How Our Pricing Works
Management Fee
You pay Symaxx a flat monthly fee for strategy, creative, optimisation, and reporting. This is predictable and doesn't change with ad spend.
Ad Spend (Separate)
You pay Google, Meta, or LinkedIn directly for clicks and impressions. You maintain full control and visibility of your ad spend at all times.
No Hidden Costs
No setup fees, no creative surcharges, no tracking charges. The management fee covers everything we do. If we recommend a tool or platform, we tell you before any cost.

Marketing Pricing FAQs
Common questions about our pricing and packages.
What's included in the management fee?
Our management fee covers everything: strategy development, campaign setup, ongoing optimisation, all creative production (images, video, copywriting), conversion tracking setup, and monthly reporting. There are no hidden fees — you pay the management fee plus your ad spend directly to the platform.
Do I pay ad spend separately?
Yes. Ad spend goes directly to the advertising platform (Google, Meta, LinkedIn) — you maintain full control and ownership of your ad accounts. Our management fee is separate and covers all the work we do to make that ad spend perform.
Is there a minimum contract period?
We recommend a 3-month minimum commitment to allow sufficient time for campaign learning, optimisation, and meaningful results. After the initial period, contracts are on a month-to-month basis with 30 days notice. Results speak louder than lock-in contracts — our 97% retention rate proves that.
Can I change my package or add channels?
Yes — packages can be adjusted monthly. Many clients start with a single channel, prove ROI, and then expand to multi-channel campaigns. We'll proactively recommend expansion when the data supports it.
Do you really create all the creative?
Yes — it's included in every package. We produce all ad imagery, carousel designs, video scripts and editing, motion graphics, and ad copywriting in-house. No separate creative agency fees. If you have existing brand assets, we incorporate them too.
What's the difference between management fee and ad spend?
Management fee = what you pay Symaxx for strategy, creative, optimisation, and reporting. Ad spend = what you pay Google/Meta/LinkedIn for clicks and impressions. Both are necessary. We recommend specific ad spend levels based on your goals and industry.
Do I own my ad accounts?
100% yes. All ad accounts, conversion data, and audience data belong to you. We access through manager accounts. If you ever leave, everything stays with you.
What if I have a smaller budget?
Our Starter package begins at R4,000/month for single-channel management. For very early-stage businesses, we can provide a one-off audit and strategy document (from R5,000) that you or your team can implement. We believe in right-sizing — not overselling.
