Austin PPC that pairs cleanly with organic — no double-spend.

Google Ads, Microsoft Ads, and Performance Max — managed for Austin brands with the same rigour and reporting standard as our organic programmes. Coordinated with SEO so you're not bidding on terms you already rank #1 for in the Austin market.

Overview

Why ppc & paid search matters right now.

Most PPC programmes are managed as an isolated channel. So they end up bidding on branded terms the client already owns organically, and on non-branded terms the client already ranks #1 for. Both are wasted spend.

We manage paid search alongside your organic programme. Paid takes the queries organic doesn't own yet, protects branded from competitors, tests messaging that then flows into SEO copy, and stops the day organic takes over.

Our philosophy

Bid on gaps, not on your own rankings.

Paid + organic is a portfolio, not two channels. When organic ranks #1 on a term, paid should exit. When organic is on page 2 for a high-intent term, paid should be there filling the gap.

That coordination — impossible when SEO and PPC live in different agencies — is where the compounding happens.

The Portfolio Bid Model

Our proprietary approach.

Every keyword is scored: organic rank, competition, commercial intent, and paid CPA. The score determines whether we bid, exit, or defend.

  1. Step 01
    Score

    Every keyword scored on organic rank + intent + CPA.

  2. Step 02
    Route

    Bid, exit, or defend — the rule based on the score.

  3. Step 03
    Measure

    Blended organic + paid revenue, not channel-siloed.

  4. Step 04
    Rebalance

    Weekly review, quarterly strategy refresh.

Is this for you?

We turn away work that isn't a fit.

This is for you if
  • Brands running paid search alongside organic
  • Teams whose current agency treats paid + organic as separate silos
  • E-commerce brands with Shopping + Performance Max complexity
Not a fit if
  • Brands looking to run paid without organic coordination
  • Sub-$5k monthly spend (agency management overhead outweighs the lift)

What's your management fee?+

15% of ad spend at Managed tier, with a $2,500 minimum. 10% at Enterprise with an $8,000 minimum.
