Why buyers trust the page
Clear scope before more spend.
Stan Consulting links via Google Ads MCC at user level. The operator owns the account, the data, and the history. No agency-owned access; no lock-in.
Asset groups segmented by margin tier and category, not single-group catalog-wide. Brand exclusion at the campaign level. Audience signals distinct.
Monthly review names bank-account vs platform-reported variance. Decisions documented. Wins counted against revenue, not impressions.
Questions before contact
What buyers usually need to know.
Who is Google Ads Management for?
It is for companies that need Google Ads to produce calls, quote requests, purchases, or booked work. If there is no live offer, page, campaign, store, or decision yet, start with the contact form so the route can be scoped correctly.
What do we get?
You get search intent structure, budget control, landing path match, owner reporting, plus the next step that should happen first.
How much does it cost?
From $2,500/month is the visible starting point or pricing band for this service. Variable work is priced after the asset, account, timeline, and owner involvement are clear.
How fast can this start?
Managed or sprint. Response comes through the quote request path after the context is submitted.
Do we need a call first?
Not as the first move. Submit the situation first so the conversation starts with the real page, campaign, store, or decision instead of a blank sales call.
What if we already have an agency or internal team?
That is common. The work can review the current setup, direct the internal team, or define what the outside vendor should fix first.
Do you offer a free audit first?
Yes. The free 5-day Google Ads audit is the entry; the $999 Conversion Second Opinion is the deeper paid read for cross-platform questions.
Account access?
MCC link at user level, not admin. The operator owns the account and can revoke access at any time.
PMax or Search-only?
Depends on catalog and category. Most accounts run both, separated. Catalog-driven retail typically benefits from PMax; lead-gen often benefits from Search-only with structured landing paths.
Minimum spend?
Around $15K monthly for reliable Smart Bidding signal. Below that, work shifts to Search-only with manual or Maximize Clicks.
How is this different from /services/google-ads-ppc-management?
Same engagement, two routes. /platforms/google-ads is the platform-first entry; /services/google-ads-ppc-management is the service-first entry. Same scope, same pricing, same operator.
