What are Google Ads?
In digital marketing, Google Ads (formerly Google Adwords) is a double-edged sword. If you understand how it works and how it applies to your marketing campaigns, it has the potential to transform your business. But if you go into it blindly, you’ll soon be pumping your hard-earned dollars down the drain.
Maybe you’ve already consulted with companies that claim to provide you with the “best digital marketing service” out there.
The problem is that many Google Ads agencies eager to lock you in with them can give you confusing replies to hide their lack of credentials or expertise.
Our agency has created a list of pointed questions you should definitely ask to test your Google Ads agency’s competence. Remember: simple questions require simple answers. A baffling answer is typically a red flag.
What exactly is Google Ads, and why does your Newcastle-based company need a top-notch Google Adwords management agency?
How We Understand Google Ads
Google loves to make advertising products that appear simple: set your budget, flip a couple of sliders, and your campaign is live in five minutes. It’s like a wish come true for marketers.
But there’s a catch.
The truth is that Google Ads is not simply an online advertising program, as most random Google searches define it. It’s an ad platform that runs on complicated formulas.
You see, Google stands on the shoulders of world-class engineers, statisticians, and mathematicians. Businesses that understand how to capitalise on the calculations of these maths whizzes have risen from obscurity to rockstar status in their respective niches.
Digital Spotlight was founded by advanced mathematicians who are also business owners. Our agency is uniquely positioned to bridge the all-important communication gap between maths and marketing.
How Do Google Ads Work?
The Google Ads system consists of various products, including Google Search, Google Display (+ YouTube), Google Remarketing, and Google Shopping. Getting the mix right is critical to making the most of your advertising budget.
The fact is that a high ad spend does not guarantee high conversion rates and sales. In most cases, if you don’t watch over your ad expenditures or aren’t testing enough, it can even cause you to lose money quickly.
But if you get the mix right, you could benefit from a steady stream of qualified leads.
How Will Google Ads Assist in Growing My Business?
If your Google Ads management approach can integrate how Google speaks into your marketing tactics and you have the systems to scale, your business can skyrocket, similar to what we did for many of our clients.
Our agency created a data model using millions of dollars invested over 10 years for 1,812 clients. We have a dataset that serves as a multidimensional GPS, determining the most effective way to manage Google Ads campaigns to reach your target demographic.
Show Up When Potential Customers Search for What You Offer
Your advert may appear on Google when someone searches for similar goods or services.
But watch out. With Google’s ability to reach millions of individuals per hour, a single targeting mistake could see your daily budget devoured before you’ve even left your computer.
Get the Results That Matter to You
If your Google Ads agency can’t give you the following results, it’s time to rethink your options:
- Slashed wasted Google Ads expenditure
- Improved critical lead and sale numbers
- Provided higher conversion rates
- Decreased average cost per sale
For example, our comprehensive solutions have helped PropertyMe, a well-known property management software provider in Australia, improve its click-through rate (a 19908.35% increase) and conversion rate (a 282.89% increase).
Set a Budget That Works for Your Business
Our agency believes that you should have 100% control over where your ad money goes. We run campaigns through your Google Ads account, and you pay Google directly.
Every dollar of your ad spending budget goes to Google when you transact with Google directly.
Some Google Ads account management companies pretend to charge you a minimal management fee, but they run your advertisements through their own Google Ads account. Only a portion of what you pay them for ads goes to Google; the rest is a hidden commission on clicks (which is often a lot).
At Digital Spotlight, we value total transparency and don’t charge hidden commissions. We run your campaigns on your account, get the results you need, and ensure that fees are transparent and agreed upon upfront.

Why Advertise With Google Ads?
Google is the go-to online search engine for most internet users worldwide. Consequently, Google Ads is the largest pay-per-click ad platform and the one closely linked with PPC campaigns.
An effective Google Ads strategy can drastically increase your business’ leads and sales without siphoning your entire advertisement money.
Our work with Communicate Speech Pathology, a well-established speech therapy provider that services places like Newcastle and Sydney, has resulted in a 1266.67% increase in conversions while decreasing the cost per conversion by 77.75%.
Is Google Ads Right for My Business?
We won’t be able to answer this until we speak to you and deeply understand your situation.
We prefer to listen to you first and, where appropriate, do some analysis (free of charge and with no strings attached) to determine the best strategy to solve your current marketing issues.
We do this at a high cost to ourselves because we don’t think it’s fair to quote you before we can fully understand what your business needs to engage your target audience.
We also do not make you sign lock-in contracts because we want you to be sure that partnering with us is a win-win situation before we suggest or quote you on anything.
You Pay per Click
Google Ads is Google’s pay-per-click (PPC) advertising system. As such, Google Ads works through an auction mechanism.
Google considers these factors in deciding who wins ad slots:
- Bid: Your bid is the maximum amount you’re willing to pay for a click on your ads.
- Ad quality: The quality of your ad depends on its relevance and usefulness. Google’s Quality Score summarises the company’s evaluation of your ad’s quality.
- Estimated impact from ad formats and extensions: How you write or structure your ads can win you a higher ad ranking at a lower price, even if your competitors have excellent bidding strategies.
Higher ROI
You can enjoy a higher return on investment (ROI) with the right mix of Google Ads products and strategies.
Our agency’s ability to achieve excellent ROIs for many of our clients, along with our very long-term relationships with them, has earned us Google’s trust. Additionally, our clients benefit from our partnership with Earth’s most prominent digital platform.
