Pricing
The management fee is a fraction of the ad budget it is managing. If your budget is below the floor for a tier, the tier is wrong for you — and we will say so on the call rather than take the retainer.
Starter
$3,000/month
One channel, one offer. For businesses spending $8k–$20k a month on ads.
Thirty days' notice, no exit fee
Growth
$5,000/month
Both channels, weekly creative. For businesses spending $20k–$50k a month on ads.
Thirty days' notice, no exit fee
Scale
$7,000/month
Full account ownership with creative production. For businesses spending $50k+ a month on ads.
Thirty days' notice, no exit fee
Ninety-day trial
A retainer asks you to trust a number before you have seen the work. The trial does not. Pick the tier you think you need, pay for ninety days up front at the price below, and you see the full build, the weekly reporting and the creative cadence before you sign anything ongoing. If you continue, the trial fee is credited against your first two months of the retainer.
Starter trial
$5,000/90 days
The Starter scope, run for a full quarter.
Credited against the first two retainer months if you continue
Growth trial
$7,500/90 days
The Growth scope, both channels, for a full quarter.
Credited against the first two retainer months if you continue
Scale trial
$10,500/90 days
The Scale scope with a named operator, for a full quarter.
Credited against the first two retainer months if you continue
Not ready for a retainer
If you want a second opinion before handing over an account, take the audit. Your account structure, tracking, creative and landing pages, reviewed and written up — with what is broken and what we would fix first.
If it turns into a retainer, the audit fee is credited against your first month. If it does not, you keep the document and can hand it to anyone.
One-off
Quoted per account
Priced once, in writing, after we have seen the account. Written audit delivered within five business days.
Credited against your first month if you continue
Before you pick
No. The fee is for management only. Ad spend goes directly from your card to Meta and Google on your own accounts — we never hold your budget.
No minimum term and no exit fee: thirty days' written notice, effective at the end of the billing period in which it expires. The ninety-day trial is the exception — that one is a fixed three-month term at a fixed price, because ninety days is the shortest window in which a campaign tells you anything true.
We show you the numbers weekly, so nobody is surprised at the end. If a campaign is not producing after a fair test, we tell you what we would change and if we believe it is fixable. We will not take a fourth month to find the answer.
You do. Ad account, pixel, creative files, landing pages and domain all sit in your name. If you leave, nothing has to be migrated or rebuilt.
Not all of them. Categories with heavy ad-policy restrictions or thin margins after cost per acquisition do not work with this model, and we would rather say so on the first call.
By card, in advance. Monthly retainers are charged each month on the same day; the ninety-day trial is charged once, up front, as a single payment. The audit is a one-off payment at the price quoted in your proposal. Invoices are issued from Xmediabuy with the plan name on them, and cancelling a retainer is in writing to [email protected], thirty days before your next renewal.
Then price is not the question — the work is. Most owners at this spend are paying for reporting and getting little else. Ask your current agency three things: how many new creatives shipped last month, which campaign the budget moved out of and why, and what one booked job cost. If those answers take a week to produce, or do not exist, that is the gap we close.
That is the call. Twenty minutes and we will tell you which one your budget actually supports.
