Flat Fees. No Commission. Ever.
Most agencies make more money when your ad spend goes up, whether or not you get better results. We don't. Here's exactly what everything costs.
Our Pricing Philosophy
Most agencies charge a percentage of your ad spend to manage it, typically 10-20%.
That means their revenue grows when your budget grows, regardless of whether results actually improve.
It's a structural conflict of interest, even when nobody intends to mislead anyone.
Verdalta charges a flat fee.
Your ad budget is prepaid directly to us and passed to Google, Meta, or Bing dollar-for-dollar, reconciled every month, with any unspent balance credited forward or refunded.
Our fee doesn't change whether your budget is $500 or $15,000, because the only thing we're optimizing for is what actually works for you.
