Fee vs Ad Spend: What You Pay For
Your total monthly cost has two parts: the agency fee (planning, setup, creative, optimisation, reporting) and the ad budget, which you pay directly to the platforms through accounts you own. We never mark up or hold your ad spend.
What Drives Ad Spend for Car Businesses?
- Competition: popular searches such as “rent a car Dubai” or well-known car brands attract more advertisers, which pushes up cost per click.
- Cities covered: running Dubai and Abu Dhabi as separate campaigns needs enough budget for each.
- Car type and value: luxury cars and new-car models can justify higher cost per lead than economy rentals.
- Season: tourist peaks and launch periods raise demand and competition.
- Follow-up quality: fast replies turn more leads into sales, which lowers your real cost per sale.
What Affects the Management or SEO Fee?
- Number of channels (Google, Meta, TikTok, Snapchat) and campaigns.
- Number of branches, showrooms or locations.
- Languages (English and Arabic).
- Creative needs such as video and landing pages.
- Inventory feeds and CRM integrations.
How to Judge Whether Marketing Is Worth It
Compare total cost (fee plus ad spend) with the bookings, test drives and sales it brings. We report cost per booking or per test drive every month so you can see that directly.
