How are you paying for your Adwords Management

    Guys,

    Just wanted to do a straw poll and find out how people are paying for Adwords Management. Not how much but how!

    For example:

    1) Do you pay a set amount each month?
    2) Do you pay based on time they spend looking after your account?
    3) Do you pay a percentage of your budget?
    4) Do you pay an amount based on clicks?

    Or something else?

    I'd be really interested to hear how people are paying and if they are happy with the arrangement.

    Ta

    Mike

    They First Give 7 Trial,If performance is been showing & we are interested then we have to pay them
    on the basis of per/week.
    i think that the payment system for this is per/week.(We have Options like per/mon,per/week...)

    Cant figure you out, are you asking about Adword Qualified Professionals...

    It may also depend upon your choice,
    You are given flexibility of payment but in most times its percent of how much you have spend.

    some of my clients pay me prepaid and i take out my cut and deposit rest, others pay me when there are conversions, and the rest usually are billed monthly.

    this is pretty standard. Ive seen rates from 15-30% of spend depending on volume.

    yes a % of spend is the typical industry standard pricing policy.

    The percentage typically ranges from 10% - 30%

    It's getting more and more competitive as well. I see management offers under 10% all the time from very reputable companies. Give it another 12 - 24 months and 10% and lower will be the norm...if it's not already.

    Whilst we are flexible, in general we charge a fixed fee, as this removes any question of us acting against the clients' best interests.

    On occasion, we use performance-based pricing, but that's the exception rather than the rule...

    most of my clients pay a fixed monthly fee that is linked to budget. e.g. spend up to xxx and pay xxx, spend above xxx but below xxx and pay xxx ect ect

    (doesnt really make as much sence without actual figures :) )
