01

Acquisition strategy and account structure

We build the strategy that serves your objectives, from first contact to purchase, and the account structure that carries it: each campaign type serves one stated objective, generating demand, acquiring new customers or holding profitability.

  • Upper funnel: reaching demand before it is expressed, on audiences that look like your best customers.
  • Lower funnel: capturing intent at the point of purchase, holding your brand and recovering open carts.
  • Audiences and targeting: first-party segments, exclusions, and the distinction between a new customer and an existing one.
  • Architecture by intent: one campaign per objective, one budget per objective, bidding aligned with what each one serves.
  • Product feeds: feeds enriched with detailed information and conversational attributes, to exist in AI-driven shopping experiences.
02

Data, measurement and steering

An algorithm optimises on what you let it see. An account that sends a purchase along with its margin asks Google to go after profit, and gets it.

  • Enhanced and offline conversions: calls, store visits, CRM signatures, sent back with their value.
  • Margin and new customers in the bidding: your real costs become the signal the campaigns optimise on.
  • First-party audiences: Customer Match and the Data Manager API, value segments and exclusions.
  • Incrementality measurement: geo-lift, Causal Impact and marketing mix modeling to establish what the channel actually creates.
  • Variance decomposition: what comes from volume, from conversion rate and from mix, with contributions that sum to the observed gap.
  • Our MCP servers and Capture AI: steering the campaigns, producing BI reporting and querying your Google Ads data straight from your LLM.
03

Ad creative

AI-driven campaigns run whatever you give them. We produce and refresh those assets with our studio.

  • Performance Max assets: images, headlines and descriptions per asset group, with the audience signals that steer them.
  • Demand Gen and YouTube video: 16:9, 1:1 and 9:16 cuts produced from a single shoot.
  • Search ads: headlines and descriptions written on your real search terms.
  • Test protocols: what stays live, what gets replaced, and how often.

What our SEA engagement covers

01

Audit and framing

We review the account against seventy-four checkpoints across six families: conversion tracking, wasted spend, structure, keywords, ads and settings. You leave with a health score, the places where spend is lost, and the workstreams ranked by expected gain. Tracking and the product feed are audited along with the account, because that is where what the campaigns can optimise on is decided.

A magnifying glass over a list of checkpoints
On a low-volume account, we grade the mechanics more than the month performance: the settings are what can be read reliably.

02

Account restructuring

We redraw the account tree around your purchase intents and your objectives: which campaigns, of which types, with which budget on each. Each campaign type is tied to what it serves, generating demand, acquiring new customers or holding profitability. Bidding is rebuilt on your real costs, and the switch happens in waves to preserve the learning of the campaigns already running.

Two interlocking cogwheels
A structure is decided on your intents and your catalogue. The migration plan is dated and approved before the first change.

03

Campaign management

A consultant holds your account day to day: search terms, exclusions, promotional assets scheduled and dated ahead of the period, budget trade-offs between campaigns. Every week, a control round picks up what moved across all accounts. Every month, a written report says where the variation comes from and what we do about it. And when the question becomes whether the channel truly creates value, we answer it with an incrementality test.

A performance curve plotted point by point
The monthly report is written four-handed: our agents produce the figures on encoded methods, the consultant who knows your account reads them and decides.

04

Support and training

We work with your teams as much as for them. The month backlog is decided together at a governance meeting, the methods and the queries that produce your figures are documented and stay with you, and we train your teams on the setup we have built. Your internal consultants and your agency can take over whenever you decide.

Two speech bubbles, one answering the other
What stays with you after the engagement: the setup, the documented methods, and teams who know how to run it.

Partners

What our statuses bring, and what else to look at

Google reserves Premier Partner status for the top 3 % of partners in each country, ranked every year on growth in managed spend, client acquisition and retention, product diversification and total investment. We are also a Microsoft Advertising Partner.

What it brings us concretely: a dedicated contact at Google, access to features in beta before general release, and regular briefings on product changes. Our clients benefit from it through early testing, on a defined scope.

These criteria cover the agency activity. To judge what an agency will achieve at your company, look at its documented client cases and at the way it explains its results.

Frequently asked questions about SEA

What do you steer the campaigns on?

On the figures that drive decisions at your company. We feed your real costs, your margin per product, the share of new customers and the value observed over time into the bidding strategies, so that the campaigns optimise on your commercial reality.

How far this goes depends on what your information system exposes. We start by looking at what is available, then we build the signal with your teams.

What media budget does SEA require?

It is worked out from your own market. The useful amount depends on the cost per click on your queries, on your conversion rate and on what a customer is worth to you. On an uncontested niche, a few hundred euros a month already produces learning. On a tight market, you need enough to feed the automated bidding so it moves past its learning phase.

We size that threshold during framing, from the real volumes of your market, and we say whether the channel holds up against your other options.

How do you charge, and on what commitment?

On a fixed price against a written scope, in most cases. An audit or a restructuring is sold as a project, with its deliverables and its end date. Ongoing management is sold as a monthly run, with what is included each month and a backlog decided together.

Your media budget stays with you and never passes through us: our fees and your ad spend are two separate lines. You keep ownership of your accounts, your data and the documentation produced.

Do you take over an existing account, or start from scratch?

We always start by reading what is already there. A running account carries conversion history that has value, and destroying it costs weeks of learning.

The audit says what to keep and what to rebuild. When a restructuring is called for, it happens in waves, with a dated plan approved before the first change, so performance keeps running through the work.

How do you connect SEA and SEO?

We read them as a single search territory. In practice, we look at paid and organic performance together to spot the overlap, brand queries in particular, and we adjust paid coverage accordingly.

SEA also works as a laboratory: conversion rates observed by purchase intent tell you which pages deserve a content effort. Our SEO and GEO offering takes over from there.

What does an incrementality test change for us?

It answers the question attribution leaves open: among the conversions credited to the campaigns, which ones would have happened anyway?

Depending on the context, we use a geo-lift test, a Causal Impact analysis on a budget cut, or marketing mix modeling. The protocol is framed before anything is launched: which decision depends on the answer, what precision is reachable, and whether the test is worth running. When the answer is no, we say so.
