As a Google Ads agency, we manage ad spend, track ad campaign performance, identify keywords, and make sure your Google Ads perform well in the search results. We also send a detailed report every month so you can see what your advertising budget is doing for you.

When we create your account (or take over your existing account), we will set you up as a billing administrator.

We invoice you separately for our search engine marketing services. Transparency is a big part of who we are.
If you already run Google Ads in-house, then you likely pay Google directly for your advertising costs and make account choices yourself. For businesses who have dedicated staff or an owner who has spent the time studying Google Ads management, this may work well. For most businesses, outsourcing their paid digital marketing to Google Ads agencies is worth looking into.
Because we’re also web designers and developers, we can easily install conversion tracking to help you determine if your keyword strategy and audience targeting is leading to actions you’d consider valuable. These might include lead form submissions, online sales, newsletter signups, or clicks on a phone link. In the industry, we call these actions “conversions” and they’re a very valuable metric when gauging how well your ads work.
Part of our team’s job is to continuously monitor for keywords that will directly impact your account performance. Google Ads management is more than just account creation – it’s about finding relevant keywords that have commercial intent – meaning searches people make that are likely very well suited to the goals of your business or organization. Similarly, negative keywords can help keep your cost-per-lead or cost-per-sale lower by making sure that your Google Ads are showing when we want them to. This facet of Google Ads management should not be overlooked – ongoing keyword research into the most relevant keywords can impact your actual revenue.
Quality score is a measure of a few things:
Ultimately, Google Ads agencies have one job: to improve your digital marketing with effective Google Ads management and monitoring of your account performance and advertising budget.
Red Ear Media offers complementary services such as custom website design that is effective at converting PPC traffic. We also offer SEO services, as both SEO and SEM can make a potent digital marketing combination.
With Red Ear Media’s managed digital ad campaigns, our team will request access to your Google Ads account and monitor, administer, and update your Google Ads campaigns in an ongoing manner.
Well-managed and optimized Google Ads campaigns can be an effective lead generator for many types of businesses. Inquire today to see if your business can benefit from Red Ear’s digital advertising experience.
Using the Google Ads keyword planner as well as other industry tools, we’re able to identify keywords for two purposes: finding relevant keywords and, equally importantly, using negative keywords. Negative keywords are phrases which may seem related to your business, but which we don’t want your ad to show for. If you’re selling sprockets, we don’t want your ad to show up for someone looking for “sprocket making jobs” – that is, unless you’re also hiring!
The ad auction works by comparing a user’s search with the keywords that are in your ad group and text ads. Google’s goal is to send you relevant traffic and also to ensure that the user on the other end is finding value with their search terms. Google determines whether your bid price for an ad, combined with the quality score of your keywords and ad copy, meets or exceeds that of any other competitors during the ad auction. This all occurs in a fraction of a second.
Text based ads are then ranked and served in descending order on the search results page. If a user finds your ad engaging and they click it, that’s when you are charged.
Google Partners are third-party agencies and marketers, like ourselves, who have gone through the Google Partner application and studies process. This badge is awarded to companies who maintain a high standard of optimization within existing client accounts, who manage a minimum monthly spend across all client accounts, and who are proficient in 1 or more Google Ads networks.
The threshold for optimization score is 70%. At Red Ear Media, our optimization score across all accounts is often in the high 90s!
Monthly spend is the cumulative budget of all clients in our manager account. We have clients with modest budgets and clients with large budgets. Many principles remain the same; the competition in your industry and the size of your service area play a big role in determining budget.
Google Ads is comprised largely of the following four networks:
This is the network everyone pictures when they think of Google Ads. It’s search engine marketing at its oldest – paid search marketing at the top of Google’s search engine results pages. Type a keyword into Google, and you’ll likely see at least one Google Ad above the organic search results. These PPC campaigns are what we mean we refer to the Google Search network.
Google Display ad campaigns are designed to serve visually-oriented ads (banner ads, basic animations, etc.) across Google’s vast network of websites, apps, and other Google-owned services such as YouTube and Gmail.
Within Google Display, we can work to try and place your ads on websites whose topics are well aligned with you and your target audience. In some cases, we can even specify exact websites on which we’d like your Google Ad to be shown.
Search Engine Marketing now includes YouTube video ads. Did you know that YouTube is the second largest search engine next to Google search? Our Google Ads management services also include the ability to run a Google Ads campaign on YouTube as pre-roll videos, in-stream videos, or sponsored video search results.
Leverage your existing video creative with a video-based search engine marketing campaign.
If you run an ecommerce site, you may want to look into a Google Shopping campaign. Search engine marketing within Google Ads now offers the ability to automatically include a feed of relevant products and pricing depending on the user’s search query.
Remarketing (also known as retargeting) allows us to track visitors from your website who have not yet become leads or made purchases. From there, we can use the Google Display network to show ads to those individuals encouraging them to come back. Statistics have shown that remarketing ads on the Display network perform better than the average Google Display ad.
