Google Ads & PPC Management
AlphaTek Solutions manages Google Ads and PPC campaigns for small businesses — setup, keywords, bid management, and clear reporting to get more from your ad spend. The goal is spend focused on the searches that actually produce leads.
PPC — pay-per-click — is paid advertising where you're charged only when someone clicks your ad, and Google Ads is the largest PPC platform. Its strength is intent: your ad appears at the moment someone searches for what you offer, which makes the traffic some of the highest-converting you can buy.
The catch is efficiency. Paid search can spend budget fast on the wrong keywords, loose targeting, or landing pages that don't convert. Well-run campaigns focus spend on the searches that produce leads, filter out the ones that waste it, and send clicks to pages built to turn visitors into customers.

Google Ads Across Search, Display & Shopping
Google Ads isn't a single ad type — it's a set of networks, each suited to a different goal. Search ads appear at the top of Google results when someone actively searches, and they're where most high-intent, lead-focused campaigns start. Display ads run across websites in Google's network and are useful for building awareness and for staying in front of people who have already visited you through remarketing.
Shopping ads show product listings with an image and price directly in search, which makes them a strong fit for businesses selling physical products online. We help you choose the mix that fits your goals rather than spreading budget thin across networks that do not serve them — often starting with Search and expanding as the data justifies it.
PPC for Small Businesses and Local Campaigns
Small businesses rarely need a sprawling paid-search program — they need focused campaigns on the terms most likely to bring in customers, run on a budget that makes sense. We scope PPC to fit a smaller budget and prioritize the keywords and locations most likely to produce leads first.
For businesses that serve a local area, PPC can target the searches customers actually use — including "near me" searches and location-specific terms that often carry strong buying intent. We set up local targeting, location-aware keywords, and ad extensions so your budget reaches nearby customers. We work with local businesses as a market — there is no walk-in office, and we never publish a street address — but the campaign targeting is built around the areas your customers are in.

Google Ads & PPC FAQ
What is PPC (pay-per-click) advertising?
PPC, or pay-per-click, is a form of online advertising where you pay only when someone clicks your ad rather than for the ad being shown. Google Ads is the most widely used PPC platform: you bid on the searches you want to appear for, and you're charged when a searcher clicks through to your site. It's a way to buy visibility from people who are actively looking for what you offer.
What's the difference between PPC and SEO?
PPC buys placement at the top of search instantly and stops the moment you stop paying; SEO earns rankings in the unpaid results over time and keeps working without a per-click cost. PPC is built for immediate, controllable leads, and SEO for durable long-term growth. They complement each other, and many businesses run both — ads for now, SEO for later.
How much does Google Ads management cost?
There's no single price, and it splits into two parts: your ad spend (the budget that goes to Google, which you control and can cap daily or monthly) and the management fee for running the campaigns. Management is commonly priced as a flat monthly fee, a percentage of ad spend, or a scoped project, and the right figure depends on how many campaigns you run, how competitive your keywords are, and how much ongoing optimization the account needs. We scope a plan to your goals and budget rather than quoting a fixed number up front.
Do you manage Google Ads for small businesses?
Yes. Much of our PPC work is built for small businesses — scoped to a realistic budget and focused on the keywords and locations most likely to bring in customers. You don't need a large ad budget to run Google Ads well; you need the spend pointed at the searches that actually convert.
What's the difference between Google Ads and SEM?
SEM (search engine marketing) is the broad term for getting visibility on search engines through paid advertising. Google Ads is the specific platform most SEM is run on — the largest, but not the only one. In everyday use people often say "SEM" to mean paid search in general and "Google Ads" to mean the platform they run it on; the work of keyword targeting, bidding, and optimization is much the same.
