PPC Management
PPC management is running paid search and paid social campaigns — Google Ads and Meta primarily — managed against cost per qualified lead rather than click volume or impression counts, with budget reallocated continually toward what is actually converting. At Beacon Coders that means dedicated landing pages built for each campaign rather than sending paid traffic to a generic homepage, since a mismatched landing page is the most common reason paid campaigns underperform. Retainers start at ₹30,000 / $360 per month plus ad spend, with a 3-month minimum.
Why cost per lead, not cost per click
Click volume and cost per click are easy to report and easy to improve by simply spending more, but neither tells you whether the traffic converts into anything your business can use. We report cost per qualified lead as the primary metric, which means tracking what happens after the click — did the visitor fill out a form, request a callback, start a trial — not just whether they arrived. This sometimes means recommending a smaller, more targeted campaign with a higher cost per click but a lower cost per qualified lead, which looks worse on a click-volume report and performs better for your actual business.

What's not included
PPC management does not include the ad spend budget itself, which is paid by you directly to Google, Meta or the relevant platform — our fee covers strategy, execution and reporting, kept separate so you always see exactly where your media budget goes. It does not include organic search work (see SEO services), organic social content (see social media optimisation), or building the core website the campaigns point to beyond dedicated landing pages, which is scoped separately under web development if the main site needs work.
Frequently asked questions
How we run a PPC engagement
We start with an audit of any existing campaigns and your current conversion tracking, since broken or missing tracking is a common finding before we look at the campaigns themselves at all — the same audit-first approach behind every programme under digital marketing. From there we build campaigns with dedicated landing pages, launch with a defined testing plan for ad copy and targeting, and adjust weekly based on what the data shows. Monthly reporting explains the reasoning behind budget shifts, not just the resulting numbers.
