Why PPC has changed

Google made ads easier to spend on, and harder to profit from

Google now pushes every advertiser towards broad match, Performance Max and auto-applied recommendations. Those tools can work very well. But they optimise towards whatever you tell them is a conversion, and they spend fast.

Feed them a page view, a duplicate form fill or a junk lead, and they will find more of the same at scale. That's how most accounts end up with rising spend, healthy-looking dashboards and flat revenue.

So the real work of PPC management has moved. It's less about nudging bids by hand. It's about clean conversion data, campaign structures that show where money goes, weekly search term reviews, and ads and landing pages that turn clicks into customers.

That's how we run paid search marketing for our own brands, and how our PPC management services work for yours.

Track real revenue

Enhanced conversions, offline imports from your CRM and GA4 set up properly, so bidding chases sales, not clicks.

Control the spend

Negative keyword lists, brand exclusions and weekly search term reviews that stop budget leaking to the wrong people.

Convert the click

Ad copy tests and landing pages that match the search. Pairs with our CRO services.

What's included

Who we work with

PPC for businesses that measure every dollar

As a PPC agency, we do our best work where ad spend has to pay back in sales, leads or sign-ups, and where someone checks the numbers.

eCommerce and Shopify brands

Shopping, Performance Max and remarketing built around margin and ROAS, not just revenue.

Lead generation and local services

Search campaigns, call tracking and lead quality fed back from your CRM, so you pay for customers rather than form fills.

SaaS and B2B companies

Google, Microsoft and LinkedIn ads tied to pipeline and revenue through offline conversion imports.

Affiliates, apps and tricky verticals

Performance campaigns in categories with strict ad policies, such as crypto and finance, where certification and careful copy matter.

How we work

From audit to a profitable account

Tracking first, structure second, scale third. Most accounts are rebuilt and fully tracked within four weeks.

Week 1

Audit and fix tracking

We audit the account and fix conversion tracking before touching bids, because every decision after this depends on it.

  • Google Ads audit
  • Tracking fixed
Week 2

Strategy and structure

Targets for CPA or ROAS, budget split, campaign structure and keyword plan, agreed with you before launch.

  • Agreed targets
  • Account plan
Week 3

Build or rebuild

Campaigns, ads, negatives and audiences built or cleaned up, keeping your account history where it helps.

  • Campaigns live
  • Negative lists
Week 4

Optimise

Search terms, bids, ads and landing pages reviewed as real data comes in. Losers get cut quickly.

  • Weekly reviews
  • Ad tests
Every month

Scale and report

Budget moves to what's profitable in measured steps, and you get a plain-English report and a planning call.

  • ROI report
  • Strategy call
Proof, not promises

We buy traffic with our own money first

AFFiNCO started as a performance marketing business, and it still is. We've spent years buying traffic for our own websites, offers and launches on Google, Meta, TikTok, Reddit and other networks. When a campaign loses money there, it's our money.

That changes how you manage an account. You stop admiring click-through rates and start asking what each click earned. We also work directly with ad platforms through partner programmes, including an exclusive Reddit Ads offer for new advertisers.

Our own budget on the line

Ad platform partner offers

RULE 01

Fix tracking before bids

Smart bidding is only as smart as the conversions you feed it. Clean data first, then scale.

RULE 02

Read search terms every week

Broad match and Performance Max drift. Weekly reviews keep spend on buyers, not browsers.

RULE 03

Brand traffic isn't growth

We report brand and non-brand separately, so results aren't flattered by people who'd have found you anyway.

RULE 04

Cut fast, scale in steps

Losing ads and keywords go within days. Winners get more budget in measured steps, so bidding doesn't reset.

FAQ

Google Ads and PPC questions, answered straight

Something else on your mind? Ask us directly on a free call.

A Google Ads agency plans, builds and manages your pay-per-click campaigns. That covers keyword research, campaign structure, ad copy, bidding, budgets, conversion tracking, landing page advice and reporting. A good one judges everything on profit and cost per acquisition. Unlike a single freelance Google Ads consultant, you get a team covering tracking, ads and landing pages, and we also run Shopping, Performance Max, YouTube and Microsoft Ads.

Agencies usually charge 12% to 30% of ad spend, with 15% to 20% the most common, or a flat retainer of around $2,500 to $15,000+ a month, according to KlientBoost's Google Ads pricing guide. Ad spend is paid separately to Google or Microsoft. For our PPC management services, we give you a fixed monthly fee and a written scope after your free Google Ads audit.

Work backwards from your numbers. Take the leads or sales you want each month, divide by your expected conversion rate to get the clicks you need, then multiply by the average cost per click in your market. Smart bidding also needs a steady flow of conversions to learn, so very small budgets spread across many campaigns rarely work. Your audit includes a budget estimate.

Ads can bring traffic the day they go live. The first two to four weeks are a learning period while bidding adjusts and search terms are cleaned up. Most accounts reach stable, reliable performance within two to three months, and scale from there.

Both are search engine marketing, but they do different jobs. PPC is fast and controllable: you can be at the top of Google today and turn it off tomorrow. SEO takes months but keeps bringing traffic without paying per click. Most of our clients use both, with paid search data showing which keywords are worth targeting in our SEO services.

Yes. The account, billing, data and conversion history stay in your name. We work through manager access that you can remove at any time. If we part ways, everything we built stays in your account.

Yes, with guardrails. We split asset groups by theme, add brand exclusions so PMax doesn't take credit for people already searching for you, review search term insights and placements, and keep Shopping feeds clean. PMax runs alongside Search, not instead of it.

Yes. Microsoft Advertising often reaches an older, more B2B audience, and many auctions are less crowded than on Google. We import your Google campaigns, clean them up for Microsoft's audience, and manage bids and budgets separately.

We set up GA4 and Google Tag Manager properly, add enhanced conversions, track calls where they matter, and import offline conversions from your CRM so bidding learns which leads became customers. Reports show CPA, ROAS and profit, with brand and non-brand results separated.

Yes, and it's one of the most common ways clients come to us. We start with a full PPC audit, fix tracking first, then restructure in stages so you keep useful history and learning instead of starting from zero.

No, and be wary of any PPC agency that does before seeing your account. Nobody controls Google's auction or your competitors. What we commit to is the work: clean tracking, weekly optimisation, honest reporting and clear targets agreed before launch.

No. There is no long-term lock-in. Paid search shows results quickly, so you'll know within a few months whether it's working. You stay because the numbers are good, not because a contract says you have to.
