Your ads show for irrelevant searches and burn budget.

Your agency sends reports full of clicks and impressions, not sales.
Nobody tests new ads or landing pages, so results stay flat.
Competitors show above you in Local Services Ads and the map.

PPC in California: What's Different
Clicks cost more in California than in most states, and costs vary a lot between metros. Campaigns built for the whole state at once waste budget. Campaigns built city by city do not.
Click costs vary by metro
Clicks in San Francisco and Los Angeles usually cost more than in Fresno or Bakersfield. We set budgets and bids by city instead of one statewide number.
High-CPC industries need tight negatives
Legal, medical and home services searches attract job seekers and researchers. Strong negative keyword lists stop paying for those clicks.
Privacy rules affect tracking
The CCPA and CPRA shape how conversion data and audiences can be used. We set up consent-aware tracking so data stays usable and compliant.
Bilingual targeting
More than a quarter of Californians speak Spanish at home. Spanish ads and landing pages often face less competition.

PPC vs SEO: Which Does Your Business Need?
PPC brings leads as soon as ads go live and stops when spend stops. SEO builds more slowly and keeps working. Web design is the page both send people to. A slow or confusing site wastes the traffic you pay for.

PPC Management FAQs
How much does PPC management cost?
It depends on how many platforms and campaigns you run, your landing page needs and how complex your tracking is. Ad spend is paid directly to Google, Meta or other platforms. We send a fixed, written quote after a free audit, so you know the exact scope before you commit.
What does PPC management stand for?
PPC means pay-per-click: you pay each time someone clicks your ad. PPC management is the ongoing work of running those campaigns, including keywords, ads, bids, budgets, tracking, landing pages and reporting, so every dollar brings leads or sales.
Is PPC worth it for small businesses?
Yes, when leads are tracked and targeting is tight. PPC puts a small business in front of high-intent searches right away and lets you control spend daily. Without conversion tracking it's hard to tell what's working, so we set that up first.
Is PPC better than SEO?
Neither is better. PPC brings leads as soon as ads go live but stops when you stop paying. SEO builds more slowly but keeps working. Most businesses get the best results running both.
What does a PPC agency do?
A PPC agency builds and manages your ad campaigns: keyword research, ad copy, bidding, audience targeting, landing pages, conversion tracking and reporting.
How much should I spend on Google Ads?
It depends on cost per click in your market and how many leads you need. We recommend a starting budget during the free audit and adjust it once real data comes in.
When will I see results?
Ads start getting traffic as soon as they go live. Results then improve as we cut wasted spend, test ads and refine targeting based on real data.
Do I own my ad accounts?
Yes. Accounts are created in your name, and you keep full access if you leave.
What's in the free PPC audit?
A review of wasted spend, tracking gaps, account structure and a list of quick wins.
