What kind of accounts have you worked with?

How Do You Handle Reporting, and Who Owns the Account?

Transparency in reporting is vital. Ask about their reporting process. They track metrics. They report often. They show their findings. Ownership of the account is equally important. Always ensure you own your Google Ads account. Your provider needs the access to manage it. Don’t give them login credentials. Add them as users to your account.

Providers like Rena often prefer starting with a fresh account. This is to avoid previous mismanagement and to use ad credits. Be wary of companies that set up accounts using your credentials. They may then remove you from access.

Transparency and Collaboration

Strategy Sessions

Your provider should include you in strategy sessions. The goal is to clearly outline campaign goals. This includes discussing possible keywords.

Integration with Other Platforms

An advantage is that your Google Ads provider integrates campaigns with other platforms. For example, with Facebook. This multi-channel strategy can enhance your advertising efforts’ overall effectiveness. Working in silos can limit your campaign’s potential, so ask if they are comfortable with such integrations.

Security and Best Practices

Security is paramount. Verify that your provider uses secure methods to gain access to your accounts and doesn’t take shortcuts that could compromise your security.

Regular Monitoring and Adjustments

Good providers regularly monitor campaigns to ensure optimal performance. They should actively tweak and adjust the campaigns based on real-time data. Companies like Rena run proactive checks and avoid launching anything on Fridays to ensure immediate attention if issues arise.
