My Search Campaign Budget Model

informational offers (lower value)• Low Funnel Keywords = more competition but higher QS and

5. How Budget Impacts PPC Management Model
![Page 36: Are You Spending Your PPC Budget Wisely?](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022060108/554ceb5db4c905ae138b474d/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Example 1: Lower PPC Budget
3636&
– Assume $2500 / month PPC Spend– So, $30k / year PPC budget– Hiring a Dedicated PPC Manager for
$60k / year would TRIPLE your PPC spend– Agencies Typically Charge as a Percentage
of Ad Spend (e.g.: 10%) so $250 / month – No Agency will take on a client for $250 /
month.– Only options are DIY and Software like
WordStream, etc.
![Page 37: Are You Spending Your PPC Budget Wisely?](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022060108/554ceb5db4c905ae138b474d/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Example 2: Higher PPC Budget
3737&
– Assume $50k/ month PPC Spend– So, $600k / year PPC budget– Hiring a Dedicated PPC Manager for
$60k / year would be 10% of PPC budget– Agencies would also Charge around 10%
of ad spend– Totally realistic to expect > 10%
