Google Ads Agency FAQs

As a leading Google advertising agency, our starting fee is $3,500 per month, but our contracts can vary depending on your account’s complexity and marketing budget. We specialize in helping early-stage startups and small businesses with Google Ads.

Our approach is tailored for teams looking to test and improve their performance, efficiently scale their ad campaigns, and ensure they’re getting the most out of their advertising budget. Compared to hiring an in-house team, our full-stack ad services are significantly more affordable, and we provide more support than working with a freelancer.

So, why team up with a TikTok ads agency? Well, if you’re eager to make the most of TikTok’s advertising magic but don’t have all the know-how or resources in-house, these agencies are your go-to pals. They know TikTok inside and out, and they’ll help you reach your goals and connect with the right crowd on the platform.

As a growth marketing agency, we partner with businesses to drive and accelerate their growth through a combination of marketing strategies and tactics. Here’s how our typical process works with clients:

  • Initial Assessment: The process often begins with an in-depth assessment of your current marketing efforts, goals, and challenges. We work closely with you to understand your business, target audience, competitive landscape, and growth objectives.
  • Strategy Development: Based on the assessment, our team will formulate a comprehensive growth marketing strategy. This strategy outlines the overarching plan to achieve your goals, including specific tactics, channels, and timelines. The strategy may encompass various growth focuses, including content marketing, search engine optimization (SEO), email marketing, paid media, and performance creative.
  • Implementation: With the strategy in place, we start executing the plan and prioritized list of activities. This can involve creating and optimizing paid campaigns, producing high-quality content, conducting SEO audits, and managing website initiatives, among other tactics. We often utilize a mix of owned, earned, and paid media to reach the target audience.
  • Data Analytics and Tracking: A crucial aspect of growth marketing is data analysis and tracking. We plug into a number of different analytics tools to monitor the performance of marketing campaigns in real-time. This includes tracking website traffic, conversion rates, user engagement, revenue, and more. Data-driven insights help us make informed decisions and optimize campaigns for better results.
  • Continuous Optimization: At Tuff, we often say “growth is a process not an outcome” because it’s truly an iterative process. Our experts will continuously analyze the data and growth marketing metrics to identify areas for improvement. We adjust strategies, refine tactics, and optimize campaigns to maximize ROI and achieve your growth goals. This may involve A/B testing, conversion rate optimization, and other techniques.
  • Scaling: As successful strategies are identified and refined, we focus on scaling up the most effective campaigns and killing anything that isn’t working. This might involve increasing advertising budgets, expanding content production, or targeting new market segments to drive further growth.
  • Reporting and Communication: In addition to integrated Slack channels and weekly meetings, we provide regular reporting and updates on Google ads campaign performance, allowing you to track progress and understand the return on your marketing investment. We also work together on monthly recaps and quarterly planning sessions.
  • Simply speaking, as a growth marketing agency, we’re a strategic partner that leverages a combination of expertise, data analysis, and ongoing optimization to help businesses expand their reach, acquire new customers, and increase revenue. Our focus is on achieving measurable, sustainable growth for their clients.

We’re experts at a variety of growth marketing capabilities. We partner with clients to set the roadmap and then get to work experimenting with a variety of different tactics based on their goals.

Our list of tactics includes but is most certainly not limited to:

  • Paid Media
  • Video Marketing
  • Creative Testing
  • Performance Creative
  • Data & Analytics
  • SEO
  • Content Marketing
  • Conversion Rate Optimization

The most important “ingredient” to getting this “recipe” right is our team’s ability to act like an extension of your in-house team; having dedicated conversations and building relationships with your creatives and community/influencer managers so that there’s open communication, tons of support, and big creative energy and fun.

So, why team up with a TikTok ads agency? Well, if you’re eager to make the most of TikTok’s advertising magic but don’t have all the know-how or resources in-house, these agencies are your go-to pals. They know TikTok inside and out, and they’ll help you reach your goals and connect with the right crowd on the platform.

Many Google ads agencies typically price from a percentage of the ad spend they manage or a share of the revenue generated by their strategies. Both of these approaches are entirely valid. However, we’ve intentionally designed our pricing model differently: We utilize flat-fee retainers that are determined by the number of services, hours, and team we incorporate simultaneously.

Why did we choose this approach? Growth marketing is inherently unpredictable. Occasionally, even the most skilled growth marketers can anticipate that a combination of PPC, SEO content, and social advertising is the winning formula. Nevertheless, if one of these components fails to meet expectations, it’s not an indication of failure but rather a signal that it’s time to explore new avenues. Our process at Tuff is structured in a way that enables us to seamlessly introduce new services or team members, such as CRO (Conversion Rate Optimization) or creative development, without disruption until we discover the perfect mix for your needs.

The crux of TikTok advertising success lies in the ingenuity of your ad creative. It’s not just about the content itself; it’s equally about how well it harmonizes with TikTok’s culture, seizes the viewer’s attention, and sparks interaction. A well-executed ad creative can supercharge your ad performance, expanding your reach and ultimately realizing your advertising objectives.

Here at Tuff, our TikTok Ads team is in a constant state of exploration, trying out fresh creative concepts for our clients. If something doesn’t click, we swiftly pivot and continue experimenting with novel ideas until we discover the winning formula. Your success is our mission!

So, why team up with a TikTok ads agency? Well, if you’re eager to make the most of TikTok’s advertising magic but don’t have all the know-how or resources in-house, these agencies are your go-to pals. They know TikTok inside and out, and they’ll help you reach your goals and connect with the right crowd on the platform.
