Paid search & Performance Max
Google Ads, Microsoft Ads, Performance Max, Shopping — built for ROAS, not CPC.
A paid search agency engineering Google Ads and Performance Max around conversion-tracking discipline, smart bidding calibration, and asset-pack quality — measured by ROAS and pipeline, not impressions.
Why this work matters
Most paid search accounts run on auto-pilot with broken conversion tracking, leaky negative-keyword lists, and Performance Max campaigns cannibalizing brand search. The result: spend grows, ROAS plateaus, and the CFO loses faith. We rebuild the foundation, then scale.
The work, in detail.
- Google Ads + Microsoft Ads (Search + Shopping + PMax)
- Conversion tracking + GA4 + offline conversion uploads
- Smart bidding + portfolio strategies (target CPA / ROAS / Max Conversions)
- Asset-group structure + audience signals for PMax
- Negative-keyword discipline + search-term hygiene
- Quality Score + ad-relevance auditing
- Weekly experiments (DSA, RSA, ad copy, landing-page CRO)
- →Conversion tracking audit + fix plan
- →Account restructure (ad groups, asset groups, negatives)
- →Smart bidding strategy + budget allocation
- →Weekly experiment cadence + reports
- →Monthly attribution + LTV reconciliation
Paid search engineered around conversion-tracking discipline, smart bidding tuning, asset-pack quality, and Performance Max segmentation. Senior account leads, transparent reporting, and weekly experiments that compound.
The approach.
Conversion-tracking audit
GA4 + Google Ads + Microsoft Ads + offline conversions audited end-to-end. Most accounts have at least one tracking bug worth a 20%+ ROAS lift just from fixing.
Account restructure
Tight ad groups by intent, asset groups by funnel stage, negative lists tuned weekly. Brand vs non-brand separated with proper attribution.
Bidding + budget calibration
Smart bidding strategies set against real LTV, not last-click revenue. Budget redistributed weekly toward winning segments.
Paid search & Performance Max — common questions
Do you take over an existing account or start fresh?
We almost always take over existing accounts. About 80% of the time, fixing tracking and restructuring delivers more ROAS lift than starting from scratch.
How do you handle Performance Max?
Asset groups segmented by audience signals + brand exclusion lists + offline conversion feeds. Without those three, PMax cannibalizes existing brand search and inflates ROAS artificially.
What's the engagement model?
Either retainer ($6,500/mo for accounts under $50K monthly spend) or % of spend (8–12%) for accounts above $100K/mo. Honest billing, no hidden margin on media.
