Position One, strategic marketing and consulting

SEO & search advertising

Google Ads: pay for the clicks that call, skip the ones that browse.

We build and run Google Ads, Local Services Ads and Microsoft Advertising, with the account structure, ads and landing pages planned together. Every call, form and sale is tracked back to the keyword that produced it.

What is included.

  • Account structure planning based on your services and customer intent.
  • Keyword research, ad copy, and landing-page alignment.
  • Local Services Ads setup and verification, for eligible businesses.
  • Microsoft Advertising management.
  • Bid strategy, budget pacing, and negative-keyword review.
  • Conversion tracking so results can be assessed against cost.
  • Reporting on spend, tracked actions and results.

What to expect

From first call to steady improvement.

Six steps, in this order, every time.

  1. 01

    Define your target audience

    We start with who actually buys from you — location, age, income, interests, intent and past customers — and build audiences that match, so budget isn't spent on people who will never convert.

  2. 02

    Build messaging and creative

    We write the offer and headlines and produce the images and video for each platform, with several versions ready so we can learn which angle wins.

  3. 03

    Set up conversion tracking

    Before a dollar is spent we install and test tracking for calls, forms, bookings and sales, so every result can be traced to the ad, keyword and audience that produced it.

  4. 04

    Launch your campaigns

    Campaigns go live on the channels agreed in your plan, with budgets, schedules and locations set. The first weeks are a learning phase while the platforms gather data.

  5. 05

    Optimize and refine based on data

    We cut audiences, keywords and placements that waste money and move budget toward what brings in leads and sales, based on real tracked results — not guesses.

  6. 06

    Keep testing creative and following trends

    Ads wear out. We keep testing new creative, offers and formats, watch platform changes and seasonal trends, and report what we changed and why.

Search advertising

Bid × Quality Score = Ad Rank.

Why the highest bid does not win the top slot

Search engines rank ads on bid multiplied by how relevant and useful the ad and landing page are. Raise relevance and the same budget buys a better position at a lower cost per click.

Bid × Quality Score = Ad Rank
Advertiser A$6.00 bid · Quality Score 4/10
Ad Rank 24
Position 2Pays more per click
Advertiser B (built the P1 way)$4.00 bid · Quality Score 9/10
Ad Rank 36
Position 1Pays less per click

Questions

Questions about paid search & local services ads

What is Quality Score?

It is Google's diagnostic rating for aspects of search-ad quality. We use it to identify potential improvements; the score itself does not determine your auction position or guarantee a lower price.

Do Local Services Ads work for our business?

Eligibility and results depend on your industry, service area, and profile verification. We assess suitability before including it in the plan.

Who controls the advertising accounts?

Account access, billing, and ownership are documented before work begins. We work in client-controlled accounts where the platform supports that arrangement.
