Marketing & Growth

The channel where intent is highest and waste is easiest

Someone typing your service plus their city is the most qualified traffic on the internet. They are also the most expensive, which is why disciplined management is the whole difference between profit and donation.

Overview

Google has automated much of the mechanical work in paid search. Smart Bidding sets bids better than any human, and Performance Max will spend your budget across every surface Google owns. What automation does not do is decide what you should be bidding on, what a conversion is worth, or when the algorithm is optimizing toward the wrong outcome. That judgment is where the money is made.

We manage accounts around economics rather than clicks. Conversion values sent back to Google reflect real margin and close rates, not form fills. Search terms are audited continuously because broad match plus automation drifts toward cheap irrelevant volume. Landing pages are treated as part of the campaign, since half of most accounts' waste happens after the click.

You keep ownership of the account, the data and the history. If the relationship ends, everything stays with you — a condition we think should be standard and often is not.

Business benefits

What google ads changes for you

The reasons this work earns its budget, stated as outcomes rather than features.

Managed to profit, not proxy metrics

We optimize toward margin-adjusted return with offline conversion data fed back from your CRM, so Google learns what a good customer looks like.

Waste removed continuously

Weekly search term review, negative keyword discipline and placement exclusions — where most accounts quietly lose a third of their budget.

Performance Max under control

Asset group structure, audience signals, brand exclusions and reporting that reveals what the black box is actually doing.

Landing pages in scope

We treat the destination as part of the campaign, because the highest-leverage improvement is usually after the click, not before it.

Competitor and brand strategy

Deliberate decisions on brand bidding, competitor conquesting and defending your own terms, costed rather than assumed.

Honest reporting

Blended acquisition cost, incrementality context and what we changed and why. No dashboards designed to obscure a bad month.

Problems solved

If any of this sounds familiar

These are the situations clients describe in the first conversation, and what we do about each.

    Costs keep rising and conversions do not.

    Audit match types, search terms and bidding signals. Rising CPC with flat volume usually means the account is drifting into irrelevant queries.

    Performance Max spends but we cannot see where.

    Structural changes plus scripted reporting that exposes placement, search term and asset group performance, then constrains what underperforms.

    Leads arrive but sales says they are unqualified.

    Feed CRM outcomes back as conversion values so the algorithm optimizes for customers rather than form submissions.

    Our previous agency owned the account.

    We migrate you into your own Google Ads and Analytics accounts with full history, then manage under your ownership permanently.

Our process

How we deliver it

Each stage has a defined output, so you always know what you are getting and when.
  1. 01

    Account and economics audit

    Structure, waste, tracking accuracy and unit economics reviewed to establish what a conversion is actually worth.

  2. 02

    Tracking foundation

    Conversion tracking, enhanced conversions and offline import from CRM, because bad data makes automated bidding actively harmful.

    Restructure

    Campaign architecture, match type strategy, audience signals and budget allocation rebuilt around commercial priority.

  4. 04

    Creative and landing pages

    Ad copy testing and landing page alignment so message match holds from query to conversion.

  5. 05

    Manage and scale

    Weekly optimization, monthly reporting against economics, and deliberate scaling into the campaigns that are proving out.

Questions

Google Ads: common questions

The questions we are asked most about google ads, answered directly.

Around $3,000 per month in media for most US markets. Below that there is rarely enough data for automated bidding to learn, and management fees consume too large a share of the total.
