What does a Google Ads agency do?

A Google Ads agency plans, builds and manages ads in Google Search and related formats. This is also called PPC, short for pay-per-click. You only pay when someone clicks. That’s why the choice of search terms decides how much of your budget pays off.

In our setup, automated AI processes handle the ongoing work. They exclude unprofitable search terms, test ad copy and flag anomalies. We set the direction and budget with you.

It all rests on clean tracking. Until Google knows which click led to a real inquiry, the account optimizes for the wrong thing.

Budget without insight

By the end of the month the money is gone, but nobody can say which campaign brought in inquiries.

Wrong search terms

Your ad shows up for job searches and how-to queries. Those clicks cost just as much as the good ones.

Automation without oversight

Performance Max and automatic bidding are only as good as the signals they receive. Left unchecked, they learn the wrong thing.

What our Google Ads work includes.

Google Ads audit

We review your account, tracking and search terms. You see where budget is leaking and which change is worth making first.

Campaign setup

A structure that fits your services and margins. Brand, service and competitor campaigns run separately, so you can attribute every euro.

Ads and variants

The AI writes plenty of copy in your brand voice. We select, correct and test the variants against each other.

Bid and budget control

Budget shifts to what brings in inquiries. Bids on strong terms adjust, weak campaigns get less.

Search term upkeep

Unprofitable terms get cut continuously, good ones get added. Every automatic change is logged.

Performance Max and Demand Gen

We use these formats when there is enough data. And we check exactly where the ads run.

Tracking and conversions

Inquiries and closed deals flow back into the account, including from the CRM. That way, bid management learns from real results.

Reports that mean something

A live dashboard shows cost per inquiry and results per campaign. If something looks off, we reach out without being asked.

  1. 1

    Analysis

    We connect ad accounts, Search Console and Analytics. The AI shows where budget is leaking and where tracking has gaps.

Frequently asked questions about Google Ads.

How much does Google Ads cost?

You pay the ad budget to Google and a management fee to the agency. The budget depends mostly on click prices in your industry, which range from a few cents to over 60 euros depending on the term. After the audit, we give you a specific figure for both.

What does a Google Ads agency charge to manage your account?

That depends on the size of your account and the work it takes. After the audit, you get a proposal that shows exactly what work is included. Your account always stays yours.

What is the difference between PPC and SEO?

PPC is paid ads and works from the day they go live. SEO is the unpaid results, which take time to build and last longer. For many companies, the combination makes sense.

How quickly will Google Ads bring in inquiries?

The first clicks come in as soon as the campaign is live. Bid management usually takes a few weeks to learn enough. So we plan for a learning phase in the first weeks and tell you about it up front.

Is Performance Max worth it?

That depends on your data. With clean tracking and enough conversions, the format can work well. Without that foundation, it often looks in the wrong places. That’s why we test it against search campaigns.

Does the AI make decisions about my budget?

It works within rules we set together, such as budget limits and brand voice. Critical changes come to us as proposals and only go live once approved.

Do I own the Google Ads account?

Yes. The account is in your company’s name and you keep all the data, even if we stop working together.
