Google Ads Search: campaign structure that does not burn the budget

We do not sell clicks. We build campaigns that turn advertising spend into real enquiries, bookings and sales — with proper tracking and transparent reporting.

  • Campaign / ad group structure by intent, not “random lists”.
  • Negative keywords + match types: how to reduce CPA.
  • Landing pages and tracking: without them, Ads is a lottery.
Google Ads Search: campaign structure that does not burn the budget

What you set up before you launch

Before Ads: objective (leads), conversions, clear offer and a converting landing page.

Otherwise you optimize for clicks, not for enquiries.

  • Conversions: form submitted, phone click, WhatsApp.
  • Landing: clear message + proof + CTA.

Campaign structure

Simple structure for lead gen:

  • 1 campaign per major service.
  • Ad groups by intent (audit / pricing / services).
  • Phrase/exact at the start + daily negatives.
  • 2–3 ad variants (different USPs).
  • 1 dedicated landing page per service.

Mistakes that burn the budget

The short list of disaster:

  • Broad match without negatives.
  • Sending everything to the homepage.
  • No proper tracking.
  • Too many low-volume ad groups.

Weekly optimization

15-minute routine:

  • Check search terms → negatives.
  • Verify real leads.
  • Scale only what produces.
  • Test 1 element / week (headline / offer / form).

Quick questions

How fast do I see results?

Leads in a few days, but optimization takes 2–4 weeks of data.

What minimum budget makes sense?

Depends on the service, but generally 500–1,500€/month to have usable data.

Do I need a dedicated landing page?

Yes. Homepage converts worse than a dedicated landing for a single service.
