In cases where our monthly management fee exceeds $2,000 per month, we do accept payment via company check. For any monthly fees lower than $2,000, clients are billed automatically via credit card at the beginning of the monthly management cycle. We find this to be the most efficient way to bill… and it keeps our resources focused on delivering Google Ads results for you!

No. You pay these fees directly to Google through your Google Ads account. HMG’s monthly management charges are billed separately via credit card through our secure Infusionsoft Payments processing platform.

No.  We find this pricing model to be complicated for our clients and us.  Instead, each month we charge a predictable and flat management fee.

The monthly management fee is based on your broad spending tier and it is billed via credit card at the beginning of each month.

Absolutely not. Any work we do on your behalf will be contained within HMG-specific campaigns. We will not modify your existing campaign in any way. This makes is easy to do a clean “switch-over” by pausing your past campaigns while enabling the new campaigns. It also gives us a clear date by which we can measure pre and post results.

If you ever decided to revert back to your previous campaigns, it’s as simple as a click of a button. (but seriously… we’ve never seen a client want to do this )

Every client’s account is different; every client’s competitive market is different. Guaranteeing specific results is a red flag in the industry (Google actually warns of this practice). Having said that, it’s very common for HMG to deliver our clients a 20-30% boost in Google Ads performance within weeks of taking over management responsibility. In fact, we’re so confident we’ll deliver the goods, we offer you a 100% money back guarantee.

All our clients receive performance tracking reports on a weekly basis that include the most critical metrics: click through rate, average cost per click, average ad position, number of clicks, website conversions, conversion rate, and cost per conversion.

Then, on a monthly basis, we meet via phone or web meeting and review your graphical, in-depth Google Ads Scorecard Report.  This report covers trends for your key stats, quality score indicators, top performing keywords, top performing ads, specific activities taken during the month, and priorities for the month ahead.

Nope. You’ve paid us for that work and you own it.

There is one exception to this, however. As part of our 30-Day Money Back Guarantee, we allow you to cancel and receive a refund of 100% of the fees you have paid during the first 30 days (we refund both your setup and your first month’s management fee). In this case, we’ll set your account back to its original pre-optimized state and you will lose the work we have done.

No. Everything is month-to-month. If, at any point, you’d like us to stop managing your account, you just need to provide us with a written notice 15 days prior to the start of your next billing cycle (an email is just fine). We’ll stop the credit card billing and we’ll give you specific instructions to “de-link” your Google Ads account from our Google Ads Management account.

There are two types of fees, an initial, one-time setup fee and an ongoing monthly management fee. Both fees are determined by your broad Google Ads spending tier. Fees are billed via credit card at the beginning of each monthly management cycle.

No problem!

Plan Changes: When your Google Ads spending moves you up or down in our tiered billing structure, well make you aware and confirm this is the level you are likely to remain in for the next month. If so, we make the change on our end and your next monthly credit card charge will be adjusted up or down to reflect the change in plan.

Cancellation: All our Google Ads Management agreements are strictly month-to-month, so you always have the ability to cancel, no questions asked. To do this, we simply require a written notice (email is fine) at least 15 days prior to the beginning of your next management cycle. This gives us time to stop the automatic charge, and you will see no more charges from us.

There are four principles that underscore our approach to every client relationship:

• We work shoulder-to-shoulder with clients to significantly improve your business. HMG is not a vendor that seeks to push a specific product.
• The direction we give our clients meets the same standards as the advice we would give people that are closest to us. We will be frank, honest and always recommend an approach that meets your needs.
• We have a job to do – help you increase sales. We don’t shy away from this and openly work with you to measure the impact we’re having. If we’re not moving the needle in the right direction, we shouldn’t expect to be around for very long.
• We educate. Our job is to help you define a clear and realistic game plan and execute on that plan. But we also educate you along the way. You may choose to work with us for the long haul, but we’ll take steps to ensure you’re not dependent on us.

Typically there is some real heavy lifting during the setup process. During setup, we want to go deep to understand your business, your industry, and your competitors. We then want to define some very specific “success measures” for our relationship… What are the main objectives for the account? What specific results are we shooting for during the first month, 3 months, 6 months?

Next, we go to work optimizing the account including performing keyword research and selection, establishing the account structure, configuring campaign settings, creating many ad groups and ads, and defining a bid strategy. In some cases, this truly is “optimization,” but in most cases, it takes the form of a significant overhaul.

Frankly, a lot depends on how bad of shape your account is in today.

If you’re a relative beginner with Google Ads or your account has been neglected over the last few months, chances are high that you will see DRAMATIC results within 60 days. By that, we mean a significant increase in quality scores and click-through rates, while seeing a significant decrease in your average cost per click. Bottom line, your ROI should improve fast!

If you’re a seasoned Google Ads manager and you’ve been continuously following best practices prior to turning things over to HMG, the results will be a little least dramatic in the short-term, HOWEVER you will likely see surprising performance gains over the first 6 months as we dig deep and consistently split test your ads and refine your bidding and keyword strategies.

All improvements and ongoing optimizations occur with your account.  As a Certified Google Ads Partner Firm, Google provides us with a means to securely link to your account.  It allows us the access what we need to do our job, while keeping you in control when it comes to account access and billing information.

We believe there are a few things that clearly set us apart. Other managers may offer some of these things, but very few offer ALL of them:

• Full 30-Day Money-back Guarantee
• No long-term contracts – all agreements are month-to-month
• A single point of contact with years of in-the-trenches Google Ads experience (we’re not a call center environment with newbie Google Ads managers and high turnover)
• Attractive pricing starting at $499 per month
