Reach the Right People When It Matters

Show up where it counts, right when your audience is looking. We’ll help you reach your ideal customers exactly when they’re searching. No guesswork, no secret strategies.

Is Your PPC a Leaky Bucket?

Budgets leak when ads run in isolation—targeting only a single platform or missing critical audience segments. Poor integration, unclear ROI, and scattered efforts dilute impact.

We connect the dots so your PPC ads reach the right platforms, audiences, and channels to maximize revenue.

Our Standard PPC Process

Random Ads Lead to Random Results.

Businesses often assume running ads equals results, but without a thoughtful plan, campaigns underperform and budgets evaporate.

We analyze competitor benchmarks, media habits, and audience insights to ensure your ads deliver results, not just impressions.

Ads and Budgets are Just the Beginning.

Managing budgets is just one piece of the puzzle. Real strategy identifies what works—and why.

We focus on identifying funnel stages, selecting the right channels, placements, and tactics, aligning landing pages, A/B testing ad creatives, analyzing competitor strategies, and tracking performance metrics.

Ads are Easy to Start. Hard to Perfect.

We don’t “set and forget” your campaigns. We analyze real-time audience behavior, adjust bids, test ad placements, and fine-tune messaging to maximize performance.

While others launch ads without a second thought, we work tirelessly in the background—so you can focus on what matters and sleep easy.

Vanity Metrics Don’t Pay the Bills

Our reports go beyond metrics—they focus on what truly impacts your bottom line. High-performing creatives are scaled, top audience segments are expanded, and underperforming elements are optimized or eliminated.

How long will you chase vanity metrics? We help you focus on what drives sales.

Understanding PPC
Choosing the Right PPC Agency
Processes & Pricing
Management & Reporting

Every day, potential customers search for businesses like yours. If your brand isn’t visible, they’ll choose your competitors. PPC (Pay-Per-Click) advertising ensures your business reaches high-intent audiences when they’re ready to act.

Here’s how PPC drives growth:

  • Reach the Right Audience: Target customers by location, demographics, and browsing behavior to connect with people ready to take action.
  • Budget Control: Pay only for clicks, ensuring every dollar goes toward potential leads without wasted ad spend.
  • Clear Data Insights: Track impressions, clicks, and conversions to measure performance and refine your strategy

PPC boosts sales, generates leads, and enhances brand visibility by showing your business at the exact moment it matters.

PPC is most effective when tailored to your business goals and market needs.

When PPC Works Best:

  • Testing New Products: Gauge demand for new launches or markets.
  • Seasonal Campaigns: Boost holiday sales or event traffic.
  • Local Reach: Attract nearby customers searching for services like "plumbers near me."

When to Rethink PPC:

  • Low Margins: Ad spend may exceed returns for low-margin products.
  • Niche Markets: Requires precise targeting for limited audiences.

Key Considerations: If you can track sales, know customer lifetime value, and commit to refining campaigns, PPC offers immediate visibility and scalable growth opportunities.

Every stage of the customer journey—from first impressions to loyal repeat buyers—provides valuable insights into your campaign's performance. By analyzing specific metrics at each step, you can pinpoint strengths, address weak spots, and focus your budget where it delivers the most impact.

Here are the key metrics to prioritize at each stage of your PPC campaign.


Awareness Stage: Building Initial Interest
  • Are people noticing your ads?
    Track impressions and click-through rate (CTR). If CTR is low despite high impressions, refine your ad copy or visuals.

  • Is your audience relevant?
    Check audience insights to ensure your ads are targeting the right people. Irrelevant targeting wastes ad spend.

  • How is your brand perceived?
    Use brand lift studies or engagement rates. High clicks but quick bounces suggest your messaging may not resonate.


Consideration Stage: Driving Engagement and Interest
  • Are users interacting with your content?
    Monitor on-site metrics like time on page or bounce rate. If visitors aren’t engaging, your landing page might not align with your ad promise.

  • Are you nurturing leads effectively?
    Measure actions like email sign-ups, downloads, or demo requests. Low conversions here may mean your CTA or offer lacks appeal.

  • Are remarketing ads working?
    Track engagement metrics for users revisited via retargeting. Weak results may indicate unaddressed pain points.


Conversion Stage: Turning Interest into Action
  • Are your ads driving sales or sign-ups?
    Use conversion rate and return on ad spend (ROAS) as key indicators. A low conversion rate often signals friction in the journey or ad misalignment.

  • What’s your cost per acquisition (CPA)?
    Monitor CPA to ensure efficiency. High CPA may require refining targeting or improving landing pages.

  • Is your campaign scalable?
    Assess whether ROI supports increasing your budget. A drop in performance with higher spend might suggest a strategy adjustment is needed.


Retention Stage: Maximizing Lifetime Value
  • Are you retaining customers?
    Track repeat purchases or customer lifetime value (CLV). Low retention may call for loyalty-focused campaigns.

  • Are upsells or cross-sells effective?
    Measure performance of ads promoting complementary products. Weak results may point to mismatched offers.

  • Is your email remarketing boosting conversions?
    Evaluate email click-through rates and post-click actions. Poor results might stem from generic messaging or irrelevant offers.

