FAQs – About Search Engine Advertising

01 What does your onboarding process look like for a new account?
If you have an existing Google or Bing Ads account, we can get started almost immediately on managing it, then ramp up optimizations over the first month. Alongside that we run discovery and research, verify your conversion tracking is measuring the right things, and assign a dedicated strategist as your point of contact throughout.
02 How do you measure success on SEM channels?
Leads and sales, not clicks. For eCommerce that means purchases, revenue and ROAS; for lead gen it means qualified leads and cost per acquisition — with the emphasis on qualified, since a cheap lead that never closes is not a win. Where your CRM supports it, we integrate lead quality and closed-won data back into the ad platforms and import offline conversions, so bidding optimizes toward the leads that actually become customers rather than whichever form fills are easiest to generate.
03 Do you help with creative needs for PPC channels too?
Yes! We have an in-house creative team that can support with creation of any display and video assets needed for your PPC campaigns, alongside ad copy and shopping feed optimization.
04 Is there a cost to auditing our current search engine advertising efforts?
Typically no. If we are going to be managing your ad account, we are happy to provide an audit in advance to make sure we can have an impact. The only time payment may be involved is if we are doing a one-time consultation project for a client who still plans to manage their advertising in-house.
05 How often will we receive reporting on search advertising success?
You’ll have access to a custom Looker Studio report that gives you live, 24/7 insight into how your campaigns are performing. In addition to that, we set up a regular meeting cadence — typically once a month, and more frequent with higher-spend accounts. We can also share routine reporting via email.
06 What does the process look like to get started?
We begin with a proposal. From there (once signed), we would schedule a Discovery Meeting to get things started, and typically have campaigns live within 3 weeks.
