The Paid Growth Plan: Lead Generation for One Flat Monthly Fee
Our lead generation pricing is $1,000 a month for one ad platform, or $1,500 for Google and
Meta, plus your ad spend. New Paid Growth clients pay $900 or $1,350 a month for their first 3 months.
Paid Growth is A2Z MKTG's lead generation plan for contractors and local service businesses.
You get Google or Meta ads built around your best jobs, plus a CRM that follows up on every lead.
Your first month covers setup and a professional promo video shoot.
In the 30 days after we put the owner on camera in his Facebook ads, our deck builder client paid
$47.60 per booked estimate. Over the 136 days before, it paid $88.64.

Where Paid Growth Fits
Step 1 · You are herePaid Growth
Ads and follow-up that book estimates.
Step 2 · Once leads are flowingYour Website
A site built to turn more clicks into calls. $1,500 to $9,500.
Ads, follow-up and reporting, run as one system. Paid leads cost too much to lose to a missed call, so the follow-up comes built in.
Month 1 includes a professional promo video. A pro
videographer films you on camera. It's the same style of owner video that cut our deck builder
client's cost per booked estimate nearly in half, from $88.64 to $47.60.
We quote more video and photo shoots per project.
AI receptionist that answers the calls you miss and books estimates
Past-customer campaigns and text message campaigns
Seasonal and promo campaign blasts
Estimate follow-up that chases the quote so you don't have to

How Much Does Lead Generation Cost? One Flat Fee Plus Ad Spend
Paid Growth is $1,000 a month for one ad platform, or $1,500 for Google and Meta. Ad spend is separate, at least $750 a month, paid straight to the platforms.
Management Fee
Flat monthly fee
$1,000 or $1,500/mo
It's $1,000 a month when we run one ad platform, Google or Meta. If you only want Meta, this
works as a Meta ads management plan, with CRM follow-up built in. It's $1,500 a month when we
run Google and Meta together. There's a 3-month minimum, then it runs month to month with 30
days' notice.
Ad Spend
Paid straight to Google and Meta
From $750/mo
The minimum is $750 a month, so campaigns get enough data to learn. Trades like roofing and
HVAC usually need more. We'll recommend a budget for your market on our first call.
First Month
No separate setup fee
Setup + promo video
Your first month's fee covers setup and one professional promo video shoot with a pro videographer.
The plan also includes $25 a month of CRM usage credits for calls, AI, texts and email. We
bill anything above that at cost.
All-in cost: At the minimums, one platform runs $1,650 a
month for months 1 to 3 ($900 fee plus $750 ad spend), then $1,750. Google and Meta together run
$2,100, then $2,250. CRM usage over the $25 monthly credit is extra.
How fast: Ads go live within 2 to 4 weeks. The
clock starts once we have all your marketing materials and have shot your promo video. Local
Services Ads also wait on Google to verify your business.
Here's exactly what happens after you reach out, and what we need from you along the way.
01
Fill Out the Form
It takes about a minute. Tell us your trade, which ads you want and your budget.
02
We Call You Within 1 Business Day
A 30-minute talk about your trade, your area, your budget and what a booked job is worth to you. If Paid Growth isn't a fit yet, we'll say so.
03
Sign and Send Your Materials
Your Service Order locks in the 10%. Then you send your logo, photos of past jobs, the towns you want and access to your ad accounts. No ad accounts yet? We set them up in your name.
04
Shoot Your Promo Video
A professional videographer films you on camera in your first month. The video runs in your ads, and it stays yours.
05
Your Ads Go Live
Within 2 to 4 weeks of having your materials and your video. Google's Local Services Ads also wait on Google to verify your business, which can take longer.
06
We Tune It Every Month
Every lead lands in your CRM with its source. We cut what costs too much per booked job, move budget to what books, and walk you through the numbers each month.
