FAQs and Expert Tips for Google Ads
Google Ads allow you to target potential customers who are actively searching for products or services like yours. By showing up in relevant search results, you can drive high-quality traffic to your site, increasing the likelihood of conversions and boosting your overall revenue.
The budget for Google Ads depends on your business goals, industry, and competition. At Catalyst Digital, we create custom strategies that work within your budget while maximising ROI. Whether you’re investing heavily in paid search or starting with a modest budget, we can tailor a campaign to meet your needs and goals. We also provide recommendations on how to scale your budget as you see results.
With Google Ads, you can start seeing results almost immediately, as your ads will begin appearing as soon as your campaign is live. However, the best results come from consistent optimisation. At Catalyst Digital, we continuously monitor your campaigns to improve performance and reduce costs, ensuring steady growth in leads, sales, and traffic over time.

At Catalyst Digital, we don’t believe in cookie-cutter solutions. We offer custom Google Ads management tailored to your business, with a focus on delivering measurable results. Our data-driven approach, combined with continuous campaign optimisation, ensures that your advertising budget is spent wisely, maximising ROI and driving real business growth.
We provide transparent and detailed reporting, so you can see exactly how your Google Ads campaign is performing. You’ll have access to metrics such as click-through rates (CTR), conversion rates, and return on ad spend (ROAS), along with regular updates from our team. We’ll guide you through the data and make recommendations to improve performance.
Yes, we can take over existing campaigns and optimise them for better performance. Whether you’re struggling with low conversions or need help scaling, our team will conduct a full audit of your current setup and make data-driven adjustments to improve results. We’ll also identify new opportunities for growth, so your campaign can continue to evolve.
Getting started with Catalyst Digital is simple. Once you reach out, we’ll schedule a consultation to understand your business needs and goals. From there, we’ll craft a tailored Google Ads strategy and provide you with a detailed proposal, including cost estimates and timelines. You’ll know exactly what to expect before we launch your campaign.
Google’s Smart Bidding and Responsive Search Ads use machine learning to automatically adjust bids and optimise ad placement. With strategies like Target ROAS or Maximise Conversions, we tailor your campaigns based on conversion probability, device, and location. This automation not only reduces manual work but ensures your ads perform at their best, increasing ROI.
Geo-targeting ensures your ads appear in front of customers in specific locations, driving local foot traffic and leads. For small businesses, we focus on reaching users actively searching for your services in your city or region. By combining geo-targeting with location-based ad extensions, we help you connect with customers nearby who are ready to convert.
Improving your Google Ads Quality Score means lower Cost-Per-Click (CPC) and better ad positioning. We enhance your ad relevance, improve your click-through rate (CTR), and ensure your landing pages provide an excellent user experience. By optimising these factors, we help you get the most out of your ad budget while maximising conversions.
We implement a comprehensive negative keyword strategy to prevent your ads from appearing for irrelevant searches. By using an initial negative keyword seed list and continuously refining it through search term reports, we improve your campaign’s relevance, cut unnecessary spend, and focus your budget on high-conversion queries.
To improve conversion tracking accuracy, we set up enhanced conversions using Google Tag Manager. This method captures first-party data like emails or phone numbers, making it easier to measure offline conversions. This setup ensures that you have a clear understanding of customer behaviour and can make better decisions to boost ROI.
We help you integrate both Google Ads and Facebook Ads into a full-funnel marketing strategy. Google Ads captures high-intent users, while Facebook’s interest-based targeting broadens brand awareness. By using both platforms together, we ensure that you engage customers at every stage of their journey, from discovery to purchase.
We regularly run A/B tests on your ad copy to identify which messages resonate most with your target audience. By testing various CTAs, headlines, and descriptions, we continuously refine your ads. This data-driven approach ensures that your ads are always delivering the highest possible CTR and conversions.
We set up dynamic remarketing campaigns that re-engage users who visited your site but didn’t convert. By showing them the exact products they viewed, we help recover abandoned carts and drive more repeat sales. This strategy is critical for boosting e-commerce performance and increasing customer lifetime value.
We use a combination of exact, phrase, and broad match keywords to ensure your ads reach the right audience. Through regular search term report reviews, we fine-tune these match types to maximise relevance and minimise wasted spend. This level of optimisation improves targeting and helps achieve better results for your budget.
Use the Google Ads Transparency Center to view competitors’ ads and gather intelligence on their ad copy, CTAs, and targeted pain points. This information helps you refine your own ad copy testing strategy by addressing similar audience needs while differentiating your brand.
