What this service does

What does Google Ads management include?

Google Ads lets you show ads to people as they search. You pay when someone clicks. Managing an account means choosing which searches to appear for, what the ads say, and how much to bid.

Accounts drift without regular attention. Google's automatic settings can widen your targeting and spend more than you planned. We watch the searches you actually paid for and keep the account tied to your goals.

You own the ad account and can see everything in it. Reports show spend, clicks, and tracked calls, forms, or sales. We bill our management fee separately from what you pay Google.

What we do

Here's what the work involves.

If you have an account, we review it before changing anything. If you don't, we build one in your name.

We agree on what counts as a useful result, such as a booked call or a sale. Then we check that tracking records it correctly.

  1. Set up campaigns and tracking

    We organize campaigns by service or product so budgets and results are easy to read. We choose keywords, locations, and schedules that match who you can serve. We set up conversion tracking to count calls, forms, and sales.

    We pick campaign types to suit the goal. Search campaigns reach people looking for something now. Shopping, Performance Max, and Local Services Ads suit some businesses, and we explain the trade-offs before using them.

    This can include account structure, conversion tracking, and campaign type recommendations.

  2. Write ads and control the searches

    We write ads that match what the person searched for and what the landing page offers. We add extras such as phone numbers and links to key pages. We test different messages over time.

    We regularly review the search terms that triggered your ads. Unrelated ones go on a negative keyword list, so you stop paying for them. This one habit often saves more than any bidding trick.

    This can include ad copy and assets, search term reviews, and negative keyword lists.

  3. Manage bids and report on results

    We choose a bidding approach that fits your data and goals. Automated bidding needs accurate tracking to work well, so we fix that first. We move budget toward the campaigns that bring useful results.

    Reports show the cost per lead or sale for each campaign. With your team's feedback, we separate good leads from poor ones. If the landing page is losing people, we say so and suggest changes.

    This can include bid and budget management, cost per lead reporting, and landing page suggestions.

What this can look like

A locksmith paying for the wrong clicks

Illustrative account review, not an Ardoz client result. A locksmith spends on ads, but most calls are for services he doesn't offer.

  • Read the search terms

    The report shows clicks from people looking for car key programming, which he doesn't do.

  • Block and refocus

    Those terms become negative keywords. The campaign narrows to lockouts and lock changes in his service area.

  • Count the right calls

    Call tracking records calls over a set length. He marks which ones became jobs.

The budget stays the same, but more of it reaches people he can help.

When to consider it

Is it right for your business?

Google Ads management fits when people search for what you sell and you can respond to inquiries quickly. If your website can't take inquiries well, fix that before paying for clicks.

Questions before starting

Questions about Google Ads Management.

How much should I spend on Google Ads?

It depends on what clicks cost in your market and what a customer is worth. We look at both and suggest a starting budget. You can begin with one service and expand.

Do I own the ad account?

Yes. The account is in your name, with your payment details. If we stop working together, you keep it and its history.

Do you use Performance Max?

When it suits the goal and the tracking is solid. It gives less control and detail than standard search campaigns. We explain the trade-offs first.

How soon will I see results?

Ads can start showing the day a campaign is approved. It takes longer to gather enough data to judge and improve it. We don't promise a number of leads.
