What's Included in Google Ads Management
Every deliverable scoped + executed by a vetted specialist. No agency markup, no scope creep.
Account architecture audit & rebuild
We audit existing structure, identify wasted spend (low-quality search terms, mis-matched keywords, broken conversion tracking) and rebuild the account around your actual profitable segments.
Search campaign management
Keyword research, ad group structure, negative keyword discipline, ad copy testing, and bid strategy tuned to your CPA or ROAS target.
Performance Max campaigns
Asset groups, audience signals, listing groups (for Shopping), and conversion value rules — managed for incremental performance, not just total volume.
Shopping & feed optimization
Merchant Center health, feed enrichment (titles, attributes, GTINs), feed-level segmentation, and bid strategy by product profitability.
Conversion tracking + GA4 setup
Server-side conversion tracking via GTM/Tag Server, enhanced conversions, offline conversion imports if you have a CRM, GA4 event mapping. Bad tracking is the #1 cause of bad optimization.
Creative & landing page testing
Headline/description variants, RSA combinations, landing page A/B tests where we own the LP or coordinate with your team where you do.
Weekly optimization
Bid adjustments, search term harvesting, negative additions, budget reallocation between campaigns, ad rotation review. Documented in a shared change log.
Monthly performance reporting
CPA / ROAS by campaign and product, MoM trend, what we changed and why, what we plan to test next month. Plain English, not an agency PDF deck.

KPIs We Track
The metrics that actually drive google ads management success — reported monthly in plain English, not buried in dashboards.
CPA (Cost Per Acquisition)
Cost per qualified conversion against your defined target — by campaign, ad group, and channel.
ROAS (Return on Ad Spend)
Revenue per dollar spent, blended and by campaign. Critical for ecommerce; less critical for lead-gen where pipeline value matters more.
Conversion rate by campaign / search term
Lets us spot under-converting traffic before it bleeds budget. Drives negative-keyword and search-term harvesting decisions.
Impression share + lost-to-budget vs lost-to-rank
Tells us if budget is the constraint vs auction position. Drives bid strategy decisions.
Quality Score (where it materially affects rank)
Tracked at keyword level for Search campaigns where Quality Score is in the bottom quartile — usually a signal of ad-LP mismatch or low CTR.
Search term harvesting yield
New negative keywords and new exact-match additions per week. A leading indicator of account hygiene.

Start Google Ads ManagementGoogle Ads Management — FAQs
How much should I spend on Google Ads before hiring this service?
A useful floor is ~$3,000/mo in ad spend. Below that the management fee starts to dominate the economics and your dollars are better spent first on conversion tracking + landing page basics. Between $3,000-$15,000/mo, a part-time managed specialist (20 hrs/week, $1,200-1,400/mo) is the sweet spot. Above $15,000/mo, full-time management (40 hrs/week, $1,700-2,100/mo) pays for itself in optimization headroom.
Will the specialist manage Performance Max too, or just Search?
Both. Our Google Ads specialists are vetted on Performance Max specifically — asset groups, audience signals, listing groups for Shopping, conversion value rules, and the diagnostic skills to know when PMax is being inefficient vs Search. PMax has become non-optional for any Google Ads account doing meaningful volume.
Do you set up conversion tracking, or do I need to have it working already?
We set it up. GA4 events, enhanced conversions, server-side tagging via GTM Server, offline conversion imports from your CRM if applicable — all standard scope. We don't accept engagements where tracking is broken and the client doesn't want it fixed; optimizing on broken data wastes both our time and your money.
Can you run Search and Performance Max in parallel without them eating each other?
Yes — this is one of the most common questions and one of the things most agencies do badly. The pattern that works: branded Search stays in brand campaigns, non-brand Search owns specific high-intent queries, and PMax fills the rest (Shopping, broad audience, repeat customers via signals). We exclude branded terms from PMax via campaign-level negatives. Done right, the campaigns are complementary, not competitive.
How quickly can the Google Ads Management engagement start?
Most Google Ads Management engagements start within 48-72 hours of intake. We match you with a vetted Google Ads specialist whose experience matches your industry, spend tier, and toolstack — then schedule a kickoff call. The first week is onboarding and audit; deliverables typically start hitting in week two.
What if the specialist isn't a good fit?
Replacement guarantee is included at no cost. If the match isn't right — communication, output quality, or technical fluency — flag it through your Talent Success Manager and we replace with another vetted specialist, typically within 5-7 business days. No re-recruitment fees, no gap in service. We get the match right ~95% of the time on the first try, but the safety net is built in.
Is there a long-term contract?
No. Google Ads Management services from EverestX are month-to-month. Cancel anytime with 30 days notice. Most clients stay 6-12+ months once the service is producing results, but we don't lock you in — we earn the renewal monthly.
How does the pricing compare to hiring full-time or using an agency?
Through EverestX, Google Ads Management runs $1,700–$2,100/mo for full-time engagements (40 hrs/week) or $1,200–$1,400/mo for part-time (20 hrs/week). Comparable US-based full-time hires cost $6,000-$12,000/mo loaded (salary + benefits + tools + recruitment fees). Agency retainers for similar scope start at $4,000-$8,000/mo with multi-account dilution. The savings come from a managed-talent model, not a quality compromise — every specialist is vetted on platform certifications, account history, and a working test before placement.
