## How much does a PPC agency in San Marcos cost?

On the I-35 corridor we saw rates from $50 to $149 per hour, almost always without published pricing. At Anthony Hunt · SHAART the Ad package costs $600 (5 video scripts and one month of Meta Ads management) and the 1-hour consultation costs $99. Ad spend is paid separately to Meta or Google, and we don't promise results: we track them.

## Why do San Marcos ads lose clicks you already paid for?

With a median household income of $51,281, San Marcos is a market where every dollar gets thought through. That doesn't mean people don't spend: it means they compare. They open several ads, check price, reviews and hours, and sometimes message more than one business at once. Whoever answers first, and answers clearly, wins.

With Texas State University in town, every semester brings students, families and staff who arrive without knowing the city and look for everything on their phone. An ad that leads to a slow page, with no reference price or no booking button, is lost even when the click was cheap. That's why we care about the landing page as much as the ad.

42.2% of the population is Latino and almost a quarter speaks Spanish at home. We test Spanish ads as a separate campaign with its own page, and connect everything to GoHighLevel. The dashboard shows how many leads, appointments and sales each campaign and each language brings, and weekly optimization moves budget toward what sells.

## San Marcos by the numbers: who you're selling to

San Marcos has about 77,800 residents and is home to Texas State University. More than 42% of the population is Latino and almost a quarter speaks Spanish at home.

The university renews the market every semester and many people compare on their phone before calling. The median household income ($51,281) is the lowest of the 6 corridor cities I serve, so customers compare: the business that answers fast, explains clearly and follows up wins. San Marcos had about 1,200 employer businesses in the latest city-level count.

The Texas State SBDC has an office in San Marcos and the local chamber of commerce has more than 600 members. San Marcos sits between Kyle and New Braunfels on I-35.

- 77,830 residents (2025 est.)
- 42.2% Hispanic or Latino
- 23.3% speak Spanish at home
- 1,196 employer businesses

Share of residents who speak Spanish at home, I-35 corridor
- San Antonio 36.4 %
- Seguin 30.1 %
- Kyle 27.3 %
- San Marcos 23.3 %
- Austin 20.2 %
- New Braunfels 17.6 %

## What Google and Meta ads with us include

We don't sell clicks. We build the full chain between the ad and the sale, so every dollar you spend can be followed to the appointment and the sale. Ad spend is paid separately, directly to Meta or Google.

## How we run your campaigns, step by step

- 1 ### 15-minute diagnostic, free We review your campaigns, your pages and what happens to each lead after the click. You leave knowing where the money is leaking.
- 2 ### Tracking before spending We connect Meta and Google conversions to the GoHighLevel CRM so every lead, appointment and sale is credited to its campaign.
- 3 ### Launch in both languages We write ads and pages in English and Spanish, set up the automatic reply and I show you everything before it goes live.
- 4 ### Weekly optimization We review cost per lead, per appointment and per sale, pause what isn't working and shift budget toward what sells.

## A typical PPC agency vs. our system

| | Typical PPC agency | Anthony Hunt · SHAART |

| Reporting | Clicks, impressions and CTR | Leads, appointments and sales per campaign, pulled from the CRM |

| Language | Ads and pages in English only | Ads, pages and replies in English and Spanish, written separately |

| Follow-up | The lead lands in an inbox; answering is your problem | Automatic reply within minutes and follow-up until the appointment |

| Landing page | Traffic goes to the home page | One page per offer, with form and calendar connected |

| Optimization | Adjustments based on cost per click | Weekly adjustments based on cost per appointment and per sale |

| Pricing | "Request a quote" | Published $600 package and $99 consultation; ongoing campaigns at a fixed, written price |

Based on our review of 20+ agencies and providers that serve or target the I-35 corridor in October 2026: in the San Antonio and Austin directories almost no listing offers service in Spanish, and almost no agency publishes pricing.

Verified reviews

## What my clients say

Real reviews from businesses that trusted the system.

## Industries we focus on in San Marcos

### Contractors and home services

Plumbing, HVAC, roofing and cleaning all compete for the same urgent search on a phone. We build Google Search campaigns with a direct call from the ad, a page with a reference price when the business allows it, and an automatic text to every missed call. For Martindale, Wimberley and the rest of Hays County, each area can be measured separately.

### Clinics, salons and med spas

For salons, barbershops, clinics and med spas in San Marcos we run Instagram and Facebook campaigns with the first-visit offer spelled out in the ad, online booking connected to the calendar and a reminder by text or WhatsApp. If a client asks for the price by message, the AI assistant answers right away in English or Spanish and offers a time slot.

## How much does it cost?

On the corridor we saw rates from $50 to $149 per hour and a national agency with a San Antonio page charging $3,000 to $15,000 per month for AI marketing, almost always without published pricing. We publish ours. The Ad package ($600, one-time) includes 5 video scripts and management of your Meta Ads campaign for one month; you record and edit. Ad spend is paid separately, directly to Meta or Google:

- ### Strategy consultation $ 99 one-time per 1-hour session [See plan →](https://www.anthonyhunts.com/consultoria)
- ### Ad package $ 600 one-time [See plan →](https://www.anthonyhunts.com/digitalizate-basico#addons)
- ### Ongoing Google and Meta campaigns Google Ads, Meta Ads, bilingual pages, CRM tracking and weekly optimization: a fixed, written price after the 15-minute diagnostic. Ad spend is separate. [Book a free 15-min call →](https://www.anthonyhunts.com/en/agenda)

## Frequently asked questions

Yes, if the ad and the page are clear. A comparison shopper goes with the business that explains what's included, what it costs and how to book, and answers fast. We track cost per appointment and per sale, not just per click, to know whether the campaign pays.

We can target by area and interests within what Meta and Google allow, and write ads for people arriving in town each semester. The platforms restrict some kinds of targeting, so what works is decided with the data in the CRM.

Yes. We work with businesses across Hays County and the I-35 corridor over video call, in English or Spanish. Campaigns are targeted by radius or ZIP code based on where your customers are.

No. What you pay Meta or Google to show your ads is separate and goes directly to each platform. Our prices cover strategy, scripts, setup, tracking and campaign management, depending on the plan you choose.

No. Nobody can guarantee what the market will do or what the platforms will charge per click. What we do is track leads, appointments and sales per campaign in the CRM, review the numbers every week and move budget toward what sells.

Five video scripts and management of your Meta Ads campaign (Facebook and Instagram) for one month. You record and edit the videos. It doesn't include additional creatives, videos or scripts, and Google Ads is quoted separately at a fixed, written price.

Because clicks don't pay the rent. With your ads connected to GoHighLevel, every lead gets a reply within minutes and is tied to the campaign that brought it. You see how many booked and how many bought, instead of setting your budget by clicks and impressions alone.
