How much should I budget monthly for a paid advertising company to run effective campaigns?

I’m planning to hire a paid advertising company but unsure how much I should allocate monthly. Any insights on what a decent starting budget looks like for Google and Facebook ads combined?

Get quotes from the companies you are considering hiring. 🤷🏻‍♀️ We do sponsored posts on social media for our business. We do it ourselves (very easy to do), not through any third party, and it costs a few quid, depending on the reach and what you want to do.

It depends a lot on the industry, but generally, with less than £700 per month, it’s hard to see consistent results. I worked with Optisearch(^https://optisearch.co.uk/^), and they told me right from the start that going below a certain threshold doesn’t make sense because the algorithms don’t gather enough data.

My daughter has a social media company happy for you to PM me for a quote if you would like
She charges £600 per month
what’s your industry sector? Google and Facebook Ads have very limited success in very broad businesses. If you’ve got a niche it’s not gonna be the most effective use of your money.
I get Facebook ads for builders based in Sheffield and I’m 400 miles away
