Acquisition/Google Ads

Google Ads that
buy customers, not clicks.

Search, Shopping, and Performance Max managed around one number: what each new customer costs versus what they're worth. A37 runs your Google account like a P&L line, not a dashboard.

Google is spending your budget. Is it buying you customers?

Performance Max hides where the money goes. Smart Bidding chases conversions your CRM never sees. Broad match quietly widens until you're paying premium CPCs for searches that were never going to buy. Most D2C brands don't have a Google problem — they have a Google-on-autopilot problem.

Google's defaults optimise for Google's revenue. Left alone, they spend into brand terms you'd win for free, lump prospecting and retargeting into one untraceable campaign, and report a ROAS that double-counts customers your email already had.

A37 takes the account back to first principles: clean conversion tracking, campaigns split by intent, PMax fenced so it can't cannibalise brand or Shopping, and every decision measured against contribution margin — not the number Google wants you to celebrate.

What we manage, every month.

Account Strategy

  • Full account audit (month 1): structure, tracking, wasted spend, brand-term leakage
  • Campaign architecture split by intent: brand, non-brand, Shopping, PMax, remarketing
  • Budget allocation tied to your CAC and target ROAS, not platform-reported ROAS
  • Profitable-growth roadmap: where to scale, where to cap, where to cut

Search

  • High-intent buyer keyword build with tight ad-group themes
  • Negative keyword sculpting and search-term mining every week
  • Responsive search ads tested against message and offer, not just headlines
  • Brand defence without brand-tax: bid only where competitors actually show

Shopping & Performance Max

  • Merchant Center feed audit and optimisation (titles, GTINs, disapprovals)
  • Shopping campaign structure by margin and best-seller priority
  • PMax fenced with brand exclusions and asset-group segmentation
  • Listing and price-competitiveness monitoring

YouTube & Demand Gen

  • Video prospecting for brands ready to grow beyond bottom-funnel search
  • Creative briefs for hook-first YouTube ads (you supply footage)
  • Demand Gen retargeting across YouTube, Discover, and Gmail

Tracking & Attribution

  • Google Ads + GA4 + Google Tag Manager setup and QA
  • Enhanced Conversions and server-side tagging where it moves the needle
  • Conversion values that reflect margin, so Smart Bidding optimises for profit

Reporting

  • Weekly spend, CAC, and blended-ROAS dashboard
  • Monthly report with next-month plan and an honest read on what the data proves
  • Search-term and PMax insight reviews: where new money is actually going

Reported ROAS lies.
Margin doesn't.

Google reports the ROAS that makes Google look good — crediting itself for customers your brand, email, or SEO already won. We feed real margin into conversion values and judge every campaign on blended contribution, so the account optimises for the profit that hits your bank, not the number on the dashboard.

Three things we watch that autopilot accounts miss:

  1. 01

    Brand-term tax

    How much you're paying Google for clicks you'd have won organically anyway.

  2. 02

    PMax cannibalisation

    Whether Performance Max is finding new demand or reselling your existing customers.

  3. 03

    Search-term drift

    Where broad match and Smart Bidding are quietly widening into unprofitable queries.

How we take over a Google account.

01

Week 1

Audit & tracking foundation

Account structure, historical spend, Merchant Center health, and conversion tracking verified end to end. We don't scale spend on numbers we can't trust.

02

Week 2

Rebuild by intent

Campaigns split into brand, non-brand, Shopping, PMax, and remarketing, with PMax fenced so it can't quietly eat your cheapest conversions.

03

Week 2–4

Feed & creative sprints

Merchant Center feed cleaned and prioritised by margin; responsive search and video assets briefed and launched in structured tests.

04

Weekly

Optimise on margin

Search-term mining, negative sculpting, and bid shifts reviewed against contribution margin. Winners scale, wasted spend dies fast.

05

Monthly

Report & re-plan

Blended CAC and ROAS review, next month's test plan, and a straight answer on what Google's data does and doesn't prove.

