Google Ads Management

If people are already searching for your service, advertising on Google is the fastest channel for generating inquiries. In lines of work that people search for at the moment of need, such as plumbing, clinics, law firms, courses, or moving, the ad appears just as the person is making a decision. For newly opened businesses that haven't yet built organic visibility, it also serves as a bridge in the early period. For seasonal or campaign-driven businesses, another advantage is that it can be turned up and down: you raise the budget in busy periods and lower it when you're at capacity.

For a product that isn't known yet and that nobody is searching for, search ads alone aren't enough; there you first need channels that create demand. If your landing page is slow, or there's nobody to return the calls, the ad budget is wasted. So before a campaign we check the page and how you handle incoming inquiries.

Ads and organic visibility aren't alternatives to each other either: ads bring inquiries right away but stop when the budget stops, while SEO starts slowly but accumulates. For most businesses the right approach is to start with ads and rebalance the budget as organic visibility grows.

The first month is both a setup period and a learning period. The more cleanly we structure the account, the healthier optimization will be in later months, because only a properly segmented structure shows which keyword, which ad, and which time of day brings in inquiries. In this period, the following is completed:

• A campaign and ad group structure organized by search intent
• High-intent keywords and a negative keyword list that works from day one
• Multiple ad variations for each ad group, plus call, location, and sitelink assets
• Conversion tracking that measures form submissions and phone and WhatsApp clicks
• Location, schedule, and device settings
• End-of-month adjustments based on the search terms report

There are two separate items: the ad budget you pay to Google and the management fee you pay to us. The ad account is opened in your name, your payment method is added to the account, and Google charges the spend directly. The management fee is set in writing from the start. You can view the spend and every campaign setting yourself at any time.

You can start with a small budget; what matters is that the budget is large enough to buy a meaningful number of clicks at the cost per click in your industry. Otherwise there won't be enough data to tell which keywords are working. The ad budget you need varies with these factors:

• Cost per click and the level of competition in your industry
• The size of the area you're targeting
• The number of inquiries you want to reach each month
• Campaign types: search, display, remarketing
• Whether your landing page is ready

Click and impression counts are guides, not goals. As a Google Ads agency, the indicator we really watch is cost per conversion: what does a form submission, a phone call, or an appointment cost you? Measuring inquiries that come in by phone takes particular care: the call button in the ad, phone clicks on the site, and the WhatsApp link are each set up separately. Optimization without conversion tracking is just guesswork.

The monthly report covers spend, clicks, number of conversions, cost per conversion, and search terms. Alongside it we note what we changed that month and what we'll try the next. The more you tell us about how many inquiries turned into sales, the more we can shift budget toward the keywords that bring actual customers, not just inquiries. We don't stop at sending the report; we go through it with you, because being able to ask why a number changed is worth more than the report itself.

In self-built accounts, the problem we see most often is broad match keywords running without a negative keyword list. The ad gets shown to people looking for jobs, people who want a free solution, and people in areas you don't serve, and the budget drains away unnoticed.

Other common mistakes: advertising without conversion tracking, sending every ad to the home page, applying Google's automated recommendations without questioning them, and leaving a campaign untouched for weeks after setting it up. Google Ads management is not a one-time setup job; it's regular upkeep.

The landing page matters at least as much as the ad. If what the ad promises isn't visible on the first screen of the page, if the phone number can't be tapped, or if the page loads slowly on a phone, you pay for the click but the inquiry never arrives.
