Paid search, shopping and paid social

PPC Management Judged on Cost per Qualified Lead

Clicks are easy to buy and easy to report. The number that decides whether paid search works for you is what a lead your sales team will actually accept costs, and how that number behaves when you double the budget.

We take over accounts that are spending steadily and converting badly, fix the structure, then scale what proves out. No long lock-in, no percentage of spend that rewards us for spending more of your money.

The problem

From Spending Steadily to Converting Predictably

As a PPC agency taking over accounts from other providers, we find the same causes behind most of them.

01

Conversion tracking counting the wrong thing

Form views counted as leads, duplicate conversions across tools, and no feedback from the CRM about which ones closed. The bidding algorithm optimizes toward noise and does it efficiently.

02

Broad match with no discipline

Budget spread across queries with no commercial intent because broad match was turned on and the negative list was never built. Half the spend goes to searches you would never have chosen.

03

Leads sales will not touch

Volume is up and the sales team stopped calling the list. Nobody has fed acceptance or close data back into the account, so the algorithm keeps buying the wrong person cheaply.

04

Shopping campaigns losing on margin

Return on ad spend looks acceptable in aggregate while a third of the catalog sells below contribution margin. Feed quality and product-level bidding were never addressed.

05

Nothing scales past a ceiling

Performance is fine at ten thousand a month and falls apart at thirty. Nobody has built the account structure or the creative volume that scaling requires.

06

An agency paid to spend more

A percentage-of-spend contract makes budget increases the agency's easiest growth lever. The incentive is not aligned with your cost per acquisition and never was.

Most underperforming accounts we audit have the same three causes: conversion tracking that counts the wrong thing, match types too broad for the budget, and no negative keyword discipline. All three are fixable in the first month, and the audit that identifies them costs you nothing.

End-to-End PPC Services Across Search, Shopping and Paid Social

Nine areas of work. Which ones apply depends on whether we are fixing an existing account or building one from nothing, and we will tell you which after the audit.

01

Google Ads search management

Account structure, match type strategy, negative discipline and bid management built around cost per qualified lead. Rebuilt rather than patched when the existing structure is beyond tuning.

  • Account restructure where needed
  • Negative keyword program
  • Bid strategy tied to lead quality
02

Shopping and Performance Max

Feed quality, product segmentation and margin-aware bidding, so the campaign stops averaging profitable products with unprofitable ones and calling the result acceptable.

  • Feed audit and optimization
  • Product-level margin segmentation
  • Performance Max asset group control
03

Paid social

Meta, LinkedIn and where it fits, TikTok. Creative volume, audience testing and a landing experience built for the platform rather than reused from search.

  • Creative testing cadence
  • Audience and exclusion strategy
  • Platform-specific landing pages
04

B2B lead generation

Long sales cycles need offline conversion feedback or the algorithm optimizes toward whoever fills in forms most readily. We connect the CRM and bid toward accepted opportunities.

  • Offline conversion import
  • Account and job-title targeting
  • Bidding toward sales-accepted leads
05

Regulated industry campaigns

Healthcare, legal and financial services campaigns run under platform policy and privacy constraints, including consent-aware tracking where standard pixels are not appropriate.

  • Policy-compliant ad review
  • Privacy-conscious tracking setup
  • Local intent targeting
06

Conversion tracking and attribution

Server-side tagging, consent mode, deduplication and CRM feedback. Usually the first thing we fix, because everything downstream depends on the numbers being real.

  • Server-side tagging setup
  • Consent mode configuration
  • CRM closed-loop reporting
07

Landing page and CRO support

The cheapest improvement in most accounts is not the bid, it is the page the click lands on. We build and test dedicated pages rather than sending paid traffic to the homepage.

  • Dedicated landing page builds
  • A/B testing program
  • Form and funnel diagnostics
08

Remarketing and retention

Sequenced remarketing that stops showing the same ad to the same person for ninety days, plus customer match lists for cross-sell and win-back.

  • Frequency and exclusion rules
  • Customer match segments
  • Sequenced creative by stage
09

Ongoing optimization and scaling

Weekly work on bids, queries, creative and budget allocation, with a documented view of where the account stops scaling efficiently and what it would take to move that ceiling.

  • Weekly optimization log
  • Scale ceiling analysis
  • Monthly review against CPA target

Account structure

How a paid account is structured

Campaign surfaces sit at the top, because that is where the spend runs. Measurement sits underneath, because that is the signal bidding uses. Targeting and landing sit in the middle, so the click has a job before budget is increased.

    The signal bidding uses

    • Server-side tags
    • Consent mode
    • Offline conversions
    • Anomaly alerts

Automated bidding changed what a PPC agency is for

The platforms now handle bid setting better than any human can. What they cannot do is decide what counts as a conversion, judge lead quality, or tell you when your offer is the problem.

