// READ THIS FIRST
The useful part of a guide is what you can actually apply. The recommendations below focus on decisions, trade-offs and practical execution—not promises of guaranteed rankings, leads or returns.
// 01 — EXPECTATIONS
What expertise should include
A competent PPC partner should explain why campaigns are structured a certain way, what search terms matter, how conversions are defined and what would cause spend to increase or decrease.
Account control architecture
// 02 — STRUCTURE
Account structure
Structure should follow meaningful differences in intent, offer, geography or economics. More campaigns do not automatically mean more control.
// 03 — INTENT
Keyword and search-term work
Review actual queries, not only keywords entered into the account. Add useful negatives, investigate unexpected demand and align ads with customer language.
// 04 — MEASUREMENT
Conversion tracking
Calls, forms, purchases and qualified enquiries should be defined before judging performance. If tracking is unreliable, an impressive dashboard can still produce poor decisions.
Search-term control loop
// 05 — LANDING PAGES
Landing-page experience
Message match, speed, trust signals, clear offers and an obvious next step all matter after the click.
// 06 — REPORTING
Reporting and decisions
A useful report explains what changed, what was learned, where money moved and what will be tested next. Look beyond CTR and ROAS when lead quality varies.
