Google Ads management

Win the auction without outbidding it.

Google doesn't sell position to the highest bidder — it sells to the highest Ad Rank. We rebuild accounts so quality carries the weight, and you stop paying a premium for clicks your competitors already overpaid for.

A 21-point teardown of your account, sent as a PDF within 3 business days. Fifteen-minute call to walk through it. You keep the audit either way.

The leak

Your budget is fine. Where it lands isn't.

In almost every account we take over, the leaks are the same five. None shows up as a failure in the dashboard, so nobody goes looking.

All five are checked in the free audit.
The leak What your dashboard shows instead
Broad match with no negative list Healthy-looking traffic. You are paying full price for jobseekers, DIY searches, people hunting for something free, and services you don’t sell.
Conversions counting the wrong thing A conversion column that goes up. Page views, duplicate tags, a call action wired to the wrong field — the number is real, what it counts isn’t.
Budget on networks you didn’t pick A low cost per click and a big impression count. Display and Search Partners buy accidental taps cheaply, so your averages improve while enquiries don’t.
Bidding to the wrong signal Exactly the metric you told Google to chase. Maximise Clicks delivers clicks. Nobody ever asked it for booked jobs.
One page doing several jobs Nothing at all. Quality Score sits mid-range, you lose auctions you never see, and every click carries a premium that never appears as a line item.

The method

Six steps, in this order, every time.

Order matters more than any single tactic. Fix tracking after you scale spend and you've just bought a month of bad data at full price.

01

Tracking first

Before a single bid changes. GA4 and Google Ads reconciled, duplicate tags removed, one conversion action that means a booked job — not a form view, not a page load. Everything downstream depends on this being honest.

02

Query archaeology

Twelve months of search terms, read line by line. What you're actually paying for is rarely what you think you bought. This is where the negative keyword list comes from — earned from your data, not a template.

03

Rebuild the structure

Tight ad groups where the keyword, the ad and the landing page say the same thing. This is the lever on Quality Score, and Quality Score is the lever on everything you pay per click.

04

Bid to the outcome

The bid strategy follows the business goal, not the other way round. Target CPA where volume is steady, manual control where it isn't, and no automated strategy runs on data it can't learn from.

05

Fix the landing page

The best account in the world can't rescue a page that buries the phone number. You get specific, prioritised changes — and we'll build the page if you'd rather we just did it.

06

Report in plain English

One page, monthly: what it cost, what it produced, what we changed and why, what's next. No 40-slide deck of impressions. You should be able to read it in four minutes and know exactly where you stand.

Who works on your account

Three specialists. No handover.

Most agencies sell you a senior strategist and deliver someone else. That handover is where accounts drift. There isn't one here. Three of us, thirty-five years between us, and the person who sat on your call is the person building your campaigns.

Depth instead of headcount

Between us we've managed $12.3M in ad spend and close to 600,000 conversions. Paid search is a judgment problem, not a volume problem — and judgment is the one thing you can't hire cheaply.

Changes take a conversation

No change requests, no ticket queue, no waiting on a monthly review cycle. When your market moves on a Tuesday, your account moves on a Tuesday. That is the entire advantage of a small senior team, and we're not giving it up.

Google Partner, independently verified

Google audits our certifications, managed spend and client performance to keep the badge current — it's a third-party check on the work, not a logo we bought. See our listing ↗

We cap the book so every account gets weekly attention, and we can add specialist capacity when an account needs it. Occasionally that means a short wait to start — we'd rather tell you that than take the work and spread it thin.

Pricing

A flat fee. Never a cut of your spend.

Percentage-of-spend pricing pays your agency more the more they spend. That's a bad incentive and you shouldn't accept it. You pay the same whether we're managing $3,000 or $30,000 — so the only thing we're optimising for is your result.

Good fit

  • You’re spending at least $3,000/month and want it to work harder
  • You can tell us what a customer is worth
  • You want the ads and the page they land on handled by the same team
  • You want to understand what’s happening, not just receive a report

What we won’t do

  • Promise you a lead volume in writing. Nobody can, and the ones who do are guessing
  • Be the cheapest quote you get. We’re not trying to be
  • Hand your account to someone junior once you’ve signed
  • Bill a percentage of your spend, so we’re never paid more for spending more

The audit has no minimum. Whatever you're spending, we'll look at it — and if your budget is too small for management to pay for itself, the audit will show you that and we'll say so. You still keep the audit.

Straight answers

The things you're actually wondering.

How long before I see a difference?
Wasted spend stops in week one — negatives and tracking fixes are immediate. Quality Score responds over roughly 30 days as the new structure accumulates history. Judge cost per lead at 90 days; anything faster is noise, and any agency promising results in a fortnight is telling you what you want to hear.
Do I have to sign a contract?
No. Month to month, cancel with 30 days' notice. The account, the tracking and every campaign we build stay yours — they live in your Google Ads account, not ours. Lock-in contracts exist to protect agencies from their own results. Our longest client relationship is sixteen years old, and it has been month to month that entire time — we have had to re-earn it every thirty days for sixteen years.
Who actually does the work?
The person you talk to. There are three of us and all three are senior practitioners — no account managers relaying messages, and no handover to someone you've never met. You'll have your strategist's direct number, and they'll be the one in the account.
Are you big enough to handle my account?
We run 44 accounts and have managed $12.3M in ad spend to date, across single-location clinics, multi-location groups and e-commerce. Small team, large book — that combination is the point, not a limitation. We bring in specialist capacity when an account calls for it, and we cap how many we run at once so none of them get thin.
Where are you based?
Calgary, working with clients across Canada and the United States. Paid search hasn't needed a local agency for a decade — access is shared, calls run on your schedule, and reporting reads the same from anywhere. What matters is whether we understand your market, and that's what the first call is for.
Do you only do Google Ads?
Google Ads is the specialism, and it’s what most clients hire us for. We also build landing pages — often the fastest win available, because the page caps your Quality Score and Quality Score caps your Ad Rank. Those are quoted separately. We take on SEO and social work as well; that’s a separate conversation rather than part of a management fee.
$1,200 a month feels like a lot.
On a $6,000 account it's 20%. In one account we took over, 56% of the budget was going to Display at a 0.81% click-through rate — more than half of it buying accidental taps. If we can't find enough waste to cover our own fee, we'll say so in the audit and tell you not to hire us. That's most of what the free audit is for.
I already have an agency.
Then take the audit anyway and use it as a second opinion. It's free, it's specific, and if your current agency is doing good work the audit will show that clearly. Several of the accounts we manage started exactly this way.
What do you need from me to start?
Read-only access to your Google Ads and GA4 accounts, and twenty minutes to tell us what a good customer looks like and what one is worth. That's enough for the audit. Nothing changes in your account until you've seen it and said go.
