What does UPLIFY include in Google Search Ads management?

UPLIFY manages Google Search Ads for service businesses and B2B: demand research, campaign structure, form and call measurement, and—when suitable CRM data is available—qualified-lead signals. Nestor drafts findings and recommendations, while a senior specialist validates decisions. Management starts at $600 per month.

Google Search Ads for inquiries, calls,
and B2B demand.

We work with demand at the moment of search—from query structure and RSA copy to form, call, and lead-quality measurement. Nestor assembles signals and drafts recommendations, while a senior specialist validates decisions. Source coverage and update frequency depend on project configuration.

Search or PMax? an honest boundary.

Both are Google Ads, but they solve different problems. Search is not “simpler” than PMax — for lead generation it actually requires more control over queries and more precise measurement. The right choice depends on the business model and how results are measured.

● this page · Search

Search Ads — for leads

  • services, B2B, local business, high-value services
  • goal — leads / inquiries (form-fills) / calls (not SKUs)
  • works around queries and intent
  • control over queries, copy, geo, schedule
  • lead quality via offline conversions
other page · Shopping / PMax

Shopping Ads — for e-commerce

  • online stores with a product catalog
  • goal — sales and ROAS by SKU
  • works around the feed and product listings
  • Merchant Center, asset groups, PMax
  • optimization by product cost and margin

/ 02 · the difference

a campaign is only one layer
of a lead-generation system.

Results depend on more than ads. They require sound measurement, a clear structure, lead-quality signals, regular search-query review, and accountable specialist decisions.

/ 03 · how we work with your account

project data in
one working context.

UPLIFY OS collects only the sources agreed for the project. Data coverage, update frequency, and access depend on the package, integrations, and the technical readiness of the client's systems.

01 · system

Connected sources and business metrics

Google Ads, GA4, Search Console, CRM, call tracking, and other sources are connected when relevant and available—without promising the same stack for every project.

  • update frequency depends on the source
  • alerts with evidence and a next step
  • access and measurement checks
  • forms, calls, and CRM stages in one context
02 · dashboard

Client portal with agreed access

The portal shows available metrics and explanations of changes. Widgets and detail depend on the package and the sources actually connected.

  • core KPIs and cost per lead
  • forms, calls, geography, and devices where data exists
  • GA4, Search Console, and Clarity when connected
  • regular reporting and team commentary
03 · AI + Nestor

AI prepares; people decide

Nestor helps flag deviations and draft actions. A manager checks context, risk, and relevance before any material change.

  • draft negative keywords from irrelevant queries
  • change analysis with date and context
  • prioritized action plan
  • RSA checks for length, duplication, and topic coverage

/ 04 · what we do in campaigns

operational depth of Search.

Specific things we keep under control every week — so the budget goes to target queries, not noise.

01

Intent Research

Real queries (Keyword Planner + SerpApi), segmented by intent: “buy now” → “comparing options” → informational noise.

02

Account Structure

Campaigns by service × intent × geo. Logical ad groups, clean URLs, no “catch-all” campaigns draining the budget.

03

Match Types

We combine exact, phrase, and broad match only where demand, data, and bidding strategy support the choice. Broad match is not an automatic default for every account.

04

Negative Keywords

We build negative-keyword lists and review search terms each week to reduce irrelevant traffic.

05

RSA Copy + Tests

Headlines and descriptions grounded in your real differentiators — no hollow “best #1” claims. We test, not guess.

06

Extensions (assets)

We add sitelinks, callouts, prices, lead forms, and call extensions to make ads more informative in search results.

07

Geography · Devices · Time

We analyze results by region, device, and time. Available controls and their effects depend on campaign type and bidding strategy.

08

Bidding Strategy

We choose a strategy from the business goal, measurement quality, conversion volume, and conversion lag. There is no fixed path from manual bidding to target CPA.

09

Brand · Competitors

Brand query protection and — where needed — careful competitor targeting with accurate, compliant copy.

/ 05 · measurement & lead quality

measurement shows
which leads are useful.

Before scaling, we verify that forms, calls, and CRM stages are captured consistently. Even a sound setup has attribution, consent, and data-completeness limits.

A

Tracking for the main sources of leads

  • conversions from forms + call tracking
  • primary / secondary conversions — Smart Bidding on the right signal
  • split of form vs call in reports
  • basic spam lead filtering
B

CRM signals for lead quality

When CRM data is suitable and there is a lawful basis for sharing it, we configure Enhanced Conversions for Leads or another current supported method in Google Ads Data Manager. Optimization quality depends on complete, timely, and accurate stages.

  • agreed qualified-lead and converted-lead events
  • identifiers and fields that meet Google's requirements
  • diagnostics review after launch
  • conversion lag included in evaluation
/ 06 · packages

three packages by operating scope and channel mix.

Launch covers one market and up to 2 Search campaigns. Growth covers a more complex structure, CRM and up to 5 campaigns. Omni combines Google and Meta management. Spend affects the fee calculation but does not replace a defined operating scope.

  • 1 Google Ads + 1 Meta Ads account in 1 market
  • Up to 8 active campaigns across both channels
  • Shared plan for measurement, budgets and result evaluation

  • 4-6 creative ideas or briefs with ad-copy options per month; production is separate
  • Weekly review, strategy every two weeks and a concise report for management
  • $1,500/month or 12% of combined spend, whichever is greater
Choose «Omni: Google + Meta»
How the management fee is calculated

Launch: a fixed $600/month. Growth: the greater of $800/month or 15% of actual media spend. Omni: the greater of $1,500/month or 12% of combined Google and Meta spend. The percentage exceeds the minimum above $5,333/month for Growth and $12,500/month for Omni.

