The key differences
- 1
Time is the product
Freelancers sell hours. Small accounts often get a short monthly check. Orbit Grow reviews searches, budgets and pages every week, whatever the size of your account.
- 2
Plain language by default
Every recommendation in Orbit Grow says what happened, why it matters and what happens if you approve, so you're never dependent on one person's explanations.
- 3
No single point of failure
If a freelancer gets busy or moves on, knowledge goes with them. Your Orbit Grow history and decisions stay in your account.

Common questions
Is a freelancer cheaper than an agency?
Often, yes, but costs depend on hours worked. For small budgets, even a modest monthly fee can be a large share of your ad spend.
Can I use Orbit Grow and a freelancer together?
Yes. Some owners use Orbit Grow for the weekly routine and bring in a freelancer for occasional strategy or tracking projects.
Who owns the account?
With Orbit Grow, you do: it connects to your own Google Ads account. Make sure the same is true with any freelancer.
