PPC management · all platforms

Paid media that pays for itself. Every month.

Most PPC retainers are billed against ad spend — incentivizing your agency to spend more, regardless of return. Ours are billed flat. Senior media buyers, transparent reporting, and a clear answer to the only question that matters: did this dollar of spend return more than a dollar?

What real cross-platform PPC management does

Spend that closes — across every channel.

Google, Meta, LinkedIn, TikTok, and programmatic — under one team, one attribution model, one accountable senior strategist. Most agencies specialize in one platform and white-label the rest, which is how cross-channel attribution falls apart and budgets misallocate. We run all five in-house with a unified attribution layer, so the platform that actually closes your pipeline gets the budget regardless of what looked good in last-click reporting.

Most agencies bill % of ad spend — typically 12–20% — which incentivizes them to push spend regardless of whether it works. We bill a flat fee scaled to account complexity. We make the same money whether your blended spend is $5K or $500K. Senior buyers (8+ years average, $40M+ managed each), GA4 + offline conversion imports, weekly cross-platform experiments, and a single dashboard tracking every dollar from impression to closed-won deal.

3.2x avg. ROAS

Median ROAS across active e-commerce accounts. B2B accounts measured against pipeline, not ROAS.

Pipeline-attributed

Server-side conversion tracking + offline conversion imports. Real attribution, not last-click illusion.

Senior buyers, not interns

Average buyer on your account has spent $40M+. The agency is small for a reason — we won't dilute the team.

What's included

What's actually in a multi-platform PPC retainer.

Five disciplines run as one cross-channel program — Google, Meta, LinkedIn, TikTok, and programmatic. No platform silos, no white-labeled hands. The same senior buyer who runs your Google account is the one running Meta + LinkedIn alongside it, with shared audience signals and one unified attribution view.

Audit before action.

Every engagement starts with a 2-week audit of your existing accounts: structure, naming conventions, conversion tracking, audience definitions, creative performance, and competitive positioning. Output is a written audit + 90-day plan, signed off before we spend a dollar.

Phase duration
Weeks 1–2
Output
Written 30-page audit
// deliverables
  • Account structure audit
    Campaigns, ad groups, keywords, audiences — reviewed against best practice.
  • Conversion tracking audit
    Pixel firing, server-side events, attribution windows. Most accounts have leaks here.
  • Creative + copy review
    What's working, what isn't, where the messaging gap is.
  • 90-day plan
    Written plan with prioritized changes, expected impact, and clear success criteria.

Ad copy that stops the scroll.

Generic ad copy is a tax on your budget. Our writers are senior — same team that writes our website work — and they research your buyers before they touch a single ad. Static + motion creative produced in-house. RSA + display + video versions tested every month.

Output
20–40 ads / month

// deliverables
  • Ad copywriting

  • Static creative

  • Motion + video
    Short-form video, animated banners, Reels-format content for paid social.
  • Creative testing program
    Statistical creative testing — what wins, why, what to scale.

Real attribution, not last-click theater.

Most PPC dashboards lie because the tracking lies. We rebuild attribution from the ground up: server-side events, offline conversion imports, view-through windows tuned to your sales cycle. The dashboard your team sees is the same dashboard we use to optimize.

    Looker Studio. By campaign, by audience, by creative, by stage.
  • Weekly performance review
    Same dashboard, reviewed weekly with your account lead.

Smart bidding, smartly fed.

Smart bidding only works if the inputs are good. We feed Google + Meta machine bidding the right conversion signals, the right value modifiers, and the right audience definitions. Then we monitor what the algorithms get wrong — which is more often than the platforms admit.

Where ad spend actually converts.

An ad is only as good as the page it lands on. We design and build dedicated landing pages for high-spend campaigns, run A/B tests on them every week, and tie the CRO program to the same dashboard tracking ad performance. Pages live on your domain, you own them.

Our process

How we run a paid media program.

Same operating cadence on every account — auditable, time-boxed, dashboard-transparent. Designed to build trust before scaling spend.

STAGE 01 — AUDIT

Find the leaks.

Account audit, tracking audit, creative review, competitive positioning. Output: a written 90-day plan signed off before we spend.

Weeks 1–2
STAGE 02 — POSITION

Build the foundation.

Account restructure, tracking rebuild, creative production, landing pages built. Approved before launch.

Weeks 2–4
STAGE 03 — BUILD

Launch + iterate weekly.

Campaigns live by week 5. Weekly creative testing, weekly bid review, monthly strategy session. Dashboard always-on.

Month 2+
STAGE 04 — SCALE

Compound the wins.

Once unit economics are proven, scale spend at controlled velocity. Add channels (LinkedIn, TikTok) once core platforms are saturating.

Month 4+
Why teams pick us

Why flat-fee instead of % of spend?

Because the % of spend model creates a conflict of interest. The more you spend, the more an agency makes — regardless of whether the spend returns. We bill flat, scaled to account complexity, so we recommend the spend that's right for your business — not the spend that's right for our invoice.

What's the minimum monthly ad spend?

$5,000/month for B2C, $8,000/month for B2B. Below those thresholds, smart bidding doesn't have enough conversion data to optimize, and our hourly time on the account exceeds the value we can deliver. We'll tell you on the call if you're not at scale yet.

Which platforms do you run?

Google (Search, Performance Max, YouTube, Display, Shopping), Meta (Facebook + Instagram), LinkedIn (B2B only), TikTok (B2C consumer), and Microsoft Ads when ICP fits. We don't recommend running every platform from day one — we usually start with 1–2 and add as the unit economics prove out.

Can you work with our existing analytics setup?

Yes — and we'll usually rebuild parts of it. Most accounts have tracking gaps that distort decision-making. We use what's there, fix what's broken, and add server-side + offline imports where the platforms need them to bid intelligently.

How long until we see results?

Audit findings: week 1–2. First wins: weeks 4–6 (usually waste reduction, not new lift). Meaningful program lift: month 3+. Compounding ROAS improvements: month 6+. Anyone promising '2x ROAS in 30 days' is selling restructuring of an already-failing account, not real growth.

Do you handle creative, or do we provide it?

We handle it — both static and motion. Most clients have brand assets we adapt; some need original photography or video, which we can shoot or commission. The creative scope is in the SOW so there's no surprise. Working from your team's creative is also fine — we just review it for performance fit.

We were looking for an experienced agency to optimize our PPC landing pages — the existing ones were not achieving the expected results. After discussing our concerns, the agency proposed a suitable solution. Since implementing the new landing pages, our conversion rate has increased by over 140%.
