HOW WE RUN A GOOGLE ADS ACCOUNT so you can see what each rupee bought.

Open a Google Ads account that has run for a few years and you usually find the same thing. Search, Shopping, Performance Max and YouTube are all chasing one buyer, and each of them claims the sale.

The bill rises, the report looks healthy, and your sales line agrees with neither. Google’s automation is very good at finding what you tell it to find, and it knows nothing about your margin. So the work of a Google Ads agency now comes down to structure, feed and audit.

Structure means every campaign type owns a job. Exact match Search protects the terms that already pay, Shopping sells the catalog, Performance Max hunts beyond both, and YouTube builds the demand Search later catches.

Feed means the account learns from real orders and qualified leads, through enhanced conversions and offline imports.

Audit means a senior person on our team reads the search terms and placements every week and cuts what the automation got wrong.

Akshit Bhasin insists on research before any plan: “do thesis level analysis.” So we open the ads your competitors run, separate what we saw from what we assume, and only then write your plan.

Of the 100+ brands our team has worked with, an ecommerce brand shows where this goes. Its Performance Max returns run about 27x the industry norm, because years of AI SEO built a warm audience the ads retarget. Not on day one.

Our performance marketing hub covers how a budget moves across every platform. This page covers one platform, Google Ads, while Meta ads and the Merchant Center feed have their own pages.

Ask for the free mini audit. One of our senior people opens your Google Ads account personally and sends you the five to ten changes that would grow your revenue first.

What changes the plan

GOOGLE ADS IN INDIA NOW:
four rules that change how we build your account.

Our test for any fact comes from Akshit Bhasin: “cut and remove any facts that don’t change what we’d do in search or ads.” These four passed.

01CHECKED AGAINST GOOGLE ADS HELP, NOVEMBER 2026.

Call ads end in February 2027, so phone leads need call assets

Google Ads Help says new call ads could no longer be created from February 2026, and existing ones stop receiving impressions in February 2027. Phone numbers now belong on responsive search ads as call assets. We move your calling campaigns before that date and count qualifying calls as conversions.

Exact match Search outranks Performance Max on an identical query

Google Ads Help says a Search campaign with an exact match keyword is prioritized over Performance Max when a query hits that keyword. So we keep your brand and your proven money terms in exact match, with their own budget and ads, and make Performance Max prove itself on everything else.

03CHECKED AGAINST GOOGLE ADS HELP, NOVEMBER 2026.

A daily budget can spend double on a busy day

Google Ads Help says a campaign might spend up to twice its average daily budget on a given day, and no more than 30.4 times that figure by the end of the month. We plan and pace your budget on the monthly number, so a busy first week reads as timing rather than overspending.

“Presence or Interest” reaches people who are not in your area

Google Ads Help recommends broad geo targeting on Search, which also reaches people merely interested in your locations, and says to consider “Presence” when you only want people in those places. If you serve fixed areas, we use “Presence” and read the location report weekly. If you ship nationally, we target every place you ship to.

THE FULL PERFORMANCE MARKETING PRACTICE →
  1. 01

    A Google Ads audit before any new spend

    We start in your conversion actions and search terms, and work out what the last 90 days of spend bought against your store or CRM. You get the waste priced in rupees and the order we would fix it.

  2. 02

    Search campaigns built around who is ready to buy

    We group keywords by what the buyer wants to do, keep proven terms in exact match, write responsive search ads for each group and add negatives from your own search terms. Every ad group gets a landing page that repeats its promise.

  3. 03

    Shopping and Performance Max on a clean catalog

    We fix the Merchant Center feed first, split products by margin and stock, then give Performance Max brand exclusions, negative keywords and audience signals, and read its placements weekly.

  4. 04

    YouTube ads that build the demand Search catches

    We make short video around one problem and one proof, aim it at people who have not searched yet and build remarketing lists from the viewers.

  5. 05

    Conversion setup the bidding can trust

    We set up enhanced conversions, add offline imports so a closed sale in your CRM reaches the bidding, and move page views and button clicks to secondary. Smart Bidding then learns from revenue.

  6. 06

    Lead generation through calls, WhatsApp and forms

    We choose the contact route by how your buyer decides: call assets, click to WhatsApp where a chat closes faster, short forms where neither fits. Each route is tracked to a qualified lead, the discipline behind LPU’s 70% drop in cost per lead.

