What we manage

Every type of Google Ad.
One specialist team.

Our experts manage all Google Ads campaign types — from high-intent search ads to YouTube video campaigns — so you don't need to juggle multiple agencies.

Search Ads
Show up at the top of Google when customers are actively searching for what you offer. The highest-intent traffic available — people who are ready to buy.
Performance Max
AI-powered campaigns that run across all of Google's channels — Search, Display, YouTube, Gmail, and Maps — automatically optimising toward your conversion goals.
Shopping Ads
Product-based campaigns that display your items with images, prices, and store name directly in Google search results. Essential for any e-commerce business.
Display Ads
Visual banner ads shown across millions of websites, apps, and Gmail. Perfect for building brand awareness, staying top of mind, and reaching new audiences.
YouTube Video Ads
Reach your audience on YouTube with skippable, non-skippable, and bumper ads. Highly effective for businesses with a visual story to tell or a product to demonstrate.
Remarketing Ads
Re-engage people who have already visited your website but didn't convert. Remarketing campaigns keep your brand in front of warm prospects across the web and YouTube.
How it works

Google Ads explained.
No tech jargon.

Google Ads is cost-per-click advertising — you only pay when someone clicks your ad. Here is how it works from search to sale.

You are always in control of your budget
With Google Ads you have complete control over how much you spend. You can grow or shrink your campaign as your business needs change — increasing or decreasing the number of ads in any market segment at any time. Your budget is yours. We never mark it up or take a cut of it.
01
A customer searches on Google
Someone types in a keyword related to your business — "plumber Pretoria" or "estate agent Sandton" — and Google runs an auction in milliseconds to decide which ads to show.
02
Your ad appears at the top
If your campaign is set up correctly, your ad appears at the top of the results page — above the organic listings — when someone searches a keyword we have targeted for your business.
03
They click — you pay
You are only charged when someone clicks your ad. The cost-per-click varies by industry and keyword competitiveness, but you set the maximum you are willing to pay.
04
They land on your page and convert
The visitor lands on a page optimised for conversion — a contact form, a phone number, a product page. We track every conversion so we know exactly which clicks are turning into customers.
05
Google's algorithms learn and improve
With enough conversion data, Google's powerful algorithms identify your highest-converting keywords, audiences, and times of day — and automatically allocate more budget to what works. This is where the real ROI comes from.

Our process

How we manage your
Google Ads campaigns.

From your first onboarding call to ongoing monthly optimisation — here is exactly what working with LeadArt Digital looks like.

01
Virtual onboarding meeting
We start with a virtual onboarding meeting to discuss your business goals, target audience, and current marketing. An onboarding manager guides you through everything needed to get started, including choosing the right service level plan.
02
Account setup and strategy
Our Google Ads team builds your account from the ground up — campaign structure, keyword research, ad groups, ad copy, extensions, and bid strategy. Every element is set up to maximise your conversion rate from day one.
03
Conversion tracking review
A conversion specialist reviews your tracking to ensure we are capturing every phone call, form submission, and purchase that results from your Google Ads. Without accurate tracking, optimisation is guesswork — we don't do guesswork.
04
Ongoing management and reporting
We monitor your campaigns daily and optimise based on performance. If the account is meeting its goals, we make careful incremental improvements. If it's not, we optimise more aggressively. Monthly reports keep you fully informed.
How often do we optimise?
The frequency depends on your budget and how the account is performing. We may optimise as frequently as three times per week or as little as once per month — based on what the data tells us. Optimisations include adding and removing keywords, editing ad copy, and adjusting bids and settings to continually improve results. Our philosophy is simple: if it is not broken, we do not fix it.
What does your support team do?
You have direct access to our support team via a simple ticketing system. Any questions about your campaigns are answered in a timely manner. You will never be passed around departments or left waiting for a response. Our goal is to manage your Google Ads so you can focus on what matters most — taking care of your new customers.
Why LeadArt Digital

What makes us different
from other agencies.

01
We work with businesses of all sizes
Unlike larger agencies that only want to work with budgets over R50,000 a month, we have spent years perfecting our processes to keep our prices low enough for small and local businesses — while delivering the same quality of management as any enterprise agency.
02
Fixed fees, zero spend markup
Your ad spend goes directly from your card to Google. We charge a fixed monthly management fee and never take a percentage of what you spend on ads. This means we have no incentive to inflate your budget — our only incentive is to get you better results.
03
No confusing tech talk
We report on what matters to your business — leads, cost-per-lead, and revenue — not impressions, quality scores, and click-through rates that don't translate to commercial outcomes. Monthly reports are written in plain English, not agency jargon.
04
Certified Google Ads specialists
Our team holds Google certifications in Search, Shopping, Video, and Google Analytics 4. We are not generalists who dabble in Google Ads — this is what we do every day, for clients across South Africa, across multiple industries.
05
Zero lock-in contracts
We do not believe in trapping clients in long-term contracts. We work on a monthly basis — you stay because the results are good, not because you signed something that prevents you from leaving. Three months is what we ask for to demonstrate real results.
06
All work done in South Africa
We are a Pretoria-based agency and all of our work is done locally. We understand the South African market, the local competitive landscape, and what resonates with SA consumers. You are not dealing with an overseas team managing your campaigns remotely.
Common questions

Google Ads questions
answered honestly.

Google Ads costs consist of two parts: your ad spend (what you pay Google per click) and our management fee. Ad spend varies widely by industry — highly competitive sectors like legal or financial services can have a cost-per-click of R50 or more, while home services or local businesses might pay R5–R20 per click. We recommend a minimum ad spend of R5,000 per month to generate enough data to optimise effectively. Our management fees start at R4,500 per month.
Google Ads can generate leads within days of going live — unlike SEO which takes months. However, the first 4–8 weeks are a learning phase where Google's algorithms are gathering data and we are making optimisations based on early results. Most clients start seeing consistent lead flow by month 2, with performance improving significantly as the account matures and accumulates conversion data.
Yes — you need somewhere to send the people who click your ads. A dedicated landing page purpose-built for conversion typically performs significantly better than sending traffic to a general homepage. We offer landing page design and build as a standalone service, and we always review your landing page as part of onboarding to identify any issues that could hurt conversion rates.
You do — always. We manage your account on your behalf using our Manager Account (MCC). If you ever leave LeadArt Digital, you keep your Google Ads account, your campaign history, your keywords, your conversion data — everything. We will never hold your account hostage or make it difficult to take it elsewhere.
Absolutely. We regularly take over existing accounts — often after a business has been running campaigns themselves or with a previous agency that wasn't delivering results. We start with a full account audit to document what is working and what isn't, then present our findings before making any changes. If you want an audit of your existing account before committing to anything, we offer that as a standalone service from R2,000.
We ask for three months. This is not a lock-in — it is the minimum time needed for Google's algorithms to gather enough conversion data to optimise properly and for us to demonstrate real results. Short-term engagements don't produce meaningful outcomes for anyone. After three months, we work month-to-month and you can cancel with 30 days' notice.
Every client receives a monthly performance report delivered by the 5th of the following month. Growth tier clients and above also get a live Looker Studio dashboard they can check any time. Reports cover total leads generated, cost per lead, total ad spend, month-on-month comparison, what changes we made during the month, and what we plan to do next. We write in plain English — no jargon, no irrelevant metrics.
