What our Google Ads management covers
Search campaigns
Keyword research, tightly grouped ad groups, responsive search ads and negative keywords that cut wasted spend.
Performance Max
Asset groups, audience signals and product feeds set up so Google's automation targets the right customers.
Shopping campaigns
Google Merchant Center feeds and Shopping or Performance Max campaigns for e-commerce stores.
YouTube and display
Video and display campaigns for awareness and to stay in front of people who have shown interest.
Remarketing
Audiences of past visitors and customers, shown relevant ads to bring them back to buy or enquire.
Conversion tracking and landing pages
Google Tag Manager, GA4 and enhanced conversions, plus fast landing pages built by our developers.
What to expect when you hire
Buyer intent drives search
Search ads reach people at the moment they look for what you sell, so keyword choice matters most. We focus budget on high-intent searches, add negative keywords every week and separate brand from non-brand campaigns so you can see what new demand costs.
Automation needs good inputs
Smart bidding and Performance Max work only as well as the data they get. We make sure conversions are tracked accurately, values reflect real business outcomes, and offline sales from your CRM can be imported, so Google optimises towards customers rather than form fills.
The landing page is half the campaign
A click only becomes a lead if the page matches the search and loads fast. Because we are developers too, we build and test landing pages ourselves instead of sending traffic to a generic home page.
Transparent accounts and spend
You own the Google Ads account and pay Google directly. We show every change in the account history and report spend, conversions and cost per lead from Google Ads and Analytics each month.
