What you get

How we run a Google account

Google Ads rewards relevance and punishes laziness. The accounts we inherit are usually running Performance Max on a broken feed, bidding on their own brand name against nobody, and wasting a third of spend on search terms that will never buy.

We start with the feed: titles rewritten around what people type, prices and stock synced daily, every variant present, GTINs filled. Then the structure: brand Search protected at low cost, non-brand Search on exact and phrase terms we actually want, Shopping split by margin, Performance Max only where it has clean signals. Negative keyword lists are maintained weekly.

  • Shopping and Performance Max on a feed we own and maintain, segmented by margin so the bidding knows which sales are worth more.
  • Search for high-intent and competitor terms, with ad copy that says the price and the offer, so clicks are buyers.
  • Brand defence at a fraction of what competitors pay to appear above you.
  • Conversion tracking through enhanced conversions and offline imports where leads close on the phone or in WhatsApp.
  • Weekly search-term reviews so wasted spend is removed in days, not quarters.

Who Google Ads work for

Google is the right engine when buyers search for your product category or your competitors by name: pharmacies, parts, equipment, furniture, jewellery, travel, schools, installers, anything with a known price and a comparison moment. Shopping becomes a second revenue engine for most e-commerce stores within 60 days.

For impulse or story-led products, Google alone grows slowly. That is why most of our accounts run Meta for demand and Google for capture.

See the online pharmacy, fashion retailer and solar installer case studies for Google-led accounts.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How much does Google Ads cost in South Africa?

Clicks on e-commerce Shopping ads typically cost R3 to R12; competitive service terms such as solar, legal or medical can run R40 to R150 a click. We manage to cost per purchase or cost per qualified lead, which ran from R22 (pharmacy) to R333 (solar) across our published case studies.

Do you manage Performance Max?

Yes, where it earns its place. Performance Max needs a clean feed and accurate conversion values; given those it is excellent for Shopping. Without them it spends on whatever converts cheapest, which is usually your own brand name. We set it up properly or we do not run it.

Will you fix my Google Merchant Center feed?

Yes. Feed work is part of the first week: titles, GTINs, prices, availability, variants and disapprovals. Most accounts we take over have between 10% and 40% of products disapproved or missing.

Do you run Google Ads for lead generation?

Yes. Search for high-intent terms, landing pages built to qualify, and conversion imports so Google learns from the leads that actually turned into customers, not every form fill.
