Google Ads

We offer Google Ads set-up and management services to all our existing clients currently on our systems. They are an effective way to generate quick traffic to your website, helping to make it a powerful lead generator and an asset to your business.

What are Google Ads?

Google AdWords, now known as Google Ads, is an online advertising platform developed by Google. It allows businesses to display ads on Google’s search engine results pages (SERPs), partner websites, and other Google-owned properties. Google Ads operates on a pay-per-click (PPC) model, where advertisers only pay when users click on their ads. Overall, Google Ads provides a powerful platform for businesses to promote their products or services effectively, reach their target audience, and achieve their marketing objectives. It’s essential to strategise and optimise your campaigns to make the most of this advertising platform. That’s where we come in!

Why should my business use Google Ads?

 

Reach Vast Audience

Google is the most popular search engine globally, with billions of searches conducted every day. By using Google Ads, you can tap into this massive user base and reach potential customers actively searching for products or services related to your business.

Targeted Advertising

Google Ads provides a range of targeting options to help you reach the right audience. You can target specific keywords, geographic locations, languages, and demographics, ensuring that your ads are shown to the most relevant users. This precision targeting can lead to higher conversion rates and better return on investment (ROI).

Cost Effective

With Google Ads, you have control over your advertising budget. You can set a daily budget and adjust it as needed. Since you only pay when someone clicks on your ad, you have a level of cost control and can optimize your campaigns to maximize your budget.

Measurable Results

Google Ads provides comprehensive analytics and reporting tools. You can track various metrics, such as clicks, impressions, conversions, and cost per acquisition, giving you valuable insights into the performance of your campaigns. This data helps you make data-driven decisions and refine your advertising strategy for better results.

Quick & Flexible

Unlike traditional advertising channels, Google Ads allows you to set up and launch campaigns quickly. You can create and modify ads, adjust bidding strategies, and optimize your campaigns in real-time. This flexibility allows you to respond to market changes promptly and make adjustments to improve your campaign performance.

Ad Formats

Google Ads offers various ad formats to suit different marketing goals. You can create text ads, image ads, video ads, and interactive ads. Additionally, Google’s ad extensions enable you to enhance your ads with additional information, such as site links, call buttons, location details, and more, making your ads more engaging and informative.

Remarketing Opportunities

Google Ads allows you to implement remarketing campaigns, targeting users who have previously visited your website or interacted with your brand. This enables you to re-engage potential customers and encourage them to take desired actions, such as making a purchase or signing up for a newsletter.

Managed Plans

Google Ads

As a Google Partner, we understand that no two businesses’ needs and budgets are the same. That’s why, before you begin Google Ads, we can run forecasts to gauge the estimated costs and suggested budgets. We charge a nominal setup fee, and our monthly management fee is based on a percentage of your ad budget, which is paid directly to Google. And the best part? We don’t have lock-in contracts, so if we find the exercise is not worth the return on investment, you can pause at any time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do Google Ads Work?

Google generated $307.39 billion in revenue in 2023. If ads didn’t work, businesses wouldn’t spend that kind of money on them. Google Ads do work, but not for everyone. Many of our clients rely on Google Ads each month for the majority of their enquiries and product sales. For many, it’s the most cost-effective form of marketing.

However, we’ve also had clients who didn’t see great results in the past. The only way to know if it will work for you is to try it. We recommend committing to a three-month trial with a set budget to evaluate the effectiveness of Google Ads for your business.

Do Google Ads help SEO

Although not directly, the information we gather from running ads significantly aids our SEO efforts. We prefer to run both SEO and Google Ads for our clients in tandem, as they complement each other. Google Ads provide immediate traffic, leads, and sales. The keywords that perform well in our ad campaigns become targets for our SEO strategy.

Since only about 10% of people click on Google Ads, identifying effective keywords through ads allows us to pursue the larger SEO traffic for those keywords. This integrated approach ensures we maximise your online visibility and return on investment.

What return should I aim for?

Different products or services require different returns on investment. Our clients see returns from Google Ads in various ways. For instance, you might spend $1 and expect $4 back in direct sales on your site, or spend $20 to generate at least one enquiry for your services. This is the direct return.

Additionally, there are other types of returns. A new customer might make an initial purchase, but with effective engagement, you can win them over for future sales, leading to repeat business. Encourage satisfied customers to refer friends and family to you, further expanding your customer base. Each purchase from you also means a lost sale for your competitor, helping you gain market share.

By increasing your sales volume, you achieve better returns on your staff and business costs. During slow periods, you can increase your ad spend to generate more leads, and reduce it during busy times. Google Ads also allow you to target new areas for expansion or to secure more work when you hire a new employee.

How do I pay Google?

We set up your Ad account with your credit card directly linked to Google, ensuring that any ad costs are paid directly to Google. Unlike some companies that have you pay them first and then they pay Google (often adding sneaky commissions), we maintain complete transparency with all our costs.

How do managment fees work?

Our monthly fees for managing Google Ads are determined by your budget. For example:

  • For budgets up to $500 per month, the management fee is $50 per month.
  • For budgets between $500 and $1,000 per month, the management fee is $100 per month.

If your monthly spend fluctuates, the management fee will adjust accordingly. We average the spend and management fee every three months to ensure fairness and transparency.

Do I need a specialised landing page?

Creating a landing page for a Google Ad campaign significantly boosts conversions by providing a focused, relevant experience for users. It targets specific audiences, enhances ad relevance, and improves overall performance. This approach leads to higher engagement, better quality scores, and ultimately a more cost-effective advertising strategy.

Is there a setup fee?

Yes, our setup fee includes an initial consultation and planning session, account and campaign setup under our Google Agency Partner Manager account, and goal and conversion tracking configuration. This comprehensive setup ensures your campaigns are strategically planned, accurately tracked, and optimally managed for the best possible results.
