What Makes Us Different Than Other Google Ads Managers?
What makes us different than other Google Ads managers is our expertise and proof by Certification and our Google Partner status.
Many webmasters, web designers, and even marketing agencies can hang out their shingle and advertise that they can help with Google Ads account management, but it is the certification and Google Partner status, or lack there of, that is the real difference.
A Google Partner is a Certified Individual who runs an advertising agency – and works with clients in volume. Although being a Google Ads Certified Professional is important, being a Google Partner means that you are seriously in business providing Google Ads services to clients – not working Google Ads as a part time gig or managing one or two clients.
Google Partners, as part of their certification and maintenance of certification of Partner status, have to show and prove to Google that they are client responsive, knowledgeable via certifications, are transparent in advertising of their services and transparent in account management. We even have to supply to Google a copy of the reports we send to clients and have our website copy vetted.
A Google Partner is held to a higher standard by Google and so you can trust that you are working with true professionals that are knowledgeable of the Google Ads interface and manage a number of client accounts effectively.
There is a difference in quality and knowledge between those that are Google Ads Certified and those that are not. Make the right choice for your needs.
When you are ready to kick your Google Ads advertising up a notch consider us – true Google Ads professionals and a Google Partner.
Yes You Are in An Auction in Google Ads
I’ve seen mentioned on the Web in several places that Google Ads is an auction bid and then again that it is not. Finally in Google’s own help information on Google Ads they themselves use the “Auction” term.
I have long felt that getting to position one on a keyword had an auction factor to it as one could bid up the price, but in some cases never pay the actual bid price and raise a keyword s’s position. Now at least it is clearly in the open. Yes Google Ads does have an auction-like bid to position.
Remember there are additional factors that affect your keywords page position like quality score, ad text, and even landing page match and now auction is another one.
Google Ads Management Fees – How Low Can You Go
As more businesses feel pressure to squeeze every cent from Google Ads advertisements, one area that you should not skimp on is the quality of your Google Ads account manager.
Most Google Ads account management services and account managers will charge about 10% of your scheduled ad spend to manage your account. If your ad budget is $7,000 for clicks this turns into $700 for your manager to make changes and monitor your account.
My firm takes a different approach, we bill by the hour for our time. To make it easy to understand our services, we have a grid showing estimated time to manage your program based on ad spend or number of running ad groups. You then buy a certain amount of hours from us monthly and we use this time to manage your account, perform analysis, to provide reporting and to strategize with you as needed on performance and improvements.
For the client with a $7,000 ad spend that would have paid $700 for account management, our fee would have been $450. That is 36% less than the typical account manager.
As a Google Partner and Certified Google Ads Professional, you can be assured that even with a less expensive management fee, you are getting quality service.
