Google Ads Management

Google Ads Management for Local and National Businesses

Most Google Ads accounts bleed budget on broken match types, untracked conversions, and campaigns that never get past the learning phase. We rebuild the account around a clear conversion signal, then scale spend only when the math works. Search, Performance Max, YouTube, and Demand Gen, run by an operator who's spent over $20M on paid media.

What's Included

What Does Our Google Ads Management Actually Include?

Google Ads is not a single lever. It's a connected system of tracking, structure, creative, and bidding. We run all of it as one account, not seven disconnected campaigns.

Account Audit

Full diagnostic of structure, tracking, and waste before we touch a campaign

Conversion Tracking

GA4, GTM, offline conversions, server-side tracking when needed

Search Campaigns

High-intent keywords, exact-match priority, negative-keyword discipline

Performance Max

Asset groups, audience signals, brand exclusions, search-theme inputs

YouTube + Demand Gen

Video ads for prospecting and Discover-feed placements

Ad Copy + Assets

RSA headlines, sitelinks, callouts, images, and short-form video

Landing Pages

Built and A/B tested, not borrowed from your homepage

ROAS Reporting

CPL, CPA, ROAS, and revenue, not impressions and clicks

Local Service Business or National Brand. The System Works for Both.

Most agencies pick a lane. We run the playbook for whichever one you're in. The structure is different. The discipline is the same.

Local PPC

Tight geo-targeting around the cities and zip codes that actually buy. Call tracking, location extensions, and Google Business Profile integration. Built for plumbers, dentists, med spas, contractors, attorneys, and any service business under a $50K monthly spend.

  • Radius and zip-code targeting around your real service area

How Much Does Google Ads Management Cost?

Most accounts pay management fees two ways: a flat monthly retainer, or a percentage of ad spend. We use both, depending on size. Our flat retainer starts at $1,500 per month for local accounts and scales with spend for national accounts.

Ad budget is separate. Local service businesses usually run $2,000 to $15,000 per month in spend. National brands run $25,000 to $500,000+. The right number is whatever the account can absorb without breaking unit economics.

If your last agency charged a flat 15% of spend without a floor, they had a financial reason to keep your spend high. Our pricing decouples our incentive from your media budget. We make money when the account works.

No setup fees. No long-term contracts after the first 90 days. You own the account, the conversions, and the creative.

The Process

How We Build Profitable Google Ads Accounts

Three phases. The first 30 days are foundation. Days 31 to 90 are scale. After that, the account compounds.

Days 1–30 · Foundation

Audit, Conversion Tracking, and Account Restructure

Before we change a single bid, we fix what's broken. Most accounts arrive with deduped conversions, leaky GA4 events, and Performance Max campaigns eating brand search. We rebuild the foundation so every spend decision is based on real conversion data.

  • Full account audit: structure, match types, negatives, asset coverage
  • GA4, Google Tag Manager, and offline conversion setup
  • Brand exclusion lists across Performance Max and search
  • Baseline ROAS and CPA benchmarks before any optimization

Days 31–60 · Build

Campaign Buildout, Creative, and Landing Pages

New search campaigns by intent tier. Performance Max with proper feed segmentation and audience signals. Landing pages built for the ad, not pulled from your homepage. Two creative variants per campaign so the algorithm has something to learn from.

  • Search campaigns segmented by buyer intent and match type
  • Performance Max with audience signals and asset-group control
  • Conversion-rate-optimized landing pages on a fast stack
  • RSAs, sitelinks, callouts, and short-form video assets
Days 61–90 · Scale

Scale Spend, Layer YouTube, and Pair with Organic

Once the account is converting at target CPA, we scale spend in 20% increments and layer in YouTube prospecting and Demand Gen for upper-funnel reach. Paid is most efficient when it runs alongside organic. Pages we already rank for cost less to bid on, and brand search lifts when YouTube and SEO are present.

  • Bid and budget scaling tied to CPA and ROAS thresholds
  • YouTube prospecting and Demand Gen for cold audiences
  • Paid + organic search overlap analysis to cut wasted bids
  • Monthly performance review with revenue and pipeline impact

Why Google Ads Works Best Paired with Organic Search

Paid ads stop the second you stop paying. Organic compounds. Run them alone and you get one of two failure modes: a media budget you can never turn off, or a slow ramp that costs you 12 months of pipeline.

Run them together and the math changes. Brand searches lift when YouTube and content are present. Quality Scores rise when your landing pages already rank organically. CPCs drop on terms where you have organic real estate. Cold-audience ROAS climbs when prospects can validate you in a Google search before they buy.

Most clients run our paid ads alongside SEO services and local SEO. The system is designed to work together, not in silos.

How to Spot a Bad Google Ads Agency (and What We Do Differently)

If you've worked with a PPC agency before, you've seen at least one of these. Here's how we're built differently.

You Own Everything

Your account, your conversions, your creative. We build inside your Google Ads MCC, not ours. If we part ways, the account stays with you. No hostage-taking.

Real Conversion Tracking

Phone calls, form fills, qualified leads, and revenue. Not "conversions" that include 8-second page visits and sitelink clicks. We tie spend to real outcomes.

ROAS, Not Reports

Monthly reports tied to revenue and pipeline. CPL, CPA, ROAS, and cost-per-qualified-lead. No 40-page PDFs full of impression share and click-through rate.

Operator-Run, Not Junior-Staffed

Joshua runs strategy on every account. You're not handed off to a 22-year-old account manager who's never spent their own money on ads.

Our Commitment: Profitable Spend, Not Padded Reports

Paid ads can't carry a guarantee the way organic can, because spend changes weekly. What we commit to: a transparent ROAS target before we launch, monthly performance reviews against it, and month-to-month after the first 90 days. If the account isn't profitable, you walk.

FAQ

Questions About Google Ads Management

For local accounts, $2,000 per month in ad spend. Below that, the account doesn't have enough conversion volume to optimize against. For national or ecommerce accounts, the floor is $10,000 per month so Performance Max and YouTube can actually learn.

We specialize in Google Ads and YouTube. For most local and lead-gen businesses, that's the highest-intent channel and the best place to start. If your account is mature on Google and you need Meta, Bing, or LinkedIn coverage, we'll bring in a vetted partner rather than dabble.

SEO is a long-term asset. Google Ads is a short-term flow valve. SEO compounds. PPC produces today. Most clients run both, with paid funding the cash flow that keeps the lights on while organic is being built. See SEO services for the organic side.

Initial 90-day engagement so we can complete the audit, tracking rebuild, and campaign launch. After 90 days, everything is month-to-month. No annual lock-ins. You stay because the account performs.

Yes. Google Ads is platform work. Geography of the agency doesn't matter. We've managed national ecommerce accounts and lead-gen brands across the United States from Fort Myers. Reviews, Slack, Loom, and weekly performance calls keep the work tight regardless of location.

We start with a free account audit before any commitment. You'll get a written diagnostic of structure, tracking, and waste, plus a revised plan. If the account is healthy, we'll tell you. If it's bleeding, we'll show you exactly where and what it's worth fixing.
