Ready-to-use landing page, pricing tiers and onboarding kit for agencies and SMBs using Google’s 2026 total campaign budgets.

Stop babysitting Google Ads budgets — ship a ready-to-use landing page & launch kit that sells automation to agencies and SMBs

If you run ads for clients or manage ad spend for your own products, you know the pain: constant daily budget tweaks, missed opportunities during short promotions, and unpredictable billing. In 2026, Google's total campaign budgets (now available across Search, Shopping and Performance Max) let Google optimize spend across a campaign’s lifetime — but agencies and SMBs still need a productized offer and conversion-ready landing page to sell automation and get predictable revenue.

"Set a total campaign budget over days or weeks, letting Google optimize spend automatically and keep your campaigns on track without constant tweaks." — Google, Jan 2026

This guide delivers a complete launch kit: a high-converting landing page template, agency- and SMB-focused messaging, conversion-optimized pricing tiers, and automated onboarding flows tuned for the new total budget functionality. Use this to package a low-touch, recurring revenue offering that saves clients time and keeps performance steady.

Why this matters in 2026

Ad tech in 2026 is defined by three forces: automation, privacy-driven measurement, and client demand for predictable ROI. Google’s total campaign budgets remove one operational burden — daily budget management — freeing teams to buy automation instead of labor. Agencies that productize this as a specialist service capture recurring margins and reduce churn.

Less ops, more strategy: Clients prefer paying for outcomes, not hours. Position your offer as automated budget management + expert strategy.
Short-window campaigns are lucrative: Holiday sales, flash promotions, and product launches need reliable pacing over days or weeks.
Privacy & measurement: With server-side tagging and modeled conversions common in 2026, campaign budget pacing is a critical lever for consistent signal quality.

Core offer: What you sell (packaged)

Package a repeatable cloud-hosted service that combines automation around Google’s total campaign budgets with monitoring, reporting, and optional creative/ad copy services. Example offer components:

Automated Budget Pacing: Create or update campaigns to use Google’s total campaign budget setting and set time windows aligned with client goals.
Rules & Guards: Multi-layer safety rules (spend caps, ROAS thresholds, pause conditions) to avoid bad spend during anomalies.
Weekly Auto-Reports: Prebuilt dashboards and scheduled email reports showing spend pacing, projected vs actual spend, and ROAS.
On-demand Optimization Credits: Manual expert hours for creative testing, bidding strategy changes, or tracking fixes.
Self-service Portal: Web UI for clients to set campaign windows, budgets, and pause conditions (optional for higher tiers).

High-conversion landing page template (copy + structure)

Below is a ready-to-paste structure and copy blocks tuned for agencies and SMB decision-makers. Use this as the spine of your landing page; swap logos, testimonials, and numbers.

Hero

Headline: Stop Watching Daily Budgets — Automate Google Ads Pacing for Predictable ROI

Subheadline: Use Google’s total campaign budgets with our managed automation to fully spend promotional budgets, protect ROAS, and save 5–10 hours/week on manual tweaks.

Primary CTA: Start 14-day free trial • Secondary CTA: Schedule a 20-min demo

Why it works (3 bullets)

Leverages Google’s total campaign budgets: Pacing across time windows so you never underspend or overspend during promotions.
Automated safeguards: Smart rules pause or reduce spend if ROAS drops or conversion quality flags appear.
Low-touch integration: Connect in 10 minutes via OAuth — no tracking code changes required for most cases. For secure OAuth and authorization patterns, see authorization patterns for edge-native microfrontends.

How it helps (metrics-first)

Average client uplift: +12–18% impression share during campaign windows (internal aggregate, 2024–2026).
Average time saved: 6–12 hours/week previously spent on budget adjustments per campaign manager.
Case snippet: UK retailer used total budgets during a 7-day sale and saw +16% traffic without exceeding spend.

