Hi katsu1990,

There are several experienced PPC managers that participate in this forum, just read through the threads to find someone that looks suitable to your needs.

PPC management agencies offer many different pricing models. Most agencies charge between 10-25% of your ad spend, and the industry standard rate is 15% of ad spend. Some offer fixed price packages, those package prices are usually based on an ad spend limit that works out to be about the same as industry rates.

It's generally a good idea to go with an agency that charges close to industry standard rates, if they are lower they will need to cut corners to stay within the fee budget which tends to affecting the quality of your service, and if they charge too high it eats the majority of your profits.

In my opinion, it is also better to go with an agency that offers variable rates rather than fixed, else they have a built-in incentive to limit the growth of your business to keep their own expenses within the fixed fee.

In the interest of full disclosure, I operate an advertising agency so I will recuse myself from recommending a specific agency.

I also agree that you'd better work with those who know the way online advertising works. 25% for me feels pricy. 10% is quite available, depends on your budget.

There's a wide range of fee structures from hourly rates of $10 (or less for freelancers in certain parts of the world) per hour to well over $100 per hour. Many charge a percentage of your spend with an average of about 15%. Others may have a combination.

Advertising your business is essential and is not something to take lightly. Not all people or even agencies have the same knowledge levels. It's all about results. It may be worth to spend 20% instead of 10% if the more expensive one produces much better results.

What kind of budget are you working with? In MN we have lot's of great experts all over but most like me can't really do much with low budgets because of the time it takes and money it takes to get something good going.

It's not uncommon to have to spend 5 grand for instance before you start to see what will work and another 5 grand after that to really start to get profitable.

Of course it all depends on the product and niche you are in. If you are selling automotive paint for instance then that is a set product geared towards a set interest which is always a lot easier to get going.
