Paid Advertising · Charleston, SC
Most ad money gets wasted in the gap between the ad and the landing page. We fix that gap first, then run the campaigns — in your account, with reporting you can read. No 40-slide decks, no jargon, no fake urgency.
Checklist · what’s included
These are the fundamentals. Before we tune a single bid, every one of these has been checked or set up. If an agency skips any of them, the spend gets wasted.
Pricing · tiers
Ranges below are typical for a business your size. We quote the exact number after a 30-minute call and a written scope.
$1,500/mo + ad spend
Google OR Meta. For businesses testing a channel, recovering a campaign that went sideways, or just trying to stop the bleed.
Most common
$2,500 – $3,500/mo + ad spend
Google and Meta together, or one of those paired with LSAs. Coordinated creative, shared conversion model, one person managing both.
$4,000 – $5,000/mo + ad spend
Three or more channels, landing-page iteration, and full-funnel reporting. For businesses that have already proven paid works and want to scale it.
How to pick · worksheet
What to ask before you hand over a credit card.
If the agency runs ads in their own account and bills you, you lose the data, the history, and all the leverage. Insist on running in your Google and Meta accounts from day one.
Some agencies pass spend through at cost. Some mark it up 10–20%. Neither is inherently wrong, but you need to know which it is. If they dodge the question, that's the answer.
Anyone can write an ad. The ad-to-landing-page fit is where most wasted spend hides. Ask how they handle landing pages — and what happens if yours is the bottleneck.
Not a dashboard screenshot. An actual report they sent a client. If it's 40 slides or a wall of metrics with no commentary, you won't read it and they know it.
A 12-month lock-in on a channel that takes 30 days to prove out is a red flag. 90 days is fair for paid search; month-to-month after that is what confident operators offer.
