The short answer

Our management starts from AED 7,000 a month. On our Google Ads page for Riyadh, that starting fee covers accounts spending up to SAR 15,000 a month in Google media, in one language and one campaign, with weekly optimisation. Accounts spending SAR 15,000 to 50,000 a month, and accounts above SAR 50,000, are quoted on scope. Your ad spend is separate. It goes to Google, Meta, Snapchat and TikTok from accounts in your own name.

We do not publish other agencies' prices or a market range for Riyadh fees, because we cannot source either. What we can show is what a management fee actually decides, using what we have learned in the Saudi accounts we run.

Why the bands follow media spend

The bands describe workload. Once a Riyadh account moves past one campaign, the work grows quickly: Arabic and English versions, Search alongside Performance Max, conversion tracking and landing page feedback. Larger accounts add YouTube, Display, server side tracking and CRM feedback. Those items separate our bands, so a quote on scope means we have looked at which of them your account needs.

Decision one: how much goes to Search and how much to Performance Max

This is the clearest example of what a manager is paid to decide. In the Saudi accounts we manage:

• Search clicks cost far more, because each one is a person typing what they want.
• Performance Max clicks cost far less and arrive in far greater volume, because they include Shopping, YouTube, Display and Maps.

Performance Max looks far cheaper because of that placement mix, not because it finds cheaper buyers. Left alone, Performance Max will also take credit for people already searching your brand. A manager earns the fee by separating brand traffic, feeding Performance Max real purchase events, and moving budget toward whichever side returns more in SAR, not whichever side has cheaper clicks.

Decision two: which Riyadh searches are worth their price

Services pay more per click than retail. Keyword Planner top of page bids for law firms in Riyadh, pulled on 26 September 2026 and shown in AED on that page, put محامي الرياض at AED 9.91 to 49 on 1,900 monthly searches. شركة محاماة الرياض starts at AED 4.09 and tops out at AED 15. Choosing between those, capping the dear one, and deciding whether English deserves its own small budget is management work. A cheap fee that skips it usually costs more in wasted media than it saves.

Decision three: the Riyadh specifics

A Riyadh fee should also cover work a template account misses:

• Arabic first keyword sets. Most Riyadh demand searches in Arabic. In the accounts where we have run Arabic and English side by side, Arabic clicks cost about the same as English clicks, while Arabic leads came in cheaper, so judge each language on cost per lead, not cost per click.
• The wider mix. Snapchat and TikTok sit beside Google and Meta for many Saudi consumer brands. Our PPC page for Riyadh covers how we run them together.
• Store and feed setup. SAR pricing and Saudi tax settings in Merchant Center, and product catalogues from Salla, Zid or Shopify that match the site.
• Cities. Riyadh, Jeddah and the Eastern Province reported separately when you sell nationally.
• The calendar. Budgets planned around Ramadan, Eid, Saudi National Day and back to school.

Minimum media and billing

We work with media budgets from SAR 10,000 a month. Below that, an account cannot exit the learning phase, so results stay noisy whatever the fee. Meta bills your ad account directly in SAR, and we invoice our fee in SAR or AED, your choice.

Questions to ask before you sign with anyone in Riyadh

• What exactly moves the fee from one level to the next?
• Who builds the Arabic keywords and ads, and are they written in Arabic or translated?
• Will reports show cost per lead or sale in SAR, not just clicks?
• Is tracking checked before launch, or after?
• Do you keep the ad accounts if you leave?

Frequently asked questions

How much does paid ads management cost in Riyadh with Big AL?

Management starts from AED 7,000 a month. On our Riyadh Google Ads page, that covers accounts spending up to SAR 15,000 a month in Google media. Accounts spending more, or running several platforms, are quoted on scope after we see what they need.

Is the management fee part of my ad spend?

No. Your media goes to Google, Meta, Snapchat and TikTok from ad accounts in your own name, and Meta bills those accounts in SAR. Our fee is a separate invoice in SAR or AED, your choice, paid in advance each month.

Why not just run Performance Max and skip Search?

Its clicks are far cheaper in the Saudi accounts we manage, but they include Shopping, YouTube, Display and Maps placements. Search reaches people typing what they want, so we judge both on sales, not click price.

What is the smallest budget you take in Riyadh?

We work with media budgets from SAR 10,000 a month. Below that, Google and Meta cannot gather enough conversion data to leave the learning phase, so results stay noisy and it is hard to tell what is working.
