How much does it cost to use a Google Ads agency?
US Google Ads agency fees typically run $1,500–$10,000+ per month, or 10–20% of ad spend on larger accounts, whichever is greater. Smaller retainers ($1,500–$3,000/mo) usually mean junior account managers running templated campaigns; senior specialists at $5K+/mo. The right anchor is "management fees should be less than the profit uplift from proper account management" — if they aren't, hire in-house.