05Who It's For
The Plan for Businesses That Need the Phone Ringing
Paid Growth fits when waiting costs you money. Maybe the calendar has gaps, you want to break into a new area, or shared-lead sites are bleeding you dry.
You Need Booked Jobs This Season
SEO takes months to build. Ads can go live within weeks, so this is the path when the calendar has gaps now.
You're Done Renting Leads From Shared-Lead Sites
Shared-lead sites sell the same homeowner to several contractors at once. Your own campaigns bring leads that are yours alone, from ad accounts in your name.
Your Jobs Can Carry the Ad Spend
It fits a business with a clear service and jobs worth enough to pay for ads. You'll also need room on the calendar and someone who calls leads back fast.
Paid Growth Results: $88.64 to $47.60 per Booked Estimate
One deck builder, same ad account, now with an owner video pointed at a quiz page, and 46% less per booked estimate.
$47.60
per booked estimate, Aug 16 to Sep 14, 2026 (was $88.64)
19 of 41
leads booked an estimate, at $22.06 a lead
92%
of the campaign's spend went to one owner video
In the 30 days after we put the owner on camera and pointed the ads at a quiz page, our deck builder
client paid $47.60 for each booked estimate. That's $904.47 of Meta spend,
41 leads in his CRM and 19 estimate appointments on the calendar. Over the previous 136 days on
the same ad account, $3,811.35 bought 130 leads and 43 booked estimates, or $88.64 each.
One video of the owner carried 92% of the campaign spend, $836.20 of $904.47, and produced
every lead the campaign generated.
Leads got cheaper too. Cost per lead fell 25%, from $29.32 to $22.06.
Most booked the same day: 15 of the 19 had the estimate on the calendar the day they came in.
How we counted: Leads are CRM contacts. Booked
means an estimate appointment that was not cancelled. A deal at Estimate Scheduled or later also counts.
Spend comes from the Meta ad account. Dates: April 2 to August 15, 2026, then August 16 to
September 14, 2026.
After Paid Growth: Your Website, Then Organic Growth
The Paid Growth plan is the first step. Two more build on it, and your ads keep running through both.
Step 2 · Once leads are flowing
A Website Built for the Leads You're Already Getting
Step 2 is a site built to turn the visits your ads send into calls. Builds run $1,500 to $9,500, and you own the site. For a Paid Growth client, every build includes:
Google Business Profile optimization
A hookup to the CRM your ads already feed
Google Analytics and Search Console
The Meta Pixel, when we run Meta ads
You pay 50% when we agree on scope, 25% at review and 25% at launch.
Paid Growth keeps running. Organic Growth builds your place in Google Maps and search with:
Google Business Profile posts and optimization
Citations, your business listings on other sites
Social media posts
SEO upkeep and a monthly report
Help if your Google profile gets suspended
It's $1,000 a month, or $750 while you're also on Paid Growth. It runs on websites we build. It has its own 3-month minimum and usually runs 3 months on, 3 months off, or it can run nonstop. If you pause Paid Growth later, Organic Growth can keep running on its own at $1,000 a month.
Paid Growth FAQs: Lead Generation Pricing and Terms
Straight answers on price, terms, the 10% offer and what happens after you reach out.
How much does the Paid Growth plan cost?
A2Z MKTG's Paid Growth plan is $1,000 a month for one ad platform, Google or Meta, or $1,500 a month for both. Ad spend is separate, paid straight to Google and Meta. The minimum is $750 a month, so your campaigns get enough data to learn.
How does the 10% off work?
New Paid Growth clients pay 10% less for their first 3 months: $900 a month for one platform, or $1,350 for Google and Meta. From month 4 it's $1,000 or $1,500. The discount covers our management fee only. You pay ad spend straight to Google or Meta.
Who gets the 10% off?
Any business that isn't on Paid Growth today, whether you found us on Google, through an ad or by phone. Website clients who add ads get it too. There's no code. Your Service Order locks in the price.
Is there a setup fee?
