Pricing
How much does SocialLynx cost?
We are open to being paid on performance with a starting fee or minimum. SocialLynx works month to month, so there is no long-term contract.
The number depends on your ad spend, which channels SocialLynx runs, and the result you agree to measure. Every engagement starts with a free audit, so you see what would change before you commit to anything.

How is performance marketing agency pricing structured?
Agencies charge in four common ways: by the hour, by the project, with a monthly retainer, or on performance with a starting fee or minimum. Each one puts the risk in a different place.
| Pricing model | How you pay | Best for | What to watch |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hourly | You pay for the time the agency spends. | A one-off question, a small fix, or an expert second opinion. | The cost grows with hours, not results, so there is little reason to work faster. |
| Project | One fixed fee for a defined piece of work, such as an account audit or a program build. | A clear, one-time job with an end date. | The work stops when the scope ends. Ongoing management is not included. |
| Monthly retainer | A set fee every month for ongoing management. | Brands that want steady management and a predictable bill. | The fee is the same whether results go up or down. Check what is included and how long the term is. |
| Performance-based, with a starting fee or minimum How SocialLynx works | A starting fee or minimum, with the rest of the fee tied to results you agree on up front. | Brands already spending on Google Ads or affiliate that want the agency paid for outcomes. | Agree what counts as a result before you start, so you pay for new customers and not for sales that would have happened anyway. |
SocialLynx is open to the last model, because it ties the fee to results rather than hours or deliverables.
What decides the price?
Four things set the number SocialLynx quotes you.
Your ad spend
How much you spend on Google Ads and affiliate, and how much of it SocialLynx manages.
Which channels SocialLynx runs
Google Ads, affiliate, or both.
Whether your affiliate program needs a rebuild
A rebuild means unwinding the old setup and recruiting or repairing relationships with top-of-funnel publishers.
The result you agree to measure
New-customer revenue, incrementality, or whichever KPI you decide counts most.

- You're a startup or a SaaS company.

An hourly rate pays for time and a retainer pays for a month of management, whatever the results. SocialLynx is open to being paid on performance with a starting fee or minimum, so most of the fee follows the result you agree on up front.
Yes. We audit your Google Ads, your affiliate program and the rest of the budget. You see where spend is buying customers you already had before you agree to anything.
No. SocialLynx works month to month. If SocialLynx isn't what's best for your business, you should move on. With affiliate, expect a two-month grace period while it unwinds and rebuilds the program.
A free audit, an agreed definition of a new customer, budget moved from what isn't bringing in new customers to what is, and a report on new-customer revenue. Google Ads shows value inside a week, and certainly within a month. An affiliate program takes about two months, because SocialLynx unwinds the old setup and rebuilds it with top-of-funnel publishers first.
