Growth Plan ● Google Ads ● Outsource Accounting

Turn Google spend into qualified outsourced accounting leads.

In September, Google spent $3,726 and recorded 2 conversions. We rebuild the account around the searches most likely to become clients, prove the traffic in the search terms and audiences, and start in Upstate New York, where your brand already wins. Once it proves out, the same structure grows into new markets.

NextWhere The Growth IsWhere the spend went, and where it should go.

Where The Growth Is

Four things in the September report point to where the next dollar should go.

1One campaign recorded both conversions.

Small business and startups, 2 conversions
$1,245
General outsource accounting, 0 conversions
$1,203
Nonprofit, 0 conversions
$1,278

September Google spend by campaign. 67% went to the two campaigns with no recorded conversions.

2Nonprofit is where you win. Give its best searches the budget.

September nonprofit campaign by ad group, named as in the report. 97% of its $1,278 sat in the informational group.

3575 paid clicks, about 100 tracked visits.

"I wanna see down to the keyword level. That's the only way I know how to manage a campaign."Tom Tortora, October 5, 2026

Clicks come from the report's Google section and visits from its analytics section. Account access shows whether the gap is tracking, traffic quality, or both.

4Both conversions came from Upstate New York. Page visits skew to New York City.

NextThe PlanGoogle first, Upstate first, every click checked.

The Plan

Google first, in the market where your brand already wins, with the traffic checked at every step.

Fix the structure. Then prove the traffic.

Core

Google Ads, rebuilt around outsourced accounting

  • Gold Pan TechniqueYour highest-intent outsourced accounting and nonprofit searches get their own budget.
  • N-Gram RefinementSearch terms read across the full history, with poor fits cut as negatives.
  • The First Aid KitLocation, day and hour set to where and when your buyers search, Upstate first.
  • Light page guidance: the conversion action, a qualifying question and message match, plus a check of the pages your team builds.
Option 2, then Option 3

Landing page testing, then expansion

  • On-Site CRO TestingOur CRO team builds and tests new landing pages, with heatmaps and session data showing where visitors stop.
  • Option 3 adds LinkedIn, performance creative, more testing and new markets, each scoped when the account is ready.

How you'll know it's working.

"But also just giving us recommendations on how to set up the landing page. Just that kind of feedback. And then when we do set up the page adjustments, if you can give us that kind of feedback and adjustments and then just focus on managing the spend, that to me is a win."Tom Tortora, Principal, October 5, 2026

How we prove it

  • Search term reports: every search you paid for, and what we cut
  • Audience reports: who clicked, by location, device and time of day
  • Each lead tagged with the campaign that produced it, so your team can confirm which were qualified

Deliberately not in scope

  • Writing or building landing pages in Option 1. Your team builds; we recommend
  • LinkedIn and other channels in Options 1 and 2. They sit in Option 3, scoped later
  • Organic search rankings
  • Other practice groups, until outsourced accounting proves out
NextThe MathWhat one new client is worth against the plan.

The Math

The arithmetic, using your numbers from our call.

One new client at your minimum fee covers about three months of the plan.

$6,226
Google spend plus Option 1, a month
$18,000
One new client at your minimum fee, a year

Spend is September's $3,726. Most of your clients come in at $50,000 to $60,000 a year, which covers eight months or more.

The marks. We don't invent targets.

Conversions2SeptemberSet after 30 days livewith you, quarterly
Cost per conversion$1,863SeptemberBaseline month firstthen the mark
Paid clicks tracked as visits17%SeptemberGap explainedfirst 30 days
Nonprofit spend on high-intent searches1%September, by ad groupBaseline month firstthen the mark

Your goal from our call: good qualified leads coming through. We set goals with you quarterly, once 30 days of clean data are in.

What we won't promise

  • A cost per lead before 30 days of clean data are in
  • Cheaper clicks. Higher-intent searches can cost more per click
  • Results in Manhattan or national markets before Upstate proves out

What we commit to

  • Search term and audience reports you can read, down to the search
  • Every change explained in plain language
  • A check of the pages your Google ads send traffic to
NextInvestmentThree ways to start.

Investment

Start with Google, or Google plus landing page testing. Expansion comes once the account proves out.

Two ways to start, one way to grow. We recommend Google, Upstate First.

Offline conversion trackingSends the leads that become clients back to Google, so bidding learns from real outcomes, not form fills. Recommended with Option 1 or 2, once we confirm your lead form passes the click ID through to your CRM.
$1,500one time

The management fee is the greater of the flat fee or 10% of monthly ad spend, never both. Ad spend is paid directly to the ad platform. No setup fee. Option 3 is scoped and priced when you're ready for it.