No. Your first month's fee covers setup and one professional promo video shoot with a pro videographer. The plan also includes $25 a month of CRM usage credits for calls, AI, texts and email. We bill anything above that at cost.
How much should I spend on ads?
At least $750 a month in total, paid straight to Google or Meta. On the Google and Meta plan, we split it across both. Trades like roofing and HVAC usually need more to compete. We recommend a budget for your market on our first call.
Should I run Google ads, Meta ads or both?
Google reaches people searching for your service right now. Where your trade qualifies, we start with Local Services Ads, then add tight Search campaigns. Meta (Facebook and Instagram) reaches homeowners before they search, and it's where your promo video works hardest. Many clients start with one and add the other later.
Is Paid Growth a PPC retainer with a contract?
Yes. It's a monthly retainer for your paid ads, with a 3-month minimum. After that, it runs month to month with 30 days' notice. Three months gives your ads time to learn which ones book jobs.
Can I cancel in the first 3 months?
Yes, but the 3-month minimum still applies. You pay half of your monthly fee for each month left in the first 3. After month 3, you can cancel any time with 30 days' notice.
How fast will my ads go live?
Within 2 to 4 weeks of the day we have all your marketing materials and have shot your promo video. The clock starts then, not at signing. Local Services Ads also wait on Google to verify your business. The first weeks are a learning period, so we space out big changes.
What do you need from me to get started?
Your logo, photos of past jobs, the services and towns you want to target, and access to your ad accounts. If you don't have ad accounts yet, we set them up in your name. You also need time on camera for your promo video.
Who films the promo video?
A professional videographer we partner with films it in your first month, with you on camera. The video runs in your ads, and it stays yours. We quote more video and photo shoots per project.
How do leads reach me, and how fast do they hear back?
Every lead lands in your CRM with its name, phone, source and status, and you get an instant alert. The CRM texts back missed calls and follows up by text and email on its own. On Paid Growth, an AI receptionist can also answer the calls you miss and book estimates.
What are the CRM usage credits?
The plan includes $25 a month of credits for the calls, AI, texts and emails your CRM sends. Usage above that is billed at cost, with no markup.
How will I know if it is working?
You get a report every month with ad spend, leads, booked estimates and what each booked job cost, plus a 30-minute strategy call. The ad accounts are yours, so you can check the numbers any time.
Who owns the ad accounts?
You do. The ad accounts are in your name, and you pay the platforms directly. You can raise or lower your spend any time above the $750 minimum without changing our fee. If you leave, the accounts and the data stay with you. No lock-in.
Can I lower my ad spend in the slow season?
Yes. You can raise or lower your ad spend any time, as long as it stays at $750 a month or more, and our fee doesn't change. After the 3-month minimum, the plan runs month to month with 30 days' notice.
Do you guarantee results?
No. Nobody can honestly promise a number of leads before your ads run, because it depends on your trade, your area and your budget. What we do promise is the setup, the follow-up on every lead, and a monthly report that shows what each booked job cost.
I tried ads before and lost money. Why would this be different?
We judge every campaign on cost per booked job, not cost per click or cost per lead. Every lead lands in your CRM with its source, so we can see which ads book estimates and cut the ones that don't. You'll see the real numbers every month.
What kinds of businesses is Paid Growth for?
Local service businesses across Will, Cook and DuPage counties, mostly trades and home services. It fits when your jobs are worth enough to carry the ad spend, you have room on the calendar, and someone can call leads back fast.
Can I add Organic Growth later?
Yes, once we've built your website. Organic Growth is $1,000 a month, or $750 while you're also on Paid Growth. We usually add it once your site is live and leads are steady.
What happens after I fill out the form?
We call you within 1 business day for a 30-minute talk about your trade, your area, your budget and what a booked job is worth to you. If Paid Growth fits, we send a Service Order with the 10% off and your start date. If it doesn't fit yet, we'll tell you.
