Decision guide
Account ownership should stay with you. The real question is who can manage the full loop: search, page, measurement, and lead quality.

Run ads in-house when you have time, account access, landing pages, conversion definitions, and a real review habit. Use managed help when search-term, destination, tracking, and lead-quality work exceed the team's capacity. Keep the Google Ads account client-owned either way.
Wanting management without landing pages, conversion tracking, or lead-quality feedback.
Capacity and discipline matter more than the label.
In-house
Time, skill, access, and a real weekly or monthly review habit.
Managed
Ongoing keyword, page, conversion, and reporting work outside the team's capacity.
We can set up tracking and destinations, then manage Search when you want a partner on the full loop. If in-house is enough, we will help you see that clearly too.
Keep going with the path that matches what you need next.
Campaigns, keywords, search terms, negatives, landing-page alignment, tracking, and monthly reporting.
Know which clicks, calls, forms, bookings, lead sources, and campaigns are actually creating opportunities.
Paid Search fails when the search, ad promise, landing page, conversion definition, and lead quality are managed as separate projects.
Search Ads can be useful for service businesses, but keywords alone do not fix a weak offer, page, booking path, or conversion setup.
A practical lead-quality framework for source, service, location, budget, timing, contactability, qualification, proposal, close, revenue, lost reasons, and feedback to marketing.
WCAP Works will review account ownership, team capacity, measurement, landing-page fit, and lead-quality feedback.
