One of the most common questions we get at Credo about PPC firms is how they price their work. Over the years I’ve published some musings (and a response) about PPC pricing. While I have my own thoughts about pricing (and those have changed over the years), I thought it would be helpful to know how PPC firms price their work. To do this, in our recent digital marketing pricing survey I asked all respondents how they price their PPC work….
At Credo, we have helped over 6,500+ businesses, and spoken with many more, over the last few years to get them introduced to qualified digital agencies and then help them make the right decision about who to hire.

The question is: does this pricing strategy create a recipe for client-agency disaster? Or, can…
When most people start consulting on their own (and subsequently hire people and start an agency), they charge too little. Don’t be embarrassed – everyone does it. When I did my first freelance consulting projects in 2011/2012, I charged $50 per hour and was billing hourly.