Media spend, taxes and third-party subscriptions are billed separately. The client provides the accounts, access and active subscriptions. UPLIFY handles every setup, integration and management task listed in the package. The client retains ownership of all accounts and data.

A standalone read-only senior audit costs $300. If management starts after the audit, we credit the fee toward the first month.

/ 09 · honest about limits

what is NOT included in the service.

We don't try to bundle everything. Here's what we consciously exclude — and why.

Shopping Ads

Google Shopping, PMax, Merchant Center, feed — a separate service → Google Shopping + PMax.

Website & landing page development

A weak landing page limits any campaign; we give recommendations, but development itself is discussed separately.

CRM implementation & sales scripts

We work with your CRM as a data source, but we don't build it or train your sales team.

Lead volume guarantees

Markets and demand shift; we do not promise a fixed lead volume; we agree on the process and measurement approach up front.

Optimization without measurement

Without proper call/conversion tracking we won't “run ads blind.”

/ 10 · methodology

data → structure →
launch → lead quality.

01
foundation

Data and measurement

We assess search demand, forms, and calls. If the CRM is ready, we choose an appropriate current method for sending lead stages to Google Ads.

02
architecture

Intent and structure

We group queries by intent, service, and geography and prepare RSA copy and an initial negative-keyword list.

03
launch

Controlled launch

We start with manageable coverage and choose bidding from the available signals, not from a universal sequence.

04
optimization

Quality, not volume alone

We compare search queries, cost, and CRM feedback. Review cadence depends on the package and available data volume.

$ No change is applied automatically. Nestor AI prepares — the manager reviews, and you always have the final say. Every action has a limit, a check, a log, and a rollback.
/ 11 · glossary

key terms.

Search Intent
The purpose behind a query: “buy now,” “comparing options,” or “just browsing.” Determines which queries are worth paying for.
RSA
Responsive Search Ad — an adaptive ad: Google combines your headlines and descriptions to match the query.
Negative Keywords
Words that prevent your ad from showing. They filter out irrelevant impressions and save budget.
CPL
Cost Per Lead — the cost of one lead. The primary lead generation metric, alongside qualified CPL.
Qualified Lead
A lead that passed the sales team's filter and has a real chance of becoming a client. Not every form-fill is a lead.
Enhanced Conversions for Leads
Google's supported way to supplement measurement with first-party lead data. Implementation, consent, fields, and delivery method must follow current Google Ads requirements.
Search Term
The actual query that triggered your ad. The source of new negative keywords.
Call Tracking
Tracking calls as conversions — critical for service businesses where a call is the primary channel.
Dayparting
Bid adjustments by time of day and day of week — toward when leads are cheaper and higher quality.
Conversion Lag
The time between an ad interaction and a later inquiry or sale. The evaluation window should cover the actual lag for that business; there is no universal duration.

search advertising in depth.

01Which is better: Search or Performance Max?

It depends on the task. Search provides more direct control over queries, copy, locations, and schedules. Performance Max works across broader Google inventory. The decision should follow the business model, demand, measurement, and test plan.

02How is UPLIFY's approach different from standard management?

We connect campaigns with form and call measurement, available CRM stages, and UPLIFY OS reporting. Nestor drafts findings, while a senior specialist validates decisions and records changes.

03What budget is needed for Google Search Ads?

There is no universal minimum. We estimate a working budget from click costs, relevant demand, geography, conversion lag, and the number of conversions needed. The client pays media spend directly to Google.

04Do you work with existing accounts or only new ones?

Both. For an existing account, we usually start with a $300 read-only audit and credit the fee toward the first month if management continues. For a new account, we build around the services, locations, and search demand.

05Can you improve lead quality as well as volume?

We can optimize toward more useful signals when the business records lead stages consistently. For suitable data, we configure a Google-supported qualified-lead or converted-lead flow; results depend on data quality and sufficient signal volume.

06Do you set up call tracking?

Yes, when calls are a meaningful lead source. We configure measurement and report forms and calls separately; any third-party subscription is billed separately.

07What if search demand is too low?

We review queries and available-traffic forecasts before launch. If volume is too limited for a meaningful test, we explain the constraint and recommend another channel or preparation stage.

08How long does it take to evaluate results?

Launch timing depends on access, site readiness, and measurement. We evaluate results after accounting for conversion lag and collecting a sufficient sample; a fixed timeline without context would be misleading.

09Who approves account changes?

The accountable specialist validates strategy and material decisions. Nestor drafts findings and recommendations but is not the sole basis for a budget or structure change.

10What do the AI workflows do in practice?

They help find irrelevant queries, draft negative keywords, review RSA copy, flag deviations, and prepare action plans. The team checks the evidence and decides what to apply.

11What access does the client get in the portal?

Data coverage depends on the package and connected sources. The portal can show core KPIs, cost per lead, GA4, Search Console, Clarity, and change explanations only where those integrations are available and configured.

12What if our landing pages are weak?

We identify where a page does not match the query or creates conversion friction and provide prioritized recommendations. Development and a full redesign are scoped separately.
