Attribution-First Google Ads Management | High-Ticket Lead Gen

I run a three-person Google Ads firm. We manage close to $1M/month in ad spend across healthcare staffing, behavioral health and addiction treatment, legal, home services, and e-commerce. Before I look at an ad account, I want to understand the business. What is the close rate? What is a customer worth? Where is the capacity? If I do not know those numbers, the campaign strategy is going to be wrong. That is where every engagement starts. The other thing clients hire us for is attribution they can trust. We call it attribution-first Google Ads management. Most accounts we open are optimizing toward form fills and phone calls that never became revenue. We wire conversion tracking to the source of truth: CRM records, call tracking, offline conversion imports. Google then optimizes toward closed business instead of raw leads. On one recent account we found $51K in conversions the old setup was silently dropping. How we work: three people, no junior account managers, no handoffs. Ongoing management runs on a fee tied to ad spend, and the best fit there is $25K+/month in spend. But plenty of clients start smaller, with an audit or a tracking fix or a strategy consult, and grow from there. Happy to start where you are. Air Force before this.
