Our Google Ads Pillars

Google Ads (formerly Google AdWords) is a pay-per-click advertising platform that shows your business at the top of Google search results when people search for your products or services. You only pay when someone clicks your ad. For South African businesses, Google Ads delivers qualified leads within 24 to 48 hours of launch, making it the fastest way to capture search demand. Intent capture, smart bidding, and transparent ROI three core pillars that drive every Google Ads campaign we run.

Frequently asked questions

Google Ads FAQ

Straight answers about Google Ads management in Pretoria. No jargon, no runaround.

What is Google Search Advertising?

Google Search Advertising (PPC) places your business at the top of Google results when potential customers search for your products or services. You only pay when someone clicks your ad, making it one of the most cost-effective channels for reaching high-intent buyers.

How does Juicy Designs manage keyword research?

We conduct thorough keyword research, competitive analysis, and search intent mapping to identify what your target audience is searching for. We focus on commercial-intent keywords that drive leads, not just traffic, and build tightly themed ad groups to maximise Quality Score and lower cost per click.

How quickly can I see results from Google Search Ads?

Ads can drive traffic almost immediately after launch. However, the first 30–60 days is a critical learning phase where Google’s algorithm optimises delivery and we refine bids, copy, and targeting based on real data. Significant ROI improvements typically materialise at the 60–90 day mark.

What is Quality Score and why does it matter?

Quality Score measures the relevance and quality of your keywords, ads, and landing pages. A higher score means Google rewards you with lower cost-per-click and better ad positions. We optimise all three elements (keyword relevance, ad copy, and landing page experience) to keep your Quality Score high and your costs low.

Do you offer remarketing with Google Ads?

Yes. We build remarketing campaigns on Google Display Network and YouTube to re-engage visitors who didn’t convert, using dynamic product ads, audience segmentation, and sequential messaging to bring them back and complete the sale.

How do you track and report on campaign performance?

We set up conversion tracking via Google Tag Manager, link GA4 and Google Ads, and build a live dashboard showing clicks, impressions, cost per conversion, ROAS, and lead quality. Monthly strategy reviews cover what worked, what we’re changing, and the plan for the next 30 days. No jargon, plain language.

What ad budget do I need for Google Search Ads?

Our management fee starts from R6,000/month. Ad spend (the budget paid directly to Google) is separate. We typically recommend a minimum of R5,000–R10,000/month in media spend for meaningful data and results. Budget requirements vary by industry competitiveness and geographic targeting. We’ll advise the right number during your free audit.

Client results

What our clients say

Here's what Pretoria businesses say about our Google Ads work.

4.6x ROAS in first 90 days

“We had burned through budget with a previous agency and had almost nothing to show for it. Juicy restructured our entire account, tightened our targeting, and within 90 days we were getting 4.6x return on ad spend. The transparency and reporting alone made it worth switching.”

Cost per lead dropped 42% in 60 days

R1.2M in attributed revenue, month 6

“Google Shopping was a mess before Juicy: wrong product attributes, terrible feed quality, low Quality Scores. After a full rebuild with proper Performance Max campaigns, month six attributed over R1.2 million in direct e-commerce revenue to Google Ads alone. Exceptional work.”
