Our PPC agency philosophy: Manage your money like it was our own.
You need a PPC agency in San Antonio, TX who will manage your funds as every dollar counts. We will eliminate spend that is not working, ensure you don’t go over budget, and pause campaigns when the results are not there.
We believe that if something is not working, then we should pause it and try something else. If the incorrect keywords are triggering ads, then we can find them and add them as negatives to the campaign, or account. If tracking is broken, then we know how to fix it. Sounds pretty straightforward, but these are rare attributes you won’t find at every PPC agency.
Pear is committed to these PPC management principles and has built operational frameworks and processes to ensure you’re getting the “bang for your buck”. We’re not going to sell you something that you don’t need, or won’t work, and we’ll tell you straight up if PPC is not right for you.

San Antonio PPC Services for Google Ads, Facebook Ads, Amazon Ads and More!
Working with a PPC agency can sometimes lead to a situation where you find out that you do not own or control the advertising accounts. The PPC agency can claim that the account structure is “proprietary”. This is misleading. Many PPC agencies use automated software to manage your account. We find that many times your account could be on “auto-pilot.”
Pear is the PPC agency in San Antonio, TX that can help you rebuild and own your advertising accounts, and ensure you keep all of your PPC data. And for more transparency, our PPC services require that you pay the advertising platforms directly. If you aren’t paying the platforms directly, the PPC agency could be marking up your cost per click.
Channels we can advertise your brand on:
The Pear Difference
Why choose Pear Analytics for PPC services?
NEW! Free fraud protection included!
New for 2022 is our new fraud protection monitoring service included free on every account. With 17% of all internet traffic being non-human, chances are your ads are getting clicked from bots, competitors and other unwanted activity. We protect your clicks so your budget is reserved for real prospects, resulting in better performance of your ads. Google, Microsoft and Facebook ads are protected.
No automated bidding software
These are tools and sophisticated software that agencies use to automatically manage your campaigns with very little, or no human intervention. It’s the only way your account manager can handle 80+ accounts. Not here. At Pear, we believe in manual setup and management because AI doesn’t understand your business.

How much does Google Ads cost?
As much as you want it to, essentially. You can set your own Google Ads budget depending on your overall marketing budget. You can spend as little as a few hundred dollars a month. When deciding on your budget, remember that your monthly budget should be paced across 30 days and clicks can cost anywhere from $0.50 to hundreds of dollars depending on your industry. Use our keyword tool to help you estimate what your costs will be.
Where should I start when creating a PPC campaign for the first time?
Every situation is different. The type of paid media you should run depends on your goals and product/service. You can use our helpful guide above to guide you in the right direction, or go ahead and give us a call so we can help you decide!
What should I measure in my PPC campaign?
The first step is to decide what is your goal of your paid media budget. Do you have different goals for each platform? Knowing this can help decide on your KPIs (key performance indicators). On top of this, using your own data from your performance to help decide your benchmarks is essential.
Most clients choose cost per acquisition/lead as one of their KPIs. We can set up goals via Google Analytics to track different actions that you deem important to your business and use this to monitor performance.
How long does it take to see results with PPC?
Paid digital marketing programs can create results immediately depending on the length of the purchase life cycle for your product or service. The longer your purchase cycle, the longer it will take to see the results from paid media, as it is bringing more people into the funnel and pushing them down the funnel.
I tried Google AdWords but it was a waste of money, could you do better?
Many times we see that clients that run their own Google Ads accounts are missing the experience and in depth knowledge that an agency has. This includes staying up to date on Google Best Practices and a deep knowledge of cause and effect in the accounts.
