We're a Google Partner.

Only one in ten US agencies is.

Google's Partner directory lists about 4,000 Partners in the US, against some 39,000 advertising agencies counted by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Google gives the status only to agencies that meet its requirements for certified staff, client ad spend, and campaign performance.

New to Google Ads?

Because we're a Google Partner, a business advertising on Google for the first time may qualify for a Google Ads promotion: free ad credit once you spend a set amount in your first 60 days, matching what you spend at the entry level. Google decides who qualifies and sets the terms, and the offer has to be applied within 20 days of opening the account, so talk to us before you set one up.

The basics

SEM, defined

Paid and organic search answer the same buyer at the same moment. Here's how they differ.

What is search engine marketing (SEM)?

Search engine marketing (SEM) is paid advertising in search results — most often through Google Ads — so your ads appear when people search for what you sell. Advertisers bid on the keywords their buyers use and, on search campaigns, typically pay only when someone clicks.

How is SEM different from SEO?

SEO earns rankings in the organic results; SEM buys a place in the ads above and around them. SEO compounds over months, while SEM can put you in front of buyers the day a campaign goes live — and the search-term data it produces shows which keywords convert, which feeds straight back into your SEO strategy.

What we do

How we run your account

Hands-on Google Ads management, measured on the conversions that matter to your business.

Account structure & keywords

We build campaigns around how your buyers actually search — tight ad groups, the right match types, and keyword lists that map to what you sell.

Search terms & wasted spend

We review the search terms report continuously, adding negatives for queries that will never convert and promoting the ones that do.

Bidding & budgets

Smart Bidding set against the conversion goals that matter to your business, with budget moved toward the campaigns that earn it.

Ads & creative testing

Responsive search ads, assets, and landing-page messaging tested against each other, so every impression works harder.

Conversion tracking

GA4, enhanced conversions, and offline conversion imports for leads that close later — so bidding optimizes for revenue, not clicks.

Paid and organic, together

Google Ads search-term data shows which keywords convert; we feed it into your SEO strategy and shift spend away from queries you already win organically.

Goldbeater

The platform behind our Google Ads work — yours to use, too
