Meta Ads agency Delhi NCR quotes start near u20b912,000 a month and most stop short of u20b940,000. At a u20b950,000 total budget, about u20b934,000 should leave as media spend on Facebook and Instagram, and u20b912,000 to u20b916,000 stays with the agency as its fee. Creative production takes the rest unless you shoot video in house, and tool costs stay near zero until you cross u20b95 lakh a month. That is the whole budget. Anyone quoting you less has either cut the creative or is about to ask for more.
| Line item | Monthly u20b9 | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| Media spend | 32,000u201336,000 | What Meta charges for the impressions |
| Agency fee | 12,000u201316,000 | Strategy, setup, daily management |
| Creative | 0u20136,000 | Video edits and static sets |
| Tools | 0u20131,500 | Reporting, usually free at this spend |
u20b950,000 buys one platform, run properly, with enough creative volume for the test to mean something. It does not buy Meta plus Google plus a website plus an SEO retainer. An agency that promises all four for this number has one person doing six jobs, and you will feel it in month two.
What the retainer actually pays for
A competent Meta Ads agency in Delhi NCR does five things. It builds the campaign structure, meaning the objective, the number of ad sets and how the budget splits between them. It writes and produces creative, or directs someone who does. It checks the account daily for the first month and weekly after that. It kills losing ad sets before they drain the budget. And it reports in numbers an owner can read, not a dashboard screenshot.
The daily part matters more than owners expect. Meta’s auction shifts. A set that produced leads at u20b9180 in week one can drift to u20b9400 by week three, and nobody notices until the monthly report. An agency that only looks on the last Friday is not managing your account. It is billing you for a login.
What the fee does not cover is your media spend. That is separate and it is the larger number. A u20b912,000 fee on u20b934,000 of spend looks like a bargain right up until the auction pushes your cost per thousand impressions from u20b9150 to u20b9260.
Three retainer models and when each fits
Meta Ads agency Delhi NCR fees follow one of three models, and they are not priced the same way.
Flat fee. You pay the same u20b915,000 whether you spend u20b940,000 or u20b91,50,000. This suits a business with a steady budget that does not want surprises. It stops suiting anyone the day the account needs twice the management time.
Percentage of spend. Common at 10% to 20% of media spend. At u20b950,000 spend, a 15% fee is u20b97,500, which is cheap. At u20b95 lakh spend it is u20b975,000, which is not, unless the agency genuinely earns it. This model rewards the agency for spending more of your money, so watch the incentive it creates.
Hybrid. A smaller base fee plus a percentage above a spend threshold. Most NCR agencies quietly run this one, and it is the fairest of the three when the base is real. Ask what the base covers before you sign anything.
What u20b925,000, u20b950,000 and u20b91 lakh a month buy
At u20b925,000 a month, run one platform and keep it simple. In a tight Delhi NCR audience at roughly u20b9170 CPM, that is about 150,000 impressions, which usually turns into 30 to 60 leads depending on how good the creative is. Do not split it across two platforms. You will get two half-managed accounts instead of one that works.
At u20b950,000 a month, the account gets serious. There is room for two or three creative concepts each month, which is the minimum for testing to tell you anything, and enough spend to exit Meta’s learning phase on at least one ad set.
At u20b91 lakh and above, run Meta and Google together, with different jobs. Meta creates demand. Google captures the searches you already lose. Split the budget 70/30 toward whichever produces a cheaper cost per qualified lead, and review that split every quarter.
Five checks before you sign
The Meta Ads agency Delhi NCR market is crowded, so check five things before you sign.
- Ask for the exact fee as a number, not a range. A quote that moves when you push is not a price, it is an opening offer.
- Ask who sees the ad account daily. If the answer is a freelancer you never meet, price that risk in.
- Ask for two client names in your category, then call them. A logo wall proves nothing.
- Ask what happens in a losing month. The answer should be a written plan, not reassurance.
- Check whether the agency runs Meta and Google under one roof. If it says yes, ask which it is better at. Most are better at one.
Questions owners ask
How much does a Meta Ads agency charge in Delhi NCR?
Most Meta Ads agency Delhi NCR options charge u20b912,000 to u20b940,000 a month for small and mid-sized accounts, plus your media spend. At a u20b950,000 total budget, the fee is usually u20b912,000 to u20b916,000. National agencies quote higher and mostly serve brands spending u20b910 lakh or more.
Is u20b950,000 a month enough for Meta Ads?
For one platform in one city, yes, if the creative is decent. It is not enough for both Meta and Google, and it is not enough if your product needs fresh video every week.
Can I run Meta Ads myself and skip the fee?
Yes, if you will spend four to six hours a week reviewing creative and results. Most owners stop doing that by month three. That is exactly when waste creeps in and nobody catches it.
How long before u20b950,000 a month shows results?
Expect three to six weeks to a stable cost per lead, assuming two or three creative concepts a month. Anyone promising leads in week one is selling a feeling.
Does the fee include creative?
Sometimes. Ask directly. If an agency charges u20b915,000 and also claims to produce three videos a month, one of those numbers is not real.
