Paid Search in Columbus, Ohio
Columbus is small enough that getting found locally still moves real revenue, and big enough that the competition is sharper than it was five years ago. Our Paid Search programs are designed for that exact middle ground.
What our Paid Search program covers in Columbus
We run paid search programs the way performance teams at much larger companies run them: server-side conversion tracking, value-based bidding, and weekly experiment cadences. Most Columbus businesses we audit are leaking 20-40% of spend on broad-match queries that never convert. Our first job is to plug that leak.
- Account audit and historical-spend efficiency review
- Server-side conversion tracking via the Google Ads API
- Value-based bidding using actual order/booking value
- Local service ads (LSA) setup and management
- Geo-fenced campaigns around your service radius
- Negative keyword grooming on a weekly cadence

Frequently asked questions about Paid Search in Columbus
Can you take over an existing Google Ads account?
Yes. We migrate into your existing MCC, preserve your historical conversion data, and run a 14-day audit before changing structure. You retain ownership of the account either way.
Do you do Local Service Ads in Columbus?
Yes — LSAs are usually the first lever we pull for home services, legal, and medical clients in the Columbus area. They sit above traditional search ads and are billed per qualified lead.
How do you measure success on paid search?
Cost per qualified lead, cost per booked appointment, and return on ad spend tied to actual revenue — pulled from your CRM or POS, not just Google's conversion modeling.
Will you share search-term reports with us?
Every report includes the actual search queries that triggered your ads, what they cost, and which converted. No black box.
What size Columbus businesses do you typically work with?
Most of our Columbus-area clients are between $1M and $50M in annual revenue. Below that the math on a real agency engagement rarely works — we're happy to point you toward better options at smaller scales. Above $50M we've worked with multi-location and publicly traded brands too.
