PLANS AND PRICING

Advertiser acknowledges and agrees to the following:

The Approved Monthly Ad Spend is a budget set by the Advertiser.
All Approved Monthly Ad Spend spend is charged separately from the Monthly Management Fee that StarterPPC bills to the Advertiser. Approved Monthly Ad Spend is paid by the Advertiser directly to the advertising network(s).
The Advertiser is responsible for defining Advertiser’s Approved Monthly Ad Spend. Any changes to the Approved Monthly Ad Spend spend must be approved by the Advertiser in writing.

CALL TRACKING SOFTWARE

StarterPPC will use a call tracking number to track the length of incoming calls. Any calls lasting longer than 60 seconds are automatically counted as a lead in Google Ads.

Advertiser has the option of providing their own call tracking number instead. Incoming calls will need to be sent to Google Ads either through an integration or by Advertiser providing spreadsheets with incoming call lead data periodically (which StarterPPC will upload into Google Ads on behalf of the Advertiser). If Advertiser chooses this option, Advertiser is responsible for providing incoming call data so that Google and StarterPPC team will be able to see how many leads came from ads. Advertiser understands that refusing to provide call data may inhibit the ability to properly manage and optimize the campaign.
