Discover Better Performance. Your Google Ads Agency Isn't Delivering.
The most common cause of a high click-through rate with a low conversion rate is a mismatch between your ad and your landing page. When your ad makes a promise your landing page doesn't deliver on, users will quickly leave. We ensure your ad copy and landing page are perfectly aligned, creating a seamless and trustworthy user experience that leads to real conversions, not just clicks.
Using too broad keywords attracts irrelevant traffic. We conduct thorough keyword research to find the precise terms your customers are searching for. We also use negative keywords to filter out irrelevant searches and test various match types to ensure your budget is optimally allocated. This means every click is from a potential customer, making your spending more efficient.
A "set it and forget it" mentality is the fastest way to fail with Google Ads. We believe in continuous, hands-on management. Our team monitors and optimizes your campaigns daily to respond to market changes and improve performance. We also use a 90-day ad copy testing cadence to ensure your messaging is always fresh and compelling.
Without proper conversion tracking, you're operating in the dark. You can't tell which keywords or ads drive real business results. We start every campaign by setting up meticulous conversion tracking and advanced integrations, including linking to your CRM systems like HubSpot for full-funnel optimization. This allows us to move beyond vanity metrics and focus on what truly matters to your business—sales, sign-ups, calls, and leads—giving you a clear, quantifiable return on your investment.
Keyword Research
Many tools build out a keyword list, but the best way is to search Google itself manually. We step into the searcher's mind to see what keywords Google recommends in "related searches" and what the search experience is like. What match types are most imperative for your budget in a system that pushes broad matches and tries to remove exact phrases? We also constantly build and monitor negative keyword lists to ensure your budget isn't wasted on irrelevant traffic.Audience Research
Outside of Google Search ads, we have display ads with many targeting options. Which works best? By combining too many, it's hard to know. We test to find what works best—from custom audiences based on keywords and sites visited to in-market behaviors. We also continuously build out audience exclusions to refine your targeting and improve performance.Remarketing
Don't just think of the obvious list—people who came to the site but didn't convert. Did they visit more than once? Did they see the pricing page? Did they add to cart but not complete the purchase? We also consider how long ago that visit happened. We can even upload a list of cold leads to reach that audience again.Account Setup
With the push for automation and AI, ensuring your account setup is accurate is essential. Does Google Ads tracking align with your CRM? Does display expansion or search partners work? What quality of leads are coming from search partners? We know that an account structure can have a massive impact on performance. We consider historical top performers and search volume to ensure keywords don’t waste your budget. We also consider the differences between EMEA, APAC, and North America for global businesses, as time zones are crucial for reporting and optimization.AI Overview
AI Overview is a vast opportunity, but what can we do to ensure our campaigns are aligned for this? Google is pushing three formats: PMAX, Broad Match Terms, and AI Max for Search. You pay for every click, so implementing testing for each is crucial.Ad Copy, Images, and Extensions
Just because Google uses dynamic ad formats does not mean you cannot have a testing cadence. There is never a chance to set it and forget it if you do your job right. For example, we run tests to send 50% of traffic to page A and 50% to page B. We also use the Google Ads Pinning feature to see if specific positions work well, rather than leaving it up to Google, and we test identical ads, other than using two different CTA description lines. We implement a 90-day testing cadence to keep the ad copy and landing page aligned for a good quality score.Automated Bidding
Google's automated bidding is good but not great. For example, if you implement a target CPA, how did that impact results? Do you have sufficient conversion volume to use a fully automated bidding strategy? We monitor your CPCs and the effects of your bidding strategy, because we've seen some CPCs skyrocket for no reason. We can also help you determine whether adding a value to each conversion event helps, guiding your strategy every step of the way.Google's Recommendations
Optimization score is essential, but not everything Google recommends is valuable. We monitor these, adding where they make sense and dismissing the ones that aren't relevant to keep your score above 80%.Optimization and Reporting
Without correctly set up conversion tracking, you are flying blind. We are here to ensure everything is set up and functioning as it should. We supply transparent monthly reports to share what we are doing, what's working, and what we recommend next from what we have learned.Competitive Analysis
What are your competitors doing on Google? We conduct a deep dive into their ad copy, keyword strategy, and landing pages to identify opportunities and threats, giving you a clear, data-driven path to outsmarting the competition.
Landing Page & Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO)
Getting the click is only the first step. We go beyond the ad to analyze your landing pages for friction points, providing data-backed recommendations to improve the user experience and drive more conversions.

Google Ads Frequently Asked Questions
Simply put, Google Ads is when you pay for placement on a Google search results page. These paid listings will always be marked with a "Sponsored" label. SEO (Search Engine Optimization), on the other hand, is when you don't pay for your placement on the search results page. Google's algorithm ranks your site organically based on factors like content quality, keywords, and site authority. While Google Ads offers immediate visibility, SEO builds long-term authority.
This is a widespread issue, and the answer is often related to budget. Your ads may be restricted by time of day or day of week settings, geographic targeting, or specific device settings, but a limited budget is usually the main culprit. For example, if your daily budget is $100 but the keywords you're bidding on could spend $500 per day, your ad will only show up for about one in every five searches. You must also consider that Google's algorithm may limit your ad exposure to only the times it believes will result in the most conversions.
You should start to see initial results within the first two weeks. However, we recommend analyzing at least 90 days of data to get a complete view of scalability and spot long-term trends. This timeframe allows the algorithm to gather sufficient information and for our optimizations to take full effect. It also lets us identify key trends like performance at the beginning versus the end of the month, differences between weekends and weekdays, or any specific days that show favoritism.
The amount you should spend depends on your goals. When determining a budget, we consider your target keywords' search volume and average cost-per-click (CPC). We then use this data to recommend the ideal campaign structure to align with your budget and goals. While you can start with less, we don't recommend running a Google Ads campaign with a budget of less than $3,000 per month to ensure we can gather enough data for proper analysis and optimization.
Even with top SEO rankings, you should use Google Ads for incremental traffic and as a defensive strategy. Data shows that when a paid search campaign is paused, an average of 89% of those paid clicks are lost and not recovered by an increase in organic clicks. This proves that paid ads provide unique value by capturing traffic you would otherwise lose. Furthermore, running ads for your branded terms is a crucial defensive tactic that prevents competitors from bidding on your keywords and stealing traffic that rightfully belongs to you.
