Our Approach to Google Search Ads
Google Ads can be a game-changer for businesses looking to drive leads, boost sales, and increase brand visibility. But there’s a common misconception: simply throwing money into Google Ads doesn't guarantee results.
The truth? Google Ads is only as effective as the data it’s fed. If your campaign isn’t built on strong business insights, clear goals, and a well-optimized website, you’ll struggle to see meaningful returns.
We’ve refined our Google Ads strategy to ensure our clients get the best possible results. In this post, we’ll share:
✅ Why your Google Ads campaign is only as strong as your data
✅ How your website plays a key role in ad performance
✅ The key questions we ask in consultations to set you up for success
If you’re considering Google Ads, read on—this will prepare you for a productive conversation with our team!
1. Your Google Ads Campaign Is Only as Good as the Data You Provide
Google’s machine learning is powerful, but it can’t work miracles. Your campaign’s success depends on the quality of the data it receives. Here’s what that means:
🔹 Clear goals → What do you want to achieve? (Leads, sales, calls, brand awareness?)
🔹 Target audience insights → Who are your ideal customers, and what motivates them?
🔹 Conversion tracking → What actions matter most, and what are they worth to your business?
Without these elements in place, Google Ads becomes a guessing game—and that’s an expensive way to market your business.
Key takeaway: Before launching a campaign, define clear objectives, audience segments, and conversion values to maximize your ad performance.
2. A Strong Website Supports a Strong Google Ads Campaign
Even the best Google Ads campaign will struggle if your website isn’t optimized for conversions. If visitors click your ad but find a slow, confusing, or outdated site, they won’t stick around—let alone take action.
💡 Common website issues that hurt Google Ads performance:
🚨 Slow page load times (Google penalizes slow sites in ad rankings)
🚨 Poor mobile experience (More than 50% of traffic comes from mobile users)
🚨 Unclear call-to-action (Users don’t know what to do next)
We recommend that clients pair Google Ads with website maintenance to ensure landing pages are optimized for success.
Key takeaway: Your website is an extension of your Google Ads campaign. If it’s not optimized for user experience and conversions, you’re leaving money on the table.
3. The Right Questions Lead to Better Google Ads Performance
During our Google Ads consultations, we ask targeted questions to ensure your campaign is built for success. Here’s a look at some of the key areas we explore:
Business Goals & Objectives
✅ What are your overall business goals? (Increase revenue, generate leads, grow brand awareness?)
✅ What are your specific marketing objectives for Google Ads? (Drive website conversions, get more phone calls?)
👉 Why this matters: These questions help us determine if Google Ads is the right fit for your business and how we should tailor your campaign.
Value Proposition & Messaging
✅ What is your unique selling proposition (USP)? (Why should customers choose you over competitors?)
✅ What are the key benefits of your products/services?
✅ What do your best customers say about your business?
👉 Why this matters: Understanding your brand strengths allows us to craft compelling ad copy and targeting strategies that attract high-quality leads.
Conversion Tracking & Value
✅ What is the value of each conversion type? (Lead form submission = $50? Product purchase = $100?)
✅ Are all conversions equally valuable, or do some customer segments generate more revenue?
👉 Why this matters: Assigning real dollar values to conversions helps us optimize your campaign for the highest return on investment.
Customer Match Lists & First-Party Data
✅ Can you provide us with customer data (email lists, past buyers, etc.)?
👉 Why this matters: The more historical data we can feed into Google Ads, the smarter and more effective the campaign becomes. Businesses that leverage first-party data see significantly higher conversion rates.
