What the role covers

Building and running paid search and paid social — campaign structure, keyword and audience targeting, ad copy, budget pacing and weekly reporting against cost per acquisition.

What separates good from average

They talk in cost per acquisition and payback, not impressions and click-through rate, and they will tell you to turn a campaign off. The expensive kind optimises a metric that never becomes revenue.

Hiring in Argentina, specifically

Timezone. UTC−3, which overlaps the US afternoon comfortably.

English. Very strong English among developers, designers and marketers.

Market. Deep senior technical and creative talent; currency volatility means agree pay in USD explicitly.

Calendar and statutory costs. Many public holidays and long-weekend bridges — plan the calendar in advance.

How we'd test for it

Given a product, a budget and a target cost per acquisition, return the campaign structure they would launch and what they would kill first if it missed. You read both before you ever speak to anyone — see a real sample shortlist for the standard.

Common questions

How much does a PPC specialist cost in Argentina?

A full-time PPC specialist in Argentina costs roughly $1,650–$2,800 per month, against $4,850–$9,050 for a comparable US hire — about 68% less. Pay at the top of the band for the skill level you actually want; underpaying is the most common cause of a hire leaving in month four.

Is that a fair wage locally?

Yes — these are competitive full-time salaries in Argentina, often above local office equivalents, which is exactly why the talent pool is deep. Paying at or above the top of the band buys you retention; squeezing the bottom of it buys you a rehire.

What about the cost of finding them?

That's the second half of the bill and it's where the market varies wildly. Recruiting agencies charge 25–35% of first-year salary, which on this band works out to roughly $4,950–$11,750. We charge a flat fee from $1,995 regardless of the salary, and it's only due once you've read your shortlist.

Do I pay taxes or benefits on top?

In the common direct-contractor arrangement you pay the monthly rate and they handle their own local taxes. If the role is full-time and integrated, an employer-of-record legally employs them for you and adds a platform fee — our compliance guide explains when that's the right call.
