In short

What is PPC management?

PPC management is the ongoing work of running paid-search and paid-social campaigns so they produce booked leads, not just clicks. It covers account structure, keyword and negative-keyword selection, ad copy, landing-page match, conversion and call tracking, and continuous optimisation toward cost per lead. Angarum manages Google, Microsoft, and paid-social ads for service businesses across Canada and the US, and you keep full ownership of the ad account.

  • What it is: managed paid search and paid social, optimised to leads rather than clicks.
  • Who it is for: service businesses that want tracked, accountable ad spend.
  • What you keep: full ownership of your Google Ads account, its history and data.
  • Fees: management from $900/month, sized to your goals before you commit.

Why management matters

Most PPC waste is structural, not bad luck.

Loose account structure, broad keywords with no negatives, ads pointed at the homepage, and no conversion tracking — that is where most ad budgets quietly bleed. We fix the structure first, then optimise to booked leads.

Where most accounts leak budget
01
No negatives
Broad keywords matching junk searches with no exclusion list.
02
Homepage landing
Ads sent to a generic page instead of a matched one.
03
No call tracking
Phone leads invisible, so bids optimise to the wrong thing.
04
Loose structure
One messy campaign instead of tight, themed ad groups.

The four leaks we close first

What we do

Six things. Done properly.

Structure first. Here is exactly what that looks like.

i.

Account architecture

Tightly themed campaigns and ad groups so every query maps to a relevant ad and page — the foundation that decides whether spend works.

Tight themes
ii.

Keywords & negatives

High-intent keywords with a living negative list so budget goes to searches that book work, not tyre-kickers.

Intent only
iii.

Ad copy & extensions

Responsive search ads with tested headlines plus sitelink, callout, call and location extensions to own more of the page.

Tested + extended
iv.

Landing-page match

The ad promise matches the page headline and action — the single biggest lever on Quality Score and conversion rate.

Message match
v.

Conversion tracking

Calls and forms tracked properly, with offline import where the CRM allows, so we optimise to real leads and real revenue.

Why PPC management

High intent, high stakes per click.

Paid search is where buying intent is highest — and where clicks cost the most. With local service CPCs frequently above $16, and ‘ppc management’ itself drawing over 12,000 US searches a month, loose account structure burns budget faster than almost anything else in marketing.

We run tight, tracked accounts: themed campaigns, exact and phrase keywords with a living negative list, ads matched to dedicated landing pages, and conversion and call tracking so every dollar optimises to a booked lead — not a raw click. Your ad account always stays in your name.

Frequently asked

Plain answers. No jargon.

What is PPC management?
PPC (pay-per-click) management is the ongoing work of running paid search campaigns — Google Ads and Local Services Ads — so they produce leads efficiently: account structure, keywords, ad copy, landing-page match, conversion tracking and continuous optimisation.
How much should I budget for PPC?
Two numbers: management and ad spend. Management starts at $900/month; ad spend depends on your market and cost-per-click, often $1,500–$5,000/month for local businesses. We size both to your goals before you commit.
Do I keep my own ad account?
Always. Your Google Ads account is created and owned under your business, and we manage it. If we part ways, you keep the account, the history and the data.
How is PPC different from SEO?
PPC buys the top of the page instantly and stops when you stop paying; SEO builds organic rankings that compound over time. Most businesses run PPC for immediate leads while SEO matures, then balance the two.
Do you track phone calls?
Yes. Calls and form submissions are tracked, with offline conversion import where your CRM allows, so campaigns optimise to booked leads instead of raw clicks.
How do you report results?
One monthly scorecard: cost per lead, conversion rate, spend and trend — plain language, no vanity metrics. You will always know whether it is working.
Is PPC worth it for a small business?
It can be, when the tracking and follow-up are in place. Paid search puts you in front of people actively searching for what you sell, so a small business with a clear service area and a fast reply to every lead often reaches a lower cost per customer than broad awareness ads. The deciding factor is whether each lead is tracked and answered quickly.
How long does PPC take to show results?
Paid search can generate leads within days of launch, unlike SEO. The first two to four weeks are a learning phase while the campaign gathers conversion data, and results usually stabilise around 60 to 90 days once negatives, bids and landing pages have been tuned to the leads that actually convert.
What is a good cost per lead for PPC?
It depends on your industry and margin, so the honest answer is lower than the value of a customer, and trending down over time. Broad 2026 search benchmarks put many service categories near $100 to $160 per lead, but your own account, tracked to booked jobs, is the only number that matters.
Should I run Google Ads or Meta ads?
Use them for different jobs. Google Search captures people actively looking for your service right now, so it usually leads for direct lead generation. Meta builds awareness and retargets people who already visited, supporting demand earlier in the journey. Many service businesses run Search first, then add Meta for retargeting.
What are Local Services Ads and do I need them?
Local Services Ads are Google's pay-per-lead ads that appear above search results with a Google Screened or Guaranteed badge, common for trades, legal and home services. You pay per lead rather than per click. If your category is eligible, they often pair well with regular search campaigns and can lower cost per lead.
