What Indian companies publish.
Each line is from the company’s own page, read on 19 October 2026. The management fee is what the company charges. Ad spend is paid to Google or Meta and is on top. These are asking prices, not a measure of what any company delivers.

Why the range is so wide.
This is our reading of it, not a published rule.
- Percentage or flat. A percentage fee rises with your budget whether or not the work does. A flat fee does not. Ask which you are being quoted, and what it is a percentage of.
- How many platforms. Google search, Meta and YouTube each need their own set-up and weekly attention. More platforms is more work.
- Tracking. Counting calls, WhatsApp messages and sales properly takes work at the start, and everything after depends on it. A cheap price may skip it.
- Set-up fees. One guide lists one-time set-up fees on top of the monthly fee. Ask whether one applies.
- Provider type. Freelancers, boutique agencies and large agencies price in different bands, and differ in reporting and in who you deal with.
What ours includes.
- From ₹40,000 a month, plus GST where it applies.
- A fixed monthly fee, never a percentage of your ad spend, so we have no reason to tell you to spend more.
- A tracking check first: calls, WhatsApp taps, forms and sales. We do not take a budget until it works.
- Campaigns planned with you, built paused, and launched only on your yes.
- Weekly checks, with a campaign paused straight away if its page is broken, it is buying nothing or it passes its budget ceiling.
- A monthly report of what you spent, what came back and what we changed. Ad spend is paid to the platforms from your own account.
Ad spend is separate and is yours. How much is needed for Google to learn from is worked out on the free call, and we say so if your budget is too small. More on the service: Google Ads, PPC and performance marketing in India.
Questions.
How much does Google Ads management cost in India?
Indian companies publish management fees from about ₹8,000 to ₹75,000 a month for small and mid-sized businesses, or 10% to 20% of ad spend. Ours starts at ₹40,000 a month plus GST where it applies, fixed whatever you spend. Your ad spend is separate.
Is ad spend included in the management fee?
No. Ad spend is paid directly to Google or Meta and is on top of any management fee. Ask every company whether a quoted figure includes it, because some do not say.
Is a percentage of ad spend better than a flat fee?
A percentage fee grows with your budget whether or not the work does, so the company earns more when you spend more. Ours is flat, so we have no reason to ask you to spend more.
What budget do I need to start?
Enough for the platform to learn from. We work out the number for your service on the free call and tell you if yours is too small, rather than taking it anyway.
Whose account are the ads in?
Yours. You own the Google Ads and Meta accounts, pay the platforms directly, and keep everything if you stop.
