Google Ads Setup That Doesn't Need to Be Redone in 3 Months
The biggest waste in PPC isn't bad ad copy or bad bids — it's a bad account structure that everyone inherits and nobody wants to rebuild. We build Google Ads accounts the right way the first time: tight campaign structure, proper conversion tracking, audience layering, negative keyword frameworks, and conversion-optimized landing page connection. So when you (or your next agency) takes over, you're optimizing — not unwinding.
Campaign Structure Build
Campaigns segmented by funnel stage, match type, and intent — not by random keyword groupings. Tight ad groups (≤15 keywords), themed by buyer intent, with dedicated ad copy per theme.
Conversion Tracking Setup
GA4, Google Tag Manager, enhanced conversions, server-side tagging, offline conversion uploads. Every lead and sale tracked back to the click — because optimization without tracking is guessing.
Keyword Research & Negatives
Primary + secondary keyword lists with intent scoring, plus pre-built negative keyword lists for irrelevant variations (free, jobs, DIY, etc.). The negatives are what protect spend from day 1.
Audiences & Remarketing
Customer match upload, similar audiences, in-market audiences, GA4 remarketing audiences, RLSA layering. The audience structure that lets you bid smarter — not just on keywords, but on who's searching them.
Ad Copy & Asset Setup
Full RSA sets per ad group with pinning recommendations, plus sitelinks, callouts, snippets, image extensions, and lead-form extensions. Asset rating reviewed before launch — not after.
First-30-Day Plan
Written 30-day optimization plan — what to monitor in weeks 1, 2, 3, 4 and when to make first bid/keyword/copy adjustments. So whoever runs the account knows exactly what "good" looks like.