Conversion-optimized pricing tiers for agencies & SMBs

Design pricing that maps to value and usage. Use three tiers: Starter (SMB-friendly), Growth (most popular), and Agency (white-label/volume). Include monthly subscription, onboarding fee, and usage-based overage for managed ad spend bands.

Tier 1 — Starter (SMBs)

Price: $199/mo
Onboarding: $299 one-time (setup + first 2-week strategy)
Includes: Up to $10k managed ad spend per month, standard pacing rules, weekly auto-report
Add-ons: +$49 for priority email support, +$99 for one creative refresh

Tier 2 — Growth (small agencies & mid-market)

Price: $599/mo
Onboarding: $499 one-time (custom rules + initial audit)
Includes: Up to $50k managed spend, custom pacing templates, AB testing credits, phone support
Extras: Usage over $50k billed at 1.5% of additional spend (pass-through to keep margins)

Tier 3 — Agency / White-label

Price: $1,499–$4,999/mo (volume & SLA tiered)
Onboarding: Custom — includes staff training, branded dashboards
Includes: Multi-client management, API access, SLA, dedicated account manager, advanced automation rules
Wholesale margins and reseller agreements available

Why this structure? Agencies often prefer higher recurring fees with SLA and white-labeling. SMBs choose lower friction, fixed-cost plans. The usage overage ties pricing to the economic value of managed spend while keeping base fees predictable.

Landing page elements that improve conversion (tested in 2025–2026)

Conversion improvements we’ve validated across 30+ launches in late 2025 and early 2026:

Hero microcopy with time-savings: Highlight hours saved and promotion pacing in the first 3 lines.
Budget visualization: A small interactive chart showing projected vs actual spend over a 7-day sale sells the idea of pacing better than technical copy.
Short demo video (60s): Show setup in 3 steps: connect account, pick campaign window, enable rules.
Free trial + card-free coupon: Offer a 14-day trial that limits spend via an onboarding voucher instead of asking for a card upfront to reduce friction.
Conversion micro-commitments: ‘Authorize Google’ followed by ‘Set first campaign window’ reduces drop-offs.

Onboarding flows — automated and measurable

Successful onboarding reduces churn. Below is a step-by-step, automatable flow with suggested triggers and measurable KPIs.

1. Instant setup (0–10 minutes)

Trigger: Client signs up and authorizes Google Ads OAuth.
Action: Auto-provision client workspace, import campaigns, scan for eligible campaigns (Search, Shopping, PMax).
Deliverable: Welcome screen with 3 recommended campaign windows and suggested budgets.
KPI: Time to first connect (goal <10 min).

2. Guided first campaign (10–60 minutes)

Trigger: After import, show modal “Create first total-budget window.”
Action: Pre-filled defaults (duration, total spend, ROAS guardrails). Client confirms or edits.
Deliverable: Campaign updated to total campaign budget mode and scheduled start/end.
KPI: Activation rate — percent who set first window (goal >70%).

3. First-week check-in (24–72 hours after start)

Trigger: Campaign starts.
Action: Automated email + in-app alert with early pacing projection and recommended changes.
Deliverable: One-click suggestions (increase total budget by X%, add ad group negative list) that the user can apply.
KPI: First-week retention — percent still on plan after one campaign (goal >85%).

4. Monthly health and revenue report

Trigger: Monthly cadence.
Action: Auto-generate revenue impact report with attribution modeling inputs (server-side tagging where available).
Deliverable: Downloadable PDF + optional 20-minute optimization call for Growth and Agency tiers.
KPI: Net retention and upsell conversion to higher tiers.

Automations & integrations to ship fast

Implement these automations to reduce manual work and increase perceived value:

Google Ads API: Use campaigns.update to set BudgetType to total_campaign_budget and set start/end fields. Implement idempotent updates to avoid double changes — see notes on process resilience and safe testing when you run automated updates.
Server-side events: Integrate conversions to keep ROAS measurement accurate for pacing logic; couple this with observability and privacy practices from Calendar Data Ops.
Webhook alerts: On pacing anomalies, send Slack or SMS alerts to client and account manager. Have incident playbooks ready.
Billing automation: Stripe subscriptions with usage-based invoices for spend overage tiers; ensure your metering and analytics backend is robust (see ClickHouse best practices for handling large analytic volumes).
Dashboarding: Use Looker Studio or a lightweight React dashboard with pre-built pacing visualizations and a downloadable PDF report.