- A direct line to Google’s top support people
- Early access to Google’s newest features
- Nonpublic data straight from their internal dataset
Identify and Focus on Converting Keywords
Our intensely focused keyword strategy can optimise your use of Google Ads by directing your efforts and budget towards highly valuable keywords.
Better Visibility
Google positions its search and shopping ads on top of any organic listing so potential buyers can see them first. Getting into those coveted ad slots requires more than just creating structured (and often expensive) campaigns.
Measurable
Data is crucial to the success of your Google Ads campaign. You can use many available metrics to perform a granular analysis of your campaigns to determine what works and what does not.
Thousands of first-rate engineers, mathematicians, and computer scientists run and maintain Google. These people do not speak the language you have as a business owner; they only speak maths.
You need someone in the middle who understands your products and approach and knows how to use Google’s complex statistics to establish your brand online.
Digital Spotlight’s founders are advanced statisticians. Numbers are as ingrained in our DNA as they are in Google’s. We are that “someone in the middle” your business needs to dominate Google’s ad rank.
Quicker Results
Google Ads can produce faster results than any other search engine marketing strategy.
Using our advanced statistical modelling, we doubled the returns of some of our Google shopping clients within months.
Industries
Partnering with certified and experienced Google Ads specialists can help you win even in the most demanding industries.
Contact UsShould I Do Google Ads or SEO?
Google Ads and SEO have pros and cons, and many of our clients do both (as they earn an ROI from each of them).
Google Ads is the way to go if you need leads and sales immediately. This is a huge pro with the platform.
A con is that you’re competing with other well-established players. Over time, if your ad budget isn’t managed effectively, it can become a costly process (so ongoing optimisation and testing are a must).
Search engine optimisation (SEO) is great if you do not need immediate leads and are investing to generate better results over the medium to long term. Although the time to get rankings, traffic, and leads is a huge con with SEO, you aren’t paying every time someone clicks on your ad.
Your SEO budget usually stays flat. Over time, an effective strategy can help increase your ranking, traffic and sales, meaning SEO becomes more and more profitable.
How Do I Best Optimise My Google Ads?
Google Ads optimisation requires nonstop testing and fine-tuning. Our agency takes this principle to heart. And being the maths geeks that we are, tinkering with datasets is where we excel.
In the Google Ads universe, those who understand how business relates to maths are often those who succeed. So, what better way to win the Google Ads race than by partnering with Digital Spotlight, an agency run by mathematicians?
Are Google Ads Worth It?
For some businesses, we’ve used Google ads to 5x their sales. For others, it’s not nearly as effective.
It’s not the same for every business, but Google Ads can transform companies into digital marketplace leaders. We know this based on over 10 years of experience and investing millions of dollars for almost 2,000 clients.

FAQ
Are you a Google Partner agency?
Yes! We’re a Google Premier Partner, the elite status that Google awards its clients. This badge recognises our track record in the following:
- Reducing wasted ad spend
- Rapidly expanding our clientele
- Partnering with those clients for extended periods (we have many long-term clients even if we have no lock-in contracts)
How much do Google Ads cost?
You have total control over your Google Ads budget! It’s up to you how much you’re willing to invest in ad campaigns.
We can provide pitch-free expert advice to help you determine your ideal ad spend budget. You can email us at [email protected] or call us at 1300 891 181.
Is Google Ads the same as Google AdWords?
Google Adwords is the former name for Google Ads. On July 24, 2018, Google changed the brand for simplification and representation of the complete range of campaign types today, such as Search, Shopping, and Display.
Do I still need Google Ads even if our website is already ranking on Google organically?
Many of our clients do both, as they continue to generate more business and profit by doing Google ads (even though they are ranked organically). An organic ranking of your ads positions your company as a dominant player.
If you’re currently generating enough business organically and do not want any more business, there is no need to do Google ads.
Will Google Ads help us attract customers?
Yes! As long as:
- People are searching for a service your business offers.
- You have a site that effectively communicates that you offer these services.
- You manage (or hire someone to manage) your Google ads effectively, which means lots of testing and customer segmentation.
Can you take over from my existing Google Ads agency?
Yes, we can! Having said this, we must first speak to any business to ensure we can add value. In most cases, we can. In some situations, your current agency (or you) may already be doing a great job, and we may not be able to add much value.
We don’t pitch anything or offer our services until we’ve listened to and understood your situation.
What are PPC and SEM?
PPC stands for pay-per-click, an online advertising system where advertisers pay a fee whenever users click on their ads.
SEM means search engine marketing. Like SEO, SEM is about getting traffic but uses paid advertising, unlike SEO.
What are keywords?
Keywords refer to words or phrases describing your service or product that you select to help identify when and where your ad can show up.
Can I manage my own Google Ads campaigns?
You can give it a try. However, winning on Google’s complex numbers-based ad platform requires ongoing tracking and testing to ensure you stay ahead of the competition.
This is why our Google Ads management team spends much time in meetings with Google and understanding how algorithms work to use them to our client’s advantage.
Will Google Ads work for my business?
It does for most businesses (which is why Google is the behemoth it is today). Generally, it only works if you have people managing your campaigns who understand your products and marketing goals and know how to talk like Google does (in numbers).
Ask us anything you would like to know. Book a no-pitch, no-charge, and no-obligation consultation with us. You can email us at [email protected] or call us at 1300 891 181.
