The key differences
- 1
How you pay
German agency pricing guides commonly cite 10–20% of ad spend or a retainer of a few hundred to a few thousand euros a month, sometimes plus setup fees. Orbit Grow is one flat €89 fee, and your ad budget is billed by Google.

Who decides
With an agency, changes often happen on your behalf. In Orbit Grow, each change arrives as a plain question with its reason, and nothing important happens until you approve.

Common questions
How much does a Google Ads agency cost in Germany?
Pricing guides published by German agencies in 2026 commonly cite either 10–20% of monthly ad spend, or a flat retainer from roughly €250 for small accounts to €2,500 or more for larger ones, and sometimes a one-off setup fee. Ask for a written scope and compare quotes.
Is Orbit Grow a replacement for an agency?
For many straightforward small-business search accounts, yes. It handles much of the recurring work. If you need multi-channel strategy or a dedicated person, an agency can still be worth it.
Can I switch from my agency to Orbit Grow?
Usually, yes. If the Google Ads account is in your name, Orbit Grow connects to it with official Google sign-in and your history stays intact. If the agency owns the account, ask them to transfer access first.