Running a PPC campaign might seem as simple as setting up ads and watching clicks roll in, but there's a lot more happening behind the scenes. From advanced tracking to ongoing optimization, achieving the best ROI requires expertise, strategy, and the right tools.

While we encourage new businesses to start small and manage PPC in-house if budgets are tight, hiring an agency can make a significant difference in the long run.

Social media platforms favor advertisers who spend, but sometimes your ads appear on irrelevant or shady third-party websites. Even if your metrics look great, you might not be getting any actual leads.

We often see clients spending money without proper tracking, having landing pages that fail to communicate value, or using creatives that aren’t effective.

If you’re just starting out, managing PPC yourself can help you stay within budget. We recommend using free online resources and starting with small, targeted campaigns. Track your performance carefully and refine your efforts to build a solid foundation for future growth. When you’re ready to scale, we’re here to help you achieve tenfold results.

Choosing between a specialized PPC agency and a full-service agency has its pros and cons. We may be a little biased, but having a full-service agency can help you uplift your marketing efforts tenfold because of their breadth of experience and bird’s-eye view.

Today's customers explore multiple channels before making a decision: clicking PPC ads, reading reviews, browsing social media, and comparing options. This fragmented journey demands consistency across all touchpoints. A full-service agency can tell a cohesive story and optimize the entire customer journey.

As we have experience working in PPC, SEO, and in-house marketing teams, we often see that businesses sometimes lack the resources to hire top talent. When they hire a specialized agency, the teams don’t have full understanding or communicate with the leadership team.

And thus the opportunities fall through the cracks.

Here are some real-life examples:

  1. Landing Page Gaps: One client ran ads leading to a slow-loading homepage. Click-through rates were great, but the bounce rate soared. A full-service agency would’ve addressed these backend issues to prevent wasted spend.

  2. Missed SEO Opportunities: A PPC campaign uncovered high-performing keywords, but the specialized agency didn’t leverage them for organic growth. A full-service approach would align PPC insights with SEO for long-term results.

  3. Inconsistent Messaging: A client’s PPC ads promoted “free consultations,” but the website didn’t mention this offer. A full-service team ensures ad promises align across all channels, avoiding customer confusion.

The cost of PPC management depends on the pricing model and the services provided. Here’s a breakdown:

1. Common Pricing Models
  • Flat Fee: Fixed monthly cost, often $500–$1,500.
  • Percentage of Ad Spend: Base fee + 10–20% of ad budget.
  • Hourly Rate: $70–$200 per hour.
  • Performance-Based: Fees tied to leads or sales.
  • Hybrid: Combination of flat fee and performance incentives.
2. Services Typically Included in PPC Management
  • Ad Campaign Setup
  • Campaign Strategy Development
  • Ad Copywriting & Creative
  • Audience Targeting
  • Pixel & Conversion Tracking
  • Campaign Optimization
  • Retargeting Campaigns
  • Ad Performance Monitoring
  • A/B Testing
  • Landing Page Optimization (For Ads)
  • Ad Account Audits
  • Budget Management
  • Monthly Reporting
  • Consultation & Strategy Adjustments
  • Platform-Specific Expertise

Understanding these pricing models and included services helps determine which agency aligns best with your goals and budget.

We start with a three-month trial for flexibility and to assess fit. Afterward, we suggest a six-month contract to drive consistent growth, with terms tailored to your business goals.

If you switch agencies or move PPC in-house, we ensure a smooth transition by transferring ad account access, campaign data, creative assets, and performance reports.

Some proprietary tools or templates may not be transferable based on your agreement, but we’ll collaborate with your team to maintain continuity.

Staying updated on your PPC campaigns shouldn’t feel overwhelming or leave you in the dark. We focus on giving you clear, actionable insights that connect directly to your business goals.

Here’s how we keep you informed:

  • Bi-Weekly Check-Ins (For Larger Budgets): For businesses managing high ad spend, we provide detailed mid-month reviews to refine strategy and uncover new opportunities.
  • Opportunity-Driven Updates: Instead of generic data, we focus on metrics that highlight areas for growth—what’s working, where we can improve, and untapped potential in your campaigns.
  • Monthly Campaign Analysis: Each month, we deliver a tailored breakdown of campaign performance—complete with ROI analysis, strategy shifts, and clear next steps.

Our goal is to make every update meaningful. Instead of drowning you in numbers, we help you understand how your campaigns are driving results and where we’ll focus next to help your business grow.

Yes, you’ll have real-time access to campaign data through tools like Google Ads Dashboard, Google Analytics, and Data Studio. These platforms provide transparent insights into clicks, conversions, and ROI anytime you need.

Yes, we implement comprehensive tracking and provide you full access to user data. Without proper tracking, ad spend is wasted, customer insights are lost, and you’re left guessing what drives conversions.

Implenting tracking answers critical questions like:

  • Which marketing channels generate the highest ROI?
  • Where are customers dropping off before completing a purchase?
  • How can you target high-value audiences more effectively?

We take the guesswork out of your strategy. If you are ready to make every dollar count? Let’s talk!
