What Matters
Typical Google Marketing Agency
Who runs your account
Account leadership
✕
A junior coordinator juggling dozens of accounts with little real-world search expertise.
The people you talk to are the people doing the work. Direct senior search specialist execution with zero junior hand-offs.
Starting point
Strategy kickoff
✕
Launch campaigns immediately to burn budget, then figure out messaging after money is lost.
Positioning and messaging first. We ensure your value proposition converts before spending a single dollar on clicks.
Tracking
Attribution & data
✕
Basic tags that count raw clicks and spam form-fills as successful conversions.
Phone calls, qualified forms, and offline CRM pipeline directly tied to closed revenue, not vanity clicks.
Reporting
Account transparency
✕
Automated monthly PDFs of impressions and CTR with zero strategic takeaways.
Plain-English briefings tied to Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC), pipeline, and clear next steps.
Contract
Commitment term
✕
6–12 month lock-in contracts with painful early-termination fees.
Month to month. No minimum term, 30 days notice, and zero exit penalties.
Your ad budget
Billing & ownership
✕
Often billed through the agency, sometimes with an opaque percentage markup.
Paid directly to Google or Microsoft from your own account. 0% markup and you own the account forever.
