At the end of the month, all that’s left is the realization: Google has earned money, you haven’t. Yet, you cannot afford to give up Google Ads.

What is SEA & Google Ads and why is it important for your business?
SEA (Search Engine Advertising) is paid advertising in search engines, and Google Ads is one of the most effective tools in digital marketing. The key advantage: Google Ads delivers immediate clicks and results, while SEO takes months to show initial successes.
Google Ads offers various ad formats: search ads appear directly in Google results, display ads on partner websites, YouTube ads for video advertising, and shopping ads for online stores. The latter utilize the Google Merchant Center, where product catalogs are stored, to create attractive ads with images, prices, and reviews.
Google Ads is profitable both at the beginning and in the long term. Properly set up campaigns can already bring you the first sales while your SEO strategy has not yet taken effect. You can start to recoup your investments immediately. Over time, your optimization will improve – and so will the profitability of your Google Adwords campaigns.
Many mistakenly believe that SEO is cheaper than Google Ads because it brings “free traffic.” This is a myth. SEO costs just as much – sometimes even more. Writing articles, technical optimization, paying developers, continuous content creation – all of these are costs that you, as a manager, have to cover.
As an agency with immense marketing experience, we unequivocally say: Utilize all customer acquisition channels. All of them without exception. If you can earn even one euro with one channel, scale it and earn a million. That is the essence of successful advertising: do not burn budget on non-functioning channels but invest in what generates revenue.
Google Ads reaches people with a concrete intention to purchase exactly at the right moment – starting from the very first minute of your campaign.

Our Philosophy: Customer Profit Comes First
It is important to understand: Clicks are Google’s goal, not yours. Google gets paid for every click, and it does this consistently. Our task is fundamentally different – to ensure that these clicks are profitable for you. Advertising and order processing costs must be lower than the gross profit from sales. We are not trying to feed Google or ruin you – we adjust the work to be profitable and continuously monitor this balance.
Many new clients think that once you set up Google Ads, you can simply load the account and orders will flow like a river. This is a dangerous misconception. If you leave campaigns unattended, expenses will quickly accumulate without resulting in orders. Therefore, our work requires daily, multiple checks and adjustments.
Stage 1: In-Depth Analysis and Diagnosis
We always start with a comprehensive audit, but not only technically. We study your business from within: order economics, product margins, seasonality, target audience. Without understanding how much you earn with each sale, it is impossible to set up profitable advertising.
If you already have Google Ads campaigns, we analyze not only their settings but also the actual profitability. Often, we discover that campaigns generate many clicks but are unprofitable due to incorrect settings or a lack of connection between clicks and real sales.
Stage 2: Establishing Trust and Access
Effective work with Google Ads requires complete transparency between agency and client. We need access not only to the Google Ads account but also to sales data, margins, and conversions. This work can be considered intimate – we study the economics of your business to optimize under real profit.
We set up analytical systems so that we can see the complete funnel: from click to paid order. Without this linkage, every optimization is a shot in the dark.
Stage 3: Market Research and Semantic Gathering
We collect a semantic core focusing on commercial queries. We analyze not only frequency but also the potential profitability of each direction. We study competitors but do not blindly copy their strategies – often they work ineffectively as well.
Stage 4: Campaign Setup with ROI Focus
We create a campaign structure where each ad group has clear profitability goals. We do not simply set up conversions as “inquiries received,” but consider inquiry costs and the likelihood of closing a sale.
Special attention – correct tracking setup. Every euro of advertising budget must be measurable and linked to results.
Stage 5: Daily Monitoring and Optimization (Continuous)
Here begins the most important work. Multiple times a day, we check key metrics: which keywords or products are clicked, what the purchase percentage is, what the costs per order are in each area.
Our goal is to find the perfect balance between the number of clicks and the orders received, ensuring that the average costs per order do not exceed a certain level for it to remain profitable.
Daily, we analyze search queries, adjust bids, turn off ineffective keywords, and scale profitable directions. This is a continuous fine-tuning process.
Stage 6: Weekly Strategy Optimization
Weekly, we conduct in-depth efficiency analyses. We look not only at overall metrics but also at the profitability of each segment. We reallocate budgets in favor of the most profitable directions.
We test new approaches, but always with ROI control. We cautiously utilize Google’s automated strategies – they optimize for clicks and conversions, not for your profit.
Stage 7: Partnership Relationships and Development
As a result of this approach, we become not just contractors but partners in business development. We understand the economics of your campaigns better than many internal employees and can propose strategic solutions for scaling.
This process requires more time and effort than simple “setup and start,” but only it guarantees that Google Ads becomes a source of profit and not a waste of budget.
What does Google Ads management cost?
