Search ads show your business at the moment someone types what they need into Google, such as an emergency plumber in Newton or a dentist near Guildford. This page covers only text ads on Google’s search results and is part of our Advertising Agency services in Surrey.

What is included in Google Search Ads management?

Google Search Ads management covers everything inside a search campaign, from the first keyword list to the monthly report. We build the campaign in an ad account that you own, then keep refining it as real search data comes in.

  • Keyword research based on how Surrey customers actually phrase their searches
  • Campaign and ad group structure grouped by service, not by guesswork
  • Responsive search ads with tested headlines and descriptions
  • Sitelink, callout, call and location assets
  • Negative keyword lists to block irrelevant searches
  • Bidding strategy and daily budget setup
  • Conversion tracking for calls, forms and bookings
  • Plain-language reporting on leads and cost per lead

If you also want Display, YouTube or Shopping campaigns run in the same account, see our full Google Ads Management service.

How do we choose keywords and match types?

We start with the services you want more of, then look at how people search for them. A roofing company does not want clicks for roofing jobs or DIY roof repair, so the keyword plan is as much about what to exclude as what to include.

Match typeHow it worksHow we use it
Exact matchShows for searches with the same meaning as the keywordHigh-intent terms with a clear service and location
Phrase matchShows for searches that include the meaning of the keywordCore services with natural variations
Broad matchShows for related searches, guided by Smart Bidding signalsOnly once conversion tracking is reliable and negatives are in place

The search terms report shows the real queries that triggered your ads. We add the useful ones as keywords and the wasteful ones as negative keywords, so spend moves toward searches that turn into calls.

How does location targeting work for Surrey searches?

Google Ads lets us target by city, postal area or radius, and choose between people in your area and people in or interested in your area. For most local service businesses we use presence only, so a person in another province researching Surrey does not use up your budget.

Surrey’s six communities behave differently. A clinic in Fleetwood may want a tight radius, while a mover or trucking company may cover Surrey, Langley and Delta along Highway 1 and Highway 10. We set the area around where you can actually serve customers, then adjust from the location report.

  • Ad scheduling to match the hours your phones are answered
  • Separate campaigns or bid adjustments for higher-value areas
  • Language and copy planning for Surrey’s multilingual audiences, including Punjabi where it fits your customers

How do we write ads and landing pages that match the search?

Responsive search ads allow up to 15 headlines and 4 descriptions, and Google tests combinations of them. We write each line to answer the search directly: the service, the area you cover, what makes you different and a clear next step.

Google’s Quality Score looks at expected click-through rate, ad relevance and landing page experience. A search for a furnace repair in Cloverdale should land on a page about furnace repair, not your homepage. When your site does not have that page, our Landing Page Design team can build one.

For BC realtors, search ads are still advertising. We follow BCFSA guidance so the brokerage name is clear and prominent in ads and on landing pages.

How do we track calls and leads from search ads?

We set up conversion tracking with the Google tag and Google Analytics 4 so the account records form submissions, calls from ads and calls from your website.

Good tracking also feeds Smart Bidding strategies such as Maximise conversions or Target CPA. Without it, automated bidding has nothing reliable to learn from. When a visitor clicks but does not convert, our Google Remarketing & Retargeting campaigns can bring them back.

During my entire career, I have hired and tried many different Marketing Agencies but had best experience working with Tejas and his Team. They made the whole process really simple for me, which allowed me to focus more on my day-to-day activities. They helped generate and convert lots of online leads into conversions – using their system alone is worth hiring them! I can't recommend them enough.

Frequently asked questions

How much do Google Search Ads cost in Surrey?

It depends on your industry, how competitive your keywords are, the area you target and how many leads you want. Your ad spend is paid to Google and is separate from our management fee. Legal, home services and real estate searches often cost more per click than niche services. Request a free analysis and we will explain the factors for your business.

How soon will I get leads from search ads?

Ads can start showing once they are approved, but lead flow depends on search volume, budget, competition, your landing page and how quickly you answer calls. The first weeks are also a learning period while we gather search term and conversion data. We will not promise a timeline, but we will show you what is happening from the start.

What is the difference between Google Search Ads and Google Ads Management?

Google Search Ads is one campaign type: text ads on Google’s search results. Google Ads Management covers the whole account, which can also include Display, YouTube, Shopping and Performance Max. Many local businesses start with search because it reaches people who are already looking, then add other campaign types later.

Do I own my Google Ads account?

Yes. The ad account should be owned by your business, with billing in your name. Vivid Marketing works in the account through access you grant us. If we ever stop working together, the account, its history and its conversion data stay with you.

What do you need from me to start?

We need access to your Google Ads account if you have one, the services you want to promote, the areas you serve, your business hours and any offers. Knowing which jobs are most valuable to you helps us prioritise keywords.

Can my ads show in other languages?

Yes, where it makes sense. Google Ads targets languages based on the language settings people use, so we plan language targeting, ad copy and the landing page together. In Surrey that sometimes means Punjabi alongside English. The landing page should match the language of the ad.
