Google Ads management services

Google Ads account management services

Profit-focused Google search marketing for small businesses

Get real value from your Google Ads’ budget

Using Google Ads is easy: you create an account, target some keywords, write your advertisements, and hit publish. Google makes the process simple. After all, your advertising dollars are going straight to them, right?

Using Google Ads profitably, though, is another thing.

When you use Google Ads profitably, that means you make more money on sales and leads generated through your ads than what you pay Google to run the ads in the first place.

For small to medium-sized businesses with modest marketing budgets, using Google Ads profitably is more important than ever. But it’s hard to do without knowing your way around the platform.

If you want to cut down on wasted spend, know where your current spend is going, and actually make a profit on your advertising spend in Google Ads, our Google Ads management services can help.

We can set up and manage your Google Ads account to perform in line with your return on investment goals, set based on your own data. We can achieve and then maintain your profitability goals, or scale our strategies and approach to help you grow.

Whenever you’re satisfied with your consistent monthly ROI in Google Ads, you can choose to adopt a lower maintenance management fee.

Though the way we manage client Google Ads accounts is unique to each business, our focus is always on profitability and our overarching strategy is to maximise your return on investment.

If you’re ready to reach your ROI goals with Google Ads and grow your business online, please get in touch.

Our difference

Clear direction

You’ll know exactly how your Google Ads budget is being spent – as well as what to expect from it – because we'll set realistic return on investment goals informed by your data from the start.

Transparent & jargon-free

We're clear about your account’s performance and explain exactly what’s going on, using jargon-free language you’ll understand. You’ll have access to regular 1-on-1 meetings with our team, unlimited email support, and comprehensive (but clear) reports you can view at any time.

Honest service

Not every business is ready to use Google Ads. It’s not a fix-all solution; it’s best when supporting well-converting businesses ready to reach more of their people. That means if we don’t think Google Ads is the right solution for you right now, we’ll tell you.  

If we do work together, you’ll always own your Google Ads account, so you’ll have total control and access from the get-go.

Focussed on meaningful results

We're interested in getting sales and leads for your business – we're not so interested in metrics such as clicks. We want to know that your Google Ads efforts are achieving a profitable ROI.

What’s included:

A thorough review of your existing website landing pages

We want to make sure your website pages are user- and Google-friendly, and that it’s easy for your website visitors to contact or buy from you on those pages.

With experience in website copywriting as well as Google Ads, we know how to ensure your website pages meet Google’s best practices and speak directly to your audiences’ needs with benefit-focussed content, strong call-to-actions and a seamless check-out or contact process.

Initial & ongoing strategy sessions

We’ll get to know your business well: what your mission and values are, who your ideal customers are, and why these customers should choose you over everyone else.

We’ll do our own research on your industry and target market, and together we’ll devise and follow a clear strategy that’s informed by your current data and focussed on realistic goals.

Technical audit and/or set-up

If we’re not collecting data from both your website’s and Google Ads account’s performance – and if the two platforms can’t ‘communicate’ with one another – to track which Google ad clicks are leading to website purchases, for example, we’ll have no idea what’s working in your account and what’s not.

We’ll complete an initial audit of your current systems and set-ups, if required, and configure the necessary accounts and conversion tracking to enable accurate data collection for analytics. This way, we can make informed decisions within your Google Ads account based on accurate data.

Google Ads’ Campaigns audit and/or set-up

I’ll review current or previous campaign performance, building from an existing campaign’s foundations if it makes sense to do so. Otherwise, I’ll create new campaigns, incorporating insights from previous campaign data where possible. Campaigns and ad messaging will be developed and structured according to our agreed strategy.

Ongoing campaign management

We’ll monitor your account’s performance on an ongoing weekly or bi-weekly basis, depending on your account’s needs, to make adjustments to bring that performance in line with your ROI goals in Google Ads. We’ll continue to test different concepts in your account to continue to improve performance, and we’ll set up live reporting dashboards for you to access at any time.
