Ads & PPC Near Hilliard
Negative keywords are the most valuable thing most Hilliard businesses aren't using in their Columbus 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 Hilliard 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 Columbus clients.
PPC management in Columbus requires knowing the local market. What keywords do Hilliard-area customers actually use? What's the competitive landscape look like at the bid level? What landing page messaging works for this market? Generic national PPC agencies don't know. CodeWCG does this research for every client.
We also set up tracking properly. Most PPC agencies in Columbus report on clicks and impressions. We track actual conversions — calls, form fills, purchases — and optimize toward those. If you're spending $3,000/month and generating $1,500 in revenue, that's not a budget problem, it's a strategy problem. We fix strategy.

Ads & PPC Near Hilliard — FAQ
What's a realistic budget for Google Ads in Columbus?
Depends on the industry and competition. For most Hilliard-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.
How quickly can PPC start generating leads in Hilliard?
Campaigns can go live within a week of kickoff. You'll see initial data — clicks, impressions, early conversions — within the first 2 weeks. Month 2 is where we optimize based on real data. Expect meaningful improvement by month 3. PPC is faster than SEO but still takes time to optimize properly.
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 Hilliard-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 Columbus?
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.
