ppc management pricing | 100% results-driven agency

how much does ppc cost?

brafton prices each paid campaign as a monthly ppc package of 10 units (management fee), or as a custom quote of two units per hour of work. each unit is worth $100. this ppc management pricing does not include the cost-per-click fee charged by the advertising platform. for context, google’s average cpc is less than $1 on the display network and between $2 and $3 on the search network. as a general rule, cpc varies by industry, which is why the cost of ppc marketing tends to be greater in more competitive markets such as accounting, legal and other business services.

the abcs of ppc

pay-per-click advertising is exactly what it sounds like: each time someone clicks on one of your ads, you pay a small fee to the platform that published the ad.

across the industry, the average click-through rate for paid ads is 0.46% for display ads such as banners, and between 2% and 3% for search. while this may not seem high compared to organic ctr, conversion rates for paid ads can be anywhere from 50% to 150% higher on average than organic content.

the secret to managing an effective ppc campaign that will yield a relatively high ctr, a strong conversion rate and, ultimately, ppc roi is to use paid ads as one facet of a cohesive marketing strategy.

each ppc advertising campaign should serve a specific function and have clearly established success metrics.

what is white-label ppc?

white-label ppc is just a fancy way of saying third-party ppc management; in other words, it’s when a client works with a ppc agency. brafton will manage your digital advertising budget and help allocate spend to the most effective networks. this ppc optimization will help ensure that your ppc ad campaigns target the right audience on the right networks.
