Concept & Strategy

Do the maths first, then run ads

We plan search campaigns before budget flows: which demand is actually being searched for, what a customer may be worth, where the ads land and how you will recognise success later.

What this is about

Search ads are quick to launch and just as quick to burn through. The decisions that determine success or failure are made beforehand: whether anyone is searching for your offering at all, what a new customer may cost and where the clicks lead.

Is there any demand?

With offerings that need explaining, often nobody searches for them. Then paid search is the wrong channel, and we say so before budget flows.

What may a customer cost?

Margin, conversion rate and customer value determine what a click may be worth. Without that calculation, every budget is a guess.

The landing page decides too

The best ad is useless if it lands on a home page. What gets clicked through to is part of the concept.

Clicks can be bought. Whether they pay off has to be calculated.

Situations that typically bring clients to us

What we actually do

Demand and keyword analysis

We check what the market is actually searching for and which volumes and prices to expect.

Profitability calculation

From customer value and conversion rate we derive what a click and an enquiry may cost.

Channel and budget planning

How much goes into search, shopping or other channels, and from what size the effort is worth it at all.

Plan the account structure

A structure built around your services and regions that stays analysable later instead of turning into an unmanageable account.

Landing page concept

We define which pages have to exist, what has to be on them and which step is expected of the visitor.

Define measurement

Which actions count as success and how they are recorded, so that any later analysis is possible at all.

How we work

  • 01

    Understand the offering

    What do you sell, to whom and at what margin? Without those numbers no budget can be justified.

  • 02

    Check the market

    Look at search volume, competition and prices, and give an honest assessment of what is achievable.

  • 03

    Calculate the concept

    Budget range, channel split and expected results are worked through and put in writing.

  • 04

    Hand over to delivery

    The concept goes into building the campaigns, either with us or with your existing agency.

At the end you know whether paid search adds up for you, before the first euro is spent. Tell us about your offering.

Frequently asked questions

Clicks can be bought. Whether they pay off has to be calculated before budget goes into ads.

What is a paid search strategy, as opposed to running ads day to day?

The strategy settles the questions that have to be answered before the first euro of budget: is anyone searching for your offering at all, what may a click and an enquiry cost, how is the account structured, which landing pages are needed and what counts as success. Running the ads is the work that follows. Clicks can be bought; whether they pay off has to be calculated first.

Is this only about Google Ads?

Google is usually the starting point, because that is where the search demand is. Depending on the offering, Shopping, Microsoft Advertising or channels outside search come into play when nobody actively searches for what you sell. That is exactly what we check first: for services that need a lot of explaining, paid search is often the wrong channel – and we say so before budget flows.

Is tracking part of the concept?

Yes, otherwise any later optimisation is guesswork. We define which actions count as success – a call, a form, a purchase, a booked appointment – and how they are recorded, including consent and data protection. That also covers the value of an enquiry, so campaigns can be steered by profitability rather than by cost per click.

Can you review an existing account?

Yes. We look at the structure, search terms, negative keywords, ad copy, bidding strategies and measurement, and show where money is being spent without effect. Often the problem is not in the account but on the landing page: the best ad is useless if it lands on a generic home page. You receive a prioritised list and an assessment of whether a rebuild is worth it.

Does Google Ads pay off for you?

Tell us about your offering and your margins. We will work out whether search ads are the right channel.
