PPC Questions
How much does PPC management cost in Atlanta?
Market rates run 10 to 20 percent of ad spend or flat monthly fees. Ours are published on the services page with the scope of each tier: Starter is $2,500 a month, Growth $5,000, and Scale from $7,500. Each has a one-time onboarding fee, waived on a longer term, and every retainer needs at least $1,500 a month in ad spend. Media spend is paid by you directly to the platforms, and we never mark it up.
What does a PPC agency do each week?
Each week the work is search-term pruning, budget pacing against demand, creative and landing page testing, and reporting that ties spend to booked jobs or revenue. In 2026 the ad and the page move results more than the settings panel does, so that is where the hours go.
Google Ads or Meta ads for an Atlanta business?
It follows urgency. Emergency and appointment services (HVAC, plumbing, legal, dental) start with Google, because the customer is searching at the moment of need; hiring-intent clicks in those trades ran $5 to $36 in our July 2026 benchmark pull. Visual and offer-driven businesses (med spas, gyms, wrap shops, ecommerce) earn Meta budget sooner. Most accounts end up with both, sequenced rather than launched together.
How fast does PPC show results?
Traffic arrives the first day; judgment takes longer. Months one and two typically run at 60 to 75 percent of steady-state efficiency while the platforms learn which clicks convert, so our projections build that ramp in and why quitting at week five is the most expensive mistake in paid media. Steady state usually reads clearly by month three.
Do you require long contracts?
Three-month minimums on Starter and Growth, six on Scale. The minimums exist because accounts take roughly a quarter to settle into clean numbers. After that, engagements run month to month on 30-day notice, and you own the ad accounts either way.
