Google Ads: capturing demand profitably

Google Ads is Google’s advertising platform for search, shopping, display, video, and more. For many businesses, paid search is the most direct way to capture existing demand - but the difference between profitable and unprofitable accounts is almost always tracking quality, structure, and landing page conversion.

Core levers to manage

  • Intent segmentation (brand vs non-brand, generic vs competitor)
  • Bidding strategy aligned to value (CPA/ROAS with clean conversion signals)
  • Ads + assets that pre-qualify clicks and reduce waste

Common mistakes

  • Optimising to low-intent conversions (inflates “performance”).
  • Using broad targeting without negatives and structure.
  • Ignoring landing page speed and friction.
