Besides "managing" the campaign, I also have custom software to analyze reporting (hourly analysis of clicks, ctr, impressions, conversions, etc) as well as post click analysis. This sounds great, but for smaller budgets (under $6-10k a month) its not really worth using.

So for almost everyone its a consulting fee each month, because some of them do have over $200k budgets per month and 20% is way to high.
