Google Ads pricing

Bands below are agency fees, exclusive of media spend. The exact tier depends on the scope, the channels in play, and the cadence you want.

Fit check

Is Google Ads a fit for you?

Honesty on fit before pricing. We turn down ~30% of inbound audits because the timing, runway, or product situation doesn't match the service. Better to read this section than to discover the mismatch three months in.

Built for
  • Businesses with proven product-market fit ready to scale acquisition
  • D2C, SaaS, service businesses with documented unit economics
  • Teams ready to give viewer access to Google Ads + GA4 + CRM from day one
  • Brands with a working landing-page system (or willing to fix it as part of the engagement)
Not the right fit
  • Pre-PMF businesses still validating the product or pricing
  • Categories where Google Search has minimal demand (early-category creation work belongs to Meta + content first)
  • Brands with sub-₹50k/month total media budget — Google's algos need volume to learn

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How much does google ads cost in India in 2026?

Frameleads google ads runs in three tiers — Starter (₹1.5L–₹3L/mo), Scale (₹3L–₹8L/mo), Enterprise (₹8L+/mo) — exclusive of media spend. Total monthly investment (fees + media) typically runs 3–5× fees for paid services and 1× for organic/lifecycle services. The right tier depends on your stage, the channels in play, and the cadence you want. Average CAC for this category sits in the 400–35,000 ₹ band; see the pricing breakdown below for what each tier includes.

How long until google ads shows results?

14–45 days. Performance-channel signal arrives fastest; organic and compounding loops take 4-9 months. We track ROAS, CPL, blended CAC as the leading indicator from week 2 so direction-of-travel is visible before quarterly reviews. Anyone promising you significant returns in week 1 is selling, not forecasting.

Is google ads right for my business right now?

See the fit-check section below — it's the honest answer for google ads. About 30% of inbound audits don't proceed because the timing, runway, or product situation doesn't match the service. We tell prospects that openly. The five-minute version: google ads is a fit when you have proven product-market fit, ≥6 months of runway, and a clear north-star metric. Read the full criteria below before booking.

What's different about Frameleads' google ads?

Three operational differences: (1) the same senior operator works on your account weekly, not just at kickoff — junior media buyers run execution under senior supervision. (2) Attribution stack always includes server-side instrumentation (CAPI / GTM Server-Side / GA4) — no Meta-Pixel-only reporting. (3) Creative supply pipeline ships 20-50 variants/month minimum at Scale tier — the highest-leverage variable in paid media in 2026. The full methodology is documented openly on the Frameleads Growth System™ pillar.

Do you guarantee ROAS, lead volume, or revenue?

No. ROAS depends on product, AOV, audience, market dynamics, and creative execution — none of which the agency fully controls. We commit to execution standards (creative variants per month, attribution rigor, reporting cadence, transparency on ad accounts) — not specific outcomes. Anyone in this category promising you a specific future ROAS in writing is selling, not forecasting. Walk away from guarantees.

What happens if we want to leave?

30 days written notice, in either direction. On exit we transfer ad accounts + creative source files + analytics dashboards + documented SOPs to your in-house team. We expect clients to outgrow us in 18-24 months and move google ads in-house — that's healthy, not a failure mode. Lock-in contracts signal weak operators. See /how-we-audit for the engagement onboarding + exit flow.

Will the senior operator I meet at the audit actually run my account?

Yes — that's a policy, not a sales line. The audit is run by a senior Frameleads operator (a senior strategist or practice lead). The same person stays on the account through the engagement, with junior media buyers / content producers handling execution under their direction. We hold senior-operator load at 3-4 active retainers per person so attention scales.
