Why Invest in Google Ads?

Pay-Per-Click advertising from search ads to retargeting and display can play a major role in your online marketing strategy. But it takes more than buying clicks to succeed.

It's vital to set your account up for success from the beginning, and regularly invest time to monitor ad performance and make adjustments to ensure you're getting the most out of your ad spend.

In short, it can take a tremendous amount of time to build and run a Google ad campaign on your own.

That's where we come in.

Pro tip for Illinois Valley businesses: Pair Google Ads with our Local SEO services (includes review generation guidance) and a high-converting website from our web design packages. Clients who combine channels consistently see stronger Quality Scores and lower costs per lead.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much should I budget for Google Ads?
Your budget depends on your industry, competition, and goals. We recommend starting with at least $300-500/month in ad spend to gather meaningful data. We'll work with you to determine the right budget based on your specific situation and goals.
How long does it take to see results?
You'll start seeing traffic and data immediately when your ads go live. However, the first 30 days are a learning phase where we gather data to optimize your campaigns. Most clients see significant improvements in ROI within 2-3 months of continuous optimization.
What's included in the management fee?
Our management fee is billed monthly and covers strategy development, campaign setup, ongoing optimization, keyword management, ad copywriting, conversion tracking, and monthly reporting. The minimum management fee listed on each plan is a monthly minimum. The ad spend (what you pay Google directly) is separate from our management fee.
Can I see how my campaigns are performing?
Absolutely! You'll have access to a real-time performance dashboard and receive monthly reports detailing your campaign performance, including clicks, conversions, cost per conversion, and ROI. We believe in complete transparency.
Do I own my Google Ads account?
Yes! You retain full ownership of your Google Ads account at all times. We manage it on your behalf, but you have complete access and ownership of all your campaigns, data, and historical performance.
