Google Search Ads · South Africa

Buy high-intent traffic carefully — and learn from every search.

For a smaller test budget, Search campaigns let us focus on people actively looking for a service. We pair tightly themed keywords with dedicated landing pages and measure actual enquiries, not just clicks.

What usually goes wrong

Fix the bottleneck before adding more traffic.

Ads sent to a generic homepage

The landing page should answer the exact intent the ad created.

Paying for irrelevant searches

Tight themes, match control, negatives and regular search-term reviews protect a small test budget.

Counting clicks as success

Calls, WhatsApp clicks and qualified enquiries are the outcomes that matter.

What the work can include

A practical scope, not a bag of buzzwords.

Best when the offer is clear, the business can answer enquiries quickly and there is enough margin in a new customer to justify testing paid acquisition.

Search intent we plan around

Pages should match the words buyers actually use.

No lead guarantees.

Ads can buy relevant visits, but results depend on demand, competition, the offer, the landing page and how quickly enquiries are answered. We start with a controlled test and improve from actual search terms and lead quality.

Campaign readiness

Get the measurement right before the first rand is spent.

We would start with tightly themed Search campaigns for services such as website design or local SEO. Gauteng and the Western Cape can be prioritised in separate location groups, with nationwide targeting used only for a service that can genuinely be delivered remotely.

Conversion definitions

A click to open WhatsApp is an intent signal, not proof that a message was sent. We distinguish those clicks from delivered form enquiries, answered calls, booked reviews and qualified leads.

Budget controls

Set a daily limit, exclude irrelevant searches, review the search-terms report and shift spend only after checking whether enquiries match the service and area.
