What we manage

Every Google surface, one economic model.

Search, Performance Max, Shopping, YouTube, Display — different auctions, same question: what did the dollar return?

SearchHigh-intent keywords, tight match discipline, negative lists maintained weekly. High-intent search generates leads in the first week — that's the channel's job.
Performance Max & ShoppingFeed hygiene and asset-group structure decide PMax outcomes. We give the algorithm clean inputs, then audit what it actually did with your money.
YouTube & DisplayAwareness spend runs measured and capped, with honest lag expectations. If it can't defend itself next to search in the dashboard, we cut it.
Our approach

How we run accounts.

01

Tracking before spend

Conversion tracking, call tracking, and offline imports wired first. An account that can't measure can't be optimized — so we don't launch until it can.

02

Quality Score as a pricing lever

Better ads and better landing pages lower what Google charges you per click. We treat Quality Score as money, not a vanity number.

03

Weekly working cadence

Search-term reviews, negative-keyword additions, and budget shifts happen weekly — logged in a live dashboard you can open anytime.

04

You own the account

Your Google Ads account, your data, your history. Leave anytime; everything stays with you. We earn the renewal every month.

Is it for you?

When Google Ads is the right first channel.

Google Ads works when people already search for what you sell. If they do, it's usually the fastest path to leads — high-intent campaigns produce in the first week, while SEO compounds behind them over 3–6 months.

And if nobody searches for your product yet? Then search isn't your first channel — demand generation on Meta or TikTok comes first, and the audit will say so. We'd rather tell you that up front than bill you to learn it.

Google Ads questions

Straight answers, before the sales call.

Cost, timelines, and account ownership — plus where Google fits beside Microsoft and OpenAI Ads.

Two costs: your media budget, paid directly to Google, and our management fee — 20% of monthly ad spend with a $500 monthly minimum, stepping down at higher spend, with flat-rate retainers for larger accounts. No setup fees, no long-term contracts. The fee is itemized in every proposal.

Enough to buy statistically meaningful clicks in your market. A market with $15 clicks needs a different budget than one with $2 clicks — so we scope it from real cost-per-click data for your actual keywords in the free audit, not from a rule of thumb.

High-intent search campaigns typically generate leads in the first week. Optimization compounds from there — expect the account to keep improving over the first 60–90 days as search-term data accumulates and Quality Score work lowers your costs.

Yes. The account, the data, and the campaign history are yours. If you leave, everything stays with you — we earn the renewal every month rather than holding your account hostage.

Yes, with supervision. PMax outcomes are decided by feed quality and asset-group structure, so we invest there first — then audit placement and spend reports to check what the algorithm did with your budget. Automation gets guardrails, not blind trust.

Google grants Premier Partner status to the top 3% of partner agencies in a country each year, based on client growth, retention, and certification requirements. You can verify ours in the Google Partners directory. Practically, it means certified specialists and earlier access to betas and support.
