Most local businesses don't need an agency. They need the machine built.
A months-long agency plan is not always what you need. Sometimes what moves
revenue is a single package that builds the foundation for customers to find
you online. One payment, and you end up owning a website that converts,
Google Ads running, your Google Business Profile fixed, Meta Business
organized, conversion tracking that actually reports, and content ready to
publish. Every account stays in your name.
Pi Mídias is a marketing studio with an in-house video production arm,
based in Porto Alegre, Brazil. We build the website, run the paid campaigns
and produce the content that goes into them — the whole chain under one
roof, without subcontracting the middle of it.
Dets Electric, an electrical contractor in Massachusetts,
hired us to build their marketing project: the website, and a lead
acquisition system running on Google Ads.
He was not starting from zero. He had been running Google Ads himself, from
an account put together by hand, and it was already bringing him work. That
was the proof we needed: in this trade, Google search is where the customer
looks first — our own market research said the same thing — and even a rough
campaign was paying for itself.
So we rebuilt it properly. A new website. His Google Business Profile redone
the right way: verified, correct categories and services, and the new address
after he moved. And a Google Ads account structured from the ground up — 95
researched keywords, 207 negatives, 15 ad groups, and conversion tracking
that reports what actually comes back. See the site for yourself at
detselectric.com
The work is what he hired us for, and the work is what he got. The surprise
came after: the same scope, quoted by agencies here in the United States,
comes back at several times the price. That combination — this level of work,
at a fraction of what it costs here — is what started this page. If we can
build it for a contractor in Massachusetts, why aren't we building it for
companies across the country?
01
Everything in your name
Domain, hosting, Google Ads account, Google Business Profile, Meta
Business Portfolio, Pixel. All created under your ownership, with us
added as managers. If we part ways, the account history — the most
expensive asset a campaign builds — stays with you.
02
No 1099, no withholding
Services performed entirely outside the United States by a foreign
entity do not require a Form 1099 or tax withholding. We provide a
signed W-8BEN-E with the contract so your bookkeeper
has the file they need.
03
Paid like a domestic vendor
We invoice in US dollars and receive by ACH bank transfer
to a US routing and account number, or by PayPal. You
never wire money overseas and you never send card details by email.

What we do at our agency in Brazil
Campaign pieces, brand films, testimonials and aerial work. Script, shoot
and edit, all in house. The editing you see here is the editing your videos
get. Click any of them to watch.
the two packages
One payment. The whole setup.
The difference between them is not the number of line items. It is whether
you want the system handed to you ready to switch on, or already switched on
and managed for the first three months.

US$ 2,000 — one-time implementation investment.
Google and Meta advertising budget is not included.
Payment: in US dollars, by ACH transfer to a US routing and
account number or by PayPal. 50% on signature and 50% on delivery, or an
installment plan. The quote always separates implementation work from ad
budget — they are different things and they never appear mixed.
what this normally costs
The same scope, bought piece by piece.
These are published US market rates for each component, from independent
pricing surveys — not our numbers. We are listing them because a package
this complete at this price raises a fair question, and the honest answer
is that our cost base is in Brazil and yours is not.
Business website, US average$2,000 – $8,000
Google Ads account setup / onboarding fee$500 – $2,500
Google Ads management, per month$500 – $2,000
Short-form vertical video, per video$500 – $1,000
Bundled local marketing packages, per monthfrom $1,000 + setup
You are not hiring us to build a website or to create social media posts. You
are getting a complete digital customer acquisition infrastructure — your
website, your Google presence, your paid advertising, your tracking and your
content — connected into one growth system, and every part of it registered
in your name.

Google and Meta advertising budget is not included in either package. It is
yours, charged to your card, paid directly to the platforms.
growth management
Once it's built, someone has to run it.
Optional monthly management
The Growth System builds the machine. Growth Management keeps it running:
campaigns optimized every week, negative keywords maintained, creative
swapped when it fatigues, and a monthly report in plain English.
It is optional and contracted separately, and the price follows the scope:
Google Ads management starts at US$ 250 per month. Growth
Premium already includes the first three months — after that you continue
only if you want to. There is no lock-in: the ad account is yours, in your
name, and the performance history stays with you.
Weekly campaign optimization
Negative keyword and search term management
Bid and budget adjustments
Creative refresh when performance drops
Monthly report: spend, cost per lead, what changes next month
No crew flies to your site. We build the videos from what you already
have — phone footage, job site photos, product shots, your logo — plus
licensed stock and, where it genuinely helps, AI-assisted elements. You
get professional editing, motion graphics and branded titles.
We tell you before you buy whether your material can carry five or ten
videos. If it can't, we say so instead of shipping filler.
02
The ad budget is yours
Not included, and that is deliberate. The package price is the work of
building the system. Ad budget is fuel: charged to your own card, paid
straight to Google and Meta without passing through us. The two never
appear mixed on a quote.
03
You already have a website
The diagnostic decides the route. If your current site loads fast on a
phone, ranks, and has a clear path to contact, we tune it instead of
rebuilding and the effort moves to the other fronts. You hear that
before you pay, not after.
04
After the three months
Nothing switches off. The campaigns keep running on your account. You can
take management in-house, hand it to someone else, or continue with
Growth Management month to month. No automatic renewal, no cancellation
fee.
