Negative keywords are the most valuable thing most Durham businesses aren't using in their Raleigh Google Ads campaigns. Without a proper negative keyword list, broad and phrase match keywords burn budget on irrelevant searches. CodeWCG builds negative keyword lists from day one for every Durham campaign: research-based exclusions before launch, then ongoing additions based on actual search term data as campaigns run. Waste reduction is often where we find the most immediate ROI for new Raleigh clients.
Remarketing is the highest-ROI extension of any PPC program for Durham businesses in Raleigh. Website visitors who didn't convert are 3-5x more likely to convert when they see a follow-up ad — because they've already demonstrated interest. CodeWCG sets up remarketing campaigns as a standard component of every Durham PPC engagement: Google Display remarketing, YouTube remarketing, and Meta remarketing for cross-platform reach.
The creative strategy for remarketing differs from prospecting. Durham customers who already visited your site don't need to be introduced to your business — they need a reason to come back. Different message, different offer, different visual. We build remarketing creative specific to the Raleigh market and where those visitors are in their decision process.

Ads & PPC Near Durham — FAQ
Do you manage Meta (Facebook/Instagram) Ads too?
Yes. Meta Ads work differently than Google Ads — you're targeting people before they're searching, so the creative and funnel matter more. We run Meta campaigns for Durham-area businesses where the product/service fits social advertising. We'll tell you honestly if we think Meta isn't the right channel for your business.
What makes your PPC management different in Raleigh?
We treat your ad spend like it's our money. Every keyword gets scrutinized. Every landing page gets tested. We don't run campaigns that we're not confident in and we don't hide poor performance behind vanity metrics. You get transparent reporting and honest analysis every month.
Can you take over campaigns someone else set up?
Yes. We audit inherited campaigns frequently. Most of the time we find significant waste — broad match keywords eating budget, no negative keyword lists, conversion tracking that's broken or misconfigured. We document everything we find, fix what's fixable, and rebuild what's not.
What's a realistic budget for Google Ads in Raleigh?
Depends on the industry and competition. For most Durham-area service businesses, $1,500-$3,000/month in ad spend is a starting point that generates meaningful data. We'll give you a realistic estimate based on your specific keywords and the competitive landscape we see in the data — before you commit.