  • Conversion signal quality is the whole job Feed the algorithm form fills and you get form fills. Feed it sales-accepted opportunities from your CRM and the same budget starts buying a different person. This single change moves accounts more than any bid adjustment.
  • Keeping control inside automated campaigns Performance Max and Advantage+ hide a lot. Asset group segmentation, brand exclusions and scripted reporting put the visibility back, so you know where the money went rather than trusting a summary.
  • AI for creative volume Automated campaigns consume creative faster than a human team can write it. We use AI for variant production, then human review before anything runs, because approved claims in regulated categories are not negotiable.
  • Anomaly detection, not dashboard watching Scripted alerts on spend, CPA and conversion drops catch tracking breaks in hours instead of at the monthly review. A pixel that silently stops firing is the most expensive failure in paid search.

Smart Bidding is only as good as the signal you feed it. Most of our first-month work is repairing that signal, because an algorithm optimizing toward a badly defined conversion will get very efficient at producing exactly the wrong outcome.

How We Work

Four stages, with the cheapest one first. If discovery says the project should not go ahead, you hear it in week one rather than month six.

01

Discover & Align

We begin by evaluating your workflows, existing systems and business objectives to identify the gaps that actually cost you time. Clear goals, risk mitigation and measurable benchmarks are agreed before any implementation begins.

02

Design & Architect

We design secure, scalable architecture aligned to your operational and compliance requirements. The focus stays on integration contracts, data modelling, security posture and the non-functional targets we will be held to.

03

Build & Integrate

Delivery runs in two-week sprints with a working demo at the end of each, integrated with your existing applications rather than beside them. You get a staging environment from the first sprint.

04

Optimize & Scale

After launch we monitor performance, reliability, cost and security posture, then refine to improve efficiency and long-term agility. Most clients expand scope during this phase rather than before it.

Why Choose Digital Aptech?

Here is what differentiates Digital Aptech in delivering ppc services for US and UK organizations.

01

Flat Fee, Not a Share of Spend

Our fee does not rise when your budget does. That means recommending a pause, a scale-back or a channel exit costs us nothing, which is not true of percentage-of-spend contracts.

02

Tracking Fixed First

Most underperforming accounts are optimizing toward a badly defined conversion. We repair the signal before touching bids, because everything downstream depends on the numbers being real.

03

Engineering in the Same Building

Server-side tagging, CRM integration and landing page builds are handled by our own engineers rather than referred out, which is why tracking work here takes days rather than a quarter.

04

Your Accounts, Your History

Campaigns live in your Google Ads, Meta and Tag Manager accounts. We work as a user you can revoke, and the conversion history that bidding depends on stays with you if we part company.

05

Proven Engineering Track Record

Backed by 1,700+ successful technology engagements and a 4.81 out of 5 client satisfaction rating, Digital Aptech delivers consistently across industries and project sizes.

06

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Our management fees start at $2,199 a month for part-time cover and $4,399 for a full-time dedicated specialist, separate from your ad spend. We charge a flat fee rather than a percentage of spend, so increasing your budget is a judgment call rather than a pay rise for us.

  • For most B2B search campaigns, below about $3,000 a month there is not enough data for automated bidding to learn, so results stay erratic. Ecommerce and local can work on less. We will tell you honestly if your budget is too small for the market you want to enter.

  • Traffic starts immediately. Meaningful cost per acquisition improvement usually takes six to ten weeks, because automated bidding needs a learning period after each significant change, and because fixing conversion tracking first delays the visible gains by a few weeks.

  • Yes, always. We work inside your Google Ads, Meta and Google Tag Manager accounts as a user you can revoke. Agencies that keep campaigns in their own MCC and refuse to hand over history are protecting themselves, not you.

  • Weekly optimization, negative keyword work, creative and copy testing, landing page recommendations, tracking maintenance, budget pacing and a monthly review against the agreed cost per acquisition target. A technical project manager is included.

  • Ad copy, yes, always. Landing pages we build as part of the engagement where needed. Sending paid traffic to a homepage is the single most common reason a technically sound account underperforms.

  • Yes. We run healthcare, legal and financial services accounts under the relevant platform policies, with consent-aware tracking where standard pixels are not appropriate. We will not make claims your compliance team has not approved.

  • By importing offline conversions from your CRM so bidding optimizes toward sales-accepted opportunities rather than form fills. Without that feedback loop, the algorithm will efficiently buy the people most willing to fill in a form, which is rarely your buyer.

  • Three months, which is roughly what it takes to fix tracking, restructure and see a stable result. After that it runs month to month on thirty days' notice. We do not use twelve-month lock-ins.

  • Whichever costs you less. Rebuilding loses the conversion history that automated bidding depends on, so we only do it when the existing structure cannot be tuned. The audit tells us which case you are in before you commit.

  • We focus on Google, Microsoft and paid social. For marketplace-heavy retail we will say so and recommend a specialist rather than learn on your budget.

  • Nothing changes. The accounts are yours, the history stays in them, and we run a handover call with documentation of the account structure and bidding logic for whoever takes over.
