Google Ads Management
Flat-fee Google Ads. No percentage-of-spend games.
We manage Google Ads for Alberta small businesses at a fixed monthly fee — so we're rewarded for making your budget work harder, not for making it bigger.
Why most small businesses give up on Google Ads
Sound familiar?
You've been burned by an agency before.
They took a big chunk of your budget, showed you a pretty report, and generated three tire-kicker leads a month. You're not doing that again.
You've tried Google Ads yourself.
You set up a campaign, spent $800 in a week on clicks that went nowhere, and shut it off. The platform is built to spend your money — not to help you spend it well.
You have no idea what's actually working.
No conversion tracking, no phone-call tracking, no visibility into which keyword or ad brought the last real customer through the door. It's a black box.
Percentage-of-spend feels like a scam.
Because it kind of is. When an agency's fee grows with your budget, guess what they'll always recommend? A bigger budget. We don't play that game.
What you get
Every dollar of ad spend actually working.
Campaign strategy & setup
We map out the campaigns, ad groups, and keywords that actually match how your customers search — not a generic template. Search, Performance Max, or Local Services Ads, based on what fits your business.
Ad copywriting & assets
Multiple ad variations per ad group, sitelinks, callouts, structured snippets, and images where they help. Written for your customer, not for a checklist.
Conversion tracking that actually works
Google Ads conversion tag installed on your site, tied to real events (form submits, phone calls, quote requests). No conversion tracking = no way to know what's working. We fix that from day one.
Negative keyword management
We watch your search terms report and add negative keywords weekly. That's how you stop wasting money on "cheap", "free", or "jobs" queries that will never buy from you.
Bid & budget optimization
We adjust bids based on what's converting, pause what isn't, and reallocate budget to the ad groups pulling their weight. No autopilot.
Monthly plain-English reporting
One page. What we spent, what it earned you, what we're changing next month, and why. If you want a 40-page dashboard nobody reads, hire somebody else.
How we're different
The way ads management should work.
Flat monthly fee.
You pay the same $349, $549, or $849 whether your ad spend is $500 or $5,000. We don't get a bigger check when you spend more — so we only recommend spending more when the numbers actually say so.
Your ad spend goes to Google, not us.
You pay Google directly for the clicks. We charge you a management fee. Two separate bills. Complete transparency on where every dollar goes.
You own the account. Always.
The Google Ads account is in your name, on your credit card, with your billing email. If you ever want to leave, you take everything with you — the history, the data, the conversions. Nothing is held hostage.
Month-to-month. No contracts.
Cancel with 10 days' notice. If we're not earning our fee, we don't deserve to keep it. Simple as that.

FAQ
Straight answers.
How much should I spend on Google Ads?
For most Alberta local businesses, $500–$1,500/month in ad spend is enough to generate real leads in a smaller market like Sylvan Lake, Red Deer, or Lacombe. Bigger cities (Calgary, Edmonton) or competitive industries (legal, insurance) need $1,500–$5,000+ to compete. We'll tell you honestly what your market needs before you commit a dime.
How is this different from percentage-of-spend agencies?
Most Canadian agencies charge 15–20% of your ad spend. So if you spend $5,000/month on Google, they take $750–$1,000 on top. That gives them an incentive to recommend bigger budgets whether it helps you or not. We charge a flat fee based on the work involved — not on how much money you're feeding Google.
Can I run ads myself?
You can. Google will happily accept your money and run through it fast. What most business owners don't have is the time to sit in the account weekly, manage negative keywords, adjust bids, and rewrite underperforming ads. That's what you're paying us for — the ongoing work, not the initial setup.
How long until I see results?
First conversions usually come in the first 1–2 weeks. Real optimization takes 60–90 days — that's how long it takes to gather enough data to know what's working, cut what isn't, and double down on what is. Anyone promising results faster is either lying or lucky.
Do you work with businesses outside Alberta?
Yes. We're based in Sylvan Lake but we manage Google Ads accounts for clients across Canada. Google Ads doesn't care where your agency sits — only where your customers are.
