Pricing · Published, not gated

Real prices. On the homepage. Because hiding pricing is a tactic, not a value.

Two published plans plus a custom option. Smaller base + 5% performance fee on Shopify revenue above $50K. The math only works for both of us if your business actually grows.

Two plans + Custom · Pick what fits

Same model. One channel or both.Custom if you're outside the standard scope.

Both plans are base + 5% performance fee on Shopify revenue above $50K. Same architecture, same reporting, same operator running it daily — the only difference between them is which channels we manage.

The math, with real numbers

Here's what you'd actually pay at 3 revenue scenarios.

Performance fee is 5% of monthly Shopify-attributed revenue above $50K. Numbers below show how the fee scales at three different revenue levels.

SINGLE CHANNEL · $80K Shopify rev
Moderate growth5% × ($80K − $50K) = $1,500
Base fee$2,500
Performance fee$1,500
Effective % of revenue5.0%
Total / month$4,000
COMBINED · $120K Shopify rev
Strong growth5% × ($120K − $50K) = $3,500
Base fee$3,500
Performance fee$3,500
Effective % of revenue5.8%
Total / month$7,000
COMBINED · $200K Shopify rev
Scaling fast5% × ($200K − $50K) = $7,500
Base fee$3,500
Performance fee$7,500
Effective % of revenue5.5%
Total / month$11,000

The fee scales predictably — no surprises as you grow. As Shopify revenue grows, the effective total as a % of revenue actually decreases because the base stays flat while revenue compounds.

What you're paying for · what you're not

Specific about scope. No surprise upsells.

Most agencies stay vague on scope so they can charge more later. Here's exactly what's included in every tier — and what isn't.

What's included · every tier

  • Daily account management by Madhukar
  • Profit Stack architecture (4-layer)
  • PMax with brand exclusions + NCA goal
  • Search-terms management, weekly
  • Meta funnel: CBO + ASC + Testing + DPA
  • Purchaser exclusions on every campaign
  • Creative briefs, format direction, hook structure
  • Pixel + CAPI + GA4 + Enhanced Conversions audit + fix
  • Google Merchant Center feed health
  • Bid strategy calibration to CM2
  • Monthly Shopify-attributed P&L report
  • Kill Criteria 1-pager (signed pre-kickoff)

What's NOT included

  • Creative production (UGC, video editing, design)
  • Landing page design or development
  • Email/SMS marketing (Klaviyo, Postscript)
  • SEO or organic content
  • Influencer outreach or affiliate programs
  • TikTok, Pinterest, Snapchat ads
  • Amazon ads or Walmart Connect
  • Site speed optimization (CRO is recommendations only)
  • Third-party tools paid by us (TripleWhale, Northbeam, etc.)
  • Setup fees, kill fees, claw-backs
  • Hidden line items at month 3 or 6
  • Fee increases for "additional services"

Need creative production or CRO? I'll recommend partners I've worked with for years. You pay them directly — I don't markup.

Terms · how the engagement actually works

How we de-risk the agreement on day one.

Every objection you have ("what if it doesn't work?", "what if I want out?", "what if I can't afford the upside?") has a specific mechanism baked into the contract.

$0

No setup fee, ever

Most agencies charge $1K–$3K to start. We don't. The audit ($499) is the only entry-point cost — and it credits to month-1.

90d

90-day initial · then month-to-month

The 90 days exists because real Google + Meta work doesn't move material numbers in 30 days. After that, 30-day written exit, anytime.

5%

5% performance fee on Shopify revenue above $50K

You only pay the performance fee on revenue that exceeds $50K/mo — measured against real Shopify revenue, not platform-reported numbers. The fee scales linearly: $80K revenue → $1,500 fee. $120K → $3,500 fee. Below $50K, the performance fee is zero.

$499 audit credited to month-1

If you sign within 14 days of the audit, the $499 fully deducts from your month-1 fee. The audit pays for itself, either way.

KC

Kill Criteria pre-kickoff

Signed 1-pager listing what must be true (LP speed, AOV, gross margin, offer, creative pipeline). Bad-fit blockers surface before launch.

No claw-backs, no kill fees

Leaving doesn't trigger penalties. We hand off accounts cleanly to whoever picks up next. Goodwill is the only retention strategy that compounds.

Pricing FAQ

Pricing-specific questions.

For service-specific questions, see Google Ads or Meta Ads pages.

Why is your base lower than US ecommerce ad agencies?

Geography, not discount. India-based cost structure makes a $2,500/mo (Single Channel) or $3,500/mo (Combined) base profitable while a US senior media buyer in-house earns $10K–$15K/mo loaded. The math only works for both sides if your business actually grows — that's why the model is base + performance share. If we don't grow you, our base is below most senior US in-house hires.

What is the performance fee tied to, exactly?

Shopify-attributed monthly revenue above the tier threshold. Not platform-reported ROAS. Not Google Ads or Meta Ads attributed conversions. Real Shopify revenue you can pull from your Shopify Reports → Sales by traffic referrer report. We reconcile against this monthly. If you don't run Shopify, talk to us first — case-by-case.

Why is performance fee tied to total Shopify revenue, not "incremental"?

Because "incremental" is impossible to measure cleanly without 12+ months of holdout testing or marketing-mix modelling — and most agencies that promise incremental measurement are guessing. Total Shopify revenue is auditable. If your total revenue grows, ads played a role. If it doesn't grow, the performance fee stays at zero.

What's the difference between Single Channel and Combined?

Scope of channels. Single Channel ($2,500/mo) covers Google Ads or Meta Ads. Combined ($3,500/mo) covers both. Everything else — methodology, reporting cadence, SLA, the senior operator running your account — is identical. The performance fee is the same on both: 5% of Shopify revenue above $50K.

What happens if revenue drops month-over-month?

Performance fee scales down with revenue. On the Combined plan at $120K/mo Shopify rev, total is $7,000. If next month is $80K, total drops to $5,000. On Single Channel at $80K, total would be $4,000. We share the downside. (Compare flat retainers — those stay $8K regardless.)

What does the performance fee look like at higher revenue?

The 5% rate stays the same at every revenue level — it only applies to revenue above $50K. At $150K/mo Shopify revenue, the performance fee is 5% × $100K = $5,000. At $200K, it's $7,500. The fee scales predictably, and the effective total as a % of revenue actually decreases as you grow — because the base stays flat while revenue compounds.

When does the Custom plan apply?

For brands above $150K/mo Shopify revenue, multi-store or multi-region operations, or anything outside the Single Channel ($2,500) or Combined ($3,500) scope (e.g. bespoke attribution model, non-Shopify platforms, monthly ad spend > $75K). Same alignment principle — base + 5% performance fee — but priced around your actual setup rather than a published plan.

Can I pay annually upfront for a discount?

No. The reason: the model is performance-aligned monthly. Locking you into 12 months upfront undermines the alignment — you could disengage me and I'd still get paid. Month-to-month after the 90-day initial keeps both sides honest.

What if my account is below $15K/mo ad spend minimum?

$15K/mo is the minimum on both Single Channel and Combined. Below that, the math doesn't work for either side — your account doesn't have enough conversion volume for the methodology to compound, and the base fee becomes too large a % of total spend. If you're below $15K/mo but on a path to it, we can talk — case-by-case.
