A clear role for Search
Capture existing demand in your market.
Search campaigns show text ads when people search on Google. They can be a useful starting point for service businesses with a defined offer, a workable service area and the capacity to respond to enquiries. Search Ads are not the same product as Local Services Ads, and they are not a substitute for an ecommerce Shopping strategy.
Match the service, not just the keyword
Someone searching for an emergency repair needs a different offer from someone planning a full renovation. We separate those intentions, write relevant ads and send each visitor to a page that answers the actual question.
Work within your real service area
Location settings, exclusions and ad schedules should reflect where your team can work and when enquiries can be answered. We review search terms for unwanted intent such as job seekers, DIY research or services you do not offer.
Write an offer people can act on
Responsive search ads combine a clear service, local relevance and a specific next step. We use genuine proof and differentiators where available. New ad variants test useful differences in the offer and message, not repeated claims about being the best.
Optimise towards qualified enquiries
Calls and form submissions are starting signals. Where your systems provide lead qualification or sales data, those outcomes help us judge search terms, locations and budget allocation. Without them, we explain the limits instead of presenting clicks as business results.
Choose the engagement
One campaign type. Three ways to work together.
The written scope defines the build, implementation, handover or ongoing work. Landing-page development, CRM integration and additional tracking implementation are agreed separately.
One-time Search setup or optimisation starts at $390 / €340 / CHF 320 for one campaign. The optimisation includes the necessary account diagnosis; website tracking implementation is an optional addition. View project prices ↗

Clear scope. No surprises.
Who owns the account?+
You do. You retain ownership of your Google Ads account, campaign history and data. We work through invited access, not shared passwords. Specialist management does not mean transferring ownership.
What determines the fee?+
The quote depends on the account’s complexity, services and locations advertised, campaign volume, tracking requirements and level of ongoing support. Google’s advertising spend is separate from our fee. Scope, delivery dates, renewal and cancellation terms are agreed in writing before work begins.
Is tracking implementation included?+
A tracking review and a tracking implementation are different tasks. We establish what already works and agree which calls, forms, qualified leads or sales should be measured. Implementation depends on access to Google Ads, GA4, Google Tag Manager and your website or CRM. Developer work, consent changes and offline integrations need an explicit scope.
When can we judge performance?+
We agree a delivery date once scope and access are clear. Launching a campaign is different from collecting enough evidence to assess it. Early signals may appear in weeks; a reliable assessment can take months, depending on budget, search demand, conversion volume and the time it takes customers to decide. There is no guaranteed learning period or result.
What happens to landing pages and product feeds?+
We identify issues that affect the campaign and separate recommendations from implementation. Website development, landing-page builds and feed repairs are not automatically included. For ecommerce, we need an existing Merchant Center account and usable product data; any additional work is agreed first.
Who is this a good fit for?+
Local service businesses that want enquiries from their real service area, with someone available to handle them. We work internationally in English and German, including Swiss Standard German. Ecommerce has its own Shopping and Performance Max service. We assess budget fit against your market and goals rather than publishing an arbitrary minimum.
Bring your website, service area and main goal to a free 30 minute Google Ads consultation. We will discuss the fit and agree the next step. A consultation is not a full account audit. Choose a time ↗
