Get a QuoteWhat do we deliver in Google Ads management?
Google Ads management delivers Search, Performance Max, Shopping and YouTube campaigns, an account audit and a conversion report. Which of these you need depends on the account's current state and your goal.
Search campaigns
We prepare keywords with purchase intent, negative lists and ad copy. All three components of Quality Score are improved together.
Performance Max
Asset groups and audience signals are split by your product categories and profitability. A Performance Max campaign reaches multiple inventories with a single budget.
Shopping campaigns
For e-commerce brands, we clean up the Google Merchant Center product feed and set up Shopping campaigns.
YouTube ad campaigns
Audience, format and budget are set by objective. Viewers are added to remarketing lists.
Account audit
We review campaign structure, keywords, bidding and measurement. Findings are reported in order of priority.
Conversion tracking and reporting
Form submissions, calls and purchases are defined in Google Ads and GA4. The report covers spend, conversions, changes made and next steps.
What job does each Google Ads campaign type do?
Search captures existing demand, Performance Max offers automation across inventories, Shopping shows up in product searches and YouTube nurtures demand that has not formed yet.
| Search | Performance Max | Shopping | YouTube | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Type of demand | A product or service people are searching for | Demand across all of Google's inventory | Product searches | Demand that is not yet searched for, and awareness |
| Level of control | Direct control over keywords and copy | Automation-led, steered through signals and asset groups | Control through product groups and the feed | Control through format, audience and bid strategy |
| Required assets | Keywords and ad copy | Text, image and video assets, plus a product feed if available | A Merchant Center product feed | Video creative |
| Goal measured | Conversions and cost per conversion | Conversions or conversion value | Sales and ROAS | Views, reach or conversions |
| Official source | Quality Score | Performance Max campaigns | Shopping ads | Video ad formats |
What do we check when taking over an existing Google Ads account?
A takeover starts by confirming who owns the account and what it counts as a conversion, before any campaign work. Optimization done without these checks can rest on bad data.
- In whose name the account was opened and which manager account it sits under
- Whether the billing profile belongs to the business
- Which conversion actions feed the bid strategy and whether any are double counted
- Whether auto-tagging is on, plus the Google Analytics and Merchant Center links
- Major recent edits in the change history
- Negative keyword lists and brand exclusions
What do we look for in a Merchant Center feed?
Shopping and Performance Max product ads depend on accurate product data. The feed is checked against the Merchant Center product data specification.
- Title and description
- These determine which search queries the product matches. Brand, model and the distinguishing feature belong in the title.
- Product identifiers
- Fields such as GTIN, brand and MPN must be correct and consistent.
- Price and availability
- Price and stock in the feed must match the product page on the site.
- Images
- Product images must not carry promotional text or watermarks.
- Warnings and disapprovals
- Disapproved products and warnings are listed with their causes, and products with a high share of sales are fixed first.

- E-commerce sites selling products through Shopping and Performance Max

Questions to ask when choosing a Google Ads agency
What does a Google Ads agency do?
A Google Ads agency takes on the structure, day-to-day management and measurement of your Google Ads account. The invisible part of the job is routine checks.
The agency reads the search terms report, adds irrelevant queries as negative keywords, checks whether close variants drift from search intent and shifts budget to the campaigns that bring conversions. Google Ads management looks at campaigns in relation to each other, not one by one.
Digitruva ties bidding decisions to verified conversions, and every report records spend, conversions, the changes made and the next step. The account can run on its own, but when it is brought under digital ad management, budget decisions are made together with the other paid channels.
How much does Google advertising cost?
There is no fixed price for advertising on Google. The advertiser sets the budget, and the cost per click is determined in an auction that runs for every search.
The main factors that set the amount are industry competition, the chosen keywords, the targeted location, the campaign type and ad quality. The highest bid does not always win the auction, because Ad Rank weighs the quality of the ad and the landing page along with the bid.
The daily budget is an average. Spend can exceed it on some days, while the monthly charging limit is still respected. The ad budget and the agency's service fee are separate line items. The service fee depends on the number of campaigns, the complexity of the account and measurement needs.
What is Quality Score, and how does it affect ad costs?
Quality Score is a diagnostic tool that Google Ads shows at the keyword level on a scale of 1 to 10. It estimates how relevant your ad and landing page are compared with other advertisers showing up for the same searches.
Google states clearly that this score is not an input in the auction. That is why the score itself should not be the goal. The impact comes from the quality the score measures.
Because Ad Rank weighs the bid along with ad and landing page quality, high-quality ads can earn a better position at a lower price. The score's components show where the problem lies. If landing page experience is below average, the fix is not in the ad copy but in landing page optimization.
Should you choose Performance Max or a Search campaign?
You often do not have to choose, because the two are not rivals and do different jobs. A Search campaign gives direct control over keywords and ad copy. Performance Max reaches Search, YouTube, Display, Discover, Gmail and Maps inventory from a single campaign.
Audience signals are not strict targeting, and ads can be shown to people outside the signals. When both campaigns run together, an exact match keyword that matches the query takes priority. Brand exclusions and negative keywords limit unwanted queries.
Digitruva makes the choice based on the goal, whether there is enough conversion data and the product structure. In Performance Max, it splits asset groups by profitability, because a single group makes high- and low-margin products compete for the same target.
What does a Google Ads specialist do, and how is that different from working with an agency?
A Google Ads specialist is the person who handles campaign setup, bidding decisions and reporting. An in-house specialist stays close to your business, but it is hard for one person to cover measurement, creative and landing page skills alone. An agency takes on this work as a team.
Whichever model you choose, control of the account should stay with you. Digitruva opens new accounts in the client's name, so ownership and historical data remain with the client even after the engagement ends. Admin access should also be yours, because adding users and changing access happen at that level.
Keep the difference in mind when reading reports too. Google Ads and analytics count conversions with different dates and rules, so your conversion tracking setup should make sure both sources count the same transactions.
What goals do YouTube ads serve?
YouTube ads are used to create demand that does not yet exist in search and to build brand awareness. The format is chosen by goal. Skippable in-stream ads let viewers skip after five seconds, which is why delivering the message in the first seconds matters.
The cost model changes too. With cost-per-view bidding, you pay for views or engagement. With target CPA or conversion-focused strategies, you pay for impressions.
According to Google's comparison of video ad formats, you can remarket to people who watch in-stream ads, but bumper ads do not offer this option. That is why a video campaign should not be evaluated on its own but through planning together with social ads and tracking demand in search.
