Mindful Google Ads management for Austin businesses that are tired of guessing.
Boutique PPC strategy built around your actual goals — not a templated dashboard. We treat your ad budget like it's our own, because the best marketing lives where data meets instinct.
Most Austin businesses aren't failing at Google Ads. They're being failed by it.
If you've run Google Ads in Austin before and walked away feeling burned, you're not alone. The platform is intentionally complex — and Google's automated defaults often work against you.
Budgets vanish into broad-match keywords
You're paying for clicks on searches that have nothing to do with your service. Google calls it "expanding reach." We call it leaking money.
Big agencies set it and forget it
You signed up for "Google Ads management" and got an automated campaign with quarterly reports. A junior account manager logs in once a month. The bill arrives weekly.
No one talks about quality of leads
Lead volume looks great in the dashboard, but your phone is ringing with the wrong people. Nobody's connecting the dots between clicks and actual customers.
A different rhythm. Slower at first. Sharper over time.
We don't believe in launching fast just to look busy. The first weeks together are about listening, learning your business, and building a campaign that has a real chance of working.
Discovery & strategy call
We start with your business — your customers, your margins, your seasonality, what's worked before. Then we map what success actually looks like.
Account build or audit
If you have an existing account, we audit it line by line and salvage what's working. If not, we build from scratch — campaigns, ad groups, keywords, negatives, landing page recommendations.
Tracking that tells the truth
We set up real conversion tracking — phone calls, form submissions, key events — so we measure actual leads, not just clicks. Then we tie it back to revenue when we can.
Weekly optimization
We're in your account several times a week — adjusting bids, adding negative keywords, refining ad copy, watching the search terms report. This is where most agencies disappear.
Honest, plain-English reporting
Monthly reports without the jargon. What worked, what didn't, what we're changing. You'll know exactly where your money went and why.
Jamie was quick to respond, did the audit fast, and gave a bunch of helpful tips for improving the campaign. Since implementing them, I've seen a real uptick in performance.Verified client review Austin-area service business · Google Ads audit

We know this market because we live and work here.
Austin is competitive, fast-moving, and unlike any other Texas market. Service businesses here compete with national chains, sophisticated DTC brands, and a sea of small competitors all bidding on the same local keywords. Generic playbooks don't work.
We've managed Google Ads for Austin businesses across home services, therapy, education, hospitality, and retail. We know what CPCs look like by zip code, which neighborhoods convert, and how seasonality moves around SXSW, ACL, and football season.

Before you pick up the phone
How much should an Austin business spend on Google Ads?
For most Austin service businesses, we recommend starting with a media budget of $1,500 to $5,000 per month, depending on your industry's average cost-per-click and how competitive your local keywords are. Trades like plumbing or HVAC sit at the higher end; niche service businesses often start lower. We help you size the budget to your goals, not the other way around.
How long until I see results from Google Ads?
Leads can start coming in within the first week, but the first 30 to 60 days are the real learning period. That's when Google's bidding algorithms gather conversion data and we refine the campaign based on actual search behavior. Most clients see meaningful efficiency gains by month two or three.
Do you require long-term contracts?
No. We work month-to-month. We believe in earning your business each month — not locking you into something you can't leave. If we're not driving results, you shouldn't be stuck.
Who owns the Google Ads account?
You do. Always. We build or manage your account, but it stays under your ownership. If we ever part ways, you keep all the campaign data, history, and learnings. This is non-negotiable.
Do you offer one-time audits?
Yes. If you have an existing account and just want a fresh set of eyes, we offer standalone audits with prioritized, actionable recommendations. It's often the right first step if you're not sure whether your current setup is salvageable.
Do you serve businesses outside of Austin?
Yes. While we're based in Austin and specialize in Central Texas, we manage Google Ads for clients across the country including Minneapolis, Washington DC, and beyond. Austin is our home, but our work travels.
