Choosing an international marketing agency

Agency selection: Google Ads

A useful Google Ads brief connects the search intent to an offer and a measurable action. Before scaling a campaign, agree which conversions matter and how sales will distinguish useful enquiries from noise.

When this service fits

High-intent demand already exists.

What to prepare

Bring account access, target locations, offer details, landing pages and examples of accepted and rejected leads.

What to include in the scope

  • Review campaign structure, search terms and negative keywords.
  • Separate markets and offers where intent or language requires it.
  • Align ads with relevant landing pages and conversion events.
  • Use lead quality feedback to prioritize tests and reporting.

Work formats to discuss

These are ways to frame a brief. Confirm deliverables, responsibilities, timing and price with the agency before starting.

What to ask an agency

  • How will irrelevant queries and unqualified leads be reviewed?
  • Who controls the account and the landing-page changes?

How to discuss the budget

We do not show fixed budgets because international lead generation depends on market, niche, competition, channel mix, offer, landing pages, analytics and sales process. Instead, the index uses a relative price level to show how each agency is positioned without turning the page into a fixed pricing table.

Questions about this service

Can Google Ads work without a new website?

An existing page may be enough if it matches the offer and supports a clear conversion path. Include a landing-page review before deciding to rebuild.

Should we compare agencies by promised CPL?

Ask for the context behind any figure: market, period, lead definition and included costs. Agree how qualified leads will be evaluated in your own test.
