Pricing, process, contracts, ownership, results — what small business owners actually ask us before they sign.
ADLG Marketing is a boutique digital marketing agency based in Austin, Texas.
We handle digital strategy, paid social and paid search advertising, content marketing, WordPress web development, commercial photography, and video production. We also run a white-label practice for other agencies that need extra strategy, creative, or paid media capacity.
Adrian De La Garza founded ADLG Marketing in 2018.
He has more than 20 years of advertising and marketing experience, including campaigns for national enterprise brands like Dell, Nokia, Samsung, AMD, Kraft, Nabisco, HEB Central Market, Sonic, Baylor Health Care System, and TXU Energy. That enterprise background is the foundation of how we approach strategy for small business clients today.
We’re based in Austin, Texas and serve clients across the U.S.
The agency runs as a virtual operation, which keeps overhead low and puts more of the budget toward strategy and execution instead of office space.
Adrian leads strategy and execution personally, supported by a vetted network of specialists.
You’re not getting handed off to a junior account manager. The person building your strategy is the same person who ran campaigns for Dell and Samsung.
Our core services include digital strategy and consulting, social media advertising (Meta/Facebook and Instagram), paid search advertising (Google Ads), content marketing, WordPress website design and development, commercial photography, video production, SEO, and analytics and reporting.
We also offer white-label services for agencies.
We’ve worked across a range of industries including spirits and craft beverages, food and beverage, nonprofits, real estate, outdoor recreation, education, healthcare, and entertainment. That said, we’re not limited to those verticals.
If your business needs customers and has a product or service worth marketing, the strategy fundamentals translate.
Paid social advertising on Meta (Facebook and Instagram) is a core strength, particularly around AI-driven optimization and Meta’s Andromeda algorithm update.
We also run Google Ads campaigns and build WordPress sites. Most clients work with us across multiple channels because the channels work better together than in isolation.
We offer both project-based and retainer options, with monthly retainers starting at a $2,000 minimum.
Retainers are priced based on scope of deliverables. No long-term contracts required.
No. Retainers are month-to-month with a 30-day notice to cancel.
We keep clients by delivering results, not by locking them into a 12-month agreement.
No. The retainer covers strategy, management, creative, and reporting.
Ad spend is always paid directly by the client to the media partner (Meta, Google, etc.). We’ll recommend a budget based on your goals, but you control the spend and the account.
It depends on the channel and your goals.
As a general starting point, we typically recommend a minimum of $1,500 to $3,000 per month in ad spend for Meta (Facebook/Instagram) campaigns and $1,500 or more for Google Ads, but the right number depends on your market, your competition, and what you’re trying to accomplish. We’ll give you a realistic recommendation during the initial conversation. We won’t take your money if the budget isn’t enough to generate meaningful results.
Reach out through the contact form on adlgmarketing.com or call (512) 761-6824.
We start with a conversation about your goals and whether we’re a good fit. No pressure, no 90-minute sales pitch.
Most clients are live within 2 to 3 weeks.
That includes strategy development, account setup or audit, creative development, and campaign launch. We move fast because we’ve done this hundreds of times, not because we cut corners.
The first month is about building the foundation: auditing what you have, setting up tracking correctly, developing strategy, and launching campaigns.
You’ll have a clear picture of what we’re doing, why we’re doing it, and what we’re measuring from day one.
For paid campaigns, most clients see early performance data within the first 30 days.
Meaningful optimization typically happens at the 60 to 90 day mark as we collect enough data to refine targeting, creative, and bidding. SEO and content marketing take longer, usually 3 to 6 months for noticeable organic traction. We’ll set realistic expectations upfront so you know what to watch for and when.
Reporting is based on your business needs. At a minimum, you get monthly reporting with a standing strategy call.
Real-time dashboards are available so you can check performance anytime without waiting for a report. We report on the metrics that actually matter to your business, not vanity numbers.
It depends on the engagement, but common metrics include cost per lead, cost per acquisition, return on ad spend (ROAS), conversion rates, click-through rates, and revenue attribution.
We set KPIs during onboarding and measure against them every month.
Yes. You own your ad accounts, your analytics, your website, and your domain. Always.
If we part ways, everything stays with you. We never hold accounts or data hostage.
Yes. You’ll have full access to your ad accounts, analytics dashboards, and any platforms we manage on your behalf.
We work inside your accounts, not ours.
Yes. We partner with agencies on a white-label basis.
That covers strategy, creative, paid media management, and web development they can offer their own clients under their own brand.
We operate as an extension of your agency under NDA — your clients never know we’re involved.
We handle the deliverables, you handle the client relationship. Pricing is scoped per engagement.
We build paid social strategy around AI-driven optimization, including Meta’s Andromeda algorithm update, to help small businesses compete more effectively for attention and conversions on limited ad budgets.
AI changes how ads get distributed and who sees them. We structure campaigns to take advantage of that instead of fighting it.
Most small business agencies sell packages. We build strategy first, then execute.
Adrian brings 20-plus years of enterprise brand experience to every engagement, which means you’re getting the kind of strategic thinking that Fortune 500 brands pay six figures for, applied to a budget that actually makes sense for your business. Add month-to-month contracts, direct account ownership, and a Telly Award-winning creative team, and the comparison gets pretty clear.
Yes — we’re happy to meet in person around Austin, and most day-to-day work happens over email, Slack, and scheduled calls.
Photo and video shoots are on location. Being local means we know the Austin market, the seasonality, and the competitive landscape you’re actually up against.
No. We’re based in Austin but serve clients across the U.S.
The agency runs virtually, so location has never been the constraint. Roughly half our work is outside Texas.
Ready to skip the agency BS and get results? We’re taking on new clients who want straight-shooting digital marketing that actually drives growth.
And hey, if you’re in Austin, TX and want to talk strategy over a pint, we’re down for that too.
