FAQs
How much ad spend do we need in Austin to produce steady leads?
Many Austin accounts perform well in the $1,500 to $5,000 per month ad-spend range, then scale what proves out.
- Smaller budgets: run a 2 to 4 week pilot focused on one service, a short keyword list, and exact/phrase match to gather reliable signal.
- Expect useful signal in weeks 1 to 2, steadier Cost Per Lead (CPL) by weeks 3 to 6.
- Management fees are separate, pacing is transparent in-platform.
Google Ads, Meta, LinkedIn, or YouTube, which should an Austin company start with?
Begin where buyer intent is strongest, then add channels after you see a winner.
- Google Search: text ads that show when people actively search for your service. You pay per click, and leads are often faster because intent is high. Great for “near me,” comparison, and urgent keywords around Austin.
- Performance Max: a Google campaign that spans Search, YouTube, Maps, Gmail, and Display with automation. Use it after conversion tracking is clean and you have solid images and copy so the system can find more conversions.
- Meta (Facebook/Instagram): efficient demand gen and retargeting with strong creative.
- LinkedIn: precise B2B audiences for business leads, expect a higher Cost Per Lead (CPL).
- YouTube: best when you have strong video and want reach plus retargeting.
How do you cut wasted spend and lower Cost Per Lead (CPL) in Austin campaigns? A: Control intent tightly and prune quickly.
- Use match types, negative keywords, geo targets, ad schedule, and device to shape traffic.
- Shift budget to proven terms and audiences, pause weak segments fast.
- Match ad promise to landing page to lift conversion rate and quality.
Should we keep pay-per-click (PPC) in-house or hire an Austin marketing agency?
DIY can work if you watch search terms daily and edit weekly. An agency helps your dollar go further so you see stronger ROI.
- We tune bids, audiences, negative keywords, and creative weekly to lower Cost Per Lead (CPL) and increase qualified lead volume.
- We align ads with landing pages to improve conversion rate and Google Ads Quality Score, and we show every change in-platform.
What does the first 30 days of paid ads look like for an Austin company?
Week 1 launch and verify, Weeks 2–3 test and refine, Week 4 scale winners and pause losers.
- Read early lead quality and adjust bids, audiences, and creative.
- Competitor and keyword research: review Auction Insights, mine search terms, study competitor ads and landing pages, then build a keyword and negative-keyword plan before scaling.
- Month-two plan tied to Cost Per Lead (CPL) and lead-volume goals.
Our Google Ads get clicks but few leads in Austin, what do you change first?
We fix the four common blockers in order: intent, page fit, speed, tracking.
- Search terms: add negative keywords to remove off-target queries.
- Page fit: align headline, offer, proof, and form with the ad group.
- Speed: improve mobile Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) to keep visitors.
- Tracking: verify Google Analytics 4 (GA4) key events and Google Ads conversions so wins are captured.
- Quality signals matter: Google weighs expected CTR, ad relevance, and landing page experience (see Google Ads Help: source).
How can we tell if paid ads are paying off?
Cross-check platform conversions with Google Analytics 4 (GA4) and your Customer Relationship Management (CRM).
- Use UTM parameters on every campaign and confirm conversions in GA4 over 30 to 60 days.
- Watch trends for Cost Per Lead (CPL), qualified calls, and contact form submissions.
- Setup reference: Import GA4 key events into Google Ads (Google Help: link).
- Want a quick audit, contact us for a free paid ads audit and quote.
Do we really need dedicated paid ads landing pages, or can we send traffic to our homepage?
Focused landing pages usually convert better because they reinforce the ad promise and reduce distractions.
- If you must start on the homepage, we optimize it first, then add focused pages once data supports it.
- Better fit improves conversion rate and can lower Cost Per Lead (CPL).
- Google evaluates landing page experience as part of ad quality (see Google Ads Help: reference).
