Is Google Ads worth it in a market of a city of 127k?
Yes if the math works — Ajax is small enough that wasted spend is obvious and large enough that healthcare demand exists. We build the account to that scale. Vanity networks and unused Performance Max are how small cities get burned.
If the TAM cannot support the CPA, we say so before you launch.
Can you run ads without being based in Ajax?
Yes. Ajax PPC is targeting, copy, and landing pages — not a cubicle downtown. We still write like Downtown Ajax, not like a call centre. The account settings do the geography; the copy does the trust.
You get Canadian humans, not an overseas bid farm.
When do we know Ajax ads are working?
When Ajax PPC produces tracked leads at a CPA you can live with — not when CTR looks pretty. We instrument calls and forms first. Two weeks of “optimizing headlines” with no conversion tracking is a hobby.
Carruthers Creek brand terms can flatter you. We separate them.
Should Ajax businesses run ads and SEO together?
Almost always. Ads teach which healthcare phrases convert; SEO keeps them when you stop paying. Doing one in a silo is how Ontario companies pay twice for the same lesson.
We share the query list across both briefs.
Do you do Shopping and Performance Max in Ajax?
When the feed and the margin deserve it. We do not turn on every Google surface because a checklist said so. Ajax retail is not a demo account.
Search remains the default until the numbers argue.
