why google ads matters
$2

For every $1 spent on Google Ads, the average business makes $2 back — if the campaign is set up right.

Source: Google Economic Impact Report. The operative phrase is "if set up right" — most businesses lose 30–50% of that return to preventable tracking and targeting errors.

$14K

Average wasted ad spend identified in the first week of a Resonate Google Ads audit.

Average reduction in cost per conversion across Google Ads clients in their first 90 days with us.

who this fits

We don't work with everyone. On purpose

Google Ads works brilliantly for some businesses and wastes money for others. Before you book the audit, here's who we're built for — and who we're not.

good fit

You're the right client if

+

You're a US owner-operator between $1M and $20M in annual revenue

+

You already spend $3K+/month on Google Ads (or plan to)

+

You want measurable outcomes, not vanity metrics like impressions or clicks

+

You accept that growth takes 90 days minimum — no six-day miracles promised

+

You're willing to pay for an audit upfront before any retainer starts

+

You treat marketing as a system, not a task to outsource and forget

not a fit

We'll respectfully pass if

-

You're looking for a vendor who'll "just run the ads" — no audit, no strategy, no data

-

Your budget is below $3K/month on ads — the economics don't work for either of us

-

You want a free consultation before committing to anything

-

You need results within 2 weeks or it's a problem

-

You want us to take over without touching your tracking, CRM, or landing pages

-

You're measuring success by number of leads, regardless of quality

8 directions inside google ads

Google Ads isn't one product. It's eight

Most agencies run "Google Ads" as a single service — usually just Search campaigns on autopilot. We manage all eight directions because the real wins come from combining them, not treating them as silos.

Search

High-intent keyword campaigns built from real purchase-intent data — not SEO keywords repurposed into ads.

Why we audit before we execute

Launching Google Ads without an audit is how you burn $14K/month and call it "testing."

Every agency we replace starts the same way: they inherit broken tracking, ignore it, launch new campaigns, and blame Google's algorithm when results underperform. We don't launch anything until we can measure it.

The audit is how we earn the retainer. You pay once, upfront, between $750 and $2,500. You get a complete diagnosis of your current Google Ads setup — what's leaking money, what's working, and a ranked 90-day plan. Most clients recoup the audit fee in saved ad spend before the plan even launches.

Who actually runs your campaigns

You'll never hear "let me check with my team" again

Most agencies sell you to a senior, then hand you to a junior. Here, the person who built your audit is the person who runs your campaigns — and you have their direct line.

The Resonate hiring bar

1 in 17 PPC applicants make the cut

Every specialist passes a paid audit exercise on a real client account before they're hired. We measure diagnostic skill — not résumé gloss. Below is the floor, not the ceiling.

Google Ads FAQ

The real questions

The things clients actually ask us before signing. If something's missing, email Valerii directly — the response comes from him, not a template.

ask us anything
01
Why do I have to pay for the audit before you'll manage my Google Ads?
×

Because managing Google Ads blindly is how you lose money on autopilot. Without an audit we don't know what's broken in your tracking, what your real CAC is, or where your budget is actually leaking.

The audit takes five business days of work by senior specialists. Charging for it means we do it properly. Most clients recover the audit cost within the first 2–3 weeks of the retainer through wasted-spend savings alone.

02
How fast will I see results from Google Ads?
×

First wins implemented within 2–4 weeks. Meaningful shift in performance by day 30. Predictable system-level results inside 90 days.

Anyone promising "results in 7 days" is either running a tiny test budget with no real data, or lying. Google Ads needs 4–6 weeks of learning at minimum before Performance Max and bid strategies stabilize.

03
Do I need Perfomance Max or are Search campaigns enough?
×

Depends on your business model, conversion volume, and margin structure. For local service businesses with phone conversions, well-structured Search + Local Services Ads often outperform PMax. For e-commerce with 40+ conversions/month, PMax is usually essential.

The audit answers this question with your actual data — not with a generic recommendation.

04
What's the minimum ad spend you work with?
×

$3,000/month on ads as a minimum — below that, the math doesn't work. Below $3K, you can't get enough data to make statistically meaningful optimization decisions, and our management fee relative to your ad spend is too high to be economical for you.

If you're below $3K/month, the honest answer is to run it yourself for now — we'll happily tell you that during the audit if it applies to you.

05
Will you fix my broken tracking before running new campaigns?
×

Yes. This is non-negotiable. We won't launch anything new until GA4, GTM, server-side tagging, CRM integration, and call tracking (if applicable) are all wired up and verified.

Running ads with broken tracking is how you spend $22K/month and can't tell a real lead from a bot. We refuse to operate that way.

06
Do I own my Google Ads account and data?
×

Always. Your Google Ads account stays in your name. Your GA4 property is yours. Your CallRail account is yours. We're linked as a manager — we don't hold your data hostage.

If you ever want to end the engagement, you keep everything: dashboards, campaigns, audiences, documentation. That's the whole point of a month-to-month model — we have to keep earning the retainer.

07
Do you guarantee a specific ROAS or number of leads?
×

No. Any agency that guarantees specific numbers before seeing your account is either lying or pricing that guarantee into an inflated retainer you'll pay for anyway.

What we do guarantee: a five-day audit with deliverables you own, a 90-day plan with measurable KPIs per phase, and month-to-month retainers — if we don't deliver, you leave. That's the accountability model.

12
Pairs well with

Google Ads rarely wins alone. It wins in a system

Paid search drives immediate intent. But intent is converted by landing pages, nurtured by remarketing across other channels, and amplified by organic visibility. The three services below are the most common pairings we run alongside Google Ads.

/ 01 · perfomance

SEO

Google Ads captures demand, SEO creates it. Running both under one team means keyword intelligence flows in both directions — paid data informs organic strategy, organic data shrinks paid spend on terms you already rank for.

Explore seo
/ 03 · perfomance

Meta Ads

Google catches people searching. Meta catches them scrolling. Running both in sync means unified audiences, creative reuse, and cross-channel attribution — so you’re not double-counting or missing conversions.

/ 05 · Creative & Build

Web Development

The best ads in the world can’t fix a landing page that doesn’t convert. Our web team builds conversion-first landing pages that we test and iterate on alongside the campaigns that drive traffic to them.