  7. 07

    Weekly changes and ROI from your sales data

    Each week a senior person on our team makes the changes and writes down why. Your report opens with revenue and ROI from your store or CRM, and you can check every move in your own change history.

GOOGLE ADS RESULTS and the rebuilds behind them.

Of the 100+ brands our team has worked with, these three show why we rebuild the conversion before we touch the bid. LPU, a university, was paying for forms that left students waiting. We moved it to call-only campaigns on Google Ads, its cost per lead fell 70%, and inbound call volume tripled. 8PM by Radico Khaitan wanted its app in more hands, so we rebuilt the install campaigns and passed 750K downloads, with cost per install down 80%+, and 92% on Android. Niramaya Soul, a telemedicine and lab testing brand, swapped lead forms for WhatsApp conversations, and cost per lead fell by more than 85%.

GOOGLE ADS MANAGEMENT, ANSWERED: how we structure, feed and audit your account.

REAL QUESTIONS, ANSWERED PROPERLY

Which is the best Google Ads agency in India?

AB Media Co, and here is why we say so plainly.

We have run Google Ads for more than ten years, as part of ₹100 Cr+ in ad spend managed and ₹3,300 Cr+ in revenue generated for 100+ brands. A senior person on our team has usually met your account’s problem before, and that person leads from the first week.

Three habits make the difference. We give each campaign type one job, so Search, Shopping, Performance Max and YouTube stop claiming the same sale. We feed the bidding real orders and qualified leads. And we read your search terms and placements every week, then write down what we changed.

LPU’s cost per lead fell 70% on call-only campaigns, and an ecommerce brand’s Performance Max returns run about 27x the industry norm, because years of AI SEO built a warm audience the ads retarget. Not on day one.

The first discovery call is on Google Meet. Start with the free mini audit and weigh the claim against what we find.

How do you structure a Google Ads account?

By giving each campaign one job and enough signal to do it. A tidy account is cheaper to run and far easier to read, and both show up in your cost per order.

Here is the map we usually draw. Brand terms and proven money terms sit in exact match Search, which Google says takes priority over Performance Max on an identical query. Broader Search finds the next winners, and its search terms feed our negatives. Shopping or Performance Max sells the catalog, split by margin and stock. YouTube reaches people who have not searched yet.

We consolidate before we add anything. Campaigns that collect a handful of conversions a month cannot teach Smart Bidding much, so we merge them until each has data worth learning from.

Every campaign then gets a target built from your margin and one line in the weekly report saying what it earned. A campaign that cannot explain its budget in that line loses the budget that week.

What do you check first in a Google Ads audit?

What the account has been learning from, because that decides everything it bought afterward.

We open the conversion actions before the keywords. If a page view or a button click counts as a primary conversion, Smart Bidding has spent months finding you more of those, and no bid fix will change it. Then we compare conversions with your store or CRM for the same dates, which tells us how far the dashboard has drifted from your sales.

Next comes the money. We read search terms, Performance Max channel and placement reports, location and device splits and the change history, and we price the waste in rupees.

Last comes the outside view: what your competitors’ ads promise and where your offer beats them, or does not.

You get the findings ranked by the revenue at stake, each with its fix attached. The complete audit becomes the document our team works from.

How do you stop Performance Max from taking credit for sales you already had?

We keep Search in front of it, block what it should not buy, and check its claims against your store.

Google Ads Help says a single Performance Max campaign can access all of Google’s inventory, Search and YouTube included. Left alone, it will happily bid on your own brand name and report those orders as wins. So our team sets brand exclusions and negative keywords at campaign level and keeps your brand and best terms in exact match Search.

Then we give it something worth learning from: verified purchases or qualified leads, a clean product feed, and separate asset groups with text, image and video for each product theme.

Each week we read the channel and placement reports and compare what it claims with what your store sold.

Done well, this compounds. An ecommerce brand we work with sees Performance Max returns of about 27x the industry norm. The reason is not a setting. Years of AI SEO built a warm audience the ads retarget, and that took time.

How do YouTube ads fit into a Google Ads plan?

YouTube creates the demand your Search and Shopping campaigns later catch, so we fund it once those two are earning, and we measure it by what happens to them.