Is this the right fit?

  • You're spending ₹1L+ per month on Google and ROAS has plateaued
  • Performance Max is a black box you can't see inside
  • You sell on Shopify, WooCommerce, or Magento with a real catalogue
  • You want a team that owns the outcome, not just the media buying
  • Not the right fit if you haven't validated demand and are spending under ₹50,000/month — Google Ads needs a baseline of search volume and conversion data to optimise against.

Google Ads managed to margin, not Google's ROAS

Why most Google accounts quietly leak money

Google's defaults optimise for Google's revenue. Performance Max spends into customers your brand and email already owned, Smart Bidding chases conversions your margin never justified, and broad match widens until you're paying premium CPCs for searches that were never going to buy. A37 manages Google Ads the way an operator manages a P&L line: campaigns split by intent, PMax fenced so it can't cannibalise brand or Shopping, and every decision judged on contribution margin. It's the Google half of the performance marketing system, run by people who've owned the profitability number.

Google is the highest-intent channel in acquisition — people are searching for what you sell right now — which is exactly why running it on autopilot is so expensive. The account gets taken back to first principles: clean tracking, intent-split campaigns, and conversion values that reflect real margin so the algorithm optimises for profit instead of vanity ROAS.

Search, Shopping, and Performance Max under control

Engagements cover the full Google surface: Search built on high-intent buyer keywords with weekly search-term mining, Shopping structured by margin off a clean Merchant Center feed, Performance Max fenced with brand exclusions and asset-group segmentation, and YouTube or Demand Gen for brands ready to grow beyond bottom-funnel search. Tracking gets the unglamorous discipline it needs — GA4, server-side tagging, and Enhanced Conversions — so budget moves toward what actually produces orders.

Paid clicks only pay back if the destination converts: pair Google Ads with UI/UX optimization to lift the conversion rate every click lands on, feed high-intent search demand into SEO so you stop renting clicks you could own, or run the whole system under the Managed plan. Either way, start with the 15-day free trial and get your Google account audited first.

Reporting you can take to a board

Monthly reports are built to survive scrutiny: spend, blended CAC, and contribution by campaign; the brand-term tax you're paying for clicks you'd win organically; and an honest read on whether Performance Max is finding new demand or reselling customers retention already owns. If a founder forwards the report to an investor unedited, it should raise confidence, not questions.

That standard exists because Google-reported ROAS eventually collapses into a hard conversation — usually mid-scale, when it's most expensive. Starting from margin truth keeps the scaling decisions boring, which is exactly what you want them to be.

Frequently asked questions

How is this different from your performance marketing service?

Performance marketing runs your full paid mix across Meta and Google together. This page is the Google-specialist engagement — Search, Shopping, Performance Max, and YouTube — for brands whose growth lever is Google specifically. Most brands run both under one team.

Do you manage Performance Max campaigns?

Yes, but fenced — brand exclusions and asset-group segmentation so PMax can't quietly cannibalise your cheapest brand and Shopping conversions and take credit for them. Run on defaults, PMax flatters its own numbers; that's the first thing we fix.

Is ad spend included in the fee?

No. Ad spend is billed directly by Google to your own account, which you always own. Our flat fee covers strategy, feed and campaign build, management, and reporting — we never mark up your spend.

Do you optimise for ROAS?

We report Google's ROAS but optimise for contribution margin — revenue after discounts, returns, fees, and shipping. Google credits itself for customers your email and brand already had; margin is the only number that proves the ads actually made money.

What minimum Google Ads budget do I need?

Enough search volume and conversion data for Smart Bidding to learn — typically ₹1L+/month in India or AED 5K+/month in the GCC. Below that we'll usually recommend fixing conversion or feed quality first, honestly.

How quickly can campaigns go live?

The account audit and Merchant Center review land during your 15-day trial; rebuilt campaign structures typically go live within the first two weeks of a paid engagement, faster if your conversion tracking and feed are already healthy.
