CRM for PPC and paid ads agencies who scope every new campaign.

Managing PPC accounts requires separating media spend from agency management fees. When a client requests an unplanned campaign, the agency must document the new scope and bill accordingly. Workspace369 runs the agency side: client records, proposals, project tasks and project-based invoicing.

This allows an account manager to record and follow each ad account request from the initial proposal to the final invoice, keeping agency fees distinct from the actual advertising platform spend and attribution data. By maintaining this clear separation, agencies can track their operational costs and ensure that professional service fees are accurately accounted for without interference from external ad platform metrics.

Key facts

CRM for ppc / paid ads agencies at Workspace369 covers 9 areas, including client records, proposals, projects and tasks.

The workflow runs in 5 steps, from "record the brief" to "invoice management fees".

Workspace369 starts at $29/mo for 1 seat, and the Commander plan includes 20 seats and 12× Cadet usage at $299/mo.

Additional seats cost $10 each; full pricing is public on the Workspace369 pricing page.

CRM for PPC agencies compared

Workspace369 fits small PPC agencies on monthly retainers: retainers, recurring invoices, proposals, intake forms and a client portal on every plan from $29 a month for one user ($23.25 billed yearly). It does not connect to ad platforms or build ad reports, so pair it with a reporting tool. Productive and Teamwork.com document retainer billing on per-user plans, and Bonsai and Moxie cost less per user.

Operational friction in paid advertising

Scope Creep

Clients often ask for a quick ad set that turns into a week of creative work without a formal record. Without a proposal to define the new management fee, the agency loses billable hours. Documenting these requests in the client record prevents the team from performing unbilled labor on unplanned advertising campaigns. By ensuring that an account manager logs every new request, the agency can maintain a clear history of scope changes. This systematic documentation ensures that all team members are aligned on what has been agreed upon, reducing misunderstandings and protecting agency profitability during busy campaign seasons.

Billing Confusion

Separating management fees from media spend is difficult without clear invoice records. If the agency bills for services while the platform bills for spend, the client needs a distinct record of agency costs. Inaccurate invoicing leads to payment delays and disputes regarding the actual cost of PPC management. Creating separate invoices for professional services helps clarify what the client owes directly to the agency. This clarity is essential for maintaining healthy client relationships and ensuring that the agency's bookkeeping remains accurate and straightforward.

Fragmented Briefs

Ad creative files and targeting instructions often get lost in email threads or chat apps. When a campaign launch depends on specific assets, missing files cause delays. Storing these files within the project record helps the media buyer find the required assets to build the campaign. This organization reduces the time spent searching through scattered communication history before a launch. Having a dedicated repository for campaign assets ensures that the production team can work efficiently without waiting for email replies.

Scheduling Delays

Launch dates slip because task deadlines are not visible to the account team or the client. Without a shared schedule for creative production and technical setup, the agency cannot maintain a predictable launch cadence. Tracking these milestones in a project helps everyone see when the internal preparation ends and when the media spend is scheduled to start on the external platform. This visibility allows managers to allocate resources effectively and keep clients informed of progress without constant status meetings.

Managing the out-of-scope campaign request

01

Record the Brief

Create a client record for the advertiser to store account IDs and communication history. Record the specific requirements for the new campaign in the brief to ensure the creative team understands the objectives before work begins.

02

Proposal for New Scope

Send a proposal for the out-of-scope campaign to confirm the management fee and deliverables. This ensures the advertiser acknowledges the additional cost before the agency commits resources to keyword research or asset creation.

03

Project Task Breakdown

Create a project based on the approved proposal, adding specific tasks for keyword research and creative production. Assign these tasks to the media buying team to follow the progress of the build phase before the campaign goes live.

04

File and Conversation Management

Upload ad assets and store targeting conversations directly within the project record. This keeps the technical setup instructions linked to the creative files, helping reduce errors during the upload to the advertising platforms.

05

Invoice Management Fees

Generate an invoice for the agency service fee once the campaign build is completed. This record remains separate from the ad platform spend, providing the client with a clear breakdown of professional service costs for the project.

Client operations for ppc / paid ads agencies

  • The client portal successfully displays the new campaign proposal and requires the advertiser to record their approval before any technical tasks begin.
  • The management fee invoice is generated as a separate record from the media budget, ensuring financial clarity for the agency bookkeeper and the client.
  • Project tasks for the new campaign are assigned and tracked, with all creative files attached to the task record for easy retrieval by the buyer.
