PPC agency specialising in Google Ads campaigns
We tailor campaign architecture to match your customer acquisition strategy. Depending on whether you run a local service trade, a B2B consultancy, or a nationwide online shop, we deploy specific ad types to meet your objectives.
Search Ads
Search Ads are text ads that appear at the top of Google results when someone types a relevant query.
- Best for: high-intent buyers who want a solution now.
- What we manage: keyword matching, negative keywords (terms that block irrelevant searches), responsive ad copy and landing page alignment.
- What we track: Quality Score, Google's rating of your ad and landing page relevance. Google's Quality Score guide explains it in detail.
display advertising
Display Ads are visual banners shown across the Google Display Network (GDN), a collection of millions of websites and apps.
- Best for: building awareness and winning back past visitors.
- What we manage: remarketing, which means showing ads to people who visited your website but left without buying.
- What you get: repeat exposure to people who already know your brand.
Shopping ads
Shopping Ads display your product image, price and store name directly in Google results.
- Best for: online shops and retailers with product catalogues.
- What we manage: your product feed (the data file that lists your products in Google Merchant Center), campaign structure and bidding.
- What we check: feed accuracy against Google's product data specification, which sets the rules your listings must follow.
- What we analyse: search terms and product performance, so budget moves toward your best sellers.
Performance Max (PMax)
Performance Max (PMax) is a goal-based Google Ads campaign type that serves ads across Search, Display, YouTube, Gmail, Discover and Maps from one set of assets.
- Best for: advertisers with reliable conversion tracking.
- How it works: automation finds converting customers, as Google's Performance Max guide describes.
- Our position: we launch PMax only after Search campaigns record clean conversion data, because PMax optimises toward whatever you count as a conversion. Bad data therefore produces bad results.
Local marketing
Local campaigns send nearby customers to your premises through location assets, Google Maps visibility and local inventory ads.
- Best for: shops, practices and other premises-based businesses.
- Local inventory ads: Local inventory ads show in-store stock to nearby shoppers, and Google lists South Africa among its supported countries.
- Local Services Ads: Google Local Services Ads charge per lead but run only in select countries, so we confirm eligibility before we recommend them.
Analytics
Conversion tracking records the actions that matter, such as calls, form submissions and purchases. Google explains the setup in its conversion tracking guide.
