Paying for the clicks that are worth paying for
Google Ads puts you at the top of the results the day you switch it on. That is the appeal, and it is also the risk — the same speed that buys you leads will burn through a budget on searches that were never going to convert.
We run Google Search campaigns: the text ads that appear when somebody types a query with intent behind it. Most of the work is subtraction. Cutting the keywords that waste money, tightening match types, and making sure what happens after the click justifies the cost of the click.
SEO is the main thing we do, and that shapes how we treat ads. Paid search is the fastest way to learn which searches actually convert, and that knowledge feeds the organic work. Where a term is winnable organically, we would rather tell you than rent it to you indefinitely.
- Google Search campaigns, run inside an account you own outright
- Conversion tracking proven to work before the budget starts spending
- Negative keyword work every month, not just at launch
- Reported against cost per lead rather than clicks and impressions
what's included
What managing an account actually involves
Account structure
Campaigns and ad groups organised around the way people actually search, so bids and budgets can be steered rather than averaged out across everything at once.
Keyword research & match types
The terms worth bidding on, and how tightly to match them. Broad match spends fast, exact match starves — finding the balance for your market is most of the craft.
Negative keywords
The continuing work of cutting searches that cost money and never convert. This is where the majority of wasted spend in a neglected account is hiding.
Ad copy & testing
Several versions per ad group, tested against each other, with the losers retired instead of quietly left running for another six months.
Landing page alignment
Making sure the page the click lands on answers the search that produced it. No amount of campaign management rescues a page that does not match the ad.
Conversion tracking
Calls, forms and whatever else counts as a lead for you, tracked properly — so the reporting can be about outcomes instead of traffic.
Bidding & budget
A bid strategy suited to how much data the account actually has, with budget placed where it produces enquiries rather than impressions.
Location & schedule targeting
Ads showing where you genuinely work and when you can genuinely answer. For a local business this alone is often the largest single saving.
Monthly reporting
Spend, leads, cost per lead and what we changed — written in language you can act on.
how it works
From setup to a steady cost per lead
01
Audit & Plan
We go through your existing account if you have one, look at who is bidding against you, and work out which searches are worth buying before anything is built.
02
Build & Launch
Campaigns structured, tracking verified end to end, ads written and negative keywords loaded before launch rather than after the first invoice.
03
Test & Tighten
Search terms reviewed weekly, negatives added, ad copy tested, and budget moved steadily toward whatever is converting.
This is a good fit if
- You need leads sooner than SEO can realistically produce them
- You know roughly what one new customer is worth to you
- You serve a defined area around Atlanta, GA or Greenville, SC
- You are already spending on Google Ads and cannot tell what it is returning
- You have a page worth sending paid traffic to, or will build one
Probably not a fit if
- You are shopping for the cheapest management fee rather than the best return
- Your budget is small enough that management would consume most of it
- Enquiries will sit unanswered for days once they arrive
- You want ads instead of a website that works, rather than alongside one
questions
Questions we get asked
It depends on what a customer is worth to you and what clicks actually cost in your market — an attorney and a storage facility are not in the same universe. We look at real click costs for your terms before suggesting a number, rather than quoting a figure that merely sounds reasonable.
No. We run Google Search campaigns. Social advertising is a genuinely different discipline with different mechanics, and we would rather point you to somebody who does it properly than do it adequately ourselves.
You do. We work inside your Google Ads account, not a reseller account you cannot see into. If we stop working together, the account, its history and all of its data stay with you.
If you need leads this quarter, ads. If you want leads that do not stop the day you stop paying, SEO. Most businesses are best served by both — ads covering the wait while the organic work compounds underneath.
No. Costs move with competition, with the season and with whatever your competitors decide to bid next month. What we commit to is the work and the reporting: you will see what was spent, what it produced and what we changed.
Usually that is an advantage. An existing account carries search term history, which is the most useful data there is. We audit it first and tell you whether it is worth restructuring or starting again.
