Google Ads agency & PPC management

Google Ads agency for PPC management that pays for itself

We build, run and improve your Google Ads campaigns so you reach people at the moment they search for what you sell, and we make sure every lead and sale is tracked.

In short: A Google Ads agency plans, builds and continuously improves your pay-per-click (PPC) campaigns on Google Search, Shopping, YouTube and Performance Max. Web Zodiac's Google Ads management services cover keywords, ads, bids, budgets, landing pages and conversion tracking, with a monthly report on the leads, sales and cost each campaign brings.
How it works

How we manage Google Ads

Three stages, repeated every month.

1

Audit

We review your account, tracking and landing pages, and agree the goals and numbers that matter.

2

Build and test

We fix tracking, restructure campaigns and launch new ads and pages to test.

3

Scale and report

Budget moves to what works. You get a clear monthly report and a plan for the next month.

What is Google Ads management?

Google Ads management, also called PPC management, is the ongoing work of planning, running and improving pay-per-click campaigns so they bring leads and sales at a cost you can afford. It is not a one-time setup. Search behaviour, competitors and Google's automation change every week, and an account left alone slowly wastes more money.

Our PPC campaign management covers:

  • Keyword research and structure: the searches worth paying for, grouped so each ad matches what people typed.
  • Ads and assets: headlines, descriptions, sitelinks and images, tested against each other.
  • Bidding and budgets: Smart Bidding goals set from your real cost per lead or return on ad spend, and budget moved to what works.
  • Search terms and negatives: blocking irrelevant searches that eat budget.
  • Conversion tracking: GA4, enhanced conversions and offline conversion import, so Google optimises for real customers, not just form fills.
  • Landing pages: pages that turn clicks into enquiries and sales.
  • Reporting: a monthly report on leads, sales, cost and what we will change next.

What does a PPC agency do every month?

A good PPC management company spends most of its time on improvement, not setup. In a normal month we review search terms and add negatives, test new ads, adjust bids and budgets, check that conversions are recording correctly, look at landing page results, and report back. Bigger changes, such as a new campaign type or a restructure, are agreed with you first.

How does Google Ads work?

Google Ads is an auction that runs every time someone searches. Advertisers choose keywords and set a bid or a goal. Google then ranks the ads using the bid, the ad's expected quality and relevance, and the landing page experience. You pay only when someone clicks, which is why it is called pay-per-click. A more relevant ad and a better page can win a higher position for a lower cost per click.

Beyond Search, the same account runs Shopping, YouTube, Display and Performance Max campaigns, which use Google's AI to place ads across all of these. Smaller advertisers can start with our Google Ads for small business service.

How much does Google Ads cost?

There are two costs: the ad spend you pay Google, and the management fee you pay an agency.

Ad spend. There is no fixed price for Google Ads. Each click costs what the auction decides, which depends on your industry, location, competition and ad quality. Clicks can cost well under a dollar in some markets and tens of dollars in competitive ones such as legal or insurance. You set the daily budget, and Google will not go over your monthly limit.

Management fee. Google Ads agency pricing usually follows one of three models:

Pricing modelHow it worksWatch out for
Percentage of ad spendThe fee is a share of what you spend on adsThe fee rises with spend, even when results do not
Flat monthly feeA fixed fee for an agreed scope of workMake sure the scope includes tracking and testing
HybridA base fee plus a smaller percentage or performance elementAgree clearly how performance is measured

The right starting budget depends on what a customer is worth to you. In the free audit we look at search volumes and cost per click in your market and suggest a budget that can produce enough conversions to learn from.

Are Google Ads worth it?

Google Ads is worth it when people already search for what you sell and a customer is worth more than it costs to win one. It works especially well for services people look for when they need them, such as healthcare, legal and home services, and for online stores with products people search for by name.

It is harder when almost nobody searches for your product yet, when margins are very thin, or when the website cannot turn visitors into enquiries. In those cases we will say so, and may suggest Meta ads to create demand or landing page work first.

How to choose a Google Ads agency

Ask these questions before you hire a PPC management agency:

  • Who owns the account? It should be you. Avoid agencies that keep accounts in their own name.
  • How will you track conversions? If the answer is vague, the bidding will be too.
  • What will I see each month? Leads, sales, cost per result and the changes made, not just clicks and impressions.
  • Who will work on my account? Know whether it is a specialist or a junior with dozens of clients.
  • What results have you got for businesses like mine? Look for real numbers, like our case studies.
  • What is the notice period? Long lock-in contracts are a warning sign.

What to expect in the first 90 days

  • Weeks 1 to 2: audit, conversion tracking fixed, and a plan agreed.
  • Weeks 2 to 6: campaigns launched or restructured. Smart Bidding goes through a learning period, so results can move around.
  • Months 2 to 3: wasted spend cut, winning ads and keywords scaled, and the cost per lead or return on ad spend becomes steadier.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

What is PPC management?

PPC management is the ongoing work of running pay-per-click ads, such as Google Ads, so they bring leads and sales profitably. It covers keywords, ads, bids, budgets, negative keywords, landing pages, conversion tracking and reporting.

What does a Google Ads agency do?

A Google Ads agency plans, builds and improves your campaigns: keyword research, ad copy, bidding, budgets, landing pages and conversion tracking, with regular reports on leads, sales and cost.

How much does Google Ads management cost?

Agencies usually charge a percentage of ad spend, a flat monthly fee, or a mix of both, on top of the ad spend you pay Google. After the free audit we send a written quote, so you know the fee before you commit.

How much should I spend on Google Ads?

It depends on how competitive your keywords are and what a customer is worth to you. In the free audit we look at search volumes and cost per click in your market and suggest a starting budget.

Are Google Ads worth it for small businesses?

Often, yes, when people search for what you offer and you track leads properly. A small, focused account on the right keywords usually beats a large, unfocused one. See our Google Ads for small business service.

How long does Google Ads take to work?

Search campaigns can bring clicks on the first day, but bidding needs conversion data to optimise. Expect a learning period of a few weeks, and judge performance after two to three months.

Do you work with existing accounts?

Yes. We usually start with an audit of your current account, keep what works and fix what does not, so you do not lose its history.

Who owns the Google Ads account?

You do. We work inside your account with access you grant, so all data and history stay with your business.
