Frequently asked questions
Straight answers to the twelve questions we are asked most often. If yours is not here, call 510-551-0634.
What exactly does Rayfield Advertising Group do?
We plan, build and run paid advertising for American businesses: Microsoft Advertising and Google Ads, Meta and LinkedIn, plus the creative, landing pages and measurement that make those channels work. We are an agency; we do not sell software, leads or ad space of our own.
Where are you located and who owns the company?
We are at 1864 Lindale Avenue, Oakland, CA 94607. The company is a sole proprietorship owned by George Thompson and has been operating since 2014.
How much does it cost?
Flat monthly fees, published on our pricing page: $2,450 for a single channel, $4,850 for most multi-channel programmes, and from $7,900 for multi-location or regulated accounts. A stand-alone two-week audit is $2,400.
Do you charge a percentage of ad spend?
No. Fees are flat and agreed in writing before work starts, so there is no incentive for us to inflate your media budget.
What is the minimum contract length?
Three months to allow a fair test, then month to month with 30 days' written notice.
Who pays the advertising platforms?
You do, directly, on your own payment method inside your own accounts. We never bill media through our accounts, which keeps your spending transparent and your account history yours.
How quickly will campaigns go live?
Typically 10 to 15 business days from signature: one week of audit and planning, then build, tracking QA and launch.
What happens if results are not there?
We agree targets in writing at the start. If a channel misses them after a fair test we recommend cutting it, even when that reduces our own scope. If the whole programme underperforms, you can leave with 30 days' notice.
Do you work with clients outside California?
Yes. Roughly a third of our clients are elsewhere in the United States. All work is delivered remotely from Oakland, in Pacific business hours.
Do you handle regulated categories?
We work with healthcare groups and professional services, and follow the relevant advertising rules including claims review and privacy-appropriate tracking. We do not accept clients in gambling, adult content, cryptocurrency trading, supplements making health claims, or any category prohibited by the major advertising platforms.
What data do you collect on this website?
