Paid ads, explained

What does a paid ads agency do?

A paid ads agency builds, runs and improves your advertising on platforms like Google and Meta, so your budget goes to clicks that turn into calls and customers. That means choosing the right campaign types, writing the ads, building audiences, setting up conversion tracking, matching each ad to a landing page and adjusting every week based on real results.

Ads and SEO work best together. Ads can bring in leads within days, while SEO builds the leads you don’t pay for per click. Many of our clients run both, then lean less on ads as organic traffic grows.

What should a paid ads report show?

Leads and costs, not just clicks.

Cost per lead and per customer

Calls and forms from each campaign

Which platform?

Should a local business advertise on Google or Facebook?

It depends on how your customers buy. Google catches people already searching; Meta reaches people before they search. Most local businesses start with one, prove it works, then add the other.

Frequently asked questions about paid ads management

Our ads management is $600 a month for Google or Meta, or $950 a month for both, plus a one-time $400 setup that’s waived on SEO Growth and Acceleration plans. Your ad spend is paid directly to Google or Meta.

No. We charge a flat monthly fee, so our advice is never tied to getting you to spend more.

For local campaigns we usually recommend at least $1,500 a month in ad spend, so the campaigns get enough data to learn. Below that, the money often goes further on SEO and your Google Business Profile.

Once tracking is verified, campaigns can bring in leads within days. Expect a few weeks of testing before cost per lead settles.

Local Services Ads management is $350 a month plus a one-time $300 setup for verification and your profile. Google charges you per lead, paid directly to Google.

Local Services Ads are the ads with the Google Guaranteed or Google Screened badge at the very top of many local searches. Businesses pass a Google verification, and they pay per lead rather than per click. They work especially well for home services. Google explains how they work in its Local Services Ads help center.

Google is usually better when people search for what you sell when they need it, like plumbing or roofing. Facebook and Instagram are better for reaching people before they search, like salons, restaurants and events. Many businesses use both.

Retargeting, also called remarketing, shows ads to people who already visited your website or engaged with your business but didn’t call or buy yet. It’s often one of the lowest-cost ways to win back a lead.

Conversion tracking records when an ad click turns into a call, form or booking. Without it, ad platforms optimize for clicks instead of customers, and you can’t tell which ads are paying off. We set it up before spend starts.
