Google Ads Management
Campaigns that drive your best customers to click
Eliminate wasted SEM budget
It’s true – Google Ads is a tried and tested method for attracting eager customers directly to your website. However, it can be expensive to run an Ads campaign, particularly if you’re in a competitive industry (and, spoiler alert: the majority of our clients operate in very competitive industries). You’re bidding against your best competitors for every single click, and without constant management and optimisation, those careless clicks add up to a huge marketing bill each month.
When you work with EDGE, our experts write personality-packed ad copy, designed to show up at the right time, to the right customers. Our process uses artificial intelligence tools that provide powerful insights to drive your costs down and your profits up.
We don’t just work with clients; we build lasting partnerships
At EDGE, we don’t take a scattershot approach to any of our digital marketing strategies — Google Ads included. Instead, we research the top-performing queries for your business when we decide where to allocate budget. While many agencies stop there, we take an alternative approach to Ad campaign management.
We look at the intent of every search query and only bid on those that indicate the searcher is at the point of purchase or enquiry. In other words, you’ll only be allocating money to search queries that have a high chance of converting into a sale or enquiry.
This strategic approach results in:
- Immediate results with ads that are completely targeted to your ideal customers.
- A steady stream of high-quality leads, ready to buy.
- A clear path to profit - from search query to conversion.

Kick things off with our pay-per-click (PPC) management services and search advertising that’s handled by our team of specialists. Find out more about how EDGE is managing your Google Ads campaigns by reading our FAQs.
What is Google Ads and PPC?
Google Ads (formerly known as Google AdWords) is a platform developed by Google that allows businesses like yours to display ads on Google Search, YouTube and its partner websites. It’s designed to promote your products and services by targeting specific keywords, locations and audiences.
The Google Ads platform works on a pay-per-click (PPC) model. This means with Google Ads you only pay when someone clicks on your ad, making it a cost-effective tool for driving traffic, leads and sales.
How much should I spend for a Google Ads campaign?
The ideal Google Ads spend would vary widely by industry, depending heavily on the cost per click (CPC). In some industries, like telecommunications, the CPC can be over $100. While in other industries, like consumer goods, it can be as low as $0.50.
A rough guidline we can give you:
- Most small businesses (5-25 employees) tend to spend at least $2,500-$10,000 per month on Search Ads.
- Slightly larger businesses (25-50 employees) should expect to spend between $5,000 and $25,000 to stay competitive.
As an agency we don’t work with budgets smaller than $1,000 per month.

How do you measure results?
At EDGE, we measure results for our Google Ads campaigns, we track several key actions and KPIs:
- We utilise Google’s Call Forwarding technology to monitor phone calls that came in through your ads, track performance and analyse call metrics to further refine targeting strategies.
- We also track Form Submissions to measure the number of completed forms directly from ad interactions.
- Where available, we’ll integrate any third party booking software with our systems so we can monitor sales value.
- Specifically for eCommerce campaigns we monitor sales value by tracking the total revenue from purchases directly linked to ad interactions.
- We also track other conversion points like email clicks, live chat, and map pack engagements like phone calls from Google Map Ads.
Why work with a Google Ads agency?
The three main reasons to work with a Google Ads agency like EDGE are: experience, expertise and quality control.
Rather than concerning yourself or your in-house marketing team with learning the complexities of Google Ad’s ever-shifting algorithm, we bring you our expertise and experience, and do the hard work for you.
As a Google Partner agency managing a wide range of campaigns, we have access to a large data set from different industries, which enables us to spot trends and optimise performance more effectively. Our Google Ads specialists know what works in different industries and what to avoid, and we’re experienced in navigating complex ad strategies successfully.
Our team firmly believes in ongoing vigilance and adaptation to changes in the market, keeping campaigns aligned with best practises, new features and tools to allow for the most efficient use of ads budgets. We provide quality control by continuously monitoring and refining your ads to ensure you’re getting the best possible return on investment.
What is a Google Partner?
The Google Partner badge is limited to agencies with a wide and varied portfolio of clients and almost faultless results, such as high click-through rates and international exposure.
Google Partner agencies must have client base growth that is linear and consistent, rather than exponentially achieved by bots or by overly saturating content with keywords. This strategy ensures that Partner agencies are held accountable both to Google (with their spending requirements) and their clientele (through providing optimal profit margins and ever-increasing reach).
Edge Marketing has achieved and maintained the Google Partner status over the past years, which demonstrates advanced knowledge and experience in running Google Ads, ensuring efficient campaign management, optimised ad performance, and more effective use of advertising budgets.
Does Google Ads help SEO?
While Google Ads and SEO are separate marketing tactics, and ads won’t directly improve organic rankings, Paid Ads and SEO can complement each other in several ways. Google Ads campaigns offer more comprehensive data insights and analytics, such as user engagement signals and conversion rates by keyword and search term, that can be applied to organic SEO strategies. On the other hand, SEO on-page and content optimisations on landing pages can positively affect user experience and quality scores for Google Ads.
