Pay-Per-Click Advertising Built for Measurable Growth

Stranded is a PPC agency helping startups, local businesses, DTC brands, B2B companies, and SaaS teams turn paid search into measurable growth. Our PPC management services connect Google Ads strategy, keyword targeting, campaign optimization, landing pages, and conversion tracking around one goal: turning high-intent searches into qualified customers.

Because more clicks do not automatically mean more business. We build paid search around what happens after the click, continuously refining campaigns around the keywords, audiences, offers, and conversion paths that actually drive results.

PPC STRATEGY & CAMPAIGN MANAGEMENT

PPC Campaigns Built Around the Entire Customer Journey

High-performing PPC advertising is not just about winning the click. We build campaigns around search intent, audience behavior, offers, landing pages, and what happens after someone arrives, then continuously optimize toward the conversions that matter to your business.

From Google Search and Performance Max to retargeting and paid social, every campaign has a role, every click has a destination, and every dollar has a job to do.

AD COPY, TESTING & OPTIMIZATION

Turn High-Intent Searches Into Customers

Getting the click is only the first move. We continuously test ad copy, offers, keywords, audiences, and creative to understand what earns attention and what actually converts.

Those insights feed back into the campaign, helping your Google Ads strategy get sharper over time while reducing wasted spend and putting more budget behind what works.

LANDING PAGE OPTIMIZATION

Make Every Click Work Harder

A great ad can only take you so far. Our PPC management services extend beyond the campaign to the landing experience, aligning messaging, offers, calls to action, and conversion paths with the intent that brought someone there.

The result is a more connected journey from search to click to conversion, so you're not paying for traffic your website isn't prepared to convert.

THE DYNAMIC DUO

PPC + SEO: Capture Demand Now. Build It for the Long Term.

PPC advertising and SEO work better together. Paid search gives you immediate visibility for high-intent queries while SEO builds organic authority and demand over time.

More importantly, each channel makes the other smarter. Paid search can reveal which keywords, offers, and messages convert while organic search expands visibility beyond the traffic you have to keep paying for. One creates speed. The other compounds. Together, they create a stronger search strategy.

PPC & Google Ads Frequently Asked Questions

Got more questions? Contact us.

How long does it take to see results from Google Ads?

Google Ads can begin generating traffic and leads within days of launch, but meaningful optimization takes longer. The first several weeks give us the search, conversion, audience, and cost data needed to identify what's working and where budget is being wasted.

Most campaigns become more efficient as that data builds and we refine keywords, targeting, ads, offers, and landing pages around actual performance.

How much should I spend on Google Ads per month?

There is no universal Google Ads budget. The right investment depends on your industry, market, search demand, CPCs, conversion rates, competition, and growth goals.

We look at the economics behind the campaign first, then recommend a budget designed to generate enough data and opportunity to make meaningful optimization possible.

How much does PPC management cost?

PPC management costs depend on campaign complexity, advertising platforms, monthly spend, markets, and the level of strategy and optimization required.

Stranded structures PPC around the business objective rather than simply managing ad spend. That can include campaign strategy, keyword research, ad development, optimization, landing-page recommendations, conversion tracking, and performance intelligence.

What does a Google Ads management agency actually do?

A Google Ads management agency should do more than launch campaigns and adjust bids. Effective management includes account strategy, keyword and audience research, campaign structure, ad testing, budget allocation, conversion tracking, landing-page analysis, and ongoing optimization.

Stranded connects those pieces so decisions are based on what drives meaningful business outcomes, not clicks alone.

Is hiring a Google Ads agency worth it?

It can be when paid search is an important acquisition channel and your campaigns have enough demand and budget to optimize effectively.

A strong Google Ads agency should help reduce wasted spend, uncover growth opportunities, improve conversion performance, and give you a clearer understanding of what your advertising investment is producing.

Why am I getting clicks from Google Ads but no leads?

Clicks without leads usually indicate a disconnect somewhere between search intent, targeting, the ad, the offer, or the landing-page experience.

We look beyond CTR and CPC to identify where that journey is breaking down, then optimize the campaign and conversion experience together.

Can you take over an existing Google Ads account?

Yes. We can audit and take over an existing Google Ads account without rebuilding everything unnecessarily. We first evaluate campaign structure, keywords, search terms, targeting, conversion tracking, bidding, creative, landing pages, and historical performance.

Then we preserve what is working and prioritize the changes most likely to improve performance.

Do I keep ownership of my Google Ads account?

Yes. Your business should retain ownership and access to its advertising accounts and data.

Stranded manages campaigns within your account so the history, audiences, conversion data, and other assets remain with your business.

Do you set up conversion tracking for Google Ads?

Yes. Google Ads conversion tracking is fundamental to effective PPC management. Depending on the business, we can track actions such as form submissions, phone calls, purchases, booked appointments, qualified leads, and other meaningful conversions.

The goal is to optimize around business outcomes rather than traffic alone.

How do you improve the quality of leads from Google Ads?

More leads are not necessarily better leads. We improve lead quality by refining search intent, keywords, negative keywords, targeting, messaging, offers, landing pages, and conversion signals.

Where possible, we also use downstream lead and revenue data to understand which campaigns are generating customers, not simply form submissions.

How do you measure Google Ads performance and ROI?

We evaluate PPC using the metrics that connect advertising activity to business performance, including CPC, conversion rate, cost per conversion, lead quality, customer acquisition cost, revenue, and return on ad spend where applicable.

Through Mission Control, we can also view paid media alongside other marketing and business data for a more complete picture of performance.

What industries do you manage PPC and Google Ads for?

Stranded manages PPC advertising and Google Ads for startups, local businesses, DTC and ecommerce brands, B2B companies, SaaS businesses, aesthetics practices, and other growth-focused organizations.

Campaign strategy varies by business model because the search behavior, sales cycle, conversion event, and economics behind acquiring a customer are different.

What is the difference between PPC and Google Ads?

PPC, or pay-per-click advertising, is a digital advertising model where advertisers generally pay when someone clicks an ad. Google Ads is one of the largest advertising platforms used to run PPC campaigns across Google Search and other Google properties.

PPC can also include advertising across Microsoft Ads, paid social platforms, and other digital channels depending on the campaign strategy.
