You stay in control

Nothing goes live until it has been checked.

Your website copy

Your deposit covers the initial build and review. You can choose whether to continue; the remaining balance is due only if you approve the finished website.

Each campaign

We review every campaign before any ad money is spent. Cancel before it starts and we refund it in full, management fee included.

Stopping early

Stop part-way and we pause your ads within 1 business day. Unspent ad money we hold is refunded within 10 business days; if Google charges you directly, it stops. If you change your mind part-way, that campaign’s management fee is kept.

If you leave

Once it’s paid in full, your website is yours. You keep it and your domain. If you own your Google Ads account, it stays yours. See the terms for advertising account ownership and handover.

How your ad spend is paid

You decide. We can do it all, with your ad spend on our invoice. Or we work with you to set up your own Google Ads account and link it, and Google charges your card as the ads run. Your package sets the agreed ad budget and management fee. Choosing direct Google billing keeps that fee, including any package saving; only who charges the Google ad spend changes. If your business is new to Google Ads, owning the account may also make you eligible for Google's current offers for new advertisers.

After launch

Your website stays live after a campaign ends. Changes cost $150 a session: up to 5 small text edits or 10 photo swaps. If we organise your domain, we remind you before the next year is due. Nothing else is charged unless you place a new order.

See MyPorchlight for your website and campaign information, monitoring and reports.
