Google Ads · PPC management

Google Ads run by an account Google itself rated top 10% worldwide

Anyone can launch a campaign. Managing one means conversion tracking wired through the API, Smart Bidding optimizing toward revenue instead of button clicks, and spend reported against tracked revenue. That is the whole practice, and it is what your budget gets here.

The short answer

EVM manages Google Ads accounts for local service businesses and national accounts alike: conversion tracking wired through the API, Smart Bidding trained on revenue, and spend reported against tracked results. Management costs $1,500/month plus 10% of ad spend, with the media budget paid straight to Google. Google's elite team rated our campaign work top 10% worldwide.

What professional Google Ads management includes

Conversion tracking through the API, so Smart Bidding learns from revenue events, not from whoever clicked a button.
Search term hygiene, so you stop paying for traffic that can never buy.
Ad copy tested against conversion data, not opinions.
Landing pages built for the query, because the click is only half the transaction.
Attribution end to end, first click to closed deal, reported in dollars.

The record behind the management fee

Two platform-level endorsements exist for EVM paid media work and both are on the homepage: Google's elite account team rated our campaign work top 10% of campaigns worldwide, and LinkedIn corporate has published case studies about campaigns we ran. Across platforms the numbers are $17.5M+ managed, 8.2B+ impressions and 1.4M+ conversions captured over 23 years.

Pricing that scales both directions

Management is $1,500/month plus 10% of ad spend. The media budget is yours, paid straight to Google; we never mark up spend invisibly. Local service businesses with $1,000 to $2,000/month of media spend and national accounts both get the same operator, which means your account never has to graduate to a new vendor. Iowa businesses: there is a dedicated Iowa Google Ads page covering the local angle.

Google Ads is one channel of the paid ads practice, next to Meta and LinkedIn. Clicks close better when the site and the follow-up system exist too.

Questions

Google Ads management questions

Can you fix an account another agency built?

Usually, and the audit is part of the free consultation. The most common find is conversion tracking counting the wrong events and Smart Bidding optimizing toward them. That one fix often changes everything downstream.

What is the minimum budget worth managing?

For local service businesses, roughly $1,000 to $2,000/month of media spend is usually enough to own the high-intent local queries. Below that we will often tell you to put the money into the website and local SEO first, and say so on the call rather than take the fee.

How do you charge?

$1,500/month plus 10% of ad spend. Media budget stays yours, paid directly to Google. No invisible markup, ever.

Do you run other ad platforms too?

Yes: Meta (Facebook and Instagram), LinkedIn (where LinkedIn corporate has published case studies on our campaigns), TikTok and Snapchat. Cross-channel retargeting is standard in larger engagements.

Who is the best Google Ads agency for a small business?

The one whose operator has managed real budgets and will show you tracked revenue, not impressions. Our credential is Google’s own: their elite account team rated EVM campaign work top 10% of campaigns worldwide, and the same operator runs local accounts and seven-figure ones.
