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.
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
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
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.
High-intent keyword campaigns built from real purchase-intent data — not SEO keywords repurposed into ads.
Machine-learning campaigns that run across all Google properties — but only after we seed them with clean conversion data.
Product feed optimization, Merchant Center hygiene, and Shopping campaigns for e-commerce that can't afford to waste impressions.
Targeted banner campaigns for brand lift and top-of-funnel awareness. We use them strategically — never as a default.
Video campaigns from awareness to conversion. In-stream, discovery, shorts. Creative + targeting handled under one team.
Audience segmentation by intent depth — not just "everyone who visited the site." RLSA, dynamic remarketing, customer match.
Google Business Profile optimization, Local Service Ads, Maps targeting. Critical for HVAC, MedSpa, Real Estate, Home Services.
GA4, GTM, CallRail, server-side tagging, conversion API, Looker Studio dashboards. The foundation nothing else works without.
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.

Google Ads playbooks are not universal. What works for an HVAC operator fails for a DTC brand. Our specialization sits with US owner-operators in these industries — we've either run them ourselves or run them repeatedly for clients.
Emergency intent, call tracking, seasonal bidding, Local Services Ads.
Treatment-specific funnels, HIPAA-safe tracking, high-LTV targeting.
Agent teams, developers, listing velocity, qualified lead attribution.
Roofing, plumbing, remodeling. Speed-to-lead and local dominance.
New patient acquisition, recall automation, geo-targeted bidding.
Case-type campaigns, compliant creative, intake CRM integration.
Shopify, WooCommerce, feed optimization, Performance Max scaling.
Long sales cycles, attribution fixes, multi-touch lead nurture.
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.
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 management is part of our standard retainer structure. Every engagement starts with the paid audit. The retainer begins only if the audit shows the math works for both sides.

The things clients actually ask us before signing. If something's missing, email Valerii directly — the response comes from him, not a template.
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.
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.
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.
$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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
You've scrolled this far because something here resonated with your reality. The audit is how we earn the next step — together, with data, not promises.
