Pricing

  • Pricing model: Custom quote, primarily a fixed monthly retainer for ongoing performance marketing / paid media management, with some one-off audit/strategy work also offered.
  • Starting price: $5,000+ project minimum
  • Typical range: $100-$149 / hr
  • Billing: Primarily monthly retainer for ongoing account/campaign management; Clutch also lists an average hourly rate band. Launch states on Clutch that it uses fixed-fee pricing.

What's included

  • Paid media / PPC management
  • Paid social management
  • Campaign management and optimisation
  • Monthly performance reports
  • Quarterly strategic reviews
  • Measurement / analytics support
  • Conversion rate optimisation support
  • Audits and strategy recommendations

I found concrete public pricing signals, but not a full rate card on Launch Online's own site. The strongest direct evidence is a verified Clutch review stating one client pays Launch Online an £8,000 monthly fee, plus Clutch/The Manifest directory data showing a $5,000+ minimum project size and a $100-$149 average hourly rate band. Those directory figures are marketplace/listing data rather than a price sheet published by Launch itself, while Launch’s own website does explicitly describe campaign management as being delivered 'as part of a monthly retainer'; Clutch also quotes Launch saying it uses fixed-fee pricing, which supports a retainer/custom-quote model rather than pay-per-lead or commission-only pricing.

Process

How Launch Online actually works, reconstructed from customer reviews and third-party write-ups.

Launch Online appears to run engagements as a collaborative paid-media partnership: clients first share business goals, strategy direction, budgets, and campaign calendars, then Launch Online sets up or fixes measurement, builds channel plans and creative proposals, runs campaigns alongside the client’s internal team, and reports regularly with optimisation recommendations. Reviews repeatedly describe them as acting like an extension of the in-house team, with ongoing meetings, reporting, budget monitoring, and periodic UX/testing work.

  1. 1

    Share goals, context, and campaign priorities

    Engagements start with discussions about the client’s strategy, goals, business requirements, and campaign calendar. Reviewers say clients give Launch Online direction on objectives and timing, and Launch Online uses that input to guide strategy rather than just taking isolated execution tasks.

  2. 2

    Audit and set up tracking and measurement

    Early in the relationship, Launch Online often handles analytics and tracking foundations so performance can be measured properly. One client said this included taking care of tracking issues and helping migrate from Google Analytics to GA4, while Launch’s own positioning emphasizes fixing measurement as a foundation for growth.

  3. 3

    Build the paid media plan within budget

    After understanding objectives, Launch Online develops channel-specific plans and recommendations within the client’s budget and timeframe. Reviews describe them proposing how to use Google Ads, LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Pinterest, and other channels, sometimes expanding the mix step by step as the engagement grows.

  4. 4

    Develop campaigns and coordinate creative delivery

    Launch Online then puts campaigns into market and collaborates on creative production. Clients describe a partnership model where Launch Online may design some ad assets and propose creative approaches while the client’s in-house team supplies other assets and works jointly on brainstorming and approvals.

  5. 5

    Run campaigns collaboratively and manage day-to-day delivery

    Once live, Launch Online manages campaigns closely with the client team through regular meetings and shared workflows. Reviewers mention campaign catch-up calls, use of monday.com for project management, proactive communication about underspend or overspend, and flexible adaptation to the client’s working style.

  6. 6

    Report performance and recommend improvements

    Launch Online provides regular reporting tied to systems such as Google Analytics and HubSpot, submitting reports ahead of management meetings and using them to plan forward periods. Customers also describe ongoing analysis, strategic recommendations, and periodic UX studies that pull reports and suggest site improvements.

Launch Online has a clear third-party review presence on Clutch, where it appears as Launch Online / Launch Online Limited with strong client feedback and a 4.9/5 overall rating based on 16 verified reviews. I did not find a matching profile for this specific agency on G2, Trustpilot, Google, Capterra, or BBB in the search results I reviewed, so its visible review footprint appears limited mainly to Clutch.
