Most business owners don't know the answer, and that's not their fault. Agencies are built to keep it complicated.
I've managed 77 ad accounts across clinics, restaurants, D2C, and local stores. I teach you to read the numbers yourself.
Marketing isn't about being seen everywhere. It's about being found by the right person at the right moment.

Rates vary enormously by market. A US or UK freelancer typically charges several times what an India-based one does for the same work, and most price either a flat monthly retainer or a percentage of ad spend. What matters more than the rate is what's included. Ask three things of anyone you consider: who owns the ad account, do you get raw dashboard access, and does the reporting show cost per lead or just impressions.
