PPC, Social & Content Marketing

PPC and paid media agency in the USA. Google Ads, Meta and LinkedIn managed against cost-per-qualified-lead — live dashboards, not monthly PDF theater.

The short answer

HandsOnTech manages Google Ads, Meta, LinkedIn and content marketing programs for U.S. businesses against one number — cost per qualified lead — with GA4 conversion tracking wired to your CRM and a live dashboard instead of a monthly PDF of vanity charts.

Ad spend tied to pipeline, not impressions

Most agency reporting is a magic trick: impressions up, clicks up, engagement up — pipeline flat. The metrics that sound good in a monthly deck are not the metrics your CFO asks about.

We manage every channel against cost per qualified lead — a lead your sales team would actually call back, defined together before launch and verified in your CRM. When that’s the number on the dashboard, every optimization decision gets simpler: cut what produces form-fills from job seekers, scale what produces buyers.

Tracking first, spend second

Before a dollar of budget moves, we wire the measurement: GA4 configured around your funnel, conversion events that match real sales stages, CRM integration so closed deals attribute back to the click, and call tracking where phones matter. It’s unglamorous work and it’s why our optimization decisions are based on revenue signal instead of platform-reported conversions that flatter the platform.

Channels, chosen by where your buyers are

  • Google Ads — search, Performance Max and Shopping for demand that already exists
  • Meta — prospecting and retargeting where the creative does the targeting
  • LinkedIn — B2B audiences worth their higher CPCs when deal sizes justify it
  • TikTok — younger consumer audiences and creative-led categories
  • Content and email — the compounding channel: articles that answer buyer questions, nurture that converts the not-yet-ready

We’ll also tell you which channels not to fund. A $3k budget spread across four platforms buys four sets of noise; concentrated on one, it buys learnings and leads.

Landing pages: where ad budgets go to die

The most common paid-media failure isn’t targeting — it’s sending expensive clicks to a slow, generic page. Our ads team sits next to the designers and developers who build landing pages for a living, so message match, page speed and conversion layout are part of the engagement, not someone else’s problem.

Recent results from this combination: cost per lead down 38% in a quarter and qualified leads up 2.1× year over year for accounts where we controlled both the ads and the pages.

Honest reporting, in writing

You get live dashboard access — the same view we use, including the campaigns that are underperforming and the plan to fix them. Monthly calls are strategy sessions about next quarter, not slide-by-slide defenses of last month. And if a channel isn’t working for your business, we’ll recommend pausing it, even when that shrinks our own scope. That’s what keeps clients for years instead of quarters.

FAQs

Common questions

How much should I budget for paid media management?

Management fees typically run $2k to $8k monthly depending on channel count and creative needs, on top of your ad spend. Most clients start seeing stable cost-per-qualified-lead numbers with $3k–$10k monthly spend per channel. We'll tell you honestly if your budget is too small for a channel to work — before taking it.

What does "qualified lead" mean in your reporting?

A lead your sales team would actually call back — defined together before launch using firmographic fit, intent signals and CRM disposition. Form fills from job seekers and students don't count. That definition is wired into the tracking, so the dashboard number and your pipeline agree.

How fast does PPC show results?

Campaigns generate data from day one and stabilize within 4–8 weeks as we cut losing segments and scale winners. Expect the first month to be calibration — anyone promising a target CPA in week one is guessing with your money.

Do you handle ad creative and landing pages?

Yes. Ad copy, static and video creative, and the landing pages the clicks deserve — built by the same team that does our conversion design work. Sending paid traffic to a slow generic page is the most common way ad budgets die; we fix that first.

What's in the live dashboard?

Spend, qualified leads, cost per qualified lead, and channel performance — updated continuously, accessible any time. The same numbers we see, including the ones moving the wrong way and what we're doing about them. No monthly PDF theater.

Can you run PPC alongside SEO?

That's the ideal setup. Paid fills the pipeline now while SEO and AEO compound over quarters — and paid search data tells us which keywords convert before we invest months ranking for them. One team, one dashboard, one strategy.