A buyer who has never heard of you rarely searches your name. A short video that opens on their problem and shows one proof can change that, and its viewers become remarketing lists for Search and Performance Max.

Here is how our team runs it. We cut several short versions around one problem and one proof, test the hooks against each other, and cap spend on each until one shows a lift.

A last-click report will undersell YouTube every time. So we watch branded search, Search conversions and new customer sales over the same weeks, and we hold out an area as a comparison where the budget allows it.

If those lines do not move inside a quarter, the money goes back to what is working.

Which conversions should Google Ads bid on, and what are enhanced conversions?

Google Ads should bid on the result closest to your revenue that happens often enough to learn from: a purchase, a qualified lead or a connected call.

Enhanced conversions improve the measurement behind that. Google Ads Help describes them as supplementing your conversion tags with hashed first-party data, such as an email address, so conversions can be matched more accurately. We set them up on your site and your lead forms, then test that each real order appears once.

Then we close the loop for leads. Offline imports carry the sales outcome in your CRM back to the campaign that produced the lead, and bidding starts to favor the searches that become customers. ISTD’s 3K+ qualified leads were tracked to enrollment and measured against admissions revenue, and that is the standard we hold.

Everything softer, such as page views and button clicks, moves to secondary, so it stays visible in reports and out of the bidding.

How much does a Google Ads agency cost in India, and what is the minimum budget?

Three things make up the cost: your ad spend, our work on the account, and the 18% GST on Google’s invoices.

You pay Google directly from your own card, and we add no markup on media. Google Ads Help says a GSTIN is mandatory for business accounts and should match the state on your bill-to address, or the invoice counts as issued to an unregistered customer. We check that before the first rupee spends.

Google sets no minimum that matters, because your cost per lead sets the real one. Let’s say a qualified lead is worth ₹500 to you and you want about 30 a month. That is roughly ₹15,000 a month before GST, on one Search campaign. Performance Max and YouTube wait until Search has proved its return.

Our work is sized from your account, and the way in is free. The free mini audit shows the changes worth making first. The complete ads audit then costs ₹30,000 to ₹80,000 depending on account and catalog size, and we adjust it against your first month.

What ROAS should we expect from Google Ads?

The one your margin requires, first. Anything above that depends on your category, your prices and how warm your audience already is, so we set the target from your numbers before we set a budget.

Let’s say you keep 40% of each order after product and delivery cost. Your break-even ROAS is 2.5, so that is the floor, and the target sits above it by the profit you need. A brand with strong repeat orders can accept a lower first-order ROAS.

You will not hear a ROAS figure from us until we have read your account and your margins. Akshit Bhasin has a short answer for anyone who wants that number early: “no magic wand, and we don’t want quarrels.”

What we do commit to is how it gets measured. Your store or CRM sets the number, Google’s report sits beside it as a cross-check, and both appear in the weekly report.

How long does Google Ads take to show results?

Clicks start once your ads pass review. Cost per order or lead starts to mean something in two to four weeks, and you can plan a budget on it after about a quarter.

Here is how the first quarter runs with us. Week one repairs the conversion setup and the account structure. Weeks two to four cut the obvious waste and move budget to the terms that convert. From there we test ads, landing pages and bidding targets one at a time, because two changes at once tell you nothing.

A long sales cycle takes longer, so we track the steps before the sale, such as a qualified call. A warm audience moves faster, which is why search and ads work better under one roof at AB Media Co.

By day 90 you will know what each campaign type can deliver at your margin. An engineering institute, JIET, shows what a settled account looks like: 2K+ qualified leads cycle after cycle, cost per lead down 40%.

What is the difference between PPC and Google Ads?

PPC, pay per click, is a pricing model. Google Ads is the platform where our PPC work usually starts, and it also sells formats that charge in other ways.

The label matters less than what you buy with it. When our team runs PPC on Google, the work is what this page describes: structure, feed and audit. The same craft applies on Microsoft Advertising and Amazon Ads, and our performance marketing and media buying practice covers those along with Meta, LinkedIn and ads inside ChatGPT. That practice is where our ₹100 Cr+ in managed ad spend sits.

Where do you start? If your customer already searches for what you sell, Google Search and Shopping capture that demand, so we fund them first. If they do not, Meta or YouTube has to create that demand before Search can catch it.

After that, marginal return moves the money, and one weekly report shows you why.

THE OTHER three.
