign architecture, landing page alignment, conversion measurement. Group keywords by intent, location, and offer. Agree budget, exclusions, campaign structure, and the action each campaign should support. Your team supplies the approved information and access needed for the agreed work. We serve USA and Canada businesses and agree communication and review arrangements around your team's availability.

We estimate after reviewing campaign markets, media budget, account condition, landing pages, conversion tracking and creative needs. A focused first release can resolve the highest-priority task while later requirements remain visible. The proposal records costs, milestones, client inputs and third-party charges. Missing access, delayed approvals or new requirements can change the schedule; scope changes are discussed before additional work begins. Share your current systems, priorities, budget range and desired date so the estimate reflects your project.

Evaluate search terms and conversion quality with available data. Platform auctions and competition affect results; campaign adjustments do not guarantee leads. Review priorities include budget controls, conversion setup, query relevance. Ownership, source files, licences, account access and transfer conditions are defined in the agreement. Ongoing maintenance, monitoring or additional development is scoped separately, with support coverage and response arrangements confirmed in writing.
