How Impact Brains measures Google Ads: clicks become calls and forms, qualified leads, bookings or purchases and customers, and the customer outcome is imported back into Google Ads so bidding learns from it.

Campaigns we build and run

What does a Google Ads agency do?

A Google Ads agency plans, builds and manages your paid campaigns on Google Search, Shopping, YouTube and Maps. The best agencies also fix conversion tracking, build landing pages and report cost per customer, so Google’s bidding learns from real sales instead of cheap clicks.

A good agency does more than adjust bids. It decides which searches deserve your money, makes sure Google can see which clicks became customers, and sends those clicks to pages built to convert them.

That is why we treat Google Ads as one layer of a marketing system, not a standalone channel. The account, the tracking and the landing pages are built together and reviewed against revenue every month.

  1. Audit: find wasted spend, broken tracking and weak pages before adding budget.
  2. Structure: campaigns split by intent, margin and location.
  3. Signal: enhanced conversions, call tracking and offline imports from your CRM.
  4. Pages: landing pages that match each ad and load fast on mobile.
  5. Tuning: weekly search-term reviews and a monthly revenue review.

Most Google Ads accounts are optimized for the wrong thing.

When conversions aren’t tracked properly, Google’s Smart Bidding optimizes for whatever you count: page views, ten-second calls, spam forms. It gets very good at finding more of them.

We fix the signal first, then rebuild the structure, so the algorithm hunts for the customers you actually want. In Toronto, that took one window and gutter cleaning company from $72.82 to $37.07 per conversion in a month.

  • Conversions counted wrong

    Micro-actions and duplicate GA4 imports marked as primary conversions teach bidding the wrong lesson.

  • Search terms nobody reads

    Broad match without shared negatives spends quietly on job seekers, DIY searches and competitors.

  • Performance Max buying your brand

    Without brand exclusions, PMax takes credit for customers who were already searching for you.

What’s included in Google Ads management

Senior specialists build and run your account inside your own Google Ads login, on a flat monthly fee that is never a percentage of spend.

  • Search campaigns with negative-keyword discipline

    Intent-led campaigns, branded defense where it pays, and shared negative lists reviewed every week.

  • Performance Max and Shopping

    Feed rebuilds with custom labels, asset groups by margin tier, brand exclusions and honest tests against Standard Shopping.

  • Local Services Ads and Google Business Profile

    For service businesses: LSA setup and dispute handling, aligned with your Google Business Profile and call tracking.

  • Demand Gen and YouTube

    Video and visual campaigns for remarketing and demand creation, measured on branded search lift, not views.

  • Enhanced and offline conversions

    Enhanced conversions, qualified-call rules and booked or closed deals imported from your CRM with click IDs (see revenue attribution).

  • Server-side tracking

    A server-side container that keeps conversion data complete as browsers block more third-party tags.

  • Landing page CRO and speed

    Message-matched landing pages, shorter forms and click-to-call, with a mobile speed budget. Built by our own web team.

  • Weekly optimization and a monthly revenue review

    Search terms, bids and tests every week; cost per customer by campaign every month, with the budget moves we recommend.

Which Google Ads campaign type fits your goal?

Search is the foundation for almost every business because it captures people already looking. Performance Max and Shopping scale e-commerce once the feed and tracking are clean, Local Services Ads win calls for home services, and Demand Gen and YouTube create demand that search later converts.

Google Ads campaign types compared
Campaign typeBest forWatch out for
SearchHigh-intent searches such as “emergency plumber near me” or “deep plane facelift cost”Broad match without negatives; one ad group for every service
Performance MaxExtra volume for proven offers once conversion values and offline imports flowWeak signals and brand traffic; it optimizes toward whatever you count
Standard ShoppingControl over product bids and search terms for e-commerceFeed quality: titles, GTINs and custom labels decide performance
Local Services AdsPay-per-lead calls for home services, shown above search adsDisputing invalid leads and keeping reviews and licenses current
Demand GenVisual ads on YouTube, Discover and Gmail for considered purchasesJudging it on last-click conversions alone

We start where intent is highest, prove cost per customer, then add campaign types one at a time.

How much should you spend on Google Ads?

Work backward from customers, not from a number someone picked. Change the inputs to match your business: close rates, conversion rates and click costs vary widely by industry and city.

The formula

Monthly budget = customers wanted ÷ close rate ÷ landing-page conversion rate × average cost per click.

Example: 20 new customers a month, a 30% close rate, an 8% landing-page conversion rate and a $6 average click need about 67 leads and 833 clicks: roughly $5,000 a month, or $250 per customer.

Why businesses hire Impact Brains as their Google Ads agency

Most PPC agencies report clicks and cost per lead. We report cost per customer, because the same team runs your tracking, your landing pages and your follow-up.

  • Senior operators, every week

    The people who design your system are the people who run it. No hand-off to junior coordinators.

  • Tracking before scale

    We won’t scale a broken signal. Enhanced conversions, offline imports and server-side tagging come first.

  • Honest incrementality

    We test Performance Max against Search, Shopping and Demand Gen, and tell you when a channel isn’t pulling its weight.

  • Flat fee, no lock-in

    A flat monthly retainer, never a percentage of ad spend. A 90-day initial term, then month to month.

Google Ads for businesses where every lead has a dollar value

The audit, the structure and the tracking stay the same. Keywords, policies, offers and landing pages change by industry.

  • Healthcare & aesthetics

    Compliant campaigns, trust-first pages and tracking that follows a click to a booked consultation without exposing patient data.

Google Ads questions, answered

How much does Google Ads management cost?

We charge a flat monthly retainer based on account complexity and scope, never a percentage of ad spend. Most accounts start with the free 40-point audit, so the quote reflects the actual work required. After a 90-day initial term, engagements run month to month.

What is included in your free Google Ads audit?

Forty checks across account structure, search-term waste, Performance Max and Shopping, conversion tracking, bidding and budgets, and ads and landing pages. You get a written report, a recorded walkthrough and three revenue levers ranked by impact.

How fast will I see results from Google Ads?

Search campaigns usually produce qualified leads within two to four weeks of a clean relaunch. Smart Bidding needs roughly 30 to 50 conversions a month per campaign to stabilize, so we fix tracking first to shorten the learning period.

Do you manage Performance Max?

Yes. We segment asset groups by margin and audience signals, rebuild product feeds with custom labels, exclude brand traffic where it inflates results, and test PMax against Standard Shopping and Demand Gen before scaling budget.

Do I keep ownership of my Google Ads account?

Always. You own the account, the data, the conversion actions and the creative. We work inside your account with manager access, so a handover is clean whenever you want it.

Should I hire a Google Ads agency or a freelance consultant?

A consultant can tune an account. An agency like ours also rebuilds the tracking, the landing pages and the follow-up that decide whether clicks become customers. If those layers already work, a consultant may be enough.

Do you run Local Services Ads for home service businesses?

Yes. We set up and manage Local Services Ads alongside Search and your Google Business Profile, dispute invalid leads and track calls through to booked jobs.

Can you run Google Ads for healthcare practices?

Yes, within Google’s Healthcare and medicines policy. Our healthcare work has its own page covering policy review, certification and tracking that never sends patient data to Google.