The costs for Google Ads management depend on several factors: scope of work, number of your products or keywords, and your advertising budget. The larger the budget, the more intensive the daily optimization. An online shop with 10,000 products requires significantly more effort than a local service with 50 keywords. Therefore, we create an individual offer for each customer based on their specific requirements.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the difference between Google Ads and Google AdWords?
Google AdWords has not existed since 2018 – that was simply the old name! Google renamed the tool to “Google Ads” and also modernized the user interface. Functionally, it is the same: you run ads in Google Search and the Display Network. If you still find old tutorials that mention “AdWords” – just replace it with “Google Ads”.
What is Google Merchant Center?
The Merchant Center is your product catalog for Google Shopping. Here, you upload your product data (prices, images, descriptions) and connect it with Google Ads. Without Merchant Center, there are no Shopping ads! Remember: The data must always be up to date, otherwise Google will suspend your account. A product feed update every 24 hours is mandatory.
What types of Google Ads campaigns are there?
You have the choice between search ads (appearing in Google searches), display ads (banners on websites), shopping ads (product images with prices), video ads (YouTube), app ads, and local ads. Search campaigns are usually the best entry point – here you reach people who are already searching for your product.
How are bids and clicks related?
The higher your bid, the more likely your ad will be displayed – but not automatically! Google also looks at ad quality and relevance. A smart bid of €0.50 with a perfect ad often beats a €2 bid with poor text. Test different bidding strategies and let Google’s algorithm optimize for you.
Why is advertising following me everywhere on the internet?
This is called remarketing or retargeting. Websites store small cookies on your computer that “mark” you. When you visit other pages later, the system recognizes you again and displays relevant ads. That’s why you suddenly see shoes everywhere after visiting an online shop. Smart for advertisers, sometimes annoying for you!
What are display ads?
Display ads are the colorful banners you see on websites – ranging from small rectangles to large headers. They work differently than search ads: instead of targeting search terms, you reach people based on their interests or demographics. Perfect for brand awareness, but generally result in fewer direct conversions than search ads.
What does "Quality Score" mean in Google Ads?
The quality score is Google’s grade for your ads (1-10 points). Google evaluates three things: ad relevance, expected click-through rate, and landing page experience. A high score means cheaper clicks and better placements! Write relevant ad texts, use keywords in the ad, and ensure fast, mobile landing pages.
What are shopping ads?
Shopping ads showcase your products directly in Google search with an image, price, and shop name. They usually appear at the top and are extremely effective for e-commerce! Requirement: A clean Merchant Center feed with accurate product data. These ads often have higher conversion rates because users can already see the product and the price.
What is the difference between CPC and CPM?
CPC (Cost per Click) means: You only pay when someone clicks on your ad. CPM (Cost per Mille) means: You pay for 1,000 ad impressions, regardless of whether they are clicked. CPC is standard for search ads, while CPM is usually for branding campaigns in the display network. As a beginner, stick with CPC – that way you know what you’re paying for.
Can my ads also appear with the competition?
Yes, definitely! Google shows your ads where your target audience is active – even on competitor websites in the display network. This is completely normal and even smart: You “steal” traffic directly from the competition! However, you can exclude certain websites if you don’t want that. With search ads, you will appear for the same keywords as your competitors anyway.
What are ad extensions?
Ad extensions make your ads larger and more informative – for free! You can add phone numbers, additional links, locations, or reviews. This makes your ad more eye-catching and gets more clicks. Google favors ads with extensions, so be sure to use them. Sitelink extensions are particularly effective for increasing clicks.
What does "automatic bidding strategy" mean?
Google takes care of bidding for you and automatically adjusts bids to achieve your goals (more clicks, conversions, etc.). Perfect if you don’t have time for manual micromanagement! But be careful: Google needs data first to optimize effectively. It’s better to start with manual bids, collect data for 2-3 weeks, and then switch to automatic.
Why can’t I see my own ads?
Completely normal! Google does not show you your ads because you are (likely) not your target audience. Additionally, your own clicks would waste the budget and distort the statistics. Use the ad preview tool in Google Ads or ask friends if they see your ads. Important: Never click on your own ads!
What are YouTube ads?
YouTube ads run before, during, or after videos and in the YouTube feed. You create them through Google Ads and can target very precisely – by age, interests, or even specific YouTube channels. Video content works especially well for emotional products. Tip: The first 5 seconds determine success or failure, so place the hook right at the beginning!
What is remarketing?
Remarketing means: You show ads only to people who have already visited your website. This is extremely effective because these people already know you! You can even create specific lists – for example, only for people who have viewed a product but did not buy it. Conversion rates in remarketing are often 3-5 times higher than for “cold” target audiences.