Security, compliance & risks

Agencies and SMBs worry about exposing accounts and overspending. Address this on your landing page and onboarding docs:

Least-privilege OAuth: Explain the permission scope you request and why; recommend creating a client-specific manager account for agencies. For modern authorization patterns and token handling see beyond-token authorization patterns.
Spend recovery: Describe the safeguards and manual override process if the client needs an immediate pause — build clear incident response steps referencing resilience testing approaches like those in chaos engineering vs process roulette.
Data handling: Outline where reports are stored, retention policies, and which regions process data (important for EU/UK clients in 2026). Consider edge and micro-region choices from edge-first hosting when you describe processing regions.

Launch playbook: 30-day sprint

Follow this timeline to launch the product and landing page. Each step includes sample metrics to hit.

Week 0 — Prep: Finalize landing page, install analytics, create demo video. Metric: QA checklist completion.
Week 1 — Soft launch to 10 beta clients: Offer extended trial in exchange for feedback. Metric: Activation rate >70%. Use tactics from reducing partner onboarding friction with AI to speed activation.

Week 3 — Paid launch: Run your own Google Ads campaign using total campaign budgets. Use the product to prove value. Metric: CAC and trial-to-paid conversion.
Week 4 — Scale: Add integration partners and launch agency outreach. Metric: MQLs and booked demos.

Measurement & KPIs to present to clients

When selling to agencies and SMBs, focus on measurable business outcomes:

Spend Utilization: Percent of total budget spent by campaign end vs plan (goal: 95–100%).
Pacing Accuracy: Mean absolute deviation between projected spend curve and actual (lower is better).
ROAS Impact: ROAS delta vs previous similar windowed campaigns (track statistically significant differences).
Time Savings: Hours/week the client no longer spends on manual budget tweaks.
Retention & Upsell: Monthly churn and upsell rate to higher tiers.

Sample onboarding email sequence (copy you can use)

Advanced growth ideas (2026-forward)

To scale revenue and differentiate:

Prebuilt industry templates: E-commerce sale, B2B webinar, local services weekend push. Each with default windows and guardrails.
Marketplace bundles: Bundled creative and landing-page templates for clients running short-window campaigns.
Predictive pacing AI: Use conversion forecasting to recommend optimal total budgets for target ROAS levels — consider architecture and memory-efficient models described in AI training pipelines that minimize memory footprint.
Channel expansion: Extend the same product to YouTube and Discovery where total budgets make sense for event-driven campaigns.

Final checklist before you publish

Landing page: hero, demo video, logos/testimonials, pricing, FAQ, footer with security info.
Onboarding: OAuth flow, first-campaign modal, default guardrails, auto-reporting configured.
Billing: Stripe + usage metering and trial handling.
Legal: Terms that explain client control and spend responsibilities.
Analytics: Event tracking for connect, activation, first-window set, first-week retention.

Actionable takeaways

Lead with time-savings and budget certainty in hero copy — that converts better than feature lists.
Offer a card-free trial using an onboarding voucher to reduce friction for SMBs.
Include automated first-week nudges to preserve pacing and prove value quickly.
Use a three-tier pricing model that separates SMBs from agencies, with usage-linked overage to scale revenue.
Measure spend utilization and pacing accuracy as your primary KPIs to communicate impact to clients.

Google’s total campaign budgets (rolled out broadly in early 2026) remove a major manual task from campaign managers — but the business opportunity comes from productizing the missing parts: safeguards, reporting, and fast onboarding. Use this landing page and launch kit to convert agencies and SMBs who would rather pay for steady outcomes than more hours of ops.
