Edmonton PPC Agency: How We Run Paid Search
We build each pay-per-click (PPC) Google Ads campaign from the ground up. Each one gets proper conversion tracking, structured ad groups, and tight negative keyword management. Conversion tracking counts the calls and forms your ads bring in. Negative keywords block searches you should not pay for. Tracking runs through your own server-side tagging server, and closed sales flow back to Google Ads by API, with no Zapier. Our systems check budgets twice an hour and flag unusual spending automatically, so nothing runs away unnoticed. Read why we charge flat fees instead of taking a percentage of your spend.
Three dedicated Google Ads specialists each manage a defined set of accounts. One specialist is responsible for yours, with no rotation of junior staff.

The Choice OMG Difference
Many agencies charge a percentage of your ad spend. We charge a flat monthly fee, so our incentives line up with your results instead of your budget size.
Flat Monthly Fee
Our management fee is flat and never a percentage of ad spend. That keeps us focused on performance rather than budget growth.
Named Account Manager
You know who manages your account. A named specialist is responsible for your campaigns, and junior staff never rotate through them.
Automated Monitoring and Weekly Optimization
Automated budget checks run every 30 minutes, and conversion data syncs several times a day. Each week we review bids, negative keywords, ad copy, and landing pages by hand.
How Much Does Google Ads Cost in Edmonton?
Our flat management fee starts at CAD $1,200 a month, and your ad spend is separate. Five Edmonton-area accounts we manage cover refrigeration, paving, auto service, personal injury law, and optometry. Over the 90 days to September 8, 2026, their average cost per click ran CAD $1.36 to $3.96. A competitive keyword such as "personal injury lawyer edmonton" averaged $13.57 in the same period. Your first proposal builds a budget from your own target searches and those measured costs.
Google Ads Competition in the Edmonton Market
Google Ads in Edmonton is competitive, especially in home services, legal, and healthcare. In those fields, a high-intent click can cost several times what a click costs elsewhere. Businesses along Jasper Avenue, on Whyte Ave, and across the south side all bid on the same local terms. Without disciplined campaign architecture, it's easy to burn through budget on irrelevant clicks and broad-match waste.
Seasonality sets Edmonton's ad market apart. Construction and landscaping campaigns spike every spring as the frost clears. HVAC and furnace repair searches surge from October to February. Automotive service demand follows the tire-change seasons. We've run Edmonton Google Ads campaigns through enough yearly cycles to know when to raise budgets or pull back. We also know how to adjust bid strategies for each phase.
Edmonton businesses often see a stronger return on investment when they pair paid search with Web Optimization. If your site ranks in unpaid results while your ads run, you hold more of the search results page. One Edmonton automotive service business reached an 825% return on ad spend (ROAS). It got there by running paid and organic strategies under one team. See our automotive Google Ads case study for the breakdown.
Landing page quality shapes both sides of that equation. A slow or cluttered site drags down your Quality Score. That score is Google's rating of how well your ads and pages match a search. It also lets a paid click leave before the visitor calls or sends a form. If the site behind your ads works against them, see Edmonton web design build specs and pricing.
How to Choose an Edmonton Google Ads Agency
Three things separate an agency that grows your business from one that grows its own invoice. They are how it charges, who works on your account, and how fast it catches problems. The table compares our model with what to watch for.
| What to check | Choice OMG | What to watch for |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing model | Flat fee, from $1,200 monthly | A percentage of ad spend |
| Who manages it | One named specialist | Rotating junior staff |
| Budget monitoring | Verified every 30 minutes | Checked monthly, by hand |
| Account ownership | You own the account and data | Agency-owned account |
| Tracking | Your own tagging server and tracking template | Browser-only tags |
| Reporting | Monthly, against agreed key metrics | Vanity click dashboards |
A Google Ads account moved from another agency keeps its conversion history only if the account is yours. Get admin access under your own email before you give notice. The agency handover checklist lists that login and the 12 others to collect. The first 90 days with a new agency sets out what a Google Ads account should show by day 90.
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes a PPC agency the 'best' in Edmonton?
Three things, in combination. The first is specialization: our three-person team runs paid media full time instead of between other channels. The second is monitoring: budgets are verified every half hour and tracking is validated continuously. The third is pricing: flat fees tie us to your conversion goals rather than your ad spend.
How much should an Edmonton business spend on Google Ads?
It depends on the searches you want to win and what they cost. In five Edmonton-area accounts we manage, the average cost per click ran CAD $1.36 to $3.96 over the 90 days to September 8, 2026. We recommend a realistic budget based on your target keywords and that local cost-per-click data. Our flat management fee is separate.
Can you manage my existing Google Ads campaigns?
Yes. Many new clients come to us with existing campaigns that are underperforming. We start with a full account audit.
How do you handle seasonal campaigns in Edmonton?
We build budget calendars that raise spend ahead of each seasonal spike. Spend then tapers as search volume returns to normal. Construction spikes in spring, and HVAC surges from October to February.
