Why teams choose us
What you get
High-intent search first
Budget goes to searches from people evaluating a vendor, with strict negatives for students, job seekers, competitors' customers and support queries.
The CRM teaches Google
Click IDs, enhanced conversions and offline imports send qualified lead, opportunity and revenue events back to Google.
Value-based bidding with guardrails
Once conversion data is clean, campaigns move to value-based bidding, tested against a control so you can see the difference.
Clear fees
Management from 10% to 15% of ad spend, no media markup. You own the accounts and pay the platforms directly.
In practice
Google Ads for Bay Area B2B companies
Bay Area categories attract heavily funded competitors bidding on the same terms. We concentrate budget on high-intent and comparison searches where you can win, use clear negative lists and judge spend on pipeline value rather than click volume.
First play: win where you can
Instead of matching heavily funded competitors on broad category terms, we concentrate budget on comparison, alternative and integration searches where your product has a clear answer, and protect brand terms. Spend is judged on pipeline value from the CRM.
