The Real Work

What Most Agencies Skip

The difference between an account that runs and an account that scales is in the details most agencies never touch.

Negative Keywords That Actually Do Something

Accounts spending $20K a month with 40 negative keywords is not a list, it is a placeholder. Proper negative keyword management means hundreds of terms, organized by theme, updated weekly from the search terms report. That is where most wasted spend gets recovered.

Bidding Strategy Matched to Where You Are

Smart bidding needs data to work. Under 30 conversions a month on a new campaign means Target CPA will spend your budget while the algorithm learns nothing. We match bidding strategy to account maturity and transition to automation once the data supports it.

Campaign Structure That Enables Real Decisions

How you structure campaigns determines what data you can see. Most accounts dump everything into one or two campaigns, making it impossible to know what is driving results. Clean structure means clean data, and clean data means better decisions.

Landing Page Problems Are Our Problem Too

A perfect Google Ads campaign loses everything on a landing page with a six-second load time or a form that breaks on mobile. We flag conversion rate problems we see even when they are not technically in scope, because if they sink your results, they sink ours too.

Straight Answers

There is no universal right answer, but there is a wrong one: spending so little that there is not enough data to optimize. In most industries, $5,000 a month is about the minimum for statistically meaningful conversion data in a reasonable timeframe. The right budget depends on your industry, competition, and what a customer is worth to you.

Flat fee. The management fee doesn't change with your ad budget, which means every extra dollar you spend goes to Google, not to us. A flat fee Google Ads agency removes the percentage-of-spend incentive that pushes other agencies to inflate budgets regardless of results. Flat fee management typically runs $500 to $5,000 a month depending on scope. If you want to see what that fee actually buys, our step-by-step PPC ads management guide walks through the weekly work.

Typically 2 to 4 weeks to get enough conversion data to make real optimization decisions. Performance improves steadily over the first 3 months as the account builds history. Anyone promising results in the first week is not being straight with you.

Yes, that is most of what we do. Full audit before touching anything, which usually surfaces exactly why performance has been underwhelming. Sometimes the structure is salvageable, sometimes a rebuild is the right call. We will tell you which before spending anything.

PMax is powerful but needs real management, not just turning it on and walking away. Without proper asset groups, audience signals, and brand exclusions, it will spend your budget on easy conversions from people who would have bought anyway. It can be great, but it requires active management to stay honest.
